Maturing in the Body of Christ!

  The Body of Christ and spiritual maturity! “Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part. If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body? If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything? But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where he wants it. How strange a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body. The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are ac

Dear Lord your word says as the Body of Christ we are made up of many different parts, and that together we are one body, with you are Lord Jesus Christ as the head!

Help us realize that your word of God says it is your peace and your love that is the glue that binds us together, give us your grace to abide in that peace and love! Through y

A ripple of Christ Joy!

A ripple of Joy I had believed I was a Christian all of my life, but in 2010 I had a true encounter with God that transformed my faith and how I interacted with others! At the time of my transformation, I was working in a warehouse and also working as a doorman(bouncer) part-time at a bar and grill.  My responsibility at the bar and grill was to check customers' ID's to make sure they were old enough to come into the establishment.  Originally I had an okay attitude when doing my job. For example, I would say “ID please” and our customer would give me their ID and I would hand it back to them and they would walk into the restaurant. One day I decided I wanted people to know that I was Christian, but not by preaching to them or hitting them over the head with a Bible.  But by my outward expression of the Holy Spirit that lives within me. So I asked God how to accomplish this, and the response I believe I received was to express Christ Joy through the Holy Spirit thro

A simple message

Property of Simple Saints A simple message The message is that God wants us to love Him and our neighbors.  In the Word of God, God asks us to love Him with all your heart, body, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. God has even asked us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us.  Notice the Lord tells us to love our neighbor as ourselves, this tells us we need to love ourselves as well! Sincere profession of faith Do you realize when you make a sincere profession of Faith,  asking Jesus to be your Lord and savior which may coincide with water baptism, that we become baptized with the presence of the Holy Spirit?  The Holy Spirit who is one with the Father and the Son(Jesus)comes and lives within us. So there should be an outward expression of Him who lives within us and His character is Love!  However, because of the first sin the original sin of Adam and Eve eating from the tree of Good and Evil, we also have a
