GS Newsletter - Tuesday May31st,  MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST - PART II by Gabriel Swaggart   “ AND HE SAID TO   them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me ”  (Luke. 9:23). BEARING OUR CROSS MEANS SUFFERING FOR CHRIST The second misconception of the Cross is found in the idea of suffering.  Satan has done a very good job of causing believers to have a total misunderstanding of the words of Christ when He said, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily.” Many have taken this Scripture to mean that taking up the Cross refers to suffering.  They believe that to follow the command of Christ of taking up the Cross entails much suffering and agony.  It doesn’t mean that.  Not in the slightest does it refer to our suffering. Yes, Christ suffered such extreme pain and such extreme agony that we do not have the proper vocabulary to describe the amount of pain that was inflicted upon

Day 148: How to Respond to Conflict (Proverbs 13:10-19, John 18:1-24, 1 Samuel 21:1-23:29) : Proverbs 13:10-19 10 Where there is strife, there is pride,   but wisdom is found in those who take advice. 11 Dishonest money dwindles away,   but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow. 12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,   but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. 13 Whoever scorns instruction will pay for it,   but whoever respects a command is rewarded. 14 The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life,   turning a person from the snares of death. 15 Good judgment wins favour,   but the way of the unfaithful leads to their destruction. 16 All who are prudent act with knowledge,   but fools expose their folly. 17 A wicked messenger falls into trouble,   but a trustworthy envoy brings healing. 18 Whoever disregards discipline comes to poverty and shame,   but whoever heeds correction is honoured. 19 A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul,   but fools detest turni

Paula White Ministries : Pastor Paula White-Cain is a celebrated author and teacher, beloved May 26: You Can Make It “ And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9 God does His most powerful work when we are weak, empty, and helpless. We don’t like to be in this state, but it is the condition out of which God builds masterpieces. We want full; God desires empty. Being weak is sometimes depicted as something painful or unpleasant. But pain can become a conduit for power. I eventually discovered that what was meant to destroy us can actually be used to make us strong and whole. What was supposed to be a stumbling block in our life can become a steppingstone. You may be saying, “Paula, what good can possibly come out of my situation? How can God take my mess and get any glory?” It is interesting to me that tra

Holy Land Moments | International Fellowship of Christians and  His Love Is Eternal Yael Eckstein   |  May 24, 2022 I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you.  —Leviticus 26:11 Each week in synagogue, Jews read through the  Torah  from Genesis to Deuteronomy. The  Torah  portion for this week is  Bechukotai , which means “My decrees,” from Leviticus 26:3–27:34. Once, when I was a child, I was misbehaving, acting out and speaking inappropriately to my parents. My father told me to stop misbehaving once, twice, a third time. Nevertheless, I kept doing what I was doing, ignoring my father’s gentle reprimand. My father sensed that I was completely ignoring him and yelled at me. I was terrified. My father didn’t get angry with me very often and rarely expressed it the way that he did on that day. I ran to my room in tears. I remember thinking that I had permanently harmed our relationship. I mean, look how angry he was! A few moments later, I heard my father’s footste
