Are We Really Ready?

Throughout the Old and New Testaments, the first and most important law or rule is about our relationship with God. Are we putting God first? Let's get the distractions out of the way and get closer to Him.

Paul and Silas were misunderstood and got beaten and thrown into jail. They were not griping and complaining, they were praising God. Lets remember that this kind of praise moves God.

Nicodemus was a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin. He was in the educated elite but he was seeking the truth. He recognized Jesus as a great teacher who came from God.

When we become saved, we acquire a responsibility. What are we going to do with the resources that we have been given? Lets get busy and make sure before its too late.

There seems to be more dark behavior lately. When we try to reach out to people, we may be challenged or even attacked. Lets look at some scripture and ideas to help combat this.

I thought by explaining some of the Greek words and remembering John's experiences with Jesus, we could get a clearer picture of his message to this group. Let's abide in the Light. Lets walk in fellowship with God and realize that we have Jesus as our advocate to make us right with God.
