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- Job

Let's take some time today to observe a man that represents what we should act like as Christians. His name is Job and you can read his full story in the Old Testament but I'll give you a brief overview. The book of Job opens up to a scene from God's court. The sons of God had come to present themselves and among them was Satan. God couldn't help but boast about his number one servant Job. Satan laughed and pointed out that, like all men, Job would only love God as long as his life was good. Does this sound like a challenge to you because it did to God. He promptly gave Satan permission to do whatever he wished to Job as long as he did not harm him. Job was considered rich in those days because he had livestock. In Job 1:13-19, Satan strikes and Job loses everything including all of his animals and children. The only things left in his world were his house and his wife, yet he didn't respond the way most people would. In fact, his response is truly baffling but...
