Something to look forward to!
By: Robert A. Searles

What are we Christians looking forward to today? As we begin this new day which God has given to us, do we have something to hope for, something that has been promised to us that we can with assurance look forward to?

We all ought to be looking for Jesus to come. What a glorious morning that will be when : "the trump shall sound and the dead in Christ shall arise and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4: 16,17.

We ought to be diligently scanning the heavens," looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." Titus 2: 13,14. 

Meanwhile, as we wait and watch , and long for his coming, we ought to occupy until he comes as good soldiers and ambassadors. "Denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world." Titus 2: 12.

Let us rejoice and be glad. There is a great day coming when we shall enjoy the fruits of our labor, but rejoice today for this is the day that the Lord hath made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it because this is the day that we still have opportunity to labor for the master so that when the bridegroom comes we will have oil in our lamps, trimmed and ready to meet him.

Grace – Mercy – Peace

 Thought For Today – June 7,2025
Grace – Mercy – Peace
 By: Robert A Searles

     To every Christian believer is given grace, mercy, and peace, from
God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.

     Grace: God pours out upon us his unmerited favor because he loves us.  He gives us all the good things from his storehouse of compassion and love, even though we deserve none of it.  “God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not  perish but have everlasting  life.” John 3:16.

  “For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of  yourselves: it is a gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast “Ephesians 2: 8,9.

  God has promised to make his grace sufficient for us to meet our every need.  “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” - this is grace.  God is the giver, we are the receivers of all things freely to enjoy in Christ- this is grace.  We are joint heirs with Christ forever, though by nature we are outlaws from the kingdom of God – this is  grace. Oh, my friend, when God wraps his arms around the prodigal, and puts a ring on his finger, and a robe on his back, this is God's amazing grace.

     In mercy God shields us and puts a hedge around us to protect us from judgment, and wrath, and the results of our own folly.  God keeps from us by his mercy, the things that we deserve.  He keeps from us the wages which we have earned.  “The wages of sin is death”. But by grace he gives us the gift of life. 

     What person can ever really fathom the depth of God's love and mercy?  How many of us really know how close we may at any given time have come to complete disaster except for the mercy of God?  Oh Lord we thank you for your mercy which has  kept from us our just deserts.

 Oh the peace of God that passes all human understanding when our hearts are right with God and in proper fellowship with him-Peace with God and the peace of God that assures our hearts that all is well with my soul, and there is nothing between my soul and my Savior.

     Thank you dear Lord this day for your grace, mercy, and peace.

Where is our faith?

 
Thought For Today - June 6, 2025
Where is our faith?
By: Robert A. Searles

I am the Lord's and he is mine. "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen" 11 Timothy 4: 18.

Regardless of the afflictions and fiery trials that we must pass through in the course of our lifetime here on earth, we who believe God's word have the assurance that we will be delivered from the workers of iniquity and every evil work, and we will ultimately find ourselves safe and secure in the heavenly kingdom.

Jesus was in the boat with his disciples, and he commanded them to depart for the other side of the lake, and though they encountered a storm at sea that all but overwhelmed them, the die had been cast and the decree had been given to depart to the other coast. When the disciples, being afraid in the midst of the storm, awoke our Lord from sleep, he asked them: "Where is your faith?" 

Christian brother and sister, let us take a good look at our situation. It may be at the moment we are almost completely overwhelmed by our "storm at sea", as it were, our problems, our fears and fiery trials; but where is our faith? We have the infallible, unfailing word of God which assures us that the Lord will carry us safely to the other shore.

"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. the Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. the Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore." Psalm 121

Lovers Of Ourselves!

Thought For Today –May 5, 2025

Lovers Of Ourselves!

By: Robert A.Searles

We are warned from the scriptures - “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” 2 Timothy 3: 1-5.

This describes the world in which we live today; but if we are truly Christians, and in love with Christ, it should not be descriptive of us.

As we examine this passage of scripture, if it can be said that any of these things are true of us, then it is time that we fall on our knees and repent of our sins and get right with God. We who have at one time experienced the love and grace of God being poured out upon us ought to know better.

Child of God, it is expected of us as the dear Children of God that we - “Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; and that from a chiold thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith whidch is in Christ Jesus.”2 Timothy 3: 14-15.

My Defense Is Of God!

 

Thought For Today – June 3, 2025

My Defense Is Of God!

By: Robert A Searles

My defense is of God which saves the upright In heart. I am glad that God looks on the heart of man. God knows our hearts, he knows if there has ever been a time when we, from our hearts, have cried out to him in sorrowful repentance of our sins and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and received him into our hearts as Lord and Savior. We can judge no man, for we cannot know what is deep in the heart of any man, only God can know that; but if we believe that our own heart is right with God, then we can rightly say that our defense is of God, and knowing that God's word is sure and steadfast we can agree wtih God that he is angry at the wicked every day.

We ought to be good evangelists and sound forth the warning that all may hear what God has proclaimed to all - “That God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.” Psalm 7: 11-13..

The arrows of God's judgment, aimed at the wicked, are already set and under the pressure of a bent bow. Only God's mercy and long suffering prevents the release of God's arrows of judgment.

God is merciful and kind, not willing to pour out wrath, but to bathe us in love. We all ought to examine our own heart very carefully to see if we are among the wicked in heart, or if our hearts are right toward God so that we may say, my defense is of God.

Study to show thyself approved!

Study to show thyself approved!
By: Robert A Searles

"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2: 15.

This is one area where many of us who are Christians are disobedient, and of course, all disobedience is sin. The bible commands the believer to search and study the scriptures daily to see if the things we hear are really true, lest we be led astray and deceived by false doctrine. God has given us the written word to be a compass for our lives, to lead us through uncharted seas. "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a guide unto my path." Psalm 119: 105.

Many times we wander out of the will of God because we do not mediate on the Word of God to know what his will is for us. If we search the scriptures, we shall find , if we knock, it shall be opened unto us. If we ask in faith, we shall receive.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect , thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3: 16.17

If any of us have been negligent in this area of our lives and are not actively engaged in the study of the scriptures, we ought to confess this to God that we might be forgiven of this sin and get back into the perfect will of God as he instructs us from his word.

Abundantly blessed ?

 
Thought For Today - June 1, 2025
Abundantly blessed ?
By: Robert A. Searles

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ. Are you one of those persons whom God has blessed over and abundantly more than you could ever expect? Are you rich in the things of this world? Do you own a large estate? Do you have houses and lands, and bank accounts at your disposal to do with as you wish? Have you attained a high degree of education, and do your peers look upon you with great admiration for your apparent success? I must warn you to take heed that you do not glorify yourself and pat yourself on the back, as it were, for having attained these things, because, but for the grace of our living Savior, you would have nothing and you could become nothing.

The bible says: "Men of corrupt minds and destitute of truth, suppose that gain is godliness." 1 Timothy 6: 5. But the real truth of the matter is that: "Godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out, and having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, o man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness." 1 Timothy 6-11

"Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy." 1 Timothy 6: 17

Guilty But blameless!
By: Robert A. Searles

My Father, the best that I know how as a human being, I love you because you have first loved me. You have poured out your love and tender mercies upon me, and while I was yet a sinner, Christ came into the world to save sinners. Christ died for my sins, he was buried and rose again according to the scriptures. Now because of your wonderful grace, I am set free from the burden of sin. I am out of Satan's prison, and I am on my way to heaven to claim my inheritance as a joint heir with Christ.

No one can bring an accusation against me for : "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus." I am guilty but blameless because you have borne the guilt and the shame of my iniquity upon yourself.

Thank you dear Lord for this wonderful gift of grace, and help me this day to live for you so that you might receive praise and glory and honor through my life. Thank you for Jesus, my Savior, my friend, my brother. thank you for the Holy Spirit, my comforter, constant companion and never failing guide. Thank you for your Word and your promises which cannot fail.

This Could Be the Day!

This Could Be the Day!
By Robert A. Searles

This could be the day that the Lord will return. At any moment, at any hour of the day or night, the trumpet could sound and the dead in Christ arise, and we which are alive and remain would be caught up to meet them in the air, and so would we ever be with the Lord.

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 4: 16, 17.

What a glorious day to look forward to! When Christ shall come for his own; when we shall see him as he is; when death and sickness and disease and sorrow will be abolished forever. Loved ones who have gone before us who have died in Christ we shall see again around the throne of God.

If this should be the day, are we ready? Is there oil in our lamp? Do we have on a wedding garment? Are we prepared to meet the bridegroom? Are our lives consecrated to the Lord Jesus?

"Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober." 1 Thessalonians 5; 6.

"Even so, come quickly Lortd Jesus"

Let us keep oil in our lamps and our wicks trimmed.

Called to Holiness!

Called to Holiness!

By: Robert A. Searles

"For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness." 1 Thessalonians 4: 7. Therefore we should not use the liberty which we as Christians have in Christ as a license to live carelessly, wallowing again in the mire of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We ought to seek a higher plateau of living. We ought to approve of excellence, and we ought to strive to live godly as our Father would have us to live. For he has told us: "be ye holy as I am holy".
Not that we need to be arrogant and haughty, spiritually proud Christians walking around with a chip on our shoulder, for God hates a haughty spirit and a proud look; but in all meekness and love toward one another, we ought to always be aware of the great price that was paid for our redemption, and be always aware of the name we bear, lest we, by our lives blaspheme and disgrace his Holy name.
Our reasonable service to God is that we yield our bodies to him, and not only our bodies, but our minds and soul also so that we might truly be his Holy temple. That he might through us and in us live his life to perfection and that he might be glorified.
Lord we pray that you will cleanse us from within, help us to be Holy. Sanctify us and let us live on a plain of life that is fit for a king, in fact, for the King of Kings, the Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to please thee in all our ways.

What shall I render unto the Lord ?

 

 Thought for Today - May 28, 2025

 What shall I render unto the Lord ?

By: Robert A. Searles

"What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me? Psalm 116: 12 How can I ever repay the Lord for his great love and kindness which he shows toward me? I can't! There is no way that I could ever come close to repaying God for all his benefits. What ,then ,shall I do, seeing how much I owe God? "I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." Psalm 116: 13-15.
As the psalmist said: I will gladly, and with much thankfulness receive the gift of salvation which God has given to me, and I will gladly be his servant, and allow him to use me and to continue his work through me, which he has begun, until he comes again and restores all things.
God loves us, and wants not our destruction ,or for us to be incapacitated, but he desires that we should live for him and bear much fruit for his glory. As a token of our gratitude then ,to God for all his benefits, Let us continually offer him the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the name of the Lord, and render our service to him with joyfulness and praise.

That we might have the mind of God!

By: Robert A. Searles

Oh! that we might have the mind of God , that we his creatures might think his thoughts and know his will, and enjoy his wisdom. If we are the born again children of God, the scriptures tell us that we have been given the mind of Christ in a measure, and we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be enlightened in the knowledge of God. God has revealed his thoughts to us in the written Word of God which we have at our disposal to read and to meditate . If we want the mind of Christ, then first of all we must become the children of God through faith in the finished work of Christ at Calvary for our redemption, for God does not give his mind to strangers who will not believe him.

"The natural man understandeth not the things of God, neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned."
If we will diligently search the scriptures, and pray and meditate day and night , and if we will seek him with the whole heart, then God will reveal to us all that he wants us to know. Some knowledge is too high for us now while we are mere earthlings, but when we reach heaven, all things will be shown to us.
"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word." Psalm 119: 9. "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me." Psalm 119: 18,19.

Be not a scoffer!

By: Robert A. Searles

Proud and haughty man, thou art who scorneth the word of God, know you not, Oh small and insignificant entity in comparison with the whole, that it was the Word of God that established the heavens and the earth and created you ? At the command of the Word of God there was light, and the light over came the darkness.
My dear friend, as an ambassador of Christ on earth, I want to warn you, if you by chance read these words and your first inclination is to scoff at, and scorn the Word of God. --According to the very Word of God, you will not be dead a split second before you will be lamenting the fact that you did not take heed to the Word of God when it warned you that you, like all men, have sinned and come short of the glory of God, for all have sinned. There is none righteous, no, not one. The wages of sin is death, and my friend, you will find at that hour that hell is no joke, but a very real place as Jesus described it, as a garbage dump, whose fire is unquenchable, a place which has been prepared for the Devil and his angels and for all who will scoff at the Word of God.
My friend if you will believe and adhere to the Word of God, there is a brighter and happier side. As "The wages of sin is death" so, "The gift of God is eternal life " through Jesus Christ his son, our Lord. "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved" from this day forth and forever.

What Are We Doing For The Lord?

By: Robert A. Searles

Are we using the resources and gifts which God has bestowed upon us for his glory and honor, or are we misusing them for our own glory, or are we hiding them in the ground as did the servant mentioned by Christ in the gospel of Matthew Chapter 25: 14-30 ?

We have all been given talents and abilities, all differing according to the will of God. Some day we will be asked, where is the talent and ability that was given to you? According to what we have done, and how we have trusted and obeyed , and according to our faithfulness or unfaithfulness we will have to answer to our Lord.
How wonderful on that day would it be for our Lord to put his hand on our shoulder and say to us, well done thou good and faithful servant, but how ashamed we will be if we are found empty handed at that day with no crowns to place at our savior's feet.
Let each of us , therefore: "Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfill it. “Colossians 4: 17.

Pray For Revival!

By: Robert A. Searles

"Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen."
My Father, I pray that thou will rekindle and ignite the fire of revival in my heart. I pray that thou will cleanse me from all my iniquity. Create in me O God, a clean heart and pure mind and renew a right spirit within me. I pray that thou wilt create a new hunger and thirst for thy word, and that I will desire more of thy fellowship. I pray that I will have a greater love and concern for all the brethren and children of God. Restore to me, O Lord, the joys of my salvation, and grant me a greater zeal for soul winning. Let me be all that you have meant for me to be, and let me approve all things which are excellent which will bring honor and glory to thy name. Teach me O Lord to pray continually and without ceasing. Teach me to walk constantly with the blessed Holy Spirit, and open a door of utterance for me that I might make it manifest as I ought to speak. Help me to walk in wisdom toward those that are without, redeeming the time. Let my speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that I may know how I might answer every man. If any man lack wisdom let him ask of God who giveth liberally and upbraideth not." James 1: 5.

A Dream Come True.

By: Robert A Searles

Have you ever had a dream come true? Have you ever had something wonderful happen to you that was beyond your fondest dreams and expectations? If you are one of us who have been saved and truly born again, you have had this happen to you. For once God's grace has been poured out to you, and you have been enabled by faith to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and have received him as your Lord and savior, and you know that all your sins have been forgiven and that you are on your way to heaven, your weeping is turned to laughter; your mourning has been turned to joy; and for the first time in your life you are set free. When the Lord turned your captivity to freedom, it seemed almost too good to be true. It seemed like a dream, and oh , the joy that filled your heart, and you wanted to jump up and shout the glad tidings and tell the whole world.
We are so happy over what has happened to us that we want to go and tell the whole world. We sorrow for those who remain in captivity to Satan, and we go out to sow the seed of the good news of the gospel in tears, knowing that by the grace and the power of God, we shall doubtless come again rejoicing, bringing our sheaves with us, as we are promised in the word of God.
Oh, what a dream has come true for all of us who have put our trust in Jesus, that sin and death would have no more power over us, and he has turned our captivity and made us to be partakers of his glory in his heavenly kingdom.
"When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing, then said they among the heathen, the Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the south. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Psalm 126 1-6.

To Know God Better!

If I knew God the way that David knew God I could praise him as David did. Oh! To be a man after God's own heart even as David was said to be: To be absolutely sure that "The Lord is my shepherd, and that I shall not want, he maketh me to lie down in green pastures." Psalm 23
Faith to believe is a gift of God, and God gives to every man a measure of this precious commodity as he sees fit. To walk closely with God, one must be clean inside and out.
"Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing form the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation." Psalm 24: 3-5
Jesus Christ , whose blood was shed to be the propitiation for our sins has imputed to us his righteousness, and we can now stand before God, guilty, but blameless. This is our access to God the Father and close communion with him.

Have Faith In God
By: Robert A. Searles   
     “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall  be able to quench all the fiery  darts of  the wicked.” Ephesians 6: 16.
     God honors the faith of the believer towards himself.  We are justified by faith and the just shall live by faith.
 Faith toward God is resting our confidence on him who is invisible whom we have not seen, but believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of all them that diligently seek him.  Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness.
  Confidence in the reality of God and his goodness will enable us to put aside all doubts and fears, and the fiery darts of the wicked, and give us the strength and power we need to overcome the world.
 By faith in God the Red  Sea was crossed successfully by the Israelites; by faith in God many victories have been won.  By faith in God we who are his children shall arrive safely on the opposite shore and see Jesus and be reunited with those who have gone before.  Have faith in God, he cannot fail.  Have faith dear friend in God.

Go About Doing Good!

By: Robert A. Searles

As Christ our Lord went about doing good, we Christians ought to be continuing the work and ministry of our Lord by going about doing good. Christ was in the world offering salvation to all who would believe and receive him. He gave rest to the weary and comforted the lonely; he healed the sick and raised the dead, and brought new hope to the hopeless. We ought to continue doing all that God will give us the power to do so that Christ's work and ministry might continue through us. God may not give us the power to heal the sick or raise the dead (he could if it was his purpose) but he has commissioned us to offer salvation to the lost through his name and to bear one another's burdens, and to share one another's sorrows and joys, and to make life easier for those around us. We ought to be so secure in our own salvation and the love of God that we can forget ourselves and concentrate on the needs of others .
"With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free." Ephesians 6:7,8.
God will be no man's debtor, we cannot out give or out serve our Lord.
When we go about doing good in the service of the Lord, we will find ourselves in a combat zone with all the forces of the devil and evil against us. We must put on the armor and use all the defenses that God has provided for us.
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand." Ephesians 6:10-13.

 Leaders in the Home!

By: Robert A. Searles

    Christian husbands, you ought to assume full leadership of your home. All decisions should finally rest upon you as the head of your household as God has ordained it, and you ought to pray that God will give you wisdom in making those decisions, because you will be held responsible to God for what becomes of your wife and family spiritually as well as physically. You ought to love your wife even as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it.
    As the church is the body of Christ on earth, so your wife is part of yourself. When she hurts, you ought to hurt. Her concerns ought to be your concerns. Her spiritual and physical welfare ought to be your chief concern next to loving and serving God.
    The one who walks beside you as your life companion; the one who sits at your table; the one who makes your home comfortable and cheerful for you; The one who sleeps in your bed, raises your children, and nurses you when you are sick is a precious gift from God your Father and ought to be honored and treasured as such.
    "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church , and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband." Ephesians 5:22-33.

To Serve Him!

To Serve Him!
By: Robert A. Searles

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10.

When God created us his purpose was that we should be instruments in his hands which he could use to fulfill his purpose, and bring glory to himself. When we yield ourselves to him to do his bidding, we find great satisfaction, and our joy and happiness is fulfilled. Though we are all sinners and have come short of the glory of God, God has provided a way by which we can be forgiven and reconciled to him by receiving Jesus Christ as our sin bearer and Savior.

The word of God teaches us that every saved, born again child of God is given at least one spiritual gift whereby we can minister as ministering servants so that we might show forth the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all men see the glory of God. We ought to ask God to reveal to us the one or more gifts which he has assigned to us, and ask God to help us to develop it so that we might bear fruit for him.

It was always God's will that the gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partake of his promise in Christ by the gospel whereof Paul says: "I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Unto me who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ and to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God according to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: in whom we have boldness and access with confidence by faith of him. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulation for you which is your glory." Ephesians 3:6-13.

It is God's will that those around us in the world hear the gospel so that they too might see and know of the unsearchable riches of Christ. We are responsible to God to use the gifts he has given us to make this a reality. With the gift, God gives the boldness and confidence to utilize it for his glory.
If we will yield ourselves to him -  "God is able to do with us, exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us." Ephesians 3:20.

Someone said to D L Moody: "It has not yet been seen what God could do with a man or woman who was totally yielded to him." Moody is reported to have said: "By God's grace, I want to be that man." Moody went ahead and won two continents to Christ.

The power that worketh in us is the person of the Holy Spirit, and when one is willing to yield himself to the guidance and leadership of the Holy Spirit, he can be filled with all the fullness of God.

 "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his spirit in the inner man: That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.. Amen" Ephesians 3:16-21.

Take Heed!

Thought for Today - May 15, 2025
Take Heed!
By: Robert A Searles

     Jesus said:  “Take heed that no man deceive you.” Matthew24: 4.  To take heed means to be careful, to be discerning, to analyze carefully what we hear from others, to see if what we are  hearing is indeed according to truth.  We hear many voices all the time.  There are many so called experts in every field of endeavor offering their seminars of advice, but we need to be very careful when we listen  to the advice of experts in the field of religion and theology lest we be led away from scriptural truth and be swayed by every word of false doctrines.  Search the scriptures daily to determine if what you  are hearing is indeed scriptural truth. 

 This also applies to  any other area of our lives.  There are many counselors in many different areas of life, but be careful of whom you take advice on any subject.

God's word tells us that: “Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, nor standeth in the way of sinners, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, in his law doth he mediate day and night, he shall be like a tree planted by the river of waters, his leaf shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Psalm 1:1. 2

Are We Ready?

Thought For Today - May 14, 202

 Are We Ready?

By: Roberr A  Searles

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, not so, lest there be not enough for us and you: But go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And when they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the son of man cometh." Matthew 25:1-13.
Fellow Christians, if Jesus should return suddenly, or we should be called home without warning, would we find no oil in our lamps? Has the fire of enthusiasm for the Lord gone out? Are we so wrapped up in the things of the world that we fail to keep our lamps trimmed and the spiritual fire burning and a light shinning in the window for the Lord?
The time will come when any further service for the Lord and preparation for his coming will be too late. the door will be shut, and those who beg to come in will be told "I know you not". Therefore, we must not let a day go by that we do not spend quality time in fellowship with the Lord, by reading and studying his word and praying, etc. Let us keep our lamp trimmed and oil in our lamps lest he come at an hour when we think not, and we be found not to be ready and the door closed upon us.

What Is Our Besetting Sin?

What Is Our Besetting Sin?

By: Robert A Searles

A child of God ought not to be a fornicator, nor a whoremonger, nor have a mind filled with garbage and unclean thoughts and attitudes; but neither should he be covetous, nor an idolater. All these sins are grouped together and seem to carry the same weight of importance with God. One may frown on a person who has pre-marital or extra marital sex relations, but that same person may be given to covetousness and idol worship, and an idol is any thing that occupies the place in the heart and mind that God ought to occupy.
"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks." Ephesians 5: 3,4.
You who do not have a mind filled with filthy thoughts, and do not gossip, and do not tell dirty jokes, and look with contempt on those who do, what does occupy the place in your mind, that these forbidden things occupy in the mind of others? Is it covetousness? Is it a longing and desire for things that God has not seen fit to grant you? Do you spend all your time and energy thinking of the things that you don't have , but would give anything to possess? Or is your mind occupied with thoughts of God and his righteousness and his coming kingdom? And are you busy giving thanks for all the blessings that God has already bestowed upon you?
"For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." Ephesians 5: 5.
Beware dear Christian brother or sister, and I speak to myself as well as you, covetousness and idolatry will bar you from the kingdom of God just as much as fornication and adultery will.

Walk Not As Others!

Thought For Today - May 12, 2025
Walk Not As Others!
By: Robert A. Searles

We Christians who have been saved and enlightened by the Holy Spirit ought not to walk as others in the world who have not known God. Our lifestyle ought to be different according to the knowledge of God that has been given to us by the grace of God, through the Holy Spirit. Our conversation, or lifestyle ought to become more Christ like every day and less carnal. There ought to be a different attitude in our heart, a different cadence to our walk, and a different destiny and purpose for our lives.

"This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ: If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. and be renewed in the spirit of your mind: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: For we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you with all malice. And be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." Ephesians 4: 17-32

Reason to Rejoice!

Reason to Rejoice!
By: Robert A. Searles

We have good reason to rejoice and be glad in the Lord because, although we live in an environment that is evil and corrupted by sin, God has given his redeemed a robe of righteousness and crowned him with jewels, waiting for God's springtime to come. He has promised us, and we are reminded when we see the first signs of spring on earth -  the buds on the trees; the flowers breaking through the ground; that God's righteousness will also spring forth in the earth and God's righteousness will prevail.

"I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all nations." Isaiah 61: 10,11.

All Of Grace!

All Of Grace!
By: Robert A. Searles

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them ." Ephesians 2: 8,9,10.

God saved us because he wanted to, not because he had to. He saved us because he loves us, because he created us for himself unto good works. He saved us because he is not willing that any should perish. Our salvation is by grace, through faith alone. He imparted unto us the faith to believe the gospel and to call upon Christ to save us.

At one time we were without God in the world, having no hope; but while we were lost, while we were yet sinners, Christ came to save us, as many as will believe and receive him as Lord and Savior. -
"But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances: for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace: and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: and came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. For through him we both have access by one spirit unto the Father. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God through the spirit." Ephesians 2: 13-22.

Both Jew and gentile are invited by God the Father to partake of his grace, and receive Christ as Savior, and become part of his one body, the church, and enjoy his benevolence forever.

The Lord Hath Need of You!

The Lord Hath Need of You!
By: Robert A. Searles

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shinneth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not,." John: 1; 1-5.

Jesus and his disciples drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and when they had come as far as Bethpage, and the mount of olives, Jesus had need of an ass and its' colt, that he might humbly ride into Jerusalem as prophesied by Zechariah: 

"Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout O daughter of Jerusalem: behold thy king cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt, the foal of an ass." Zechariah 9:9.

Because of his divine power and knowledge, Jesus knew where to send his disciples to find the ass, and the colt. He knew where they were, because in his plan and purpose, he had made them, as he had made all things, and he had placed them at this particular time and place to be used for this special purpose. No one disputed his right to use them for his divine purpose because they were his from the beginning.

Likewise -  "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10. 

Therefore, he has made each of us and has placed us in our particular place and callings and has a right to use us as he has need of us to fulfill his purpose and glory.We ought to be willing to be used by our Lord for anything that he has need of that will bring glory and honor to him, and ultimate happiness to ourselves.

"And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethpage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying unto them, go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, tell ye the daughter of Sion, behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them." Matthew 21:1-6.

Once I was lost!
By: Robert A. Searles

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in times past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now walketh in the children of disobedience: among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace are ye saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2: 1-7.

Once I was lost, but now I am found; once I was blind, but now I can see; Once I was a slave of Satan, but now I am a willing servant of Christ; once I had nothing that would endure. Now I am a joint heir with Christ to forever sit with him in heavenly places and enjoy his wealth and the fatness of his house forever. All by grace through faith, not of works that I should boast but by his mercy he saved me.
Thank you Lord.
