Not Good Enough

...not having mine own righteousness...
â€”Philippians 3:9

People go through many doors which do not lead to the Kingdom of God. Some try the door of good works. They say, "I can get to heaven if I only do enough good things, because God will honor all the good things I do." It's wonderful to do good things, but we cannot do enough good things to satisfy God. God demands perfection, and we're not perfect. If we're going to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, we have to be absolutely perfect. You ask, "Well, how will I ever be perfect?" We need to be clothed in the righteousness of the Lord Jesus. There is one door to the Kingdom and it's Jesus. And we will never get to heaven unless we go His way.

Prayer for the day
Almighty God, there is nothing I can do to be worthy of Your love, and yet You have given me Jesusâ€”my Savior and Lord!

Don't Lose Sight

...when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem...
Luke 2:45

We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine...More
