Who will love (Him) most?

Luke 7:41-43 (KJV)

[41] There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.

[42] And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, *which of them will love him most?

It Seems Apparent That There Are Different Levels of Adoration and Love…

• Some Are Content With Little…

• Some Never Feel Content…

While (the Content) Feel Good With What They Offer the Lord

(Others) Feel Like They Could Never Repay Him…

So The Outcome is Really Based on The Forgiveness-

One Feels Forgiven of (50 pence)

While the Other Feels Forgiven of (500 pence)

God Has Forgiven Us All-

Are You a 50 Pence-er or A 500?

It’s Evident In Your Service to (Him)…

My Finest Moments

Psalms 63:2 (KJV)

[2] To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

Power and Glory-

. Not In My Accomplishments

. Not In My Relationships

. Not In My Wealth

. Not In My Talent

. Not in My Intellect

My Finest Moments and Memories-

Are What I Have Experienced in Church!

*The House of God

*In His Sanctuary

Revelations and Powerful

Life Changing Events I Have Seen-

Was in The Sanctuary...

If This Is The Case-

. Where Then Should I Spend More Time?

. Where Then Should I Desire to Be?

My Finest Moments Are Spiritual

Not Carnal!

My Finest Moments-

Are Seeing Jesus (at) The Sanctuary-

Where Are Yours?

It May very well be the reason you are not happy or feel fulfilled!

The Cavalry is Coming

Psalms 57:3 (KJV)

[3] He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah.

God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Surrounded and Outnumbered-

The Enemy is Savoring His Final Blow...

Awaiting the Inevitable Defeat,

Suddenly a Trumpet Sounds in the Distance!

The Cavalry is Coming!

The Enemy Would Swallow Me Up-

Yet from Heaven Help Has Arrived!

Selah- Also Means to Pause...

It's Not Over Yet- Mercy and Truth Have Just Arrived!

*Pause from the Battle a Moment and Listen-

Is That a Distant Trumpet I Hear?

The Cavalry is Coming...

God's Replacement Program

Proverbs 11:8 (KJV)

[8] The righteous is delivered out of trouble, and the wicked cometh in his stead.

The Scripture Does Not Say

You Will Not Have Trouble-

But That God Will Deliver The Righteous (from) That Place Called "Trouble"

And (REPLACE) You With a Wicked Person!

Now (if) You Are the Wicked-

You Will Spend Your Life Being

Transported to Replace A Righteous Person's Trouble!

Delivered Out or A Replacement for?

The Choice Is Still Yours-

Righteous vs. Wicked...

The Second Step

Psalms 56:13 (KJV)

[13] For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Salvation from Eternal Death is Great!

• Repentance: brings forgiveness

• Baptism: brings relief

• Holy Ghost: brings renewal

The Second Step-

Is Walking in The Faith,

Living for God the Next Day

Not Stumbling and Falling after Being Born Again…

Your Name May Have Been Written in The Book of Life-

Make Sure it Stays There-

By Not Falling!

Deliverance from Death (Eternity) Is Great!

But The Second Step Is-

*Living for God Outside The Crisis….

Second Steppers need help from God to not fall!

This Is a Hard Saying

Psalms 56:11 (KJV)

[11] In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Is This a Statement or Hope?

Declarations Build FAITH and

Puts Everything on The Line...

Easier to Say...

On A Particular Service at Church We Feel Confident

But-

. When Mountains Are Crumbling

. The Doctor's Report

. The Boss Has Intimidated

. Coworkers Have Threatened

. The Government Seeks To Do

It Becomes A Hard Saying-

Psalms 56:11 (KJV)

[11] In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.

Make It More Than a One Time Declaration

But Rather-

A Daily Reminder...

And When the Fear of What Man is Trying To Do Comes

Remind Yourself, Again and Again Until it Becomes a Part of Your Daily Prayers...

Who - Makes a Difference

Psalms 55:12 (KJV)

[12] For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

A Ticklish Person Can Touch Their Own Side And It Feels Like a Good Scratching...

(Who) Makes a Difference

A Rapist Can Touch His Victim in The Same Places As A Lover...

But-Results Are Horrific Instead of Endearing...

(Who) Makes a Difference

Enemies and People Who Hate Me

Can Say and Do Things That Do Not (Nearly) Affect Me

As It Would from Someone I Trust and Love...

(Who) Makes a Difference

Betrayal Is Hard To Endure-

But As King David Wrote-

He found that the loving, keeping hand of God brought him through the hurt.

*Possibly One of The Greatest Achievements for King David Was Not Goliath-

But Rather Realizing That God Was His Avenger!
