Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even ...

Mark 12:35-40 New International Version (NIV) Whose Son Is the Messiah? 35 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 36 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: “‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.”’[a] 37 David himself calls him ‘Lord.’ How then can he be his son?” The large crowd listened to him with delight. Warning Against the Teachers of the Law 38 As he taught, Jesus said, “Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.”

ou need to know that we all should depend on God. Do not disregard the children. If you don't trust the Lord how can you ask other people to trust you. On verse 9 it means go as you are and you don't need to impressed people. Just bring God's word. God will provide for you. Verse 11 How will you respond if someone will not welcome you? Our responsibility is not to change people's minds. We are not to blame if the gospel got rejected. Repentance is the fruit when you receive the Lord. You should not be afraid. God told you to pray for one another. James 5:14-15

Mark: 1. 29. As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30. Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31. So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. 32. That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 33. The whole town gathered at the door, 34. and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was. ---

The beauty of the body of Christ is that we are not condemning each other. - Paul is telling the Corinthian Churches that they should support him. But he didn't get the support from them. 2 Corinthians: 12:11-12 I have made a fool of myself, but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the "super-apostles," even though I am nothing. I persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and miracles. - Whatever your situation whether if your pastor or church goer, Wheu have relationship Christ then you're special. Christians without Christ = "I am nothing" -

Whenever we get tired of doing the right things, the acronym for TIRED is: T ell it to God to I ncrease your faith and R efresh and E ndure and D o it with God We must be constant in asking God's Holy Spirit everyday. To have compassion for the lost. You don't have to act like Gentiles because the Gentiles like to be in the "position and power" which are deceiving, to be a leader you must be a servant. Whatever ministry we have, we must be careful with our pride. Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty. To change our heart also will change our actions. If we are controlled by emotions (as the heart is deceiving) we can't serve the Lord. We need to be controlled by His Holy Spirit. You don't have to know ...

Let us not love with words but with actions. Pray for non-believers that they will walk in the truth. Pray for one another, so that God's words will touch each lives. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Walking in the Truth is following the right path when we walk God's ways - don't expect that the road will be smooth, don't expect there will be no temptations. We need to follow directions and be reminded of God's words. Psalm 119:11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you. How do we walk in the truth? To walk in Spirit you must deny your flesh do not feed your flesh. If you feed your flesh you will be walking in flesh but if you...

Listen to a Good Advice... Solomon = means peaceful When Solomon asks for wisdom - God gave it to him, and even more... but he compromise until he was deceive by his possession and wives to honor other gods.

How can we please the Lord? To adore Him, obey His words, have fellowship. Let's find out what pleases God. People may not like us to put on our new self. It is hard to suffer and hard to give up our sin. 1 Thessalonian 4:3-5 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; If we don't have relationship to God, what are our desire?

The Bible will help us to keep away from sin but sin will keep us from the Bible. Peter was reminding the believers that Jesus is coming. In order to please God let us please HIM with our thoughts and actions. Be self control = sober, serious and clean minded - clear thoughts. Please God with our mind, set your mind on things above, behave decently with good acts. Are we ready for the coming of Jesus? Christian life is very serious we walk against the flow of the things in this world... Against the flow of current.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. ~~~

The theme of Peter is suffering thus this book is about encouragement. Matthew 4:18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. When we are discourage remember your salvation, remember the time when you are saved and it will help us endure our trials.

A child prayed and the elder heard him saying "Dear God thank you for the food. Amen" then the elders corrected him and said "when you pray you must mean it with your heart." and so the next time the child prayed and said "Dear God thank you for the food... I mean it, I mean it with my heart thank you. Amen" (^_^) Devote is to hold in our mind and to be constant in prayers without ceasing. Pray for one another. Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid I will trust in you. Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
