THE CHARGE: WHAT will you be doing this FALL for GOD? just coming to church won't cut it... He expects more.. and I'll be talking about how Open Door can encourage and help YOU. You need to make a difference and be, love, and serve in your world...
Do you believe in God or do you believe GOD?
Do you believe in God or do you believe GOD?

RT @lrmartinjr: Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservations.
“If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.” – Abraham Maslow (1908-1970)
A champion is a recipient, a celebrant, and an active agent into the future.
DO YOU ACT LIKE A "specific, beloved, first born child of Christ" - a CHAMPION?

God has reserved a priceless inheritance for his children. It is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 1 Peter 1:4 (NLT)
What benefits do we inherit? As children in God’s family we are given “the riches ... of his grace ... kindness ... patience ... glory ... wisdom ... power ... and mercy” (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 2:4; 9:23; 11:33; Ephesians 3:16; 2:4). We also inherit eternal life and God puts his Spirit inside us now as a guarantee of all that is to come. What an inheritance! You are far richer than you realize, which is why Paul could write with confidence: “My God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19 NIV). Your eternal inheritance is priceless, pure, permanent, and protected; no one can take it from you. It can’t be destroyed by war, a poor economy, or disaster. This inheritance, not retirement, is what you should be looking forward to; retirement is a shortsighted goal. |
