Good Morning, this is a day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it !!! But it is also a sad day in our Nation.... When a group known for moral stances are starting to listen to the views of a few... That group is the: Boy Scouts of America, there is a petition going on from certain groups to end the Boy Scouts long stance on having gay scout leaders (openly gay). Therefore I would like to start another petition that supports their long standing stance to continue. To the Christians: lets stand for Jesus right now!!!! We know what our GOD can accomplish with the help of a few. (remember Chick fil-A last yr ?) The Scouts Oath is: On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. With this oath to God and also to be morally straight how can they allow gay leaders or any immorality (leading our boys !) ???? Let's make a stand !!! Who will stand with me ?

Do you have piece ?

BIBLE MEDITATION:


Colossians 3:15 - “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.”



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

In Florida where I was raised, we had a lot of hurricanes. Even as a child I learned that in the center of the worst hurricane, there’s a calm called the “eye” of the storm. When the storm passes over, there is a calm like a millpond on a summer evening. Friend, in your storm today there is a center that is calm. It’s the heart of God. He is there. He is the great I AM in the midst of your storm. As someone has well said, “God gives peace that the world can’t take away.” It is supernatural peace.



ACTION POINT:

Do you have the peace of God in your heart? Claim the promises of Psalm 29:11, Isaiah 26:3, and Romans 5:1 today.

Walking threw the Valley alone ?

BIBLE MEDITATION:


Psalm 23:4 - “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.”



DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:

There’s nothing, my friend, that will bring you more face-to-face with God than going through the dark valleys of life. When you are there, you are going to cling to His garments and hold onto His hand. You won’t stray far from the fold in the dark. Do you believe that He is with you? The ultimate Sovereign is your loving Savior. You will not have to cross Jordan alone. You will not appear before the judgment of a Holy God alone. You are not going to die alone.



ACTION POINT:

What a joyful promise! You are not alone! Write these words on a card and post it in a place where you can see it all the time: “I am not alone. God is with me.”

What Muslims say about Jesus...

My words are in Black and Islam is Red...

What Do Muslims Think About Jesus (I'sa)?

1.  Muslims respect and venerate Jesus Christ. They consider him to be one of God's greatest messengers to humankind. The Qur'an re-affirms his miraculous birth and his miraculous abilities. Furthermore, his mother Mary is regarded as one of the most pure and exalted women of all creation. As the Qur'an says:
2. First, God's greatest messengers ? No !!, Jesus was not just a messenger, but let's go on..
3. Mary in the Bible is not mentioned as the most pure and exalted woman....(when Jesus mentioned mary, You continue to find the word: woman-not mother....) she is not exalted !!

 

 

"Behold! the angel said: 'God has chosen you and purified you and has chosen you above the women of all nations. O Mary! God gives you the good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near to God" (3:42).

Relax, everyone....because this is what the Quran says about Jesus and mary, not what the Word of God says....no need for concern..... let's go on..

 

 

 

Islam regards its teachings to be a re-affirmation and culmination of the teachings of previous monotheistic religions like Judaism and Christianity. Hence, all Muslims believe in Moses and Jesus as Prophets of God. Prophet Muhammad was commanded to recite in the Qur'an:

Now here is where the trouble lies for Islam... First:  They believe Jesus to be just a Prophet, correct ?
Well, if the Scripture's are correct about prophets, prophets tell what God tells them to say, right ?
Well then why doesn't Islam believe that Jesus is the Son of God? did not even God the Father say this about Jesus Himself ???? ( In Luke Chapter 3 verse: 22) says: the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased."  
Or how about: Matthew Chapter 17 verse, 1-5 (verse 5: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!"  Which was on the Mountain of Transfiguration or Mt. Hermon......

You see the Lord Jesus Christ is not just a Prophet, not just a Messenger,and also not just a good Teacher and also not just an Apostle, but He is: The Son of the Living God/ Jesus born of a woman-virgin-was fully Man and fully God at the same time......

 

 

 

"Say, we believe in God and that which was revealed unto us, and that which was revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob, and the tribes and that which was entrusted unto Moses and Jesus and the Prophets from their Lord We make no distinction between any of them and unto Him we have submitted" (3:84).

 

 

 

A Muslim never refers to him simply as "Jesus", but always adds the phrase "upon him be peace." The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth, and an entire surah (chapter) of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary." The Qur'an describes the Annunciation as follows:

It is funny how the Qur'an confirms somethings of the Bible and not others....and of course you understand that what the Qur'an gets is the quotes from the Bible, why do I say this???? Simply because the Qur'an was written after the Bible !!!!!!!! that's right, after the Scriptures... So they can pick and choose what they want in the book called the Qur'an....or the last revelation from God....
No my friends, the Bible is the last and only Book and Word of the living God !!!

 

 

 

"She said: 'O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' He said: 'Even so; God creates what He wills. When He decrees a thing, He says to it, "Be!" and it is.'" (Qur'an 3:42-7)

 

 

 

Jesus was born miraculously through the same power that had brought Adam into being without a father: "Truly the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." (Qur'an 3:59)

 First, Jesus was not and is not a created being !!!! (John, Chapter 8 verse: 58-says)" Jesus said to them, " Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." and verse 59-says Then they (the jews) took up stones to throw at Him...... Why did the jews try to stone Jesus ? Because they knew that He was claiming to be God !!! they also remember the Moses account at the burning bush when Moses asked God who shall I say that sent me....and God said " I AM that I AM"......

So let's get this straight my friends....Jesus said that He was the Son of God, God the Father said that He was the Son of God, and look at another person that testifies this fact !  John, Chapter 1 verse 34, says " And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God."   Who said this also....it was John the Babtist.....  And wait there's another " II Peter chapter 1 verse: 16,17 that says: "but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: " This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 

 

During his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, a figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." (Qur'an 3:49)

Now this speaks of things not written in the Bible, but from the books outside of the Bible, which are not part of the canon of Scripture, the non-inspired books.....that they have copied from here too.... but let's go on.....below...

 

 

 

Neither Muhammad nor Jesus came to change the basic doctrine of the belief in One God, brought by earlier prophets, but to confirm and renew it. In the Qur'an, Jesus is reported as saying that he came: "To attest the law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden to you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." (Qur'an 3:50)

This is just words took out of the Scriptures again and twisted them around....Don't believe this story from the Qur'an.....This  book of lies and deceiving words.....

Friends remember what the Bible says in Jude 3-4......I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.........For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ..........

                                                    Jesus is Lord..... the Alpha and Omega......the First and the Last.....Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father.........   Philippians 2:8-11.
