IGNYTE I will ignite the kingdom life within you,a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out -Matthew 3:11-

Hey all, sorry I've never been helping out in this blog but it seems to be doing fine. Here are some songs that I would like to share to you guys. I hope that it will uplift your spirit and that you'll continue to praise God in whatever situation. God bless you guys...

Forget yourself for others and others will not forget you.

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12

The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift not a right.

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 1 Timothy 6:6-7

Next Saturday we begin a new topic for our cell groups.. It is "Two Views of Wealth."

Can anyone remember that our last topic of discussion was "One Source of Significance" - What is that one source of significance? The first one to approach me this Saturday at Ignyte and give me the answer will get a free gift.

If (because) you have . . . encouragement, comfort, fellowship, tenderness and compassion from being united with Christ; treat each other the same way He treats you (Philippians 1: 1-4: paraphrased). Because I am a Christian, God expects me to feel about others the same way Jesus feels about me. Because I am a Christian, Jesus expects me to treat others the way He treats me!

One of the most essential ingredients of acquiring an appetite for God is to surround your life with people of spiritual appetite. If you walk in the counsel of the ungodly, you will become ungodly. If you stand in the way of sinners, you will be a sinner. If you sit in the seat of the scornful, you will become a critic of God. But if you run with those of a spiritual appetite, you will have a spiritual appetite. Appetites are contagious. If you want be red hot for the Lord, check the temperature of those you associate with. If they are all sub-tropic, then your spirit is going to freeze.

In a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life (Philippians 2: 15-16). When we go out at night we look up and see the stars. They light up the darkness and speak to us that there is a God. We are to be His lights down here. As the stars are up there, we are down here. As we live good Christian lives and hold out the word of life to lost people, we are His lights in a dark world.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others (Philippians 2:4). "Others" is the key to this verse. It is the Christian faith that first made the word "others" important. Why did the Lord come to earth? It was for others. Why should we preach the Gospel? For others to know Him! To think of others instead of oneself is to have the attitude of Christ.

We often admire and appreciate people who have gained success in life, and yet remain faithful in their desire to obey God and continue to thirst for His truth. They know that power, wealth and other worldly assets are not everything in life. These things are transient and we cannot take them to heaven. That explains why we should keep our focus on God and His Word. Proverbs 30:5 says, Every word of God is pure. He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. The Word of the Lord endures forever!
