Harvest Selah

Our world is filled with hackers, imposters, counterfeiters, and frauds of all kinds. What we desperately long for is Authenticity. Authentic Christians following the Authentic Savior and leading people into Authentic Faith.  

This is IMPOSSIBLE: You Cannot Love God and Love the *World. "The World" is the organized system headed by Satan that leaves God out and is a rival to Him. God wants us to love him and then to love the people made in his image that populate this world. We’re going to need his help.

Only the Living God can truly rescue and save and our culture and kids are in need of rescue. Ask the King of Heaven to push back the darkness preying on our kids through social media and the internet. We need to experience the Favor of Heaven in this important battle.

The Apostle John wants New Believers (Little Children), Adolescent Believers (Young Men), and Mature Believers (Fathers) to Grow and make Progress in their faith. We are called to walk the same way Jesus walked - Yes, Love is his signature.

God is Light and in him is no darkness at all. The Living God wants his people, his children, his followers - to be people who walk and live in the light. Shady attitudes, words, and actions have no place in the life of a believer in Jesus. Lord, help us to live in the light!

Once Upon A Time is how many of our popular fairytales begin, but fairytales can never truly deliver the "happily ever after” that our hearts long for. A REAL relationship with Jesus the Savior is what we were made for. You are invited to investigate and experience Jesus.

We all need people to pray for us. When we ask for prayer, we need to be specific in our prayer requests and to prioritize God and his plans ahead of our own. Remember: Jesus is Greater than the enemy, his love is amazing and he never fails. Amen & Amen.

This amazing passage is packed with theological richness and practical wisdom. God the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit receive ALL the Praise regarding our salvation. From a practical standpoint, we are called upon the stand firm and hold on to the teaching we have received. Finally, we are prayed for and need all the support we can get.

People are gripped by anxiety regarding current-day events. People can also get stressed about the future and what will happen and when it will happen. This truth brings both calm and confidence to Christians around the world, “Jesus is Triumphant”!

As followers of Christ we eagerly await His Kingdom coming to bear on the world around us, while recognizing its current presence and its effects on our daily lives. We live for His Kingdom now, creating in us a fitness for his Kingdom forever.

This follow-up letter is a huge dose of encouragement. In these opening verses, we learn that God is Praised when we grow in our Faith, Increase in our Love, and Endure through difficulty. Rest in God’s Grace and Peace!

The Truth that Saves Us must be the First Priority. That Truth has three elements to it: Jesus died for our sins, he was buried and after three days, he rose again according to the scriptures.  

Many have given Jesus and the Resurrection a quick glance. Some have observed the evidence, but have not crossed into saving faith. Then, there are those who have viewed and understood that Jesus lived, died, and rose again… this is where Life is found!

The Triumphal Entry of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey was the “Official Reveal” of him as the long-awaited King of Israel. His identity and agenda cannot be hidden. Celebrate Jesus today and allow him to reign in your life.

A registered letter from the Apostle Paul arrived with encouragement for the church family at Thessalonica. The letter addresses how to honor church leaders and then how the entire church is to live in step with the Holy Spirit.  

Christians are not to live with fear, stress, and anxiety regarding the judgment which is coming into the world against sin. We are children of the light and children of the day. Let us reject sin (darkness) and live as beacons of the light in this broken world.

Jesus has given us one job as His followers - to love more.

God is serious about wanting us (his people) to learn, grow and mature in our faith. He wants us to separate from sin and be set apart for his good plans. Honoring God with our sexuality is a significant step in our sanctification.  

Every Church(TEAM) of Christ-followers needs good and Godly leadership (Coaching). We Need care, instruction, and prayer to know how to live for the Savior in this broken world. Find some Godly coaches today!

One of the Five Love Languages is Words of Affirmation. Giving and Receiving Words that compliment and build up. The Living Word (Jesus) and the Written Word (the Bible) have Words of Affirmation that we need to hear.

Like a prize-winning boxer, Christ-followers are going to need someone “in our corner.” Christians need the Savior, and they need other believers who will care for them and encourage them in the fight.  

The early Christians in the city of Thessalonica had a powerful reputation based on God’s mighty work in their lives. In the same way, we are meant to have a powerful reputation as the Holy Spirit continues his work in us and through us. 

The Gospel Seed is being planted around the world. When the Good News is shared… there will be a Harvest! The proof is found in the church thriving in hostile environments around the globe. The church is meant to Thrive!

God’s Plan to change the world requires God’s Power! The promised Holy Spirit gives every believer the power to accomplish what God wants to do in them and through them.

One day, Jesus will make everything NEW in this world. He will need to undo many things we call “normal,” like tears, death, mourning, and pain. As we look forward to “that day,” we can rest in the fact that he can begin his reNEWal plan in us this year.
