James 4:7-8

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Submit means “to give over or yield to the power or authority of another”. We must make up in our mind that the world is not the place for us. We must turn away from what the world is offering and submit to God. I was thinking how wonderful God is to have created all that is in existence today. I find it funny that people try to believe in such theories as the Big Bang theory because they don’t want to believe in a supreme being.

What is the Big Bang Theory? It is “a theory that deduces a cataclysmic birth of the universe (big bang) from the observed expansion of the universe, cosmic background radiation, abundance of the elements, and the laws of physics.” Now look at the items that must have existed prior to this big bang. “Expansion of the universe”, “cosmic background radiation”, “abundance of the elements”…who created these?

After reflecting on this, I asked myself “how can I not be submission to God?” So Saints in 2013 I plan to strive toward a closer relationship (drawing nigh) with God, the creator of all that is and ever will be!

Have a blessed New Year!

Luke 2:1-21

The Birth of Jesus

2 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

21 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

Have a Blessed Christmas!

by Daily Scriptures on December 24, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Posted In: Daily Scriptures

Today is the eve of the first Christmas for The Pastor’s Message. I thank God for all He has done and will do in the coming year. Haggai 2:9 comes to mind this season as I prepare for 2013. It says “9 ’The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

I believe 2013 will be a powerful year for believers in Christ. I pray many blessing for each and every one of you. Enjoy the celebration of our beloved Jesus Christ. Share this time with family and friends and tell someone who doesn’t expect it that you love them!

Have a blessed day!

30 The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes, 31 and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”

The Pastor’s Message will be hitting road this morning! We ask for your prayers as we head south and spread the word to all those we come into contact with.

Matthew 24:36

by Daily Scriptures on December 21, 2012 at 7:57 am
Posted In: Daily Scriptures

36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father.

As many of you already know, the sun has rose on the 21st day of December 2012 and we are still here. Once God has affirmed that no one knows the hour in which world will end. For days there has been many conversations about the Mayan calendar ending today. Well, as the Bible states “no one knows” and that means the Mayans did not know either.

Have a blessed day!

Matthew 1:18:25

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[a]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[b] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[d] (which means “God with us”).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.

Footnotes:

a.Matthew 1:18 Or The origin of Jesus the Messiah was like this
b.Matthew 1:19 Or was a righteous man and
c.Matthew 1:21 Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua, which means the Lord saves.
d.Matthew 1:23 Isaiah 7:14

Matthew 19:13-15

by Daily Scriptures on December 19, 2012 at 9:22 am
Posted In: Daily Scriptures

When reading this scripture you can’t help but to think about all the little children who have suffered and lost their lives over the years. We have got to do better with our children. At least one thing for sure we know that Jesus has a place for the children that cannot be hindered by man.

The Little Children and Jesus

13 Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them.

14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Have a blessed day!

Matthew 8:25-26

by Daily Scriptures on December 17, 2012 at 6:22 am
Posted In: Daily Scriptures

Fear can and will overtake us if we let it. Our faith must overcome our fear. No matter what situation we find ourselves in we need to trust God and have faith that which we need will come to past. The next time you’re faced with something that brings out feelings of fear in you, panic attacks, you’re scared of something or you can’t sleep for worrying, get up and read the word of God. You’ll find that spirit of fear will leave you when you’re focused on His word.

24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Have a blessed day!

Galatians 3:28

by Daily Scriptures on December 14, 2012 at 10:09 am
Posted In: Daily Scriptures

I was sitting and talking with some of my friends when the topic of Rob Parker and his ridiculous comments about Robert Griffin III came up. I am amazed that over a decade into the 21st century we are still talking about a person’s race over their accomplishments. RGIII has excelled on the playing field. Why can’t we leave it at that? It doesn’t matter what race he is, he is very good at his job. Today’s scripture is a reminder that we are all equal under God. Let us not forget that.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Have a blessed day!
