Today’s Message:Practice Excellence

Share

bible

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.”

(Colossians 3:23, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

You can probably think of many times in which you simply did not give your best effort, or didn’t really try very hard. Every person, because of our human imperfections, sometimes chooses to be lazy and not try.

But the example given by Christ, and the one mentioned in Colossians 3, is completely the opposite. Christians are to be the best at whatever they do, because they are to do everything as if they were doing it for God alone!

When you put your whole heart into whatever it is you are supposed to do, God will recognize that and bless you for it. You should strive for and pursue excellence in all you do, for the sake of God; He blesses excellence!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

God, I want to do my work and everything else with true excellence. Give me Your power to be an example of Christ to those around me. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

    • I would think that living a good honest life without having to believe in some supernatural being would be far more rewarding than living your life with a lie that there is something more if we give our lives to some imaginary being that people have been exploiting for many hundreds of years. Religion is only one of many ways that man has tried to control his fellow man.

  1. I hate jesus and his bull shít lies i never wanted that ásshóle in my life and he can take his holy fúckin ghost and shove him up his áss and his fúckin mother too!

  2. I hate religion, and the more I become acquainted with the harm it causes in the world and the lives of individual believers, the more I grow to hate it. Religion is a cancer eating away at human society. It is an insult to the intelligence of modern humans.
    Religion is an outdated and outmoded way of seeing the world and living in it. It causes a great deal of harm and the hope it purports to offer is false. It is time for us as a species to see religion for what it really is — a pack of ancient myths and lies that has enslaved us for far too long

  3. Yeah….work hard like Joel & Victoria Osteen there who have bought $10 million mansion perpetuating these lies to poor fox!!

  4. Religion is the belief and worship of a deity or pantheon. Athieism is a lack of belief or traditional worship…it is quite literally the opposite of a religion.
    I don’t go to any church. I don’t answer to any priest. I don’t pray to anything, I don’t thank anything when i’m lucky or ask anything for help when i’m not.

  5. May the Google Lord Jesus Christ touch your souls that you may know God the creator.

    Even we the insults you have written I know he still loves you.
    Amen.

    • Your 2000 year old tradition has brought the world wars, dark ages and inquisitions! Right! Keep those traditions.

      – Santa Claus!

  6. May the Good Lord Jesus Christ touch your souls that you may know God the creator.

    Even with the insults you have written I know Jesus still loves you.
    Amen.

    • My mother and father are my creators, but to imply that some fairy sky daddy had something to do with it is totally beyond belief.

      Do you believe in the tooth fairy, the easter bunny or santa claus? I assume not, so how is it that you can still believe in the magic man (god)

  7. The biggest problem with what religion bring to us is the fact that all christians are conditioned to believe and spread lies. When most people that has the capability to critically think, look at the errors and contradictions that are in the bible they wake up to the brainwashing their local ministers/pastors have been dishing up to them.
    There is more than enough evidence to confirm that the bible is nothing more than a book of fairytales.

  8. Why do you keep changing name, to make us feel like many people hate religion?

    We don’t care what you think about God, you will know who God is soon.

  9. “As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.” Psalm 109:17

  10. Religion is very evidently a massive fraud, that propogates mainly by telling little children that they must believe in a terrifying god who will punish them for eternity if they don’t do this or that. It is time mankind emancipates itself from the cult of death that is the abrahamic religions, and all religions for that matter.

  11. A message for he who delights in insults:

    “As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.” Psalm 109:17

  12. To all those who are earnestly seeking the truth, I say this to you:-
    We are all created with a free will, and therefore we are very free to question things, even the existence of God.
    “Seek and you shall find” Matthew 7:7 and Jeremiah 29:13 so the scripture says. Or talk to some wise elders in your family with a wealth of experience in life.
    And I don’t know which era of science some bloggers are referring to as a basis of discounting the Creator. Little knowledge is dangerous because you can mislead yourself. Using the latest technology, current science recognises the existence of a supernatural existence – ( i.e. a Creator whom I call the Almighty God).
    So, whether you are trying to understand where ‘m’ comes from in the equation E=mc2, Or why…..

    • Or what caused ‘The Big Bang’?, Or how big is the universe? Or how many universes (miltiverse) are there? Or the astonishing revelations of matter at Nanotechnology level . . etc.etc. the supernatural existence comes in, whether we like it or not.

  13. “The whole fabric of our religion is based on superstitious belief in lies that have been foisted upon us for ages by those directly above us, to whose personal profit and aggrandizement it was to have us continue to believe as they wished us to believe.” – Edgar Rice Burroughs

  14. “One man’s theology is another man’s belly laugh” in other words “one man’s religion is another man’s joke”
