Word of the Day: God wants to set you free today!
Often, we only truly value freedom when it's taken away from us. Sin and the devil seek to enslave us and prevent us from living the best of God's plans for our lives, but the Lord came to set us free from all evil. Believe in Jesus and ask Him to break every chain that hinders you from living for God! Be completely free in Christ!
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
Jesus is the one who can truly set you free. He has the power to release you from any bondage that might be hindering your growth in the Lord. The freedom that God gives us is internal, it brings light into our lives, brings much peace, and fills our hearts with joy.
13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:13-14
Is there something you need to be set free from today? Is there any fear in your heart or any attitude that prevents you from living in the total freedom that God desires for you? Go to the Lord! Open your heart to His work, let Him cleanse your being and fill you with His Holy Spirit. The Lord will hear your cry and bring the deliverance you need to live the abundant life He has for you. He does this all because he has loved you since before you were even born.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.Psalm 34:6
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-32

Word of the Day: What if today was your last day?
Would you be ready to meet God face-to-face tomorrow? Perhaps that's a scary thought! Or something you have never thought about before. But it is important to be prepared. Jesus tells a story about being prepared for his return:
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
25 “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3 The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4 The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5 The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
Matthew 25:1-5
In the passage the wise virgins were prepared for the long wait, they had taken enough oil to last for the evening, but the foolish virgins had not... They were unprepared and suffered the consequences:
6 “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7 “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9 “‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10 “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11 “Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’
12 “But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’
Matthew 25:6-12
The Bible says if you repent of your sins and dedicate your life to following Jesus, there's no need to fear! You are prepared for the time when God will come and judge the living and the dead. When it's time to give an account, Jesus will purify all who have been faithful to Him.
But for those who are not prepared, who have not repented of their sins and dedicated their lives to Jesus, the situation is dire. In the story, Jesus says to the foolish virgins "Truly I tell you, I don't know you", in the end, nothing else mattered, not their wealth, status, or possessions. They had no relationship with Jesus, so they were locked out of the banquet. Make things right with God today, while you still have time.
Live for Jesus and receive the hope of Heaven!

Word of the Day: Believe! You Can Move Mountains by Faith!
When the sun sets, do you doubt that it will rise again the next day? No! You believe it will rise, even without seeing it. That is faith.
We can have the same faith in God because He never fails. Even without seeing, we can believe that God will not forsake us.
The Bible says that a little faith in God has a great effect. Those who truly believe can move mountains! To witness God's miracles, all you need to do is believe and act. Jesus tells us this himself:
21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done.Matthew 21:21
Consider the story of Thomas, one of Jesus' disciples. He doubted that Jesus had risen from the dead until he saw Jesus with his own eyes. Jesus responded to him saying, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." This shows us just how powerful faith can be, it transcends beyond the need for physical proof. It's about trusting in what we cannot see but know to be true in our hearts.
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:29
