Fear, The thought of the day

We live without denying the times that have spread over the world the gloomy veil of uncertainty, helplessness and the horror of death. Believe it or not, we are living in those days long warned by the Bible, in which man’s mind will fall asleep and the divine spirit in him will be extinguished. We are therefore very close to the moment when we will be judged by the Godhead for all our iniquities.

And yet, now that the history of a captive world in pseudo-happiness is preparing to draw its last curtain, a cry of hope transcends space and time echoing in the terrible spiritual night that has soaked its soot everywhere and all over. It is the warm voice of the Savior of the world, of the Lord Jesus Christ who calls us by name today, because He wants to be close to us, to listen to our pain and to encourage us even if everyone else has left us.

‘Come to me,’ said the Savior of the world in long-forgotten times; ‘Come, all you who are toiling and burdened, and I will give rest to your souls.’

‘Come, for the time of grace is at hand.’ God calls us today, uttering the same gentle words that encourage us, comforting our battered and bruised bodies under the severe blows of life’s troubles!

Wherever you are, turn your face to Him by trusting in the strong and powerful hand of God, choosing to dedicate your life exclusively to Him, not forgetting that He was, is, and will always be ready for you. Shield as much as possible Reward.

Thought of the day:

Because we live, work, educate, and socialize with each other in the same sinful society, we will be constantly exposed to the risk of being deceived and bombarded with all the poison of its decadent philosophy.

In fact, developing our mentality in a corrupt world and constantly subjected to tempting offers, cunningly presented by the evil one, we slowly but surely began to sink into the mud and dust of this dirty world, pushed down by the heavy burden. of accepting compromise and indulging in sin.

Thus, in the same way that Satan overthrew the world through lies and false illusions that at first glance and carefully analyzed seemed noble, he will also try to deceive us.

It will enter our lives through the so-called ‘sins considered small’, often ignored, but which will instantly begin to have their evil effect on the ‘virus’ mind of the permissive man with sin, and which like a microscopic fissure that will develop over time. extraordinary, able to break in two even the strongest and most resistant rock.

In the same way, a seemingly harmless sin now will carry with it the energy needed to destroy our whole life; but he will do it treacherously and laconically, for it will entail an endless stream of irregularities which will carry us on the steps of decay and lead us from bad to worse.

So don’t play with sin. Do not listen to the whisper of the evil one and do not let yourself be carried away by his strategy because giving him even the slightest chance, he will infiltrate your life like poison, and drop by drop it will become part of your nature.

Choose the path of vigilance and wisdom today, identifying all the little ‘evils’ that have come into your life. Take them out, and put the mentality and goodness of the Lord Jesus in their place. All this will ennoble you.

Be blessed!

Thought of the day:

Deepening our thoughts today in the divine wisdom and at the same time looking at the cruel reality around us, we understand more than ever that we are living in the hard and dangerous times of the end of history.

These are the dark days on which our forefathers wisely tried to draw our attention with great responsibility, because it is a time characterized by wickedness, confusion, and spiritual wandering rather than goodness and morality.

Why do I say that? And what do I rely on in my statements? Or if we better fit the question: what affects us personally?

Well, looking diligently at the postmodern trend, we understand that the spiritual darkness that encompassed the world did not come from nothing, but is attributed to our fierce ‘ability’ to manipulate ourselves and the mind alone. We often do it in a desperate attempt to reconcile and keep together in the lives dominated by a ‘duplicitous’ thinking both the worldly lifestyle, the sins that come with it, but also God and His holiness.

So these are the days of sifting, the ones that the Bible tells us about and that we have been waiting for for a long time, because they mark the end of our run. It is the time when, as a skilled craftsman, God will separate the sour grapes from the good ones, the weeds and the gold from the rusty and worthless tins.

In this light of understanding the Bible, all of us who have put our trust in God should strive to remain spiritually vigilant, choosing to guide our lives according to His Word and the precepts it contains, to the detriment of the chase. you are mad at the illusory ‘riches’ of this sinful and miserable world.

Let us do all things without murmuring and without hesitation, so that at the coming of the Lord we may be found blameless and clean, honorably bearing the title of children of God.

I conclude by reminding you of the apostle Paul’s beautiful exhortation to believers everywhere: Philippians 2:12

Thought of the day:

When troubles, stress, or worries begin to arise in life, man’s first reaction is usually to move quickly toward a fellow believer, a place of comfort, or a shoulder to cry on. bitter.

We all do it instinctively, forgetting that the ‘source’ of true comfort is in God and that His goodness has been offered to us without money and without payment to each of us.

In this idea the Psalmist reminds us bluntly: (I quote) ‘Because you say: The Lord is my refuge! and thou shalt make the tower of the Most High to dwell in, and there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. ‘ (Psalm 91: 9-10)

But being educated in the secular mentality, I depersonalized the Deity so much that I transformed it either only into an archaic painting, painted fad in the minds of the already ‘weather-coveted’ generation, or into a philosophical chimera of the secular generation. , postmodern that is slowly taking over control of humanity through a dramatic paradigm shift.

So we cling to people’s hopes, knowingly forgetting or denying the Creator.

But by carefully analyzing and meditating on the teachings of the Bible, that wonderful letter that the Godhead addressed to mankind that he created out of love, we understand that it is much better to seek refuge in the Lord Jesus than to trust. in people, it is even better to seek the help of the Creator than to trust in the powerful ‘!

Wherever you are, ask Jesus to stand by you today, for by choosing him to be your partner, all your paths will be smooth, and you will succeed in everything you set out to do. !

Thought of the day:

From the beginning of his existence on earth, man has understood that one of the most effective mechanisms by which he can control, subordinate, and lead his fellows is the establishment of a system of fear, authoritarian control, and emotional manipulation; mechanisms that we unfortunately find implemented and propped up even in what is meant to be the vision of some, the Church of God.

There, in the Sanctuary that should have been holy and dedicated exclusively to the Godhead, people somehow found the ‘perfect’ mechanisms by which to keep their fellow men under strict control; using all sorts of tricks the feelings and emotions preached with verve, but which when looked at carefully and analytically do not make the slightest spiritual sense.

Although this statement may seem surprising, looking closely at both the world and the Church’s Institution, we will understand the bankruptcy in which most of us lead our lives; People who are under pressure have completely changed their view of the life of faith and have fallen into the trap of thanking and worshiping their fellow human beings to the detriment of the Creator of the world, who should actually be the epicenter of our daily mentality and actions. mechanically spoken name to sound good).

But God’s word is clear and precise when it comes to how we relate to one another and then to divinity:

I quote: ‘It is better to seek refuge in the Lord than to trust in man’! – I have finished the quote from Psalm 118: 8

If, therefore, we have imagined the world to be dependent on us and others, we must now learn that the only way in which life makes sense is through Jesus Christ.
He, the God of God, incarnated not only to make us obedient slaves of fear, but in His goodness and elegance as an eternal Father, He became our brother, because He wanted us and wants us to be His trusted partners (emissaries of Peace), together with which to administer His whole creation.

Choose God and you will feel the difference.

Thought of the day:

The fundamental trait of true believers is to transcribe into the practice of their lives the whole divine mentality and faith, values ​​which they have understood and which they have knowingly chosen to follow. They are most often simple people but devoted to the true faith, like those who, by their ethical, moral, and righteous conduct, are brilliantly qualified to receive the title of ‘children of God.’

This particular kind of Christian, unfortunately less and less common, is easily distinguished from the ‘mouths’ of our postmodern world, where we meet everywhere people who try to convince themselves that only by easily declaring things they do not I understand they will reach the Glory of God.

These so-called ‘Christians’ did not know him, do not follow him, and will never see the Creator as a co-owner of His Kingdom, but on the contrary, when they realize that they have sold an eternity for a few moments of ‘pseudo-happiness’ will weep bitterly.

Why do I say that? Because the direction that the Bible clearly sets for each of us when it comes to authoritatively regulating the life of faith is dermal:

I quote, ‘Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.’ I have concluded the quote from the Epistle of James 1:22

Analyzed in parallel, the true heirs of the heavenly Glory reveal the true treasures of the divine mentality.

They are content not only with brief information, passive listening, or the reading of the Word of Truth from time to time, but also because it is traditional to apply all Bible knowledge to the daily practice of their lives. you can only reach the paradise of God after living a Holy life!

In fact, in his distinguished plea, the Apostle James continues this idea by reminding us that only those who will look deeper into the perfect law of freedom and more than that will persist in it, not as forgetful listeners. but as doers of the work, they shall be happy in all their works. ‘

Thought of the day:

“God strengthens man’s steps when he likes his way; if he falls, he will not be overthrown, for the Lord takes him by the hand. ‘ (Psalm 37: 23-24); it is the message that the Bible reminds us today that we are not alone even though black clouds seem to have fallen on our lives.

Going through the twisting paths of life, we have often found ourselves looking for allies and supporters among those like us; simple people or people with a vase, but who would give us a helping hand to quickly overcome the difficulties, needs or trials that had knocked on our door.

However, by carefully and diligently analyzing the message that the Bible conveys to mankind today, we find one of the forgotten secrets that seems to be under the guise of the older generations, but through which we can overcome our needs; namely, taking him as an ally of God himself.

But in order to have God on our side, we must first endeavor to adopt the pure mentality of the righteous faith, thus remaining on the path of truth; without straying either to the right or to the left from the will of our Creator.

Viewed from a practical perspective, this goal translates into a moral and ethical life, in which the Holy Spirit of God is in control of the decisions of each one of us.

Wherever you are today, do not hesitate to try this beautiful practice of victorious people, because sitting next to God, joy and happiness will never leave you, and the small trials of life will quickly find their solution.

Thought of the day:

‘Behave in the midst of the Gentiles, that in the things which they speak against you as evildoers, by your good works which they see, they may glorify God in the day of their search.’ are the precious counsels of the Apostle Peter, (1 Peter 2:12); advice that should on the one hand make us responsible and on the other hand prepare us for the virulent reactions of a world allergic to holiness and especially to practical Christianity.

Why do I say that? Because living in a society whose values ​​are corrupt and carry a duplicitous and most often contorted “truth,” any deed springing from the good heart of a true Christian will inevitably be viewed with suspicion and malice by others, for that today’s humanity has educated itself in accepting evil with open arms, but rejecting as a pariah the true ‘goodness’ of God.

Probably each of us has gone through and still go through specific states of sadness and frustration, generated by the lack of gratitude for the kindness we have shown from the heart of our fellow human beings.

However, we must continue to shine in the spiritual darkness of contemporaneity, because the Bible teaches us today to be different from the common note of society and to do only what is good in this world.

And what would be the logic of such an attitude? you might be wondering.

Because seeing the consistency of our words in the practice of life, and especially of the way in which they are transcribed into deeds of goodness, distributed to all generously, people who today look at us perhaps with suspicion, find in their research a way to the light of truth. .

Where you are, do not let yourself be overcome by evil, but overcome evil today by goodness, because you were made to rise above all and to be a point of reference over the centuries; but this can only be done through self-sacrifice.

Thought of the day:

By carefully analyzing the trend of contemporary Christianity and at the same time the practices of the postmodern church, we cannot fail to notice the great discrepancy between the faith and values ​​that God left us with the letter of the law, and the daily practices of modern Christianity; the one who proudly and on a large scale calls himself a rightful follower of the Lord Jesus!

Where did I go wrong? And how did I derail so far from the truth? these are questions that should resonate in the analytical minds of each of us.

The answer also comes from God:
‘If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.’ Matthew 16:24

According to the teachings of the Bible, being an authentic Christian actually means detaching yourself from the worldly mindset, lusts, and desires; and this is not easy, for to renounce yourself is perhaps the most difficult practice of life.

Then, after you have gotten out of control of your own selfishness, it is imperative to anchor yourself in God, to take up your cross, (which is by no means a little gem hanging around your neck, but a test of spiritual maturity, which few pass today) and then follow in the footsteps of Christ – not a very comfortable element in the life of the Church today.

Reading these lines, you may wonder why such a strict approach to the life of faith is necessary, given that the God we follow claimed to be the source of goodness and love.

The answer is simple and concise, and is clearly found in the teachings of the Lord Jesus:

‘He that taketh not his cross, and followeth not me,’ said he, ‘is not worthy of me.’

Understanding, then, that we cannot inherit the kingdom of heaven without becoming like God, absorbing his teachings, and practicing them without denial every day, we must prove today that we too are following the true path of truth: to be better and more believers, showing the world around us the good light of righteousness.

Dare to believe! You can be the spark that can rekindle the flame of faith in this dark world!
