Eternal Things

The Lord Will Raise Us Up

"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed . . . . .
knowing that He who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus
and will present us with you . . .
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.
For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,
while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal,
but the things which are not seen are eternal.
{2 Corinthians 4:8, 9, 14, 16-18}.

Amazing Grace,

how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me,

I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see.

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fear relieved.

How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. Join us at the MGC Amazing_Grace Site for more....

Comfort And Encouragement Against Suffering

How many of us find ourselves suffering on a daily basis because we are Christians? Suffering not at the hands of others, but by trials brought on by things happening in life.

How many times do you feel insulted because you reverence the name of Christ and find yourself ridiculed and put down verbally?

How many times have others tried to make you feel ashamed of being Christian? If some of the above or all of the above are your experiences, you need to embrace the Word of God given through the Apostle Peter in regards to "Suffering For Being Christian."
1st Peter 4:12-19

12) Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:

13) But rejoice, inasmuch as you are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, you may be glad also with exceeding joy.

14) If you be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you; on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.

15) But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evil doer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.

16) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

17) For the time is come that judgement must begin at the House of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

18) And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

19) Wherefore, let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

PRAYER

Matt. 5:1,2
1.) Now when He (Jesus) saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain side and sat down. His disciples cam to Him.

2.) And He began to teach them, saying:
Matt 6:5 "But when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.

Matt 6:6 When you pray, go into your room, and pray to your Father, who is unseen.
Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matt 6:7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.

Matt. 6:8 Do not be like them (pagans), for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

Matt. 6:9-14
9.) This is how you should pray:
"Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be Your name,

10.) Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

11.) Give us today our daily bread.

12.) Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13.) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever.

Amen.

14.) For if you forgive men when they sin against you, Your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

T'was The Night Before Christ mas

It was the night before Christmas and all over the world, mankind knowingly and unknowingly awaited the birth of the Savior who would be the namesake for the most important event to ever occur, Christmas.
The birth of Jesus was the most ochestrated event that has ever happened.
A virgin was chosen by God to be Jesus' mother.
A man named Joseph was chosen to be his earthly father.
The name Jesus was given to Joseph by an angel.
Jesus was predestined to "save His people from their sins."
Roughly 760 years before His birth, the prophet Isaiah prophesized the birth of Jesus and identified Him as Immanuel (God with us).
Isaiah even foretold Jesus' diet and His disposition.
Following the miraculous birth of Jesus, the world system moved into high gear in an attempt to destroy Him.
King Herod tried to kill Him through infant genocide.
Satan, the devil, tried to destroy Jesus through temptation.
The disciples of John the Baptist who had served as messengers announcing the coming of Jesus questioned His choice of company and the lack of orthodoxed conformity of His disciples because they did not fast.
The birth of Jesus introduced much into the world that had never existed before. The world became blessed with:
An immaculate conception; Satan appearing and being defeated; devine healing; Beatitudes; preaching; disciples; missionary work; parables; death, burial, and resurrection; and of course, salvation.
Twas the night before Christmas, the last night that the world would live in hopeless sin.

Amen.
