Those who trust in the Lord have hope and need not fear difficulty or calamity. They know who is in control of their lives and that He is fully good and true. Proverbs 3:5–6 is a wise instruction that ends in a promise: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” What a wonderful thing to trust in God with all your heart and to have Him direct your paths.

The purpose of worship is not to obtain an emotional high, to placate the flesh,or to be entertained. It's not a theater stage for dramatics or performance. The purpose of worship is to honor, glorify, and praise our holy God.

John 4:23-24
Marks 7:6-13).

When we develop a lifestyle of making the Lord our refuge, we begin to live in the peace of God (Psalm 46:1; 62:8). Psalm 91:1 holds the secret to living in the peace of God: “He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.” That secret place in our hearts is where we go to meet with God. When we choose to live there and hide away under His shadow, staying in constant communion with Him, we can remain peaceful, even when circumstances may not be. When we learn to cry out to Him in times of trouble, we find that His peace really does pass all human understanding (Philippians 4:7).

Many Christians celebrate Good Friday with a subdued service, usually in the evening. The singing of solemn hymns, the offering of prayers, Scripture readings, and a message on Christ’s suffering on our behalf are often part of a Good Friday service. Also, Christ’s death is remembered with the observance of the Lord’s Supper, or communion. Some Christian traditions enforce a strict fast on Good Friday, and worshipers wear black and cease from work, treating Good Friday as a day of mourning. In some countries, people bake hot cross buns and serve them to friends and family. However Christians choose to observe Good Friday, the great sacrifice of Christ should be the focus.

The death of Christ, commemorated on Good Friday, was unlike any other death. Jesus’ death was truly a sacrifice for sin: “For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus” (Romans 3:25–26, NLT).

The Bible does not instruct Christians to observe Good Friday; neither does it forbid such an observance. The Bible gives us freedom in these matters. Romans 14:5 says, “One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.” Believers are to remember Christ’s death every time they observe the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper. Jesus’ words at the Last Supper are recorded in 1 Corinthians 11:24, 26: “Do this in remembrance of me. . . . For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes

Serving Two Masters
George Slover

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19-20)

Jesus clearly points to two possible courses of life, two possible paths: either to store up earthly goods or to store up heavenly treasure. Our heart has room to embrace only one of these possibilities. If we cling to the world, we cannot cling to heaven. There is only one of these options that can truly satisfy.
The earthly goods that consume so much of our time are both perishable and insecure. The moth devours the garment. The metals rust and tarnish. The things that one may work hard to obtain, the thief steals. Man can never guarantee his hold on anything he may possess. He has it today, but he is never sure of tomorrow.

Death and decay cannot destroy the treasure of heaven. It’s most prized jewel is the very presence of God. God promises an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away. (1 Peter 1:4) The lines of a favorite Jamaican chorus: “My home is in heaven, just waiting for me, and when I reach there how happy I’ll be. My home is in heaven. No rent to pay. My Jesus paid it, paid it all for me.”

Where is your treasure? What is the object of your desires? Where do you place your trust? Where do you seek security and consolation? Worldly possessions can easily turn our hearts away from Jesus. Do you try to combine devotion to these with loyalty to Christ? Or, are you exclusively devoted to Him? --

When our thoughts turn to worry, fear, discouragement, and anger, we are to consciously and quickly turn every thought into prayer and every prayer into thanksgiving. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul commands us to stop being anxious and instead, "in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Philippians 4:6). He taught the believers at Colossae to devote themselves "to prayer, being watchful and thankful" (Colossians 4:2). Paul exhorted the Ephesian believers to see prayer as a weapon to use in fighting spiritual battles (Ephesians 6:18). As we go through the day, prayer should be our first response to every fearful situation, every anxious thought, and every undesired task that God commands. A lack of prayer will cause us to depend on ourselves instead of depending on God's grace. Unceasing prayer is, in essence, continual dependence upon and communion with the Father.

For Christians, prayer should be like breathing. You do not have to think to breathe because the atmosphere exerts pressure on your lungs and essentially forces you to breathe. That is why it is more difficult to hold your breath than it is to breathe. Similarly, when we are born into the family of God, we enter into a spiritual atmosphere where God's presence and grace exert pressure, or influence, on our lives. Prayer is the normal response to that pressure. As believers, we have all entered the divine atmosphere to breathe the air of prayer.

Definition of marriage.

Marriage is not a something that you can compite with, it's just a blessing from higher God. There's no compition in marriage at all.

Because whenever you get rush to marry, it would lead you to marry the roadsider and later return back to the roadside. Perhaps, wait for the humble, kind and loving woman, genuine and God fearing.The woman with dignity, loyal and submissive to her husband, The woman that will worship God with you.

Just ask God through prayer to have such kind of woman because they're rarely to be found on earth today.

All in all I just glorified God for His unconditional love upon me.

Blessings
