The Up
Side?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the
lost.”” Luke
19:10, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 6; “Believers
must die to sin, and live to God. (1,2) This is urged by their Christian
baptism and union with Christ. (3-10) They
are made alive to God. (11-15) And are freed from the dominion of sin. (16-20) The end of sin is death, and of holiness
everlasting life. (21-23)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 6.
Saints we must die to sin and have faith that Jesus delivered us.
Living a life of sin can only lead to death because God will not tolerate sin
in heaven. God sent his son Jesus to deliver us (justified as if we
never sinned) Jesus is our righteousness which sets us free from sin. “18 Therefore, as one
trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads
to justification and life for all men. 19 For as by the one man’s
disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the
many will be made righteous. 20 Now the law came in to increase
the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21
so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through
righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans
6:18-21, ESV. Only through faith in Jesus can we be delivered from
the ways of this world. There is no fuzzy logic here. The hour we
accept Jesus and turn from our sin we are born into the new life everlasting.
“28 And we know that for those who love God all things work
together for good, for those who are called according to his
purpose.” Romans
8:28, ESV. When we receive our new sinless life, we have purpose in
Jesus. His purpose is that none should perish. Our calling is to
shed our light for all men to see our freedom from sin and our relationship
with Jesus. This relationship is more meaningful than living in
sin! The upside is that all things work to the good for those who
choose to invite Jesus into their heart. For the abundance of life that
faith in Jesus gives us, we give God all the glory! If the Lord is
willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother

What's The Down Side?
The Best of the Feast
![]()
What's The Down Side?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those
who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make
intercession for them.” Hebrews
7:25, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 5; “The happy
effects of justification through faith in the righteousness of Christ. (1-5) That
we are reconciled by his blood. (6-11) The
fall of Adam brought all mankind into sin and death. (12-14) The grace of God, through the righteousness
of Christ, has more power to bring salvation, than Adam's sin had to bring
misery, (15-19) as grace did superabound. (20-21)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 5. We
are justified through faith in the righteousness of Jesus. When a sinner
becomes a true believer the blessing that takes place in the sinner’s life is
a peace with God. We are justified by our faith in Jesus. Our
justification in Christ Jesus puts in a state of being just as if we had
never sinned. Just as sin was brought into this world by the fall of Adam. The
grace of God, through the gift of salvation through Jesus brings a more
powerful life, more powerful than, Adam’s original sin which brought misery
and death. God’s grace has the effect of power beyond the natural man’s
understanding; “22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as
righteousness.” 23 But the words “it was counted to him” were not
written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be
counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25
who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” Romans
4:22-24, ESV. Our joy in the grace of God through Jesus causes
the angels to rejoice (see Luke
15:8-10). This is the lamp of Jesus that overcomes darkness`; “3 His divine power
has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the
knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4
by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that
through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.” 2
Peter 1:3-4, ESV. We are cured of sinful desire, by the grace
of God and salvation through Jesus. Let your light shine because
there is no down side in Jesus. If the Lord is willing I will send and
post the Feast again tomorrow.
If
you want Jesus to give you peace with God. Right now while he is calling you
say this simple prayer from your heart to Jesus; "Heavenly Father, have
mercy on me, a sinner. I believe in you and that your word is true. I believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that he died on the cross
so that I may now have forgiveness for my sins and eternal life. I know that
without you in my heart my life is meaningless. I believe in my heart that you, Lord God,
raised Him from the dead. Please Jesus forgive me, for every sin I have ever
committed or done in my heart, please Lord Jesus forgive me and come into my
heart as my personal Lord and Savior today. I need you to be my Father and my
friend. I give you my life and ask you to
take full control from this moment on; I pray this in the name of Jesus
Christ." Amen!
If
you don’t know where to turn or what to do next, please follow this
link; Jesus is calling!
God
Bless You,
Brother

Can We Be Unhappy?
The Best of the Feast

Can We Be Unhappy?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like
men, be strong.” 1
Corinthians 16:13, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 4; “The doctrine
of justification by faith is shown by the case of Abraham. (1-12) He
received the promise through the righteousness of faith. (13-22) And we are justified in the same way of
believing. (23-25)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 4 We
are reading God’s Word daily and this builds our faith (see Romans
10:17). Because of our faith is in Christ Jesus, we know that
our righteousness is in Jesus. “22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as
righteousness.” 23 But the words “it was counted to him” were not
written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be
counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25
who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.” Romans
4:22-25, ESV. Because we have faith that Jesus died on the
cross for all of our sin, and raised from the dead, we are justified. Just
as if we had never sinned, that is our justification in Jesus. “9 Know
therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who
keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his
commandments, to a thousand generations,”
Deuteronomy
7:9, ESV. We are commanded to share God’s love with the whole
world (see Matthew
28:18-20). It’s easy to share God’s love because He never
changes. We love, follow and share our awesome God. Happenstance
changes from one moment to the next. So we may be unhappy when we
see the conditions changing in the world around us, but they can never steal
our joy. Our faith, hope, love and joy are in Jesus! Let
your light shine. If the Lord is willing I will send
and post the Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother

Is There Hope Without Jesus?
The Best of the Feast

Is There Hope
Without Jesus?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be
constant in prayer.” Romans
12:12, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 3; “Objections
answered. (1-8) All
mankind are sinners. (9-18) Both
Jews and Gentiles cannot be justified by their own deeds. (19,20) It is owing
to the free grace of God, through faith in the righteousness of Christ, yet
the law is not done away. (21-31)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 3. The
question posed here in verses nineteen and twenty is; “can I be saved by
following the law?” I believe salvation is not possible without
our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus. “19 Now we know that
whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every
mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since
through the law comes knowledge of sin.”
Romans
3:19-20, ESV. The law cannot save us! We cannot do
away with the law, It simply points to what we must or must not do. We
are justified by and our righteousness is in Jesus. In other words
there is no justification or salvation to be found in the law. “15 but in
your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make
a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you;
yet do it with gentleness and respect,”
1
Peter 3:15, ESV. We honor Jesus, because he is the savior. There
is no law or person other than Jesus that can pay for our sins. It
is a privilege to share Jesus with those who don’t know Him. Those that
have accepted Jesus are in a relationship with Him. We share his
love with others gently and respectively, knowing that there is no peace
without salvation. There is no hope without Jesus! If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again
tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother

Are We To Judge Others?
The Best of the Feast

Are We To
Judge Others?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“11 for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee
shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.””
Romans
14:11, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 2; “The Jews
could not be justified by the law of Moses, any more than the Gentiles by the
law of nature.(1-16) The
sins of the Jews confuted all their vain confidence in their outward
privileges. (17-29)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully begin our Feast in Romans 2. Has
God called us to judge others? Do we do right in judging another’s
heart? I think we would do well to examine our own heart
accept Jesus and repent. “3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice
such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of
God? 4 Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and
forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead
you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart
you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s
righteous judgment will be revealed.”
Romans
2:3-5, ESV. When we do well accepting Jesus and repent of our
own sins then God can use us in the harvest. If we acknowledge God
and don’t accept Jesus and turn from our sinful acts, we are still lost. I
believe it is better that we accepted Jesus’ gift of salvation and turned
from our sin. “8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our
Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the
power of God, 9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not
because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave
us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,”
2
Timothy 1:8-9, ESV. This gift of salvation urges us on to good works as
free servants filled with the Holy Spirit. We are unashamed
sharing the work that Jesus has done in our life. We herald God
giving God all the glory, not judging others. We proceed following
Jesus, with Spirit filled lives, sharing the Word. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again
tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother

What Are We Sharing?
The Best of the Feast

What Are
We Sharing?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation
of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without
excuse.” Romans
1:20, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans,
Chapter 1; “The
scope or design of the apostle in writing to the Romans appears to have been,
to answer the unbelieving, and to teach the believing Jew; to confirm the
Christian and to convert the idolatrous Gentile; and to show the Gentile
convert as equal with the Jewish, in respect of his religious condition, and
his rank in the Divine favour. These several designs are brought into on
view, by opposing or arguing with the infidel or unbelieving Jew, in favour
of the Christian or believing Gentile. The way of a sinner's acceptance with
God, or justification in his sight, merely by grace, through faith in the
righteousness of Christ, without distinction of nations, is plainly stated.
This doctrine is cleared from the objections raised by Judaizing Christians,
who were for making terms of acceptance with God by a mixture of the law and
the gospel, and for shutting out the Gentiles from any share in the blessings
of salvation brought in by the Messiah. In the conclusion, holiness is
further enforced by practical exhortations.
The
apostle's commission. (1-7) Prays
for the saints at Rome, and expresses his desire to see them. (8-15) The
gospel way of justification by faith, for Jews and Gentiles. (16,17) The sins
of the Gentiles set forth. (18-32)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
we prayerfully begin our Feast in Romans 1. I
see many things that are worthy for expounding upon in Romans 1. I
have chosen to dwell on Paul’s greeting to the saints in Rome. “6 including you who
are called to belong to Jesus Christ, 7 To all those in Rome who
are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 8 First, I thank my God
through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all
the world.” Romans
1:6-8, ESV. This describes you to a tee Saints. You
are loved by God, having received God’s gift of salvation and grace through
Jesus. “[
God of All Comfort ] 3 Blessed be the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who
comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those
who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are
comforted by God.” 2
Corinthians 1:3-4, ESV This is part of our nature as saints, being
comforted by peace from the Holy Spirit by whom we are sealed. This is
what we are sharing with all who will come. Salvation through Jesus and
peace that passes understanding from the Holy Spirit. Let
the light of your soul, redeemed by Jesus shine!
Never
apologize for God’s Word, if any are offended it’s because they are living in
sin. Don’t twist God’s Word to support
a sinner, in doing so you would just condemn them as well as yourself from
salvation; “8 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God
gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They
were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice.
They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are
gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent,
haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish,
faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's
righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die,
they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.” 2
Corinthians 1:3-4, ESV. Only God can forgive sin! If the Lord is willing I
will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,

Let God Be Our Guide!
The Best of the Feast

![]()
Let God Be
Our Guide!
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and
no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has
given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out
of the Father's hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”” John
10:28-30, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully read our Feast in 1
Chronicles, Chapter 29; “David
induces the princes and people to offer willingly. (1-9) His thanksgiving and prayer. (10-19)Solomon enthroned. (20-25) David's reign and death. (26-30)” - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Today
as we prayerfully continue our Feast in I Chronicles
29. As we finish today’s study we
see a King’s Kingdom handed off from David to his son. We see people being
urged to give unselfishly. Sometimes we have trouble not being happy and
graceful when we see a friend receive property or pardon. If you’re content
with what God has prepared for you, then it is easier being truly happy for
others. “3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but
in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” – Philippians
2:3, ESV. Pray for those in need with us and if you can do more; our Lord
knows how to guide you. If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast
again tomorrow.
God
Bless You,
Brother
