God’s Laser

GOD words is two edged sword……….

“Sharper than any double-edged sword.”  Heb 4:12

God’s Laser 

Does reading the Bible sometimes make you uneasy? Does the sermon feel like it’s directed at you? “The word of God is…Sharper than any double-edged sword…it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit…Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered…before…him to whom we must give account” (Heb 4: 12-13). When it comes to judging our motives, Jesus, the Great Physician, can determine with laser precision the difference between what’s healthy in our lives and what needs to be removed. 

Author Jon Walker writes: “A cyst developed under the skin of my right hand…and since I was a journalist I had to do something about it. The procedure was delicate, requiring the surgeon to cut at just the right point…He was confident he could do it …but I was nervous…He did an excellent job and the only reminder I have is a slight scar …The Word of God is as delicate and precise as a surgeon skillfully removing a cyst from cartilage…He operates with perfection…slices away bad attitudes, thoughts, motives, and actions ‘laying us open to listen and obey’”. When God speaks to you it’s for a purpose—to bring your life into conformity to Christ. And your response should always be, “Search me, O God, and know my heart” (Ps 139:23). Let the Word of God highlight the areas in your life that need work. Don’t run from the process; remember when “God steps in and corrects you…he wounds, but he also dresses the wound; the same hand that hurts you, heals you” (Job 5:17-18 TM).

God’s undeserved kindness to you

If we see our past, none of us deserve the salvation, out of his magnificent kindness he has saved us and He has hand picked us. ‘I will surely show you kindness.’ 2 Samuel 9:7 In Bible times, when a new king ascended to the throne, he commonly killed or banished each and every member of the historical king’s family. So, here’s the story. Jonathan, King Saul’s son, and David, whom Saul hated, have been shut friends. So close, they made a covenant to guard one every other with their lives. After Jonathan and Saul died in battle, Jonathan had one last son known as Mephibosheth. So, David had him delivered to the palace, saying, ‘I will sincerely exhibit you kindness for the sake of your father Jonathan. I will repair to you all the land that belonged to your grandfather Saul, and you will constantly consume at my table.’ Mephibosheth used to be dwelling in Lo Debar, which skill ‘the land of nothing…the region of no bread’ (see two Samuel 9:4-5). That’s significant, due to the fact when y...

God doesn't call the equipped…He equips the called

God doesn't call the equipped…He equips the called He equips the called. Let’s look at this throughout Scripture. If you've been in the church for more any amount of time, you've probably heard a lot of the “big names” in the Bible—people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Noah, Peter, Paul, Elijah—the guys who did big, amazing things for the Lord. Moses was there at the parting of the Red Sea. Abraham was willing to sacrifice his own son to obey God. Elijah fought against over 400 prophets of the idol Baal. Moses led God’s people out of slavery. And Paul was one of the greatest evangelists to ever walk the planet. But have you ever looked at the list of their failures? Despite their failures, God managed to use each of them in incredible ways! And the best part was, it wasn't them doing the work! It was Christ’s power in them! On our own we cannot accomplish anything. But Christ can do anything! Check out these  powerful vers...

The difference between Samson and Samuel

Everyone has a choice....to become Samson or Samuel!! ‘Time would fail me to tell of…Samson…and Samuel.’ Hebrews 11:32  Samson and Samuel are mentioned in the same Scripture, but there are big differences between them. You ask, ‘Why should I be interested?’ Because as a Christian, you are like them. Each had a miraculous birth, so they’re a picture of those who’ve been born again and called to serve God. Paul writes, ‘These things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition…Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall’ 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 . Difference one: Finances. Samson was greedy and manipulating, whereas Samuel practised integrity. One day Samson bet thirty Philistine princes that they couldn’t solve his riddle, saying, ‘If you cannot explain it to me, then you shall give me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing’ Judges 14:13. Quite a wardrobe, eh? Samson’s emphasis was ‘you shall give me’. He’s an exampl...
