Full Gospel Pentecostal Church Anniston Alabama
There is not a greater expression of God loving us than Easter represents. God gave his Son so that he might come and live in our lives and be present with us daily. God loves us more than we love ourselves. The Bible teaches us that the love of God has been poured out in […]
I love the celebration of the Ressurection! To let our minds venture back to the breaking of dawn, the stone being rolled back and the Son of Man coming forth victorious over death, hell, and the grave. What a powerful event for us to think about. Not just because it happened, but because God did […]
Friday had been a horrible memory. Watching Jesus being betrayed, beaten, mocked, hanged on a cross, and finally seeing his dead body laid in a tomb. The dream, the excitement of a king, the ministry, all were suddenly silenced. We don’t know what the disciples did on Saturday. We don’t have a scripture to tell […]
Today, we celebrate the day Jesus died on the cross. It has become known as Good Friday. The events leading up to this day we celebrate and the events that took place on this day are anything but pleasant to think about. The things that Jesus suffered were horrendous, yet, the only words he would […]
How things are going in your life is often shown by the expression on your face. You would think some people are the saddest people in the world by the expressions they show. Their faces tell the world to leave me alone, I don’t won’t to be bothered. I am one who loves to be […]
The last couple days I have been a part of funerals of friends and family. I have introduced myself to many strangers and also to some family members whose names I could not remember. I wish I could tell you that I remember the names of the people I met, but, I only remember a […]
We all know people that love to talk. They know everything about anything the subject is about. I know people who have something to say on every subject I talk about. I’ve even continually changed the subject just to listen to what their response would be. Though, that can become annoying at times, the one […]
I don’t know about you, but, today’s passage of scripture is one that I had to learn from experience. I have always had a difficult time loving those who did things to hurt me, or told things that were not true just to attempt to do damage. That GET EVEN attitude was one that doesn’t […]
Do you have a child who is hard to get up in the morning? You have to go back more than one time and say GET UP, it’s time to get up. Maybe you are one who punches the snooze in the morning for that 5 more minutes. There are people who want to get […]
God has given each of us the talent, ability, and the opportunity to serve other people. When we use what God has provided us to help others, we become ministers for Christ. It’s surprising how many Christians do not consider themselves ministers. Minister is a term we have used only to describe the pastor or […]
I’ve always been a person who likes to get where I’m going early. I don’t like to wait until starting time to get to service. I never liked to get to work right at starting time, I like to get there early enough to make sure everything was ready to begin without any issues. My […]
The present age is the smartest people of all generations of mankind. It’s scary how smart man has become. There is hardly anything that you need to do that you can’t search out a tutorial to show you how to do it. The pursuit of knowledge is none ending. The one area of our lives […]
The storms have passed, the damage has been done, and now the cleanup and rebuilding begins. This is a repetitive news report for our communities in Alabama. Surrounding communities have been hit hard by the storms. College, churches, businesses, homes, and individuals have suffered great loss during this latest group of storms. There are many […]
How many of your activities depend on someone else to motivate you to keep going. A trip to the gym is often ommited if the other partner can’t go. A morning walk is often skipped if our co-walker is not able to make it today. How many of our New Year’s resolutions have stopped because […]
All of us have people that we just try to avoid being around for various reasons. When we see them coming we try to find an alternate route to keep from having to deal with them. The one person we can not avoid seeing and being with daily is yourself. The one relationship we can […]
March Madness is underway for the NCAA basketball. The brackets have been filled, 1 plays 16, 2 plays 15, 3 plays 14, and on and on. Reading the beatitudes, we find the real brackets for our life for March. Put the eight beatitudes on two brackets of four. 1 goes with 5, 2 goes with […]
How often does life frustrate you? Once a month, once a week, even once a day, we all face frustrations. The source of our frustrations can vary greatly, but, the answer to our frustrations can be found in the Bible. How do you deal with the frustating things that you face? (Isaiah 26:3-4 You will […]
Most people don’t think about or plan for tomorrow. They are too busy trying to do something that makes themselves look good today. Each of us have been entrusted by God with certain gifts that He expects us to use wisely and for His glory. My Bible reading this morning came from (Proverbs 16:21-22 The […]
A lot of the TV shows now are about restoring and remodeling old houses. It’s amazing to see the ideas they come up with to do a total makeover of a house. They can take something that is worthless and make it worth hundreds of times more than before. God does a similar work on […]
How often have you traded what you have for something you want and thought you got a really good deal? How many times have you traded automobiles and thought you got the best of the trade? How often do you receive an offer that you can not loose in the trade? God is offering us […]
We all want change at times in our lives, but we don’t always want to go through the process it takes to get there. It usually takes longer than we think it should, and there are always periods of waiting along the way. The question is, are we going to wait the wrong or right […]
Self-control could be the hardest thing in life to master. Many have made a decision to do better, but could not master the challenge of self-control. A bad habit, an obnoxious attitude, uncontrolled desires, or a loose tongue keeps setting them back. We promise ourselves and others that we are going to do differently, that […]
We all have an adversary who continually reminds us that we are not perfect. When we decide to live our life for God and begin to renew our minds by living by Godly principals, there will be times that we fall short. God knows that and unfortunately, the devil knows that also. God tries to […]
The last step in rebuilding and restoring relationship deals with reconciliation. That does not mean you have reached or will ever reach a resolution to your difference. Remember, what has happen cannot be undone, only reconciled. You will never find two people that agree on everything. That is why it is important to pursue reconciliation […]
3-8-18 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY…FIX THE PROBLEM!! FORGET THE BLAME!! We have been taught by the culture that we live in to blame someone for what goes wrong in our life. In yesterday’s devotion we talked about admitting our wrongs in rebuilding relationships with others. Today, we want to take the next step and that […]
