Quote by Bruce Coleman:"Pray, work, and give thanks."

Do You Believe?

20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. Psalm 107:20-22 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

Before you bring any petition to God in prayer, answer the Lord’s question:  “Do you believe I am able to do this?” From faith to faith do we hear both the question and the answer. God must do all, from the new birth to full spiritual maturity in Christ, and only faith can receive it. Our responsibility is to pray like 100% of the results depends on God, as well as to work like 100% of the work depends on our willingness to get it done. Both parts of this confession are equally true. God alone brings the results of our prayer and work. Therefore, to God alone belongs the glory. Pray, work, and give thanks. He will certainly make of you all that He created you to be. (Matthew 5:6; Psalm 107:9; 2 Timothy 3:1-7; Daniel 12:1-3; Philippians 3:8-10; Romans 1:17; Galatians 6:9; 1 Corinthians 16:13-14; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-24; Matthew 9:28; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Psalm 115:1; Ephesians 3:14-21)

Quote by Bruce Coleman: "Build on the unchangeable truth."

Trust the Lord

117 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord. Psalm 117 (KJV)

The Morning Exhortation

Life is a poka-yoke so easy a child can do it. God, in His infinite wisdom, hasn’t created a million different ways, but only one way. Nor does that one way require a Samson-like strength to do it, but it is easily obtainable by all who are willing. Such is the goodness of God toward us that the way is straight, and the key to obtain this everlasting life is faith in Jesus Christ. Build on the unchangeable truth. (Matthew 7:13-27; Hebrews 13:8; Matthew 23:37, 11:28-30, 18:3; Isaiah 55:1-3; John 7:37-38; John 17:3; Mark 4:26-29; Galatians 6:9; Revelation 22:17; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
