Here to Help


Ephesians 5 (N If you don't do what you say others should do, you are a hypocrite and are unworthy of God's favor.


  


Ephesians 3:20  (NKJV)

20 Now to Him who is able (& willing) to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,









If you don't follow God's direction, don't expect His help.  



Following God's direction is how God help us. 







1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NKJV)

16 Rejoice always, 



17 pray without ceasing, 



18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.  



19 Do not quench the Spirit. 



20 Do not despise prophecies.





Quench not God's Spirit. 


Despise not God's Spirit.  



If you have despised direction from the Lord, you have disqualified yourself from having His help.  






2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)

9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that... 






though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.






The more in poverty you are the less you can help others.  



The more you have the more that you can help others.    






It's great to do something for somebody, but God wants them to look to Him as their source. 





God does not want us to be poor.  He wants to open a channel of blessings through us to help others. 






Isaiah 61:1  (NKJV)

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me,

Because the Lord has anointed Me
To preach good tidings to the poor;


He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,


To proclaim liberty to the captives,


And the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
   



Good news to the poor is that they don't have to live in poverty.  


To the sick, that they can be well.  


To the enslaved, that they can be free.






1 Samuel 2:30 (NKJV)

... for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.






If people will honor God, He will bring them into a place of honor.
  






2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV)


21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Dan Dehaan's Metro Bible Study

In the late 1970s, I attended an interdenominational Bible Study called “the Metro Bible Study” in Metro Atlanta, which began as a Small Group in “Dad” Charles Ellis’ basement. It was taught by Dan Dehaan, and eventually outgrew Dad Ellis’ basement by moving to the Griffin Middle School.  When I first started attending, it had grown to 300 teenagers who meet ever Tuesday night and featured Contemporary Christian Music played by “The Pat Terry Group”.  As the Metro Bible Study continued rapid growth, they eventually moved to the First Baptist Church of Smyrna, Georgia where it peaked around 1200 attendees.  In the summer of 1982, Dan Dehaan died in a plane crash and teacher John Riley took over. Under John Riley, the Bible Study grew to about 1,500 after eventually moving to Mt. Paran Church of God. When I was first invited to the “Metro Bible Study”, I didn’t go to hear Dan Dehaan teach because I didn’t know who he was.  What I went to hear...

Where is God when times get tough?

Mark 4:35-41 (NLT) 35  As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”  Faith is based upon something.  Jesus said that they were all going across the lake.  The disciples should have based their faith upon what Jesus had said.   36  So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).  37  But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. You can be in the center of the will of God, and the journey can get tough.  38  Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion.  Faith doesn't fret.  Jesus was in the same ship as they were, but he was relaxed and asleep.   The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” Our mi...

In Trouble?

What do we do in the middle of trouble? Do I trust God when I don't understand? That's the situation the captives found themselves in, and this was God's response. Jeremiah 29:4-11  (NLT) 4  This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says to all the captives he has exiled to Babylon from Jerusalem: 5  “Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and eat the food they produce.   6  Marry and have children. Then find spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren. Multiply! Do not dwindle away!  7  And work for the peace and prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.” 8  This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: “Do not let your prophets and fortune-tellers who are with you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their dreams...
