Many American Christians have a proud love for the United States, but many others do not. They are ashamed of the sins of our past and wonder if it is ungodly to be patriotic. How does the Word of God address nationalism and borders and patriotism and national sin (past and present)?

Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. What is it that Jesus will return to reward? Listen and hear what the Bible says that Jesus is searching to reward in His servants.

Have you wondered how to share your faith with people in a genuine, but unobtrusive way? Jesus told us to love our neighbor: the most effective means of sharing the gospel is in real relationship with the people who live around us.

Jesus told us to "love our neighbor." How do we do that well? We need to understand relationship and conversation skills in order to fulfill Jesus' command to love our neighbor.

Prov. 17:17 A friend loves at all times and there is a friend who is closer than a brother.

I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 15:1-5

Revelation 3:20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality. Romans 12:13

1 Corinthians 15:14–19 (abbreviated) If Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless. And we apostles would all be lying about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the grave. And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.

King David personally purchased the site of the Old Testament temple (1 Chron. 21-22; 2 Chron. 3). This property is perpetually owned by his sons, through all generations to the Son of David, Jesus Christ. But that temple is gone, and Jesus is building a new temple, His Church (Eph. 2:19-22)

Matthew 8:5–10 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! What do the centurion and Jesus mean when they speak of "being under authority?" This is actually a great key to having your prayers answered and receiving the blessing of God. Psalm 133:1&3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! For there the LORD commanded the blessi

2 Timothy 2:3–4 You must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him [for whom he fights]. God is equipping you to not only survive, but to win in the fight of faith. Don't quit when it gets hard. You can do so much more than you think. Keep going!

Ps. 90 Lord, teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

The Church has been infiltrated -- by counterfeits who claim to be Christians, but who really are here to cause doubt, moral compromise, and division. Don't be a tare in God's wheatfield (Matt 13:24-30). Don't be an unwitting agent of the enemy (Jude3-12; 2 Tim. 2:24-26). Examine yourself to be sure that your faith and obedience are real (2 Cor. 13:5).

Matthew 11:28–30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Are you stressed out by trying to meet the demands of other people? Are you filled with anxiety about trying to succeed? Is your conscience guilty before God? Are you constantly wondering what other people are thinking about you? Do you fear rejection? Do you feel judged? Are you afraid or ashamed to pray or worship? Please listen to the word of God and receive peace in your mind, soul, and body. Put your faith in Jesus Christ and received the Heavenly Father's approval today. Be at rest. Know you are loved by God.

Jesus said, "The Father is seeking those who will worship in Spirit and in truth." "My body is real food and my blood is real drink." "Those who eat my body and drink my blood will never die." "I am the bread of life that came down from heaven." (John 4:23 and John 6:51-58) What do these things mean? What is the point of Communion (also known as Eucharist, the Lord's Supper, the Lord's Table, etc.)? The truth is that there is real spiritual power in the symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. When we eat and drink in real faith, real power is present in the Spirit to unite with Jesus.

Mary experienced an amazing supernatural time period surrounding the birth of Jesus. But then 30 years later, all those promises and words died with Him on the cross. What do you do when it seems too late for God to fulfill His promises to you? Keep believing! It is never too late for God to fulfill His Word to you.

Daniel 4:17 tells us that "the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and He gives it to whomever He chooses." Romans 13:1 says that all authority is from God. So is President Trump truly God's choice? How could that be? Would God choose such a man to perform His will?

How can you know more clearly the great love of God for you? If we confess our sin, we realize how great God's love truly is for us, and how merciful He is toward His children.

Listen to the story of King David's provision for Mephibosheth, Saul's grandson. This is a type of Jesus and how he takes care of us and restores what is lost.
