From Matthew 17:11 ; Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." While he was still speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddently a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!" And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid." When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead."

From Matthew 5:14 ; "You are the light of the world. A city that is set up on a hill cannot be hidden. "Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven."

The Transfiguration was a glorious event in the life of Jesus on this earth, that reminds us of Heaven. Heaven is a place of great light, and our goal is to reach Heaven. Let the Transfiguration of Jesus, along with Moses and Elijah, inspire you. All praise and glory to God. Amen.
Other glorious events are when Jesus rises from the dead, when Jesus ascends into Heaven from the mount of Olives, and when Jesus returns at the end of the great tribulation on the Mount of Olives.

You are the light of the world. You must bring the light of Jesus Christ to those people that you come in contact with, especially to those people that you come in contact with at work. God gives you the responsibility of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This light that is in you, must shine out to everyone that you come in contact with. Pray and be bold. Give all praise and glory to God. Keep your eyes fixed on Heaven. God bless your work for our Lord. Amen.

Our goal is to go to Heaven and have eternal life. It is important to be sure that you will be going to Heaven. Believe firmly and be not lukewarm about the Kingdom of God. You must know Jesus Christ. Love God with your whole mind, body and soul. Take up your cross and follow Jesus.


From Luke 13:23-30 ; Then one said to Him, "Lord are there few who are saved?" And He said to them, "Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and He will answer and say to you, I do not know you, where are you from, then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. But He will say, I tell you I do not know you, where are you from. Depart from Me all you workers of iniquity. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the Kingdom of God. And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last."

Can you behold the prophets and saints? If you can't behold them, how do you expect to behold God?

From Luke 12:48 ; "But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask more."

Remember not to be lukewarm. Strive to become Holy. Do not copy what other people do, for they may not know as much as you. Assume that you will be held to a higher standard. Follow Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord.

Are you rushing around with little time to spare? It is important to grow in your faith. Besides studying the Holy Scriptures and the writings of the saints, a deeply involved prayer life is a great help. The Holy Spirit will help you to grow in faith. Pray that the Holy Spirit guides you in a better and deeper understanding of the mysteries of God.

Remember this about the work place. Your job is not just a place to earn a paycheck. It is a place God wants to use you to influence people for the Kingdom of God's sake.

Give all glory to God, pray to God about your purpose in life, and do God's will in your life both at home and in the work place.

How does God use storms and disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and volcanoes to wake us up ???

In the Acts of the Apostles, it mentioned that Paul was shipwrecked. The affect of storms and disasters vary from person to person, family to family, even on the same street. People's reactions to these events show both the good and the bad. God indeed wakes us up when these events affects us. Pray for both yourself and for your neighbors.

Remember, that this is still the will of God. Helping each other in the time of need, provides many blessings. Don't forget to thank God when you go to church. The will of God is involved in every aspect of your life. Give all glory to God. Don't forget to celebrate when the storm or disaster is behind you!!!

It is important to care about the environment

Protect God's creation by not wasting energy and contributing to global warming and the melting of the ice glaciers. Drive a fuel efficient vehicle, insulate your home or business, and plant trees, which absorb carbon dioxide. Also do not run the AC in a building, church, school or home when it is not occupied.

The kingdom of God is like a treasure found in a field

The person sells everything to purchase the field. Matthew tells us this parable so that we know our treasure is in Heaven. If you look for the return of Jesus Christ, you will receive a crown of righteousness when you get to Heaven. Praise God for every thing that you have.
