JESUS LOVES YOU
Matthew 6:25-26 KJV
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

The Holy Bible Says...
I Corinthians 15:3-11 ESV
“For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.”
As Well As:
John 3:1-7 ESV
“Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one can do these signs that you do unless God is with him.” Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Nicodemus said to him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’”
And:
John 3:16-21 ESV
““For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.””
A NEW SCRIPTURE UPDATED DAILY MONDAY - FRIDAY
1.
Matthew 23:1-39 ESV “Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen by others. For they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long, and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces and being called rabbi by others. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel! “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but within are full of dead people’s bones and all uncleanness. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but within you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the monuments of the righteous, saying, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers. You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’””
2.
James 1:25-27 ESV “But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”
Scripture Zone
Dear Freind,
I have a simple question for you. Have you ever thought about why we have a natural hunger and thirst for almost everything under the sun but not for the Word of God Almighty? We are filled with so many questions about who we are, why we are here and where we are going! We are, all too often, so excited look into every tasty philosophy available to find the answers but not into the faithful word of our faithful creator.
Well friend, please allow me to poke that bear for a moment, if you will. Might I suggest to you that the primary reason for this is our natural inability to initially understand the Truth contained therein. The Truth that has been hidden in the wide open since nearly the beginning of time. The Lord God Almighty has not withheld all the information that we desire but moreover, the enemy of our souls has blinded our eyes since the fall in the garden when Satan first suggested that God was withholding something necessary from Adam and Eve. Looking for a weak spot, Satan's cunning approach was to ask Eve, "Has God really said". If that were not sufficient in itself, Satan, then coupled the question with a lie. This is how it went down...
“Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.” Genesis 3:1-6 ESV
They were already created in the image of God friends ...

““Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
Matthew 7:7-8 ESV
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1 ESV
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17 ESV
“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,”
Ephesians 2:8 ESV
“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 ESV

A RELATIONSHIP,

************************************* OPPORTUNITY ZONE JESUS ************************************* (The abundant life! The good, the bad, the ugly, or indifferent. Where every circumstance is an OPPORTUNITY for change. Nothing wasted. Everything made useful and profitable from here to eternity, when you belong to Christ Jesus) I have often been very compelled to appeal to those who claim frustration and anger toward God Almighty and His Church or what you may prefer to call “organized religion” ... What you may not realize is that God Almighty has already given us this information about “organized religion” in His Word. Your observation and disgust of mere religious figures, (men or women) living contrary to God's own Word will by no means justify or save YOU. This very Word of God that has the power to set men free from the tyranny of “organized religion” you might always refuse to look into. However, it clearly explains that God Himself is not impressed at all with “organized religion” either. God, Himself, will one day judge and condemn “organized religion”, or better known to true Christians as false religion, and it’s fall will be great and terrible. Personally, I can understand where you are coming from but, regardless, you are rebelling against God Almighty from a broken argument. By no means, can it or will it please God when you meet Him face to face and attempt to plead your case for rejecting Him, because of their foolish behavior. You will answer for your own sin only. Most all of Holy scripture is very clear about this. You are on sinking sand, and you will perish as your very own mouth will condemn you. There is no activity of men, under the sun, that will change the unchanging character of God Almighty. Believe it or not, Christian and rebel alike will give an account for every thought and deed done in the body. Consider this… 1 Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:1-4 NKJV Did you know this?? The Apostle Paul shared the following… 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10 NKJV You who judge God on the merits and the behavior of mere men and women, are you not aware of this? Are Christians not aware of these things as well?? Are we not aware of the following as well?? LORD FORBID… The Apostle Paul also shared this... 9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences. II Corinthians 5:9-11 NKJV Yes, even those who belong to Christ must all appear to give account of their works and deeds. However, the conclusion for the rebel, eternal damnation. For the Christian... there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus!! Romans 8:1 Jesus Himself confronted the "organized church" while he was among us as an example of how God feels about "organized religion". See what the Bible says here ... 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19-20 NKJV Or do you not know that Jesus did the following in the face of "organized religion" according to the Holy Word of God?? 12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ” Matthew 21:12-13 NKJV So I urge you, I beg every one of you who might judge God Almighty unable to credit to your account the righteousness, and faith of His Son, by belief in His name, to abandon your weak arguments that are unable to save your souls and turn to Jesus and His righteousness and be saved! No matter what any person might say or do. Consider this if you will. The Bible Says... 12 For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. II Corinthians 10:12 NKJV ************************************* OPPORTUNITY ALERT ************************************* Look, here's the real deal and the reality of LIFE! Every human being has been deemed unprofitable to their creator, by the only wise creator Himself. (Luke 17:10) We have all been condemned to hell fire and destruction unless there is an intervention OPPORTUNITY from the living God. We are all together useless to a Holy God!! Our inevitable fate has been determined! So, why are we are still breathing, and the cycle of life and death continues. How can this be???? It is because we have been given the GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY of a lifetime to be saved by the sure death, burial and resurrection victory of the Lord Jesus the Christ. The righteousness one! It is He alone who came in the flesh and sinned not! He and He alone has fulfilled the law that we would not and could not. So, what is the end result?? We can now have a living RELATIONSHIP with God Almighty, instead of “organized religion”. Our sinful deeds can be forgiven. The Christian, the one who has been born again from above, through faith in the only begotten Son of God will by no means perish when they give their account. And the promises of God communicated by the Gospel of salvation will stand for eternity. IMMUTABLE! Surely you must know this, you who may judge God by the behaviors of mere mortals. Jesus spoke to the Father in our hearing. He said the following… 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:13-17 NKJV So, you can see clearly, even those who belong to God are not yet perfect but have entered into a divine process. They are undergoing reconstruction. Sanctification. Change has come and all things have become new for them. The Word of God says… 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV For those who belong Jesus, their pitch and attitude have been divinely re-adjusted to onwards and upwards. The evidence of the inward work of God is outwardly manifested in them continually. So, what will YOU do?? I beg you to consider giving yourself completely to Christ and become a fellow partaker of His divine nature! Abandon your sinking ships and broken arguments. Get on board with Jesus! Let the dead bury the dead!! Shed the damage of any and all spiritual abuse you may have suffered at the hands of unjust and very religious men and women. Let God be the truth and every man a liar. Join yourself to the only one who loves you! The only one who wants to have an intimate and loving relationship with YOU personally. The only one who will never leave, nor forsake you. He, who does not load you with unbearable burdens but gives you rest for your souls. Whatever you do... Choose Wisely Choose Bravely Choose Life CHOOSE JESUS! 👊😁

Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’ And the servant said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel people to come in, that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste my banquet.’”” Luke 14:16-24 ESV
