LORD, LORD ACTS16:31

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

   Yesterday our topic was confession - to confess our sins and believe.  At the end our topic for today was stated LORD.  Do you know what it is to call someone LORD?  The definitions of LORD by Webster:

      1: one having power and authority over others: a :             a ruler by hereditary right or preeminence to whom service and obedience are due           b : one of whom a fee or estate is held in feudal tenure             c : an owner of land or other real property        
    In each of these definitions - someone is "the boss" and someone is "the servant."  For us, in the Christian world, LORD means the master of whom we are the servant, and to follow and do His beckoning. In the word Christian, we have Christ, to be Christian means to be CHRIST LIKE!  Are you?
    To be Christ-like, we have to accept Jesus as our LORD.  We must follow Him, imiitate Him, walk in His footsteps, and become so much like Him that people will see JESUS in US.
   Jesus is the "boss" and we the servants or slaves.  He is LORD, and to be disciples, calling Jesus LORD, we must give our whole to being like Christ.
   Sitting in church Sunday morning, watch evangelist on TV Sunday morning, giving good lip service, IS NOT BEING A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST!!!
    Paul and Silas are in prison, the jailer realized his own condition and need, he risked everything to find the answer. Acts 16:31 "They replied, 'Believe in the LORD JESUS and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household."
  Step 1: recognize Jesus, accept Him, and salvation is yours.
  Step 2: recognize Jesus as LORD of your life
  Step 3: submit all to Jesus and become disciples (on the job, at play, relaxing, everywhere)
  Step 4: be humble, but revel in the fact you have eternal life
For salvation assurance go to: Romans 10:9; 1 Corinthians 12:3; Ephesians 2:8,9; Philippians 2:11.
  Stay thirsty for the living water my friend.  Don't worry, be happy with Jesus!!  Thanks for reading today. Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
