SCRIP-BITS

For Christians, Jesus is our end all and be all. We don't need anybody but Him, for He can provide ALL our needs. But you will never know that until you decide to put your complete trust in Him. Unfortunately, like almost everything in this world, you can't know a thing properly unless you experience it. The same goes for Jesus, who said that if we seek first and foremost the kingdom of Go...

Oh friends, if we don't sincerely and actively seek God with our whole hearts and minds we will never find Him. Now, He is always around, but waiting on you to call out to him with a humble and repentant heart. That's how He gets involved in our problems. Having given us free will, He won't intrude in our lives unless we invite Him in. So if we need help, in any area of our lives, it&#...

Oh friends, life is tough, but when you live it the way that Jesus desires, you experience a different set of parameters. He will make a way for you where there seems to be no way, and He will look after you through His Holy Spirit that dwells within you. Now, that doesn't mean life will be a bed of roses, but it might be much easier than if you lived it without Him, for the worst day with Jes...

Our great and wonderful God has given us all the tools we need for successful living, including His Word and our sins paid for in full by the sacrifice of His Son Jesus on the cross of Calvary. However, they won't automatically come to fruition. No, we need to actively use those tools and cultivate the good life that was destined for us. And once we've heard the Word of God and know what n...

We all talk a good talk about our faith, but in reality that faith is not worth much unless there are works to back it up. That's the essence of Christianity; faith accompanied by good works. Jesus set the example for us by coming to earth and being a servant, meaning that we should also take on the form of a servant when and if necessary. There is nothing too low for us to do, if we are true...

Our world has sadly become such a talkative and angry place that few of us have time to listen anymore. But it's imperative as children of God, as believers in Christ Jesus that we talk and get angry less, listen more, and do the things that we talk about. Many of us spout the scriptures but don't put them into practice. But what's the use of talking and not doing eh? None whatsoever!...

All mankind has sinned and come short of God's glory, and thus headed straight for hellfire and eternal separation from God. But the Father did not want to lose any of His most precious creation, so He devised the marvellous plan to save us. That's why we needed a Saviour like Jesus, to sacrifice His sinless life and pay for all of our sins. So instead of being automatically hellbound, and...

Without the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus the Christian church as we know it would never have existed. That means He is the foundation on which it was created and built upon. We all know the importance of the foundation of anything at all. If that foundation is not strong and solid, whatever is built on it will not last long. That's why Jesus spoke about building our lives on the soli...

Satan is the ruler of this evil world, and he wants us all to suffer eternal death and destruction with Him by disobeying the laws of Jehovah God. But that's not wisdom, or even common sense, for why choose to die, when we can choose to live eternally eh? Living for now and the glitzy facades that Satan shows us is the wisdom of fools, for all that glamourous and flashy way of life, along with...

Our world cannot bear much more of the evil that's weighing it down, else it will just slide down into the mire of death and damnation. And the only way to turn it around is by believers in Christ doing the things we know we should do. That's living sincerely for Jesus and teaching others about Him. It's our bounden duty, and currently we're not doing a very good job of it, because...

Our world is going down the road to hellfire and damnation, to eventual destruction, with all the evil and ungodliness that's so pervasive and prevalent in it right now. And whether we like it or not, Christian believers are the only ones who have the wherewithal to change the destiny of our troubled and dangerous world. But we have to wake up asap and begin making the necessary changes, first...

There's a lot of tough slogging down here on earth, and if you're living for Jesus, it sometimes even gets tougher. But we need to remember that Jesus will never leave nor forsake us, so even when we feel like we've reached our limit, we need to persevere, just like He did. It wasn't easy for Him either, but He placed the joy of sitting at the Father's right hand above the pain...

Our world is in sad upheaval both from natural disasters as well as from man-made ones, and we cannot allow that unfortunate state of affairs to continue for much longer, otherwise it's going to blow up in our faces. Hate, anger and war-like intentions eventually bring destruction to those who participate in them. Is that what Christ sacrificed His sinless life to see happen here on earth? Obv...

Our world is currently in a state of disunity, with strife and every evil work reigning supreme, but that can only lead to total disaster, especially with the race on to build even bigger and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The only way to solve that problem sensibly is for us to begin living in harmony, to turn from our evil ways and turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, wh...

Our world is in dire straits, overrun by evil and ungodliness, and unless the believers in Christ wake up, join together and do something positive about it, we will all end up in the depths of Hades, eternally separated from the Lord. Now that's not a nice position to be in, in fact, it's the worst situation a human soul can ever find itself in. So please, let's realize that we're...

Ah friends, our world is certainly in topsy turvy mode these days, and consequently there are all kinds of lies, deceits and falsehood out there, just waiting to entrap us. That means we have to be very careful about whom and what we listen to. and because of all the turmoil and upheaval in our society, everybody is searching for some kind of truth, to help them understand what's happening. Bu...

None of us like to be corrected, but ofttimes we need to be, otherwise we can cause serious trouble. And just like we are supposed to correct our children, the same way the Lord corrects us when we do wrong. It's not because He wants to hurt us, but because He LOVES us. We do the same with our children; correct them because we LOVE them. So why should it be any different with the Lord? We are...

We all talk about faith, and many of us behave like we're so faithful to the precepts of Christ. But are really faithful to the precepts of Christ? Judging by the state of the church, the induvial lives of too many believers, and the evil and ungodly state of our world, it's hard to answer yes to the question. Too many of us supposed believers are wrapped up in the affairs of the world, be...

We all love to complain about something or other, but too much complaining does us no good. That's why we need to keep complaining to a minimum. It will stir up all kinds of negative effects and misfortune in our lives if we use it as a tool to get our way. Like a boomerang, complaining always comes back to haunt the one who threw it. Complaining is a tool of the devil. So let's learn to s...

Oh friends, our current society is filled with complaints from one end to the other, for we've become a soft, and spineless people. We can't handle anything that comes against us, even if it's our doing. And the age of entitlement that's currently happening doesn't help matters either, since we feel we're all entitled to whatever we desire. Granted, some of our complaints a...

We can all talk a good talk, but walking that talk is always much more difficult. And, unfortunately, that's the problem so many of us believers face in trying to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world, that Jesus said we were, or should be. But if we truly believe in Jesus, and His Holy Spirit that indwells us, then we will know that we can do anything He desires of us. But too m...

A lot of people are running around right now, lost, confused and mentally challenged, and Jesus is depending on us to help them come to him. We are labourers in Jesus' spiritual harvest, but there just aren't enough of us to go around. However, those of us who are still able, ought to be reaping a harvest from the great throng of unbelievers currently populating our world. Please, for a ch...

Living for and with Jesus is a must if we ever hope to live the good and abundant life, because the devil is always walking around trying to tempt us into sin and evil doing, and only through the triumphant word of Jesus can we keep him at bay. The devil is a liar and a cheat, and his only purpose is to turn us away from Almighty God and become lost and eternally separated from Him, and headed for...

Our world is filled with sin, darkness and evil, the traits and habits of Satan, and if we are to get out of them, we need to call on Almighty God for help! Why? Because He is the ONLY ONE , with the power and willingness to get us out of the dangerous and evil clutches of his satanic majesty! Only when we seek God with a true and sincere heart can, or will we be set free, saved from the evil mire...

To be a true disciple of Jesus, He must be both our Saviour and our Lord. That means completely giving over our lives to Him, in full surrender, and following Him in whatever capacity He desires of us. It's not easy, and takes a lot of self-sacrifice, but it's certainly worthwhile because of the many wonderful things He does for and through us as we walk confidently and sincerely with Him....
