    Honey Sweet Words

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 21, 2024
     | 540 views

    Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery language, flattery words, too-good-to-be-true praises, loud applauses and claps! It can be fake, exaggeration and altogether trash.

    Honey sweet words! And she (Delilah)said to him, “How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and you have not told me where your great strength lies.” Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery ...read more

    If you continue to stay faithful to God, patient, long suffering and loyal to God even when you don’t see results and applause, mark my words, God would one day shower confetti on you.

    Confetti Luke 1:9 “…according to the custom of the priestly office, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. A priest named Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth are the main characters of my devotion today. They were people of integrity, pious and blameless but still ...read more

    Jesus hated pride and used the Pharisees to highlight the evils of that sin. But why would God hate pride, and how would I know if I suffer from it?

    Last Sunday we introduced the “Upside Down Teachings of Jesus”. The teaching of Jesus that just don’t make sense to most people. Today’s sermon will continue that theme by focusing on Jesus’ teaching: “the Last shall be First, and the First shall be Last”. OPEN: When my dad first married my mom, ...read more

    In Max Lucado’s book the “Applause of Heaven” reads, Even though by the “book” I’m guilty, by God’s love I get another chance. Even though by the law I’m indicted, by mercy I’m given a fresh start. “For it is by grace you have been saved … not by works,

    How often are you tempted to think you’re more important than you really are? We like to be the center of attention. We like to promote ourselves. We like to receive praise from other people. We like the applause of others. It causes us to be more concerned about self than God and others.

    God is very much at work behind the scenes of our lives! If we don’t get that, if we miss this wonderful truth, we are going to go through life missing cues, acting in front of the wrong sets, or worse, not showing up for our part at all! Also, if we don’

    God gives us what we value most. If it’s public recognition, we get it. We get God’s approval only if that is what we value.

    Our culture admires publicity. People are famous just for being famous. We grow up watching people who command the public eye; we call them stars. They are the people with money, fame, position, power and recognition. They are held up by the media as larger than life, people to be envied. We ...read more
