CHRIST THE DOOR OF SALVATION - Subscribe
|
|
Scripture: "I am the door, if anyone enters through Me he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture." (John 10:11) Reflection: Christ is the Good Shepherd. He is the door you must open, in order to receive salvation. I love the following analogy: Jesus has a door knob on His heart, all you have to do is open it for salvation. There is no door knob on your heart, and Jesus is knocking, you have to open the door to your heart to let Jesus in. Salvation means there is more than this life. Salvation means there is a future, and eternal future. Salvation means to be with Jesus forever. Salvation means to never be separated from God. Salvation gives me a reason to live, a reason to continue, a reason to love, to care, to exist. Open now that door to your heart, let Jesus in, receive SALVATION!!!!!!!!!! Prayer: Thank you God for my salvation. Thank you that I will be with You Forever. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD. |

Here is a prayer for the New Year by Edgar A. Guest. I thought you might enjoy it. Have a happy and Christ filled New Year. Prayer for the New Year Grant me the strength from day to day To bear what burdens come my way. Grant me throughout this bright New Year More to endure and less to fear. Help me live that I may be From spite and petty malice free. Let me not bitterly complain When cherished hopes of mine prove vain, Or spoil with deeds of hate and rage Some fair tomorrow's spotless page. Lord, as the days shall come and go In courage let me stronger grow. Lord, as the New Year dawns today Help me to put my faults away. Let me be big in little things; Grant me the joy which friendship brings. Keep me from selfishness and spite; Let me be wise in what is right. A happy New Year! Grant that I May bring no tear to any eye. When this New Year in time shall end Let it be said I've played the friend, Have lived and loved and labored here, And made of it a happy year. - Edgar A.

Scripture: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. I t straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right". (2 Timothy 3:16) (NLT) Reflection: I want you to notice that the Scripture verse does not say Rev. Kim Olson is inspired by God, it says All Scripture is inspired by God. I am not perfect, The Holy Scriptures are. I do not speak for God, I only speak as His loyal servant. Some of my future Reflections you will surely disagree with, this is good. Some will be angered, some will agree, and some will get disgusted and quite reading my blog. Please always keep this in mind, my interpretation of the Scriptures is my interpretation, not anyone else's. But always remember that my interpretation is based on Scripture no other book. I am a Christian first, a theologian second. I hope you enjoy my future blogs and when you disagree with me, which you will, base your interpretation on the Scripture. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU, AT THIS VERY MOMENT YOU ARE BEING LOVED BY GOD Pastor Kim |

The Golden Rule (part one) 1/12/2007 07:24 - Subscribe

Scripture: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31). Reflection: Boy there is a rule to live by. There are 2 very important components to the rule. These Components are very important to us as Christians. The first one is to love your neighbor. Who is my neighbor? The family that lives on the right side of me, the man who lives on the left side of me, the people that work with me, my brothers and sisters in church, the people who I meet shopping, the city 2 miles away, all the folks who live in the state to the north, south, east, and west, Canada, Mexico, yes even Cuba, Russia, China, Bosnia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, in other words everyone is my neighbor, all human kind are my brother and sisters. The 2nd component is to love them as myself. God loved me so much that He created me in His own image. The very least I can do is to love His creation, including me. I guess what it comes down to is to love everyone. Jesus even included my neighbors who are my enemies, I even love them. Prayer: 'Thank you Jesus for Love!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD |

Golden Rule (part two) 1/23/2007 08:42 - Subscribe

Scripture: * Do to others what you would have them do to you (Matthew 7:12). Reflection: You know one of the basic desires of being human is to be treated right. Everybody that I know likes to be treated honestly, with compassion, and forgiveness by others. I know that I settle for nothing less. The problem of course is that not everybody treats me that way. This part of the golden rule, I was lucky enough to learn early in my life. It is a part of the rule that is so very important to my life. I discovered that if I want people to treat me with honesty, compassion and forgiveness, I needed to treat them with those same virtues. Thats right if I want to be treated right I have to treat others right. That makes sense to me. During a recent stay in the local hospital, I was treated like a king, I was treated with love and caring. The nurses were fantastic, there kindness was so obvious to me. When checking out, I told the head nurse about her nurses. You know what she said, "thats because you cared". Jesus cares too. Prayer: Jesus, thank you for all those who have showed their kindness and compassion to me, give me the spirit to return it. THANK YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD!!!!!!! |
