Don't Worry, BE HAPPY!!!!

                                    Don't Worry Be Happy

                                                                      Noah Olson

A title of a song that you all might know. Many tell you "oh don't worry, just be happy and everything will be ok." Something easier said than done. I want to look at how we as Christians can rejoice and how we can live a life of less worry. Notice I said less worry. We probably won't ever be free from worry until we gain Heaven, but today the goal of this devotional is to simply understand that we don't have to put our trust in the world but to God.

       Firstly, to have a life of less worry and stress, we need understand that God will be with us and take care of us. Look at what Jesus had to say in Matthew 6:25-34. He is simply explaining to us that we need not worry, for God will be with us. Still easy to tell, hard to do. God will be with us for nothing can separate the love of God from us (Romans 8:38-39). We need to acknowledge that God will be with us even through the hard times and will take care of us for we are worth far more than anything God has created (Matthew 6:26)

Secondly, we Christians have much to rejoice in. We have the hope of Heaven for one (1 Jn 5:13). We can know that we have Heaven and should rejoice because it is ours if we want it. We have so much to rejoice in:
Family and Christian friends
The Word of God
Elders and Deacons
Free from condemnation if we are faithful

We are so blessed with many things why do we worry? Because the devil tempts us with doubt. We need rejoice in the Lord alway and keep on doing it. (Philippians 4:4)

Our last point today, is ironic. Above I just told you to not worry but rejoice. Now I'm going to tell you about something you should worry about. That is our soul! If we are to be selfish about one thing in our life, let it be your soul. Keep your soul. Guard your soul. Don't let anyone take it from you. We need worry where are soul is going. How can we fix that worry?? By obeying the gospel and living according to it. We can live a life less worry and a  more happy one  only if we obey God's will. Not saying it will be perfect, but the outcome is tremendously wonderful.

Revalation 2:10 (commentary)

“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.” The second and third chapters of the book of Revelation are letters to the Seven churches of Asia. These letters were pinned by the apostle John, but Jesus is the one speaking to them (Revelation 1:11). The letter of our text was written to the church of Smyrna.  The book of Revelation was God’s final inspired book of His word. It has one theme that rings out through the whole book, victory. Christ’s intent in the letters to the churches was to encourage the congregations on what they were doing and to rebuke them on the things that they were not doing. He also used these letters to warn congregations about what they were going to be going through, which is what another main point of Revelation is. It was written around AD 96 on the island of Patmos. Ma

Two Benefits of Being a Christian

                            Two Benefits To Being a Christian                                                                         Noah Olson Something that only Christians can expirience. Something that is of joy. Something we will talk about today. Today I have chosen two benefits we Christians have that the world cannot have. I want to focus on what the joys of being of the church are, and how maybe by those joys we can turn others to Christ. Firstly and simply, we Christians are condemned to Hell no more. Now...... let us be careful with this phrase, for in more simpler terms only those who endure to the end will be saved. As Romans 8:1 says There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Only those who live unto Christ Jesus will not go to Hell. Now this verse does not prove the doctrine of "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED" but simply tells us that we Christians if we are faithful UNTIL dea
