Was the serpent the devil himself, or just a medium of the devil? If it was just a medium then why did God curse it? Wasn't it innocent? The serpent in the Garden of Eden was a real serpent. The Bible records: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which … Continue reading WHY did God curse the innocent serpent? Wasn’t it only a medium the devil used?

LIFE WITH CHRIST—A MODEL OF LOVE
“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love. For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
God’s love is unconditional, He pours in so we can pour out.
~ Lisa Blair
We are to love one another unconditionally, as our Father loves us in our sinful state, without conditions, caveats, or exclusion. We are to have Jesus’s mindset.
Love breaks down walls and gives the giver peace despite the circumstances. We don’t have to like everyone or keep them in our circle if toxic in anyway, but as a child of God we are required to love them as He loves us.
God pours His love into us so we can pour it out into a dark world, casting light and changing the atmosphere. When we reflect chaos and hate, we are contributing to the darkness. When we, like Paul, love everyone as God loves us, our love attracts others who are seeking God and want a relationship with Him. We are the model of Christ…

God sal reg aan jou laat geskied
'Here, ek plaas vandag hierdie situasie in u hande. Laat reg aan my geskied.' Jesaja 54:17 NLV Is jy vals beskuldig? Jesus was ook. Hulle het hom gulsig, 'n dronkaard en 'n vriend van sondaars genoem. Hulle het die apostel Paulus daarvan beskuldig dat hy 'n dwaas, 'n praatjiesmaker en mal is. Die Bybel het … Continue reading God sal reg aan jou laat geskied
Die 3 Salwings van die Melkisedek – Profeet, Koning en Priester
Sit aan My regterhand
Van Dawid. ‘n Psalm.
Ps 110:1 Die HERE (God – Yahuah die Vader) het tot my Here (Jesus – Yahusha die Seun) gespreek: Sit aan my regterhand, totdat Ek u vyande maak ‘n voetbank vir u voete.
2 U magtige septer sal die HERE uitstrek uit Sion en sê: Heers te midde van u vyande.
3 U volk sal baie gewillig wees op die dag van u krygsmag; in heilige feesgewade, uit die moederskoot van die dageraad sal vir U wees die dou van u jong manskappe.
4 Die HERE het gesweer, en dit sal Hom nie berou nie: U is priester vir ewig volgens die orde van Melgisedek.
5 Die Here aan u regterhand verbrysel konings op die dag van sy toorn.
6 Hy sal ‘n strafgerig hou onder die nasies; Hy maak dit vol dooie liggame; Hy verbrysel ‘n hoof oor ‘n groot…

Bitter wortels lok verwoesters
“‘n Boom wat nie sy sondetakke raaksien en bely aan God nie, ontvang nie vergifnis nie”
Hebreërs 12:15 (Afr. 33/53) “Pas op dat geen wortel van bitterheid opskiet en onrus verwek en baie hierdeur besoedel word nie.”
’n Boom gewortel in die hart van God ontvang alles waarop hy lewe vanaf God. Die Goddelike takke wat die boom groei, dra die vrugte van die Gees deur Jesus Christus. Al is ’n boom gewortel in die hart van God en al leef ’n boom op die liefde van God, kan so ‘n persoon nogsteeds sondig, want daar is nie een mens wat nie versoek word deur die vyand nie. Selfs Jesus, wat die Seun van God is, was versoek deur Satan om te sondig, maar Jesus se wil was totaal oorgegee aan die wil van God en daarom het Hy God altyd gehoorsaam en het Hy nooit gesondig nie. Kan die mens sy wil totaal oorgee aan die wil van God en nooit sondig nie? God sê…

When You Feel Far From God
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5b (NIV) One day I was praying for my son a prayer that had almost become as rote as “God is great. God is good.” Dear God, please be with Steven today, I whispered. Just as abruptly as a referee’s whistle calling foul, the … Continue reading When You Feel Far From God
Leef daar waar jy is
Elkeen van ons is geroep om God se Woord in die wêreld uit te dra. Sommige van ons werk voltyds as predikante en pastore. Die res van ons het ander beroepe of werksomstandighede. Sommige preek deur woorde en ander deur dade. Die feit bly staan: Elkeen van ons is geroep om Jesus aan die wêreld … Continue reading Leef daar waar jy is

Don’t Just Hear Him — Heed Him!
by Alicia Bruxvoort “But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.” James 1:22-24 … Continue reading Don’t Just Hear Him — Heed Him!
