THE RIGHT GATE! – Matthew 7:13 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

THE RIGHT GATE!

Matthew 7:13 – Devotional

Matthew 7:13

“Enter by the narrow gate; but wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and most people enter that gate.”

It is imperative for us to rely upon the infallible Word of God to give us a reality check. There is so much garbage in today’s media that it is often hard to breathe. The most important reality check is that everyone is on the way to an eternal destination. It makes a critical difference as to our destination.

First and foremost we need to understand that we are offered a heaven to gain and a hell to avoid! There are many people who discount the harsh reality of hell. The fact of the matter is that Jesus spoke clearly about the reality of that place of eternal pain and suffering. All that is required to go there is to do nothing.

Jesus came into the world to offer a glorious alternative to the eternal flames of hell. He suffered and died for us to give us an eternal home that is beyond our wildest imagination. The requirement is to be born again and have our name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

We do not gain access to heaven by trying to be good, but by being covered by the blood of Jesus. He came to shed his blood to cover our sinful nature. I beg you not to take the broad and easy way that leads to eternal damnation, but choose God’s way that leads to life beyond imagination. Take the right gate!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

JESUS THE VERY THOUGHT OF THEE! – Philippians 1:21 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

JESUS THE VERY THOUGHT OF THEE!

Philippians 1:21 – Devotional

Philippians 1:21

“For to me to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

During a time that history calls the “Dark Ages” the church was in confusion. Christianity had become degenerate and corrupt. Moral standards of the people were a disgrace and shame. But God always has for Himself a remnant of true believers. One of those was Bernard of Clairvaux

God used this man to pen the words to some devotional poems that have become some of our finest hymns, and today’s hymn “Jesus, the Very Thought of Thee.”

JESUS THE VERY THOUGHT OF THEE

1. Jesus, the very thought of Thee
with sweetness fills the breast;
but sweeter far Thy face to see,
and in Thy presence rest.

2. O hope of every contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
to those who fall, how kind Thou art!
How good to those who seek!

3. But what to those who find? Ah, this
nor tongue nor pen can show;
the love of Jesus, what it is,
none but His loved ones know.

4. Jesus, our only joy be Thou,
as Thou our prize wilt be;
Jesus, be Thou our glory now,
and through eternity.

ALWAYS FAITHFUL! – Hebrews 13:8 Devotional

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

ALWAYS FAITHFUL!

Hebrews 13:8 – Devotional

Hebrews 13:8

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”

I hate to say it, but the promises of some people are like a hot air balloon. When the flame dies down the balloon loses lift and sinks to the ground. If this is intentional on the part of the balloonist it is good. If it is not intentional and very unexpected it can be catastrophic!

We live in a world of uncertainty! The promises that some people make are very much like a hot air balloon – – filled with nothing but hot air! That may sound harsh and judgmental, but when we live our life committed to Christ we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit and not just a lot of hot air!

The words of our mouth and the actions of our life must match in order for us to be counted upon by the Lord. Any time we say one thing and do another we prove that there is a hole in our balloon.

As we make an examination of our life I pray that we will increasingly allow the Lord to fill us and allow us to rise nearer and nearer to Him each passing day! We may not have all of the answers, and in fact have more questions than answers, but in these last days we need to be always faithful!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
