Sing

  Sing

The Psalmist writes,

“Sing to the LORD a new song; 

sing to the LORD, all the earth. 

Sing to the LORD, praise his name; 

proclaim his salvation day after day. 

Declare his glory among the nations, 

his marvellous deeds among all peoples.” 

                                                  Psalm 96:1-3.

This is what we as Christians are called to do. 

To sing the praises to God. 

To proclaim His salvation day after day.

To declare His glory among the nations.

To tell of His marvellous deeds to all people.

Jesus said,

"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20.

As Christians we are all missionaries. We may not go far from home. But we can tell of the salvation that comes through Christ Jesus in our neighbourhood and to our friends, families and foes alike.

Are you doing this?

Please think about it.

A Note from the apostle Paul

  A note from the apostle Paul

The apostle Paul writes,

“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.  

And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.  

Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should.  

Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity.  

Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. Colossians 4:2-6.

Paul here makes it clear what a Christians is suppose to do. 

Be devoted to prayer, 

Be wise in the way we act with non-Christians, 

Make the most of every opportunity to tell people about Jesus,

Let our conversations be full of grace ( grace defined as, courteous good will... attractive qualities or behaviour).

These are all things within a Christians life that will attract people to Christ.

Thus my question to you; If you consider yourself a Christian are you doing what the apostle Paul is saying here?

Please think about it.

Are you

  Are You

The Prophet Isaiah said,

"With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.  

And will say in that day:

Give thanks to the Lord call upon his name,

make known his deeds among the peoples,

proclaim that his name is exalted." 

                                                    Isaiah 12:3,4

Jesus said,

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20.

These two portions of scripture one from the Old Testament and one from the New show Gods message has not changed.

God through Isaiah tells Israel to make known Gods deeds and proclaim His name among the people.

Jesus tells His disciples to go and make disciples of all nation teaching them to obey everything He commanded.

This is what Christians are called to do in 2021. We are not to judge. We are simply to present the gospel message to anyone who will listen to us.

If you consider yourself a Christian. A believer in Christ Jesus are you presenting the gospel message to those around you?

Please think about it.

Must Believe

Must believe
The writer of Hebrews states,
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
Faith defined as,
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1.
I think it is safe to say that you will not find God if your mind is made up and you say He doesn’t exist. You must be looking for God. You must have faith that God exists in order to find him.
Proof of God is all around us.
The Psalmist writes,
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 
     Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." Psalm 19:1-3.
Here are a few quotes from prominent scientist throughout the years,
Lord William Kelvin said,
"If you study Science deep enough and long enough, it will force you to believe in God" Lord William Kelvin.
Louis Pasteur said,
“A bit of science distances one from God, but much science nears one to Him... The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed by the work of the Creator” Louis Pasteur.
Even Stephen Hawking one of the greatest scientific minds ever admitted,
“It would be difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way, except as the act of God who intended to create beings like us” Stephen hawking.
Now I said all of that to ask you this question,
Do you truly believe God exists?
The choice is yours.
Please think carefully about it.
