War

This is a call to arms!

It's not like get your guns ready, but a call to spiritual warfare!

What does that mean exactly? 

Well, our enemy, The devil and his forces, are trying to destroy the followers of Christ, he does everything in his power to turn us away from God. The sad fact is, he will succeed in taking over some people, but have hope, we can stop it, we can keep the devil away from us!

How do you do that?

This is one war that won't be fought standing, this war will be fought on our knees. That's right, on our knees in prayer!

Our two strongest weapons, are prayer, and our sword, which is the word of God!

Lets check out Ephesians 6:13-17:

13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of the evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 in addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.

We can fight if we use Gods armor!

Look out for others

I love Philippians, especially Philippians 2!

The part I am talking about is verse 1-4

Here's what it says:

If you have encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in the spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each if you should look not only to your own interest, but also to the interest of others.

That is prolly one of my favorite sections of scripture.

 

Most of us live only to make a "good impression" or to please ourselves,

When really we should be out to help others, we are to be like Christ and love others more than ourselves!

Your brother,

He is risen

Resurrection Sunday, or Easter Sunday,

Is by far the greatest day for Christians,

Because that was the day Sin and Death lost its grip on me and hopefully you!

Good Friday was a sad day when Jesus was crucified, because the Disciples didn't believe he would actually rise from the dead.

All they knew was the man they had been following for the last several years was just brutally murdered.

We know that he did rise, so we can be happy!

But he didn't come back till after 3 days.

Tomorrow is the day we celebrate his resurrection!

When Jesus died, the Devil thought he won, but come Sunday he lost!

Because when Jesus rose He paid our Debt, our sin was forgiven, and we could enter into eternal life with Him!

Now days Resurrection Sunday is very commercialized.

When you think about it, it is the most distorted holiday. At Christmas time most people (even if they aren't Christians) know that it's about Christ's birth.

But with Resurrection Sunday, it's been so heavily commercialized that every on thinks its all about the bunny, the eggs, and getting all dressed up!

At secular (not Christian) stores you can't find anything that says "He is Risen"!

The owners of the said store may say, "

Anything like that is too inappropriate for our young shoppers!"

Are you kidding me? The "Easter Bunny" is more inappropriate! 

I am not saying that "Easter eggs", "Easter bunnies", and chocolate are bad things, but when you are doing your Easter egg hunt, remember what it's all about!

And if you haven't excepted Christ, please do so, He died a painful death for you!

For The King
