Thursday's Thoughts- 1 John Chapter Four

1 John Chapter Four

1-6. False prophets will be everywhere in the last days, but how will we know that they are false? If we know Jesus and read his Word every day, we will be so close to Him that we can easily identify false prophets because they will not follow God's word. They will say and do questionable things that contrast with the Bible.

7-21. 1 John talks more about love than any other book in the New Testament. Why is this? Because God loves us, and we are to love others with His love. Through love, we can bring the world to Christ. Loving Christ is the same as knowing Him and those who do not love Christ might as well not know Him. We know that God loves us because he sent his only son to die for us so that we can live with Him forever. If God loved us enough to sacrifice his son for us, we ought to be willing to sacrifice our time to show the world that love. Our love for God will result in our dwelling with Him in eternity. Because we know that God loves us and will not us be harmed, we can live without fear.

Winter Wonderland

This past weekend the weather decided it was about time that Arkansas had some snow. When it snows there's only one thing to do, go outside and take pictures! What you got there? I'd like some range cubes please. Make sure you get my good side. Oh yeah, there you go. Now, where is my food? Mom and Jacob think this looks like Mater from Cars. My baby is getting special treatment in the form of her own bucket of range cubes. Little Caffie is hunkered down and trying to stay warm. I'm not sure she likes this weather anymore than I do. My boy looks so pretty in the snow. You got that food yet? I'm STARVING. I love trees with snow on them. The world is white And at the end of a long cold day I get some Daisy snuggles. They are the best when it's cold outside. She is forever my baby. Snow is not my favorite because it's cold and it makes chores harder to do, but everything does look prettier.

Thursday's Thoughts- Would You Stand?

Would You Stand? I have a very important question for you. Would you stand? This sounds like a simple inquiry, but it just may prove to be one of the most difficult ones you will ever be asked. What if you are sitting in church Sunday morning and suddenly masked men burst through the door holding rifles? Imagine that the leader announces that anyone who doesn't deny Christ will be shot. Maybe half the church chooses to denounce God and leave, but will you? Will the threat of death turn you away from your faith? Let me tell you about three men in the Bible who let absolutely nothing get in the way of their faith. Travel back to the Old Testament with me and see a man who set his faith in God. His name was Noah. God told Noah to build an ark because He was going to send rain to flood the whole earth. Any other man would have laughed because, up until that time, it had never rained before, but Noah and his sons got right to work. For years they labored while their friends and ne
