WORD DIARY: SATURDAY AUGUST 18, 2018

Matthew 22:34-36 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

Don’t tempt God! #PastorBasil

Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Love: The ultimate commandment! #PastorBasil

The Bible

Matthew 22:41-43 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says,

Divine mystery! #PastorBasil

Mark 5:3-5 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain. For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.

Let us pray: Arrows of insanity fired into our destiny backfire in Jesus name #PastorBasil

Postscript

Ecclesiastes 7:29 This only have I found: God made mankind upright, but men have gone in search of many schemes.

God, more than earthly manufacturers, created a perfect mankind; and like every manufacturer, He gave the Bible as the manual. As we brush our teeth and eat every day, so much do we need to look into that manual for daily living and thereby prevent a malfunction inherent in seeking our many devices.

These verses and the accompanying nuggets are meant to start you out every day. But you need a personal relationship with God and the Lord Jesus Christ. It will help to contact a bible believing church near you.

WORD DIARY: SATURDAY AUGUST 11, 2018

Matthew 22:19-21 Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"   "Caesar's," they replied. Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

Worship God! #PastorBasil

Matthew 22:29-30 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Salvation is a personal race! #PastorBasil

The Bible

Matthew 22:31-32 But about the resurrection of the dead — have you not read what God said to you, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."

Live in God, die to sin! #PastorBasil

Mark 5:2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet him.

Let us pray: Powers from the grave attacking our lives and destiny, collide with the Rock of Ages and die in Jesus name #PastorBasil

The Bible

Mark 4:40-41 He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

Matthew 22:1-3 Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come.

The Bible

Mind God’s business! #PastorBasil

Mark 4:38-39 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"  He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

Let us pray: O Lord, arise and calm every storm troubling our lives in Jesus name #PastorBasil

Matthew 21:42-43 Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?  "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.

Grace to be productive! #PastorBasil

Matthew 21:44 He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed." 

The Rock of Ages! #PastorBasil

 

The Bible

Matthew 21:45-46 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was talking about them. They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.

Enemies of the gospel! #PastorBasil
