The Man with the Palsy | Deeds vs. Declarations: How do you see your brother?
What will we do to help those in need? If the society is in decay, what will you do to stop it? The world grows darker only when our (believers) lights grow dimmer.

Righteousness is not proven by what you don’t do; it is not proven by what laws you don’t break. Righteousness IS proven by what you DO!!!
Chosen by God, Obedient by Choice
Each and every believer has been chosen by God to do SPECIFIC work in His Kingdom, here on earth… God’s blueprint for your life is there but you will only find it if you are willing to seek it out. And, you will only seek it out if you really want to serve Him.
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats: “Do I value others enough to put their needs above mine?”
Love is neither theoretical nor abstract. The lover pays a price to love the loved. Jesus gave His life and thereby proved His love for us. He didn’t, and indeed couldn’t, just stay in Heaven and wish us into salvation; a price had to be paid. We too must be willing to pay any price to love our brethren…
The Parable of the Talents: “We are NOT saved by works, BUT we are saved to do works”
Salvation is NOT gained by works.. But works testify that salvation HAS taken place… “Faith without works is dead”.
Measuring Up.
To measure up, we must exercise all the faith God has given us. If you have been given the faith to move mountains, then move them around… If you have the faith to sweep the church, don’t settle for sweeping a pew. If you have the faith to witness to many, don’t settle for telling a few… God expects us to… attain our full faith potential.
The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins: “Salvation must be everything or it does nothing”
If Salvation is to achieve its work in us, then it must be everything to us.
Encounters with Jesus: The Widow’s Mite… “Only Faith enables us to give until we have nothing left.”
We are never too poor to give… We are never too impoverished to help someone else.
The Parable of the Two Sons: “It’s not how you start… It’s how you finish!”
It’s not what you SAY, It’s what you DO.
It’s not how you START, It’s how you FINISH.
It’s not who you ARE, It’s who you can BECOME.
God has a JOB for you… and you didn’t even earn it.
None of us earn the right to be used by God in any way. God chooses the job He wants us to do based solely on the plan he ordained for us BEFORE we were born, not on any humanly obtained qualifications.
