Jesus said,

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Hello All,,Its Friday once again,The year is just flying by, time gos so quick ? I went from a kid to a teenager to a youngman to a adult to a senor citizen in a flash The only thing good about that is I get a senior citizen discount for some thin where ever I go mostly food joints..O"well lets get goin cause Im a Getin older The Enduring Word of the Lord

“The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the word of the Lord endures forever.” - 1 Peter 1:24-25

Many centuries ago there was a Roman emperor named Diocletian who was known for his hatred of Christianity. He hated the Bible so much that he took a Bible and burned it. Then on top of that burned Bible he erected a monument.

Chiseled on that monument were these words:

“Extincto nomini christianorum” — “The name of Christian is extinct.”

Over the years many like Diocletian have sought to eradicate the Bible and Christianity, but for naught. The Bible is the incorruptible Word of God, and the foul breath of time and the gnawing tooth of decay cannot destroy the Word of God!

Purchase a Bible this week for the sole purpose of giving it away. Then ask God to find that special someone for you to give it to. God Loves Yas,,,We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day,,,Your Friend In Christ,,,From The Riverbottom,,,Ron ,,Im sendin Prayer for you all

Have a Blessed Day Charting Our Course by His Word

“But whoso keepeth His word, in Him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.” - 1 John 2:5

The word “keepeth” in 1 John is a derivative of a word that sailors used years ago to refer to their practice of steering their course by “keeping” the stars.

This did not mean, of course, that a sailor would not be blown off course or that he might not over-steer. It didn't mean that he might not nod at the wheel or somehow be distracted, or fail to keep a perfect chart. But the goal, the aim, the desire, and the controlling principle in his life were those stars. He knew that in them he could find direction to his destination.

In the same way, John says God’s commandments are to be the standard by which you and I chart our courses in life.

What is determining your steps today? God’s Word? Or your word? God LOves Yas,,,We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day,,,Your Friend In Christ,,,From The Riverbottom,,,ron Prayers sent for all

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us! Amen.

Hello All is good here in the Riverbottom..Do you know who loves you more than anyone else ? JESUS does !,JESUS loves,forgives, JESUS forgets all sin, JESUS gives us grace . { JESUS CHRIST} The Creator of All Things,,,,,,,,,,,Lets go on,,, One Burning Focus
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” - Matthew 6:33
Do you know what the problem with many of us is? Our faith is something tacked onto our lives. Jesus said, “No man can serve two masters…” (Matthew 6:24). Do you believe that? You are to have but one goal in your life, and that is to know Jesus Christ personally, powerfully, passionately, and preeminently. Everything else will flow out of that.
You say, “But wait a minute. I’ve got other things to do! I’ve got a job. I’ve got to rest. I’ve got to have recreation. I’ve got to have friends. I can’t just narrow my interests to one.” When you bring your life into a burning focus, all of these other things will contribute to the main thing.
What is the burning focus of your life? Make it Jesus, and you’ve made it! God Loves Yas,,, We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day,,, Your Friend in Christ,,,From The Riverbottom,,,Ron Prayers for you all

Hey Everbody ! Fridays here ! The week went by fast. and so is this year. Take each day and live it as if its your last because it just might be . Just make sure you have been saved and accepted Jesus Christ into your life.If you havent and Christ comes before ya do ..You will be somewhere forever that you wont wana be ... ,So I pray that you ask God into yer life right now and recieve that Wonderus ,Gloryious,Awsome, Reward Living in Heaven with Christ for eternity...Now to todays message, How Do I Get More Light?

“Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” - Psalm 119:34

Is God righteous? Yes! How is the righteousness of God revealed? “From faith to faith.” How does that work? God gives you truth…you believe that truth…God gives you more truth.

The more you obey the light, the more light you get.

The reason some of us don’t understand the Bible any more than we do is because we have not been living up to the light God has already given us! If you want to understand the part of the Bible you don’t understand, begin to obey the part you do understand and you’ll understand what you didn’t understand. Do you understand?

Ask God for faith that will reveal to you the hidden truths of His Word that are hard for you to understand right now. God LOves Yas,,,We Love Yas,,,Have a Blessed Day,,, Your Friend In Christ,,,From The Riverbottom,,,Ron Prayers sent to Heaven for you all

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Amen.

But the Lord said to Samuel,

“Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

Hello all ! Its Monday ,We will walk with JESUS everyday He will guide us and lead us through all days. Now lets geter on to todays message...It Comes to the Devil…How to Think

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” - Romans 12:21

There are two mistakes people make about the devil. One, they get into demonology—always studying, wondering, and talking about demons. Their focus rests on Satan rather than on the Lord Jesus. The Bible says we’re to resist the devil; it doesn’t say we’re to chase him.

On the other hand, there are those who are flippant about the devil. They have nicknames for him and think he’s a cartoon or fantasy.

The truth is, we have a powerful adversary, the devil. Peter likens him to a roaring lion! A mature Christian recognizes that he has an enemy. He respects the power of the enemy. Then he clings to the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to overcome this great adversary.

Is the lion prowling around your life? Take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and break free from his jaws of destruction. Then you can say The devil cant make me do anything with JESUS in my life...God Loves Yas,,,We Love Yas ,,,Have a Blessed Day,,, Your Friend In Christ,,,From The
Riverbottom,,,Ron Prayer for you all..

“This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name:

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

Prayer is our direct line and powerful connection to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Petition him as we have been instructed to do on a daily basis and he will make things known to you as he has stated above. God Bless.

Good Mornin All ,,Well the river has goten back down in its banks but theres about 300 acers of crops that was distroyed from the water. O Well thats part of livin in the Riverbottoms. All ,I know is GOD is good no matter what the situation and always makes things work out. I love him ! Hes my GOD and my SAVIOR and I hope that one day hes yours if not already..lets get to the message for today. The Trying of Faith Works Patience

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” - James 1:2-4

What does God want out of you? He wants you to experience the fullness of Christ. And the way to this is through trials and tribulations. Can you be patient during this process? If you’re like most people, probably not. We become like children who don’t know the difference between “No” and “Not yet.” If you say, “Wait a while,” to them that is, “No.” They want it now. But God is interested in maturing you. A Danish proverb says, “Give to a pig when it grunts and give to a child when it cries, and you will have a fine pig and a bad child.” Tribulation brings patience, and patience makes us mature.

What are you waiting for? What are you struggling with? Give it to Jesus. Trust in His timing and His provision. For those that dont depend on GOD and try to go through and work things out what ever it might be ,You are realy missing out on life and missing the help from God that can make things workout and have a better ending....God Loves Yas,,,We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day,,, Your Friend In Christ,,, From The Riverbottom,,Ron...Prayers from The Riverbottom for all

Have a Blessed weekend and may God give you the desires of your heart.. The First Step to reaching the Lost for Christ

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:10
I heard about a prayer meeting they were having in an old country church awhile back. It was one particular woman’s turn to pray, so she sat up somberly and said, “God, please help all those people who are out there right now having such a good time.”
It’s true that in many Christian communities today, people have an “us versus them” mentality. They think, “We’re the serious ones in here with sad faces and angry scowls. How dare those people out there have any fun!” And in the end, all it does is create bitterness on both sides.
But what if instead of just staying in holy huddles, more people got up out of the pews and really engaged the lost? It could be something as simple as hosting a neighborhood get-together or being intentional with people at work. It’s not hard; it just takes a little bit of effort.
God’s love is for everyone. And as believers, we’re the channel through which His love very often flows. So don’t close yourself off from the world. Engage with the lost, show them God’s love, and pray their eyes would be opened to the truth of the Gospel!
ENGAGE THE LOST BY SHOWING THEM GOD’S LOVE AND PRAY HE’LL OPEN THEIR HEARTS TO JESUS CHRIST! God Loves Yas,,,We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day ,,, Your Friend In Christ,,,From The Riverbottom Ron ...Prayer for you all

Ya Everybody ! Its great to know that GOD is with us . Whats even better is he will save us from our sins. Whats even better than that,,,,We will live forever in heaven if we have accepted him as our savior,,What can be any better than that ? Heres todays message,, Making Sense of What We Don’t Understand

“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.” - Psalm 139:23

A little boy had a jigsaw puzzle that on one side had a map of the world and on the other side had a picture of a man. His mother asked him to try and work it and before long the little fellow had put the puzzle together. The mother was surprised to find that the little fellow knew so much about geography. She asked him, “How on earth did you do that?”

“Oh,” he said, “I worked the other side first. When I got the man right, the world was right.”

How true that is! We will never fix this world until we get the man right – the man Jesus Christ, that is.

Are things in your world confusing you these days? Turn to Jesus and trust Him to make sense of what you don’t understand. Theres lots of things that I dont understand but we will one day soon ...God loves yas,,, We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day,,, Your Friend In Christ,,, From The Riverbottom,,,Ron Prayers sent for you and you and you... I want You to know that I love you all in Christian Love and mean that from the bottom of my heart.

Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

God said he would stand at the door and knock, he never once said he was going kick the door off the hinges and force his teachings upon you..... It is your decision as a responsible human being. I encourage you to answer the door of eternity and accept Jesus Christ as your Savior today. God Bless.

Good Friday to you! Have a blessed weekend .Go find you a seat in a church some where this Sunday,Jesus just might be sitin in the chair right next to you. Lets go with todays message The Law of Life in Christ
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.” Romans 8:2
I’ve always found airplane flight amazing. They are so heavy, yet they fly! The pilot gets behind the controls, moves the throttle, and those great engines begin to roar. And the first thing you know, you’re flying.
Has the law of gravity been canceled? No, but there’s another law that comes into effect called the law of aerodynamics, which is a greater law than the law of gravity. When you get right with God, the law of sin and death is still there. But there’s a new law. It’s the law of life in Christ Jesus that sets you free from the law of sin and death. As long as you abide in Jesus Christ, then you are free from the law of sin and death.
Have you been set free? Then, it’s your turn to set another captive free with the Good News. Go out and share this free gift with someone today. God Loves Yas,,,We Love Yas,,, Have a Blessed Day,,,Your Friend In Christ,,, From The Riverbottom,,,Ron Prayer where its needed ,,Its needed for you and I, so its sent from the riverbottom...
