To worship GOD at EDC - 27th July


Humility
1 Peter 5:5-6



5 Young men,in the same way be submissive to those who are older.All of You,clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

" God opposes the proud
But gives grace to the humble."


6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.


What is humility?

Humility mean A person being humble with do how to be humble.

Humility like as respect yes but need to do and show how is your humble.

God like seeking who people's humility than proud.Proud made from Satan/Devil.

Why the people did proud around the world since birth/born? Who teach about proud attitude to them? Where the proud come from?

You may or maybe not know about the genesis by Bible.

God told them( Eve and Adam),You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Then they obeyed the Lord's commanded.

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"

The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.' "

"You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, "Where are you?"

He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."

And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

The man said, "The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it."

that mean they don't listen God's commanded. Look they were proud!

And have another to said, The angel (Lucifer) very love songs and God also like to listen his songs but God knew the angel was proud and want to be fair with the Lord.Lord kick out the angel to the earth.Because the Lord don't like proud attitude. God wants people's humility.

All people did proud attitude by who teach that Lucifer(Satan).

Don't follow the Satan.Please follow the Lord is teaches about humility.Humility is good right?

What kind of proud?

*don't want pray
*Don't or missed to the Church
*don't offering
*much more

What kind of humility?

*learn words of God through Pastor
*Obey God's word/command
*show your to do
*much more

God likes seeking peoples' humility and gives grace.Get a grace very good and real attitude :)

5 Young men,in the same way be submissive to those who are older.All of You,clothe yourselves with humility toward one another mean:

-Young peoples should respect who are older such as Pastor,Aunt,Uncle and etc.- (Humility)

Amen!

Serve God

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:5-9


I have many friends.But some of my friends are very special.Why? Because they truly serve God.


One of my special friends is blind like me.She uses puppets to teach children at church.Another friend takes people to the store and helps them shop.One of my friends drives people to church on Sunday.And another special friend leads a Bible study for several blind ladies in my church.


I also have friends who pray for sick or hurting people.Some of my special friends cook meals for people who are ill or sad.All of these friends are serving God.


God has given Christians special talents that they can use to serve Him.In our Bible Reading today, Jesus reminds us about ways we can serve God and other people.


Think about the talents God has given to you.How can you use them to serve Him today?


" In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would do good things.God had already planned those good things for us.God had planned for us to live our lives doing those good things." Ephesians 2:10b


PRAYER : Dear God, please show me how I can serve You today.In Jesus' name. Amen

Bible Reading : Judges 6:11-16


Once I prayed about something. I waited and waited for God to answer my prayer.Then I realized that maybe I was the answer to my prayer! Sometimes God surprises me. He tells me that I am the answer to my own prayer.Let me give you some examples.


Suppose you prayed and asked God to encourage someone who feels sad. Maybe God wants you to send a card to that person. Or suppose you pray that a person accepts Jesus as their Savior. Maybe God wants you to talk to that person about Jesus.If you pray about money for missionaries, maybe God wants you to give your money.


Our Bible Reading today tells us about Gideon.The Mideonites ruled Gideon and the other Israelites.The Israelites prayed to God for help (Judges 6:7b), but no one came to help them. Finally God sent an angel to Gideon to tell him that he was the one who would free the Israelites.


When you pray today, ask God to give you opportunities to serve Him.


" Use your power.Go save the people of Midian. I am sending you to save them!" Judges 6:14b


PRAYER : God, use me to do Your work today.In Jesus' name.Amen

Be Keep On The Lord Day
Exo 20:8-11, Isa 58:13-14



"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daugther, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals , nor the alien within our gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. (EXODUS 20:8-11)NIV

I'm so sorry, I missed to worship God on yesterday.That's why I couldn't explain now. May reader who christian read the bible by yourself and pray the Lord to help you.. Sorry again..

Love Serves Others (13th July)

Bible Reading : Galatians 5:13-18


Jesus said, " Do to other people the same things you want them to do to you" ( Matthew 7:12a). Jesus also said that the most important command is to " love the Lord your God," and the second most important command is to " Love other people the same as you love yourself"(Matthew 22:37-39).


Jesus showed us the way to obey these commands.Jesus showed love for God by always obeying God's Word, by communicating with God through prayer, and by resisting temptations to sin.Jesus also showed His love for God by loving other people.


Jesus showed His love for other people by serving them.When people were hungry, Jesus fed them.When people were sick, Jesus healed them. Jesus also shared the Word of God with people who needed to hear it. Finally, Jesus took the punishment for people's sins when He died on the cross.


Look at the ways Jesus showed His love.Them think about how you can copy His example today.


" The whole law is made complete in this one command: " Love other people the same as you love yourself." Galatians 5:14


PRAYER : Lord, help me to follow Jesus' example. Help me to love people the way You love us.In Jesus' name.Amen

What Love Does (12th July)



Bible Reading : 1 John 3:16-18


Sometimes people say," Love is an action." That means real love isn't a feeling. Real love causes people to take action and do things to show that love.This idea agrees with the kind of love the Bible tells us we should have.


Real Love should affect us two ways.First, love should change our attitude. 1 Corinthians, chapter 13, helps us understand that when we have love, we stop feeling selfish, jealous or proud.We start caring for other people, trusting people and having hope. Love causes our attitude to be focused on positive things and not on negative things.


Second, love should cause us to help other people. Our Bible Reading today tells us if we love, we won't worry about keeping good things for ourselves.Instead, we will use these good things to help other people.


These verses show us how we can be like Jesus.He loves us so much that He gave His own life to save us from sin. If we truly love other people, we will want to help them.


" Love patiently accepts all things.Love always trusts, always hopes , and always continues strong." 1 Corinthians 13:7


PRAYER : Dear Lord, thank You for loving me. Help me to show love to people I see today. In Jesus' name.Amen.

What Love Isn't



Bible Reading : 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7


The world teaches many things about love. But the kind of love that the world teaches is really selfishness. This kind of love depends completely on our own feelings.But that is not real love.Real love does not make you focus on yourself and your feelings.When you truly love, you focus on other people and their feelings.


"Love is not jealous" means that we do not become upset when someone else has something good.It also means we are willing to trust people. When we love someone, we will not boast about the things we do or have. And we will not think we are better than other people.
" Love is not rude, love is not selfish" means we should show respect for other people. We should show think about other people's needs and not our own.If we have true love, we will not be happy when when bad things happen to people. Instead we will want good things to happen to them.


Make sure that you are not being jealous, rude or selfish today.


" Give love and mercy the same as your Father gives love and mercy."


PRAYER : Lord,please help me to be unselfish. And help me to have true love for others.In Jesus' name.Amen

What Love Is (10th July)



Bible Reading : 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7


The Verses in our Bible Reading today are often read at weddings.These verses remind the bride and groom how they should love each other.But in these verses, Paul did not talk about the love a married couple should have.Paul talked about the love we should have for other people.


"Love is patient" means that when we love people, we do not quickly become upset with them. " Love is kind" means we treat other people the way we want people to treat us. We should not say hurtful things or have a bad attitude. We should help people without wanting a reward.


"Love patiently accepts all things" means we show love to people even when they sin and make mistakes." Love always trusts,always hopes, and always continues strong" means that we think good things about other people.


1 Corinthians 13:8a reminds us, " Love never ends". We should love other people the same way that God loves us. He loves us so much that He sent His son to die for us!


"Hate causes arguments.But love forgives every wrong thing people do". Proverbs 10: 12


PRAYER: Father,help me to love people the way You love us.In Jesus' name.Amen

Christian Love




Bible Reading : Galatians 5: 22-25


There is a lot of confusion about how to know if people are really Christians.Some people say we can know Christians because they do good things. Other people say real Christians must have spiritual gifts.
Some people say we know people are Christians if they are baptized.Others say we can know people are Christians if they say they believe in Jesus. And still other people say real Christians know the Bible and believe the "right" things.


Christians do many of those things.But what does the Bible say about being a Christian? Today's Bible Reading tells us what a real Christian is like. The first thing on the list is love. Jesus said if we love Him, we will obey Him (john 15:10. Jesus commanded us to love other people (john 13:34) . Also, in 1 John 4: 7-8 we learn that people who follow Jesus show love for others.


The Bible tells us that someone who is a Christian will show love for God,Jesus and other people. I hope you will show love today.


" You must love each other like I loved you. People will know that you are my followers if you love each other."John 13:35


PRAYER : God, help me show love today. In Jesus' name. Amen

Love is Necessary (8th July)



Bible Reading : 1 Corinthians 13:1-13


In our Bible Reading today, Paul listed some amazing things : speaking many languages, understanding secret things,telling prophecies, having amazing faith that can do miracles and even giving up one's life. But Paul said that if a person does not have love , these things are worthless!


If we do wonderful things because we love God and other people, then these things are a beautiful way to show love. These things glorify God and help other people. But if we do good things we do are worthless.


If we really love , we will not be interested in receiving a reward for what we do. We will do good things because we want to glorify God and help other people.


I hope you will have love and do good things for God and others today.


" Your love must be real. Hate the things that are evil. Do only the things that are good. Love each other like brothers and sisters. You should want to give your brothers and sisters more honor than you want for yourself." Romans 12: 9-10


PRAYER : Lord, please work through me to serve other people because I love them.In Jesus' name. Amen

Unselfish Love (7th July)



Bible Reading : Matthew 5: 38-48


everybody has rights.The American Declaration of Independence says that every person has certain rights.Some of these rights re to live freely and to do things that make us happy. We also have the right to protect ourselves from letting other people hurt us.


It is true that we have these rights. But Jesus taught us that there is something more important than defending our personal rights. Jesus said that it is more important for us to love other people unselfishly . In today's Bible Reading , Jesus gave many examples of how people will try to destroy our rights. But Jesus taught us to respond with love instead of anger.


In Romans 14:13-15 and I Corinthians 8: 1-13 , Paul wrote about giving up personal rights because we love other people.


Jesus gave up His rights ad died for us. WHY? Because He loves us.We should follow Hi example.If we truly have love, helping others will be more important than protecting our own rights.


" The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends." John 15: 13


PRAYER : Father, help me to love other people like You love me. In Jesus' name.Amen

Command- offerings (thank giving,titled,support, and others) Who christian should have offering to the LORD.Because God make you (human).God wants all people bow on him because he made the human on the earth.God is also very riches. Why people non-offerings.

Job,Abraham--> richer because they loves and obey to GOD.God help them and good living.

Word's = quality! powerful! precious!


Where the word is near with you? Verse 14 "No, the word is very near you ; it is in our mouth and in you heart so you may obey it."

Mouth - interpersonal about GOD means talk to oneself about GOD.

Heart - feeling God inside your heart..

Another Bible Reading : Ps 19:10

"They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb."

Means - The Heaven/Lord are more precious than Gold.God so rich rich rich and powerful and completed.It also sweeter than honey. WaW!Awesome GOD!

Last of Bible Reading : 1 Cor 16:22 "If anyone does not love the Lord—a curse be on him. Come, O Lord! = means You not love the Lord- God will curse on you such as leave you to hell,sick and suffer, trouble and etc.

Let you choose which of 4 you want= Life and prosperity,death and destruction..

Be love to the LORD ya.. God is so GOOD!!!! :)

Command to Love (6th July)



Bible Reading : Matthew 22:36-40


Many times in the Bible God commands us to love Him and also to love other people. One time people asked Jesus what the greatest commands were. Jesus answered by quoting verses from the Old Testament.


Jesus said that the greatest commands are for us to love God and to love other people. Jesus said in verse 40 of our Bible come from these two commands. Romans 13: 8-10 tells us that if we truly want to obey God, we must love others.


In the book of John, Jesus specifically commanded His followers to love each other. He said that we must do this so we can follow Him.Jesus also said that people will know we follow Jesus by the way we love God and others (John 13: 35)


Chapters 3 and 4 of 1 John explain that if we want to follow Jesus , we must love God and others. If we truly belong to Jesus, we will obey His command to love.


" This is what God commands: that we believe in his Son Jesus Christ and that we love each other. This is what he commanded ." 1 John 3:23


PRAYER : God,please help me to obey You. And help me to show love to You and other people. In Jesus' name. Amen

Real Love (5th July)


Bible Reading : 1John 4:7-21


People say many different things about love.There are stories about love , songs , about love and poems, movies and television shows about love.


Many books have been written to tell us how to fall in love or to explain what love is supposed to be like.There are people who say they are "experts" about love. Many people pay attention to their advice.


But truly there are only a few people who understand love. In fact, the love we read about in the Bible is very different from the popular ideas about love today.


Real love comes from God . God showed His love for us by sending His Son,Jesus, to accept the punishment for our sins. When Jesus died on the cross, He also showed us how much He loves us.


We can know about God's love by reading the Bible. Then we can understand more about real love.The way Jesus taught us to love is the only true way to love.


Yes , God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son. God gives his Son so that every person that believes in him would not be lost, but live forever." John 3:16


PRAYER : Lord, thank You for Your love. Help me to share it with other people. In Jesus' name.Amen

Freedom (4th July)




Bible Reading : Romans 6:15-13


Today is a holiday in the United States.On this date in 1776, the American Colonies accepted the Declaration of Independence. This was a document saying that the colonists were free from the rule of England. Every year on July 4Th, Americans gather for picnics,parades and fireworks to help them remember the freedoms they have in America.


I enjoy the freedoms I have as an American.But as a Christian , I have even greater freedom through Jesus Christ. Before I became a Christian, I was a slave to sin. I was not free. But when I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I became free to serve God. Verses 17-18 of our Bible Reading tell us," In the past you were slaves to sin - sin controlled you.But thank God, you fully obeyed the things that were taught to you. You were made free from sin.And now you are slaves to goodness (right living)."


Maybe you do not have many freedoms in our country.But if you are in a Christian, you have freedom from sin.Thank God today for your freedom through Jesus Christ.


" The Lord is the spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is , there is freedom." 2 Corinthians 3 :17


PRAYER : God , thank You for Jesus.In His name.Amen.

Pride( 3th July)




Bible Reading : Luke 18:9-14


Once I really needed to wear glasses.But I was too proud. When I read a book, I squinted at the words.Finally I bought a small magnifying glass.


One time I was at a Bible study. I used the magnifying glass to help me read my Bible. The lady sitting next to me watched me for a long time.Finally she learned over and said, "Sir,you need glasses or a Bible with large print!"


In our Bible Reading today, Jesus talked about pride. He told a story about a religious leader who was humble. When the religious leader prayed, he said (verse 11b)," O, God , I thank you that I am not as bad as other people." But when the humble man prayed, he said (verse 13b), " O ,God, have mercy on me. I am sinner !" Jesus ended the story by saying (verse 14b),"Every person that makes himself important will be made humble."


Every time I see my magnifying glass, I remember I should be humble.Be humble and obey God today.


" God is against proud people, but he gives grace (kindness) to people who are humble." James 4:6b


PRAYER: Dear Father, help me to be humble and to obey you. In Jesus' name.Amen.

Pay Attention (2 July)

Bible Reading : 1 Samuel 3:1-10


Do you remember when you were a child and your mother asked you to clean your room? Maybe you ignored her. Then she told you again to clean your room.But you never cleaned your room.Finally your mother punished you because you did not obey.


When your mother punished you, you finally paid attention to her.The punishment was necessary to get your attention and make you obey.


In our Bible Reading , God spoke to Samuel. But Samuel did not know that God was speaking to him. Samuel thought that Eli, the priest, was calling him.Finally Samuel said to God (Verse 10b)," Speak.I am your servant, and I am listening."


Sometimes we do not pay attention to God. We disobey Him and sin.Sometimes He punished us. Then we finally obey Him.


" Be careful and don't refuse to listen when God speaks... Now God is speaking from heaven. So now it will be worse for those people who refuse to listen to him." Hebrews 12:25


PRAYER : God, please help me to pay attention and obey You today.In Jesus' name .Amen

A Trip (1 July)




Bible Reading : John 14:1-4


Soon my husband and I will take a trip.We are going to a church convention in Kansas City, Missouri. We hope to see some family members and friends at the convention.


My husband and I have been looking forward to this trip for many months. We have prepared for the trip. We packed our clothes. We saved enough money to pay for our hotel room and food while we are in Kansas City.


But I am also looking forward to another trip. This will happen when Jesus takes me to live with Him forever. I don't know when this trip will happen, but I do know that living with Jesus will be wonderful.


In our Bible Reading today, Jesus told His disciples that He would prepare a place for His followers. I need to get ready for this trip. I can do that by obeying God every day.


I hope you will think about this wonderful trip and obey God today.


Only the people whose names are written in the lamb's book of life will enter the city" Revelation 21:27b


PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I am excited to know that I will someday live with You forever. Help me to be ready for this important trip.In Jesus' name.Amen

Good Seeds




Bible Reading : Mark 4:1-9


When you plant an apple seed, it grows and makes more apples. This is what always happens.You can't plant an apple seed and grow green beans.


It is the same with our thoughts and actions. We can't put unkind, selfish, evil ideas in our mind and expect to be a loving, kind , unselfish person.


If we want to be a person who follows God , we must plant good "seeds" in our minds. Philippians. 4:8 tells us what these " seeds are. " Brothers and sisters, continue to think about the things that are good and worthy of praise. Think about the things that are true and honorable and right and pure and beautiful and respected."


These are the kinds of seeds we should be planting in our minds.And if we pray and study the Bible, we will help these good "seeds" to grow in us.Then we will have good thoughts and actions in our lives.


Think about these good " seeds" today.Ask God to help you bring honor to Him.


We will grow to be like Christ in every way. Christ is the head and we are the body ." Ephesians 4 :15b


PRAYER : Dear Father, help me to plant these good "seeds in my life today. Help me to always think right things.In Jesus' name. Amen
