    Accepting Praise

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Mar 27, 2021
     | 1,408 views

    Sometimes it is easier to accept the negative than the compliment.

    When you have lived a long time in a negative environment one of the most difficult things, after you are removed from it, is to accept praise. Often you mistrust it because when people praised you in the past they usually wanted something from you so you doubt the sincerity of the current praise. ...read more

    If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior then you are automatically accepted in the family of God. The Lord never rejects what belongs to Him.

    You Are Accepted - Ephesians 1:6 Intro: …. The grace of God is not fully comprehensible to the natural mind. To the natural mind the story of grace is one that is just too hard to believe. This same mindset also keeps us from knowing that we have been accepted by God and His great love. ...read more

    People can become so afraid of catching an illness that they will stay clear of anyone who is sick. Jesus challenged people to realize that caring for the spiritual needs of others far supersedes one’s desire for self-preservation

    I wish to begin our message today with two quotes by Mother Teresa. Here is the first quote: “The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”(1) In her humanitarian efforts in Calcutta, Mother Teresa observed much rejection and hopeless, as ...read more

    This sermon teaches that we are made perfectly accepted in Christ for the ultimate purpose of bringing praise to the glory of God's grace.

    Introduction Every person has a deep, fundamental need for acceptance. We long to be valued, welcomed, and loved for who we are. We fear rejection, and so we often spend our lives trying to earn the approval of others. Paul now brings the glorious truths of our choosing (v. 4) and adoption (v. 5) ...read more

     | 76 views

    Jesus makes it clear that some worship is unacceptable to God (John 4:22; Matt 15:8-9)

    ACCEPTABLE WORSHIP Part 1 INTRODUCTION A. Many people view the worship hour as a stage show: 1. Leaders are the performers, God is the prompter, and the worshipers are the audience (group of listeners or spectators), with many of them being self-appointed critics. 2. It is this attitude that ...read more

    The LORD accept thy burnt sacrifice. Psalm 20.3.

I wonder what prayers they might have made on His behalf if their sleepy heads could have stayed awake long ...read more

    To become mothers of Christ, we must internalize and make Mary's prayer our own: "Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).

    The spiritual motherhood of Christ is an exalted state attained by embracing a resounding "yes" to God, even in the face of seemingly impossible demands, echoing the divine calling that turned Mary into a virgin mother. To become mothers of Christ, we must internalize and make Mary's ...read more

    It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

    OPEN: In my files I ran across these nuggets of wisdom from little children: Patrick, age 10 - "Never trust a dog to watch your food." Hannah, age 9 - "When your dad is mad and asks you, ’Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer." Taylia, age 11 - "When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush ...read more
