  • I believe

    e-Sword Jhn 14:12  

    “What I’m about to tell you is true. Anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing.

    In fact, he will do even greater things. That is because I am going to the Father

  • Marks of the True Christian

    Rom 12:9 Love must be honest and true. Hate what is evil. Hold on to what is good.


    Rom 12:10 Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves.


    Rom 12:11 Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord.


    Rom 12:12 When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful.


    Rom 12:13 Share with God’s people who are in need. Welcome others into your homes.


    Rom 12:14 Bless those who hurt you. Bless them, and do not call down curses on them.


    Rom 12:15 Be joyful with those who are joyful. Be sad with those who are sad.


    Rom 12:16 Agree with each other. Don’t be proud. Be willing to be a friend of people who aren’t considered important. Don’t think that you are better than others.


    Rom 12:17 Don’t pay back evil with evil. Be careful to do what everyone thinks is right.


    Rom 12:18 If possible, live in peace with everyone. Do that as much as you can.


    Rom 12:19 My friends, don’t try to get even. Leave room for God to show his anger. It is written, “I am the One who judges people. I will pay them back,” (Deuteronomy 32:35) says the Lord.


    Rom 12:20 Do just the opposite. Scripture says, “If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. By doing those things, you will pile up burning coals on their heads.” (Proverbs 25:21,22)


    Rom 12:21 Don’t let evil overcome you. Overcome evil by doing good

    Kennzeichen des wahren Christen


    Röm 12:9 Die Liebe muss ehrlich und wahrhaftig sein. Hasse das Böse. Haltet an dem fest, was gut ist.


    Röm 12:10 Liebt einander innig. Ehrt andere mehr als euch selbst.


    Röm 12:11 Laßt das Feuer in eurem Herzen nie erlöschen. Haltet es am Leben. Dient dem Herrn.


    Röm 12:12 Wenn ihr hofft, seid fröhlich. Wenn ihr leidet, seid geduldig. Wenn ihr betet, dann seid treu.


    Röm 12:13 Teilt mit dem Volk Gottes, das in Not ist. Nehmt andere in euer Haus auf.


    Röm 12:14 Segnet diejenigen, die euch schaden. Segnet sie, und verflucht sie nicht.


    Röm 12:15 Freut euch mit denen, die fröhlich sind. Seid traurig mit denen, die traurig sind.


    Röm 12:16 Seid miteinander einverstanden. Seid nicht hochmütig. Seid bereit, mit Menschen befreundet zu sein, die nicht als wichtig angesehen werden. Denkt nicht, daß ihr besser seid als andere.


    Röm 12:17 Vergeltet nicht Böses mit Bösem. Achte darauf, daß du das tust, was alle für richtig halten.


    Röm 12:18 Wenn möglich, lebe mit allen in Frieden. Das solltet ihr tun, so gut ihr könnt.


    Röm 12:19 Meine Freunde, versucht nicht, euch zu rächen. Laßt Gott Raum, um seinen Zorn zu zeigen. Es steht geschrieben: “Ich bin derjenige, der die Menschen richtet. Ich werde es ihnen heimzahlen” (Deuteronomium 32:35), sagt der Herr.


    Röm 12:20 Tun Sie genau das Gegenteil. Die Schrift sagt: “Wenn deine Feinde hungrig sind, gib ihnen zu essen. Wenn sie durstig sind, gib ihnen etwas zu trinken. Wenn du das tust, wirst du brennende Kohlen auf ihren Köpfen aufschütten.” (Sprüche 25:21,22)


    Röm 12:21 Lasst euch nicht vom Bösen überwinden. Überwinde das Böse, indem du Gutes tust

  • The Righteousness of God Through Faith

    Rom 3:21  But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.

    Rom 3:22  This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile,

    Rom 3:23  for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

    Rom 3:24  and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus

  • Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart

    Psa 139:1  For the director of music. A psalm of David. LORD, you have seen what is in my heart. You know all about me.

    Psa 139:2  You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I’m thinking even though you are far away.

    Psa 139:3  You know when I go out to work and when I come back home. You know exactly how I live.

    Psa 139:4  LORD, even before I speak a word, you know all about it.

    Psa 139:5  You are all around me. You are behind me and in front of me. You hold me in your power.

    Psa 139:6  I’m amazed at how well you know me. It’s more than I can understand.

    Psa 139:7  How can I get away from your Spirit? Where can I go to escape from you?

    Psa 139:8  If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the deepest parts of the earth, you are also there.

    Psa 139:9  Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east and then cross over to the west where it sinks into the ocean.

    Psa 139:10  Your hand would always be there to guide me. Your right hand would still be holding me close.

    Psa 139:11  Suppose I were to say, “I’m sure the darkness will hide me. The light around me will become as dark as night.”

    Psa 139:12  Even that darkness would not be dark to you. The night would shine like the day, because darkness is like light to you.

    Psa 139:13  You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother’s body.

    Psa 139:14  How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well.

    Psa 139:15  None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother’s body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth. When you were putting me together there,

    Psa 139:16  your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them.

    Psa 139:17  God, your thoughts about me are priceless. No one can possibly add them all up.

    Psa 139:18  If I could count them, they would be more than the grains of sand. If I were to fall asleep counting and then wake up, you would still be there with me.

    Psa 139:19  God, I wish you would kill the people who are evil! I wish those murderers would get away from me!

    Psa 139:20  They are your enemies. They misuse your name. They misuse it for their own evil purposes.

    Psa 139:21  LORD, I really hate those who hate you! I really hate those who rise up against you!

    Psa 139:22  I have nothing but hatred for them. I consider them to be my enemies.

    Psa 139:23  God, see what is in my heart. Know what is there. Put me to the test. Know what I’m thinking.

    Psa 139:24  See if there’s anything in my life you don’t like. Help me live in the way that is always right.

  • Wisdom Bestows Well-Being

    My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

    Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

    Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

    Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

    Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

    My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

    Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.
    She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
    Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her; those who hold her fast will be blessed.

    By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the watery depths were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.

    My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck.

    Then you will go on your way in safety,
    and your foot will not stumble. When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

    Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be at your side and will keep your foot from being snared.

    Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act.

    Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”when you already have it with you.

    Do not plot harm against your neighbor,
    who lives trustfully near you.

    Do not accuse anyone for no reason—
    whenWisdom Bestows Well-Being they have done you no harm.

    Do not envy the violent or choose any of their ways. For the LORD detests the perverse but takes the upright into his confidence.

    The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. He mocks proud mockers but shows favor to the humble and oppressed.

    The wise inherit honor, but fools get only shame

    Proverbs 3

  • DEVISION

    I would like to share this in three languages:

    Luke 11:17

    ENGLISH: “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.”
    ‭‭

    GERMAN: “Jesus kannte ihre Gedanken und sagte zu ihnen: “Ein Reich, das mit sich selbst uneins ist, wird zugrunde gehen, und ein Haus, das mit sich selbst uneins ist, wird fallen.”

    AFRIKAANS: “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.”

  • Back to Jesus

    These are the words of a song written by Thys Meades from South Africa. He wrote?

    Where I belong is at your feet praising you

    Where I belong is at your feet touching you

    Lord, I need only you

    Pour out your love on me again

    Bring me back to the place where I love the cross

    Bring me back to the place where I’m on my knees

    Bring me back to an undivided heart

    Jesus, bring me back to you.

    THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TODAY. COMING BACK TO JESUS.

    John Wimber said it many years ago. I believe Jesus still says the same words today: “I want my church back!”

  • Following Jesus

    Following Jesus is about:

    Living as he lived and still lives

    Doing the things he did and still does

    Forgive like he forgave and still forgives

    Love as he loved and still loves

    Proclaim the kingdom of God (kingdom of Heaven)

    Heal the sick

    Raise the dead

    Set the captive free.

    He has done it – let’s follow Him.
