Today, I wanted to write a little bit. I have not been to Chick-Fil-A in a bit. I hope this does not bother my readers. I am having to endure with little right now. Anyways, I wanted to say, that my title has a purpose. Here is a scripture, that Robert Jeffress highlighted for me. Its fascinating, because last night I was thinking of the crowns we might receive from JESUS! So, its interesting that I clicked on Robert Jeffress and this was the substance of his message.
1 Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
This verse from Paul, is about how we are striving for a crown. But he uses the Olympics and athletics as his example. But he explains, the crown they sought was corruptible. The crown we receive from JESUS is incorruptible. According to Robert Jeffress, there is more than one crown too! How we do in this life, is what will be our reward in Heaven with JESUS.
I just wanted to give this verse, and discuss it because the crown of righteousness was on my mind last night. I don’t know why. Sometimes that happens. I think about something from the Bible, and GOD leads me to exactly what I had been thinking of. This has happened ever since Misawa, Japan! Over and over. It takes me by surprise every single time, too. I know GOD loves me. I hope I measure up to His love!
I got into a discussion about JESUS yesterday. I explained that my Home is not of this world. But I got an “alien like” in discord. So, I explained that I AM an alien, and that I am just passing through. My home is NOT this world. BUT I am a royal priesthood, a chosen generation! I always enjoy an opportunity to discuss my faith, and my Friend, LORD, and Savior, JESUS! The freedom to do so, won’t always exist.
I am gonna stop harping on the Muslims. I will give updates when I find them. But instead of discussing Muslims, which are a dire threat in Texas, I will discuss my friend JESUS. This is to honor my suffering brothers and sisters in Christ JESUS, found throughout the world! I will discuss the persecution as well, with a focal point on JESUS.
One place where there is a lot of Christian persecution. Is Pakistan. I saw yet another meme from Voice of the Martyrs discussing how the Pakistanis suffer under “blasphemy” laws. They are sentenced to death often, in these cases. Occasionally, ACLJ will take up the case. It has happened a few times. Thats why I appreciate the ACLJ. Soon, I think they will have there hands full in America though!
I am currently listening to Casting Crowns. Nobody! I will share that song here. Look at this here:
I hope you enjoyed the song!!! The Peace of Christ be upon you!!!
