The Importance Of Christian Family

First of all, I wanna look at the importance of relying on our Christian family. As we see often, it is hard when our earthly families are not Christians. I feel like we all struggle with that to different extents. That is why it is so great to have a Christian family to help. Because in the long run, they are your true family, as in they are your family here and will be your family in Heaven.
Hebrews 10:24-25
This is just one of the reasons it is so essential that we are here. I know I’ve had weeks where I may be discouraged, but then after coming here and being around Christians, it helps me get through my week. 
Galatians 6:1-2 
We need to be willing to reach out to Christians when we need help with our burdens and we need to be willing to help with other Christians struggles.
1 Peter 2:17 Love the Brotherhood.
1 John 4:11-12 
We need to make sure we are truly showing that love to each other. Not just saying it, but showing it. 
Ephesians 2:19 
We see here that we are fellow citizens and of the household of God. We are a family. We need to make sure that we treat each other like that. 
While there are many more things I could cover with this, I want to look at examples we see in the New Testament of the church showing that love and being a family.

Examples in the Bible.

Acts 2:44-47
Even at the beginning of the church, we see how much they really care for and loved their fellow Christians that they were willing to sell their own possessions to make sure that their brothers and sisters in Christ had what they needed. They didn’t even know some of the people that they were selling their things for, but they showed that love to each other because of the bond they had. Paul talks about that in 
Galatians 6:10
We also see how Paul feels about his Christian family,
2 Tim 1:16-17 We see the friendship they had toward each other.
Phil 1:3-6, 27
The love he had towards different brothers and sisters in Christ and the way they were striving together is a great example of how we should be towards each other. 

So in closing, I hope you have learned how to better love your Christian family and realize the importance of them. Not having family members there for you in life or especially in your spiritual life can be very difficult, but that is why it is so important to have a strong bond with your Christian family.

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

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

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
