What shall it profit


Don't kid yourself! Money CAN buy;
Diamonds, but NOT love!
Houses, but NOT homes!
F...arms, but NOT families!
Holidays, but NOT happiness!
Pleasure, but NOT Satisfaction!
Possessions, but NOT peace!
Judas spent a great amount of his time with the Lord Jesus Christ even seeing first hand the wonderful things Our Lord said and done, yet he did not believe thus he followed his own self-centered desires causing him to betray the sinless Son of God for a mere 30 pieces of silver!
The bible says, "What shall it profit a person if they shall gain the whole world and LOSE their own soul?" (Mark 8:36) the answer is NOTHING!
Countries like ours are filled with people who have all the material comforts they could desire, together with none material things such as families and friends, yet they experience an empty feeling, a void inside them which no matter what they do or get is never filled or satisfied. This void or vacuum is a God shaped one, and a person will never be truly content or at peace until they know and experience Him and His Spirit of love and truth in themselves!!
We cannot be filled with the love of God until we deal with our issue of SIN.
Our sins have separated us (Isaiah 59 :2) from our creator and every attempt to receive satisfaction an peace while ignoring our problem of sin will fail, but while we were still sinners Christ died for us (Romans 5: 8) and if we turn away from our sins and place our trust in the sinless lamb of God <JESUS>< believing that He paid the debt we could not pay we will receive forgiveness of sins, eternal life and the peace that passes all understanding!!!
Jesus said, "Truly, truly, i say unto you, he that believeth on me has everlasting life (John 6: 47)

Honoring God in the home

Evening Devotional Reading May 23, 2016 From That I May Know Him Honoring God in the Home      Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3:16. {TMK 149.1}      This is what we need in our households. There is in it no fault-finding, no harshness; but peace, and joy, and rest in the Lord. . . . God calls for loving service. He calls upon parents to speak lovingly and tenderly to their children. Let them see that you think they help you. Give them responsibilities to bear, small ones at first, and larger ones as they grow older. Never, never, let them hear you say of them, "They hinder me more than they help me.". . .  {TMK 149.2}      How many there are who forget that the home is a school in which children are trained to work either for Christ or Satan. Fathers and mothers, reme...

God Is With Me !

God Is With Me! Let me tell you something of my friend, And as I do, perhaps all of you will recognize The value of my prize. For all my worldly wealth, My physical and mental health, In storm or weather fair Depends upon His care. I've learned each day, to choose the way, To loose my fears, And though troubles press, With sore distress upon my soul, I know somehow that He is with me now And will be through the passing years. Yes - He is with me Even though in thought I've often caught myself So far away from Him- And even though I sometimes join the race- Away from his Amazing Grace, I always turn around to find He's there, Behind my fleeing foot, To put His hand upon my heart To draw me back To live with Him - Apart. He is with me, Especially when my other friends misunderstand The methods that I use, Or when they refuse to see That He and I are friends, Working silently to make 'not' brake the strongholds of the faith.
