Proverbs 23:17,26 - "Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. My son, give me thine heart,  and let thine eyes observe my ways." I want my children to love, fear, and serve the Lord through all of their lives.  I do not want something that I do to move them from those goals.  Let's pray, that as the leaders in our homes, we will lead our children in the right way, not only with our words, but with our actions as well. - Jason Myers

I Corinthians 3:7-8 - "So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour." Remember that we are all working together to accomplish something for the Lord in our homes, our church, and our workplaces.  We will be rewarded according to what we do with what God has given us. Let's continue to encourage each other to accomplish more for the Lord in our lives and ministries. - Jason Myers

Jeremiah 1:5 - "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Let's remember that God has something special planned for each of our children. Let's try to cultivate that as much as possible and let's try not to push them towards what we want them to do.  They will only truly be comfortable in life if they are doing the will of God for their lives. - Jason Myers

Colossians 3:14 - "And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness." To be the best husband to my wife, the best father to my children,  and the best servant for Jesus, I  must do everything with a love for others as Christ loves them. Without that love, I don't have the heart of Christ, and I will never be complete in anything I do. Please pray for me as I pray for you that we will be men who display the love of Christ to others.  - Jason Myers

Proverbs 4:18 - "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." Continue to be faithful in daily doing what is right and the Lord will lead you where He wants you and your family.  Remember the words of Abraham's servant "I being in the way,  the Lord led me ..." (Genesis 24:27). - Jason Myers

I Corinthians 15:19 - "If in this life only we have hope in Christ,  we are of all men most miserable." Romans 8:11 - "But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by the Spirit that dwelleth in you." Thank God today and every day that Jesus rose from the grave. Without that, nothing in this life would be meaningful.  - Jason Myers

I Corinthians 2:15 - "But he that is spiritual judgeth all things,  yet he himself is judged of no man." As husbands and fathers,  we need to constantly use the Bible to discern whether our families are pleasing God. We also need to live in such a way, that while not perfect,  we give no one reason to speak poorly of Christ because of us. - Jason Myers

Proverbs 28:4 - "They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them." Ask yourself this question: "Whose side am I fighting for today? " Your level of obedience to God's Word shows which one. Let's not let Satan use us to fight his battles. - Jason Myers

Romans 14:7 - "For none of us liveth to himself,  and no man dieth to himself."

Remember that every thing that we think,  say, or do, we are going to be held accountable for.  We are also ambassadors for Christ, so our life will either help bring others to Christ, or it will turn them away from Him. - Jason Myers

Hebrews 12:3 - "For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself,  lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds." It is shameful how many times in my life I have wondered whether it was worth all of the struggle to follow Christ. The thing that always brought me out of that thought process was thinking about what He struggled through for me.  As someone has said, "When you start to feel down,  look up." - Jason Myers

Psalm 40:8 - "I delight to do thy will,  O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." One of the best ways to ensure that we do God's will for our lives is by reading and memorizing His Word. I am challenging myself this year to memorize and dwell on more of the Bible so that I will be more likely to obey it. Will you do the same? - Jason Myers

Matthew 20:27-28 - "And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many" As men, the temptation is to try to be in charge of everything and everybody.  Let's try to look for opportunities to serve those in our families and in our church this year. - Jason Myers

Matthew 7:11 - "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask Him?" Just as we had great excitement giving our children their gifts, think of the God of all creation choosing us individually to bless each day. He not only keeps his promise to meet our needs, but He also gives us blessings each day. Let's remind Him daily how thankful we are by our words and the way we live." Jason Myers

Acts 4:13-14 - "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men,  they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them,  that they had been with Jesus. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. "

The most powerful tool of influence we have to go along with the Gospel is the testimony of our changed life. No matter how much hatred there is towards Christianity,  there is nothing the world can offer that can change a life like Jesus can. Let's be excited about being different than the world and use our testimony to point others to Christ. - Jason Myers

I Thessalonians 5:17 - "Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine."

One of the things we take for granted is that we have a man of God here who works extremely hard at helping us fulfill God's will for our lives. Let's tell the Lord how thankful we are for our pastor.  Let's show our pastor how thankful we are by putting into practice the things he gives us from God's Word. - Jason Myers

Proverbs 20:6 - "Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?" Be encouraged, that in our church, we can find many faithful men. You, as well as other men, are an encouragement to me through your faithfulness.  I am glad that my boys have faithful men as examples here at Gill Grove. - Jason Myers

Psalm 111:10 - "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: His praise endureth for ever." There is a progression of growth that we should see in our Christian lives.   We begin to gain wisdom as we think of God's great power and our great weakness. We then begin to understand more as we obey God's Word and see God working through us. As we see the LORD bless, it should cause us to constantly praise Him for His wisdom that He has given us to follow. - Jason Myers

Proverbs 16:7 - "When a man's ways please the LORD, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." We can, to an extent, determine how peaceful our day will be by being at peace with God through our actions.  - Jason Myers
