TODAY YOU COULD BE STANDING NEXT TO SOMEONE WHO IS TRYING THEIR BEST NOT TO FALL APART.
SO WHATEVER YOU DO TODAY, DO IT WITH KINDNESS IN YOUR HEART…

 

In a world filled with pain, heartbreak, and never-ending trials, we often encounter people who are quietly battling their own struggles. As the Bible reminds us, “And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).

 

Today, you may stand beside someone who is fighting to hold it all together, putting on a brave face while wrestling with their inner turmoil. This is when kindness can become a powerful instrument of God’s love. “Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart” (Proverbs 3:3).

 

As believers, we are called to be tenderhearted, compassionate, and supportive. Extend kindness, for it is the fruit of the Spirit and a testament to your faith. “Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love” (Romans 12:10).

 

Today, let your heart overflow with kindness, and in your every action, demonstrate the love of Christ to those who need it most.

 

Bible reading:

 

I Peter 3:8

‘Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; ‘

Ephesians 4:32:
“And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”

Colossians 3:12:
“Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering.”

Galatians 5:22:
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith.”

Proverbs 3:3:
“Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.”

What Saith the Scripture?

Most problems in interpreting Bible passages arise from neglecting a passage’s context. The guiding principle of sound interpretation is to take a passage literally. Not maintaining this discipline, interpreting Scripture becomes made up, man’s idea, fantasy, and the passage can mean almost anything. The result is erroneous and ridiculous interpretations.

Another important principle to sound Bible interpretation is to read Scripture “in-time”. In other words, we have to read and study the Bible as a progressive revelation. Not getting ahead of God’s revelation.

God’s plan of redemption for mankind wasn’t revealed all at once to Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, or any of the other old testament prophets. Not even Peter and the eleven were given the full counsel of God. The Lord revealed to each of the aforementioned what they needed at their particular time in Biblical history. A hermeneutical method that does not approach Scripture as a progressive revelation leads to erroneous interpretations.

To be a good bible student one must maintain a literal, grammatical and historical (in-time) hermeneutic. There has been much too much of man’s theology governing Scripture when it is God’s Word alone that reigns over theology.

The Good News

salvation

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. You don’t have to do anything but believe by faith that God sent His only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead 3 days later.

THE GOOD NEWS

SALVATION

Salvation is a FREE GIFT from God. SALVATION IS BY FAITH ALONE & FAITH IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS.

  1. God declares all mankind sinners and we all fall short of Glory of God. Romans 3:23
  2. The payment for our sin is death. Romans 6:23
  3. But God…because he loved you so much sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to die in your place, for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead three days later. 1 Cor 15:1-42cor 5:21

All God asks is that you believe by faith alone in 1, 2, & 3. That you’re a sinner, separated from God but God sent his Son to die for your sins, was buried & rose again 3 days later.

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
