MEN ARE CHAINBREAKERS For years we have kept ourselves in chains of bondage. These chains come from NATURE - our inherited sinful nature from Adam. These chains also come from CHOICES - the lifestyles we chose that lead us far from God. Finally, these chains also come from NURTURE - lies that we were taught in the world. We cannot break the chains ourselves, that is why Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead. Jesus showed us that even the chains of death could not hold Him; therefore, He is the only one who has the power to break our chains. We must come to realize that the only way we can break free from bondage is to surrender to the Lord an open our hearts to Him so He can transform us from the inside out.

"... hope we profess .... Read more
"... hope we profess ..." Wow, God knows just when to speak! We must TRULY believe that God is not only SOVEREIGN in our lives, but He also has our BEST INTERESTS at heart. No matter how confusing things look, God always has a plan. Our part is to TRUST God with that plan by IMPLEMENTING it in our lives. Abraham was told to pack his bags ... he didn't even know where he was going, but he went. Mary was told that she was going to have a baby even though she was never with a man. Her answer, "I am the Lord's servant. May it be to me as you have said." With God, no matter how random things may seem, there is always a plan, and GOD KNOWS HIS PLAN WILL ALWAYS COME TOGETHER!

* Tithe is from everything the land produces * The Israelites are commanded to eat their tithe in the presence of God * If that place is too far, they can exchange their tithe for silver, travel, and then purchase something to eat/drink and celebrate in the presence of God * They are also commanded to use it to take care of the Levites in their home town, though it does not say how much of the tithe goes to them. * Every third year's tithe is to be stored to provide for the Levites, aliens, fatherless, & widows - God promises to bless the work of their hands if they do this ReadLess

Bible Verse of the Day

Psalm 43:4 (NIV)

Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight. I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus (Gal.3:28). Occasionally, I’ll be asked to officiate at weddings. Today's Devotional archives...
