Matthew 12:36-37..."But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."  How careful are we each day with our "words"...at home with our family, at work, even at church with our friends?  Do we use our words enough for good....or to speak up & tell others about Christ when we're given opportunities? - Jason Barrett

Matthew 7: 24-27 - “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”  The world tries everything in attempts to make their lives useful and tolerant of others. My grandchildren love to collect rocks. God states that when we abide in Christ, hear, digest and do what his Word instructs us to do than we are building our home and family on the true ROCK, Jesus Christ. As parents and grandparents, we need to always keep Christ as our ROCK for our family and lives no matter what storms may happen.  - Clifford Myers

Matthew 12:36 - "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement." What a powerful statement. I couldn't even guess how many idle words I've uttered in my lifetime. We need to make sure we are very careful with our words because we will answer to God for them. - Steve Boots

Matthew 7:25 - "And the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon a rock."  The storms and testing of life reveal our foundation.   The problem is we don't know which day storms are coming, so we must continually keep our foundation strong.  - John Mark Brothers

Matthew 10:32 - "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in Heaven." With all the political news and agenda going on now we should use this as a time to let those around us know that we believe in Jesus Christ and tell them what He did for us. - Wes Smith

Matthew 4:19 - "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."  Are we following the Lord's leading when it comes to winning souls to Him, or do we stop too often at just leaving a tract or praying for someone?  This year I'm trying to be more attentive to the opportunities He gives me to present the full message to strangers as well as those on my salvation list. - Jason Barrett

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

Matthew 1:21 - "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Remember the reason we celebrate Christmas is not just for Christ's birth, but for His death. The purpose of His birth was so that He could die - so He could "save his people from their sins."  Praise the Lord that our salvation wasn't finished at His death, for He is RISEN! - Garrett Longest

Matthew 7:4 - "Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye,and behold a beam is in thine own eye?" We should be looking for small things in our lives to straighten out not being critical to our Christian brothers... - Wes Smith

Matthew 26:75 - "And Peter remembered the word of Jesus which said unto him Before the cock crow thou shalt deny me twice.  And he went out and wept bitterly." Peter's failures before the crucifixion allowed him to be the help God wanted him to be at Pentecost and throughout the rest of his life.  God has a way of humbling us so that we depend solely on Him.  You can choose to humble yourself or God will choose to do so. If we will learn from it like Peter, the positive is that it will make us better Christians and a help to those in need. - Jason Brothers

Matthew 25:23 - "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord." We will never hear "well done" at the end of our lives if He could not say it of yesterday's actions, or today's actions, or tomorrow's, or the next day's... Strive to hear "well done" of today. - Steve Boots

Matthew 6:26 - "Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?" Don't ever think that God is "too busy" to worry about you. If He cares enough to feed His birds, don't you think He cares enough to meet our needs? No matter how big or how small our needs are, God will always provide. - Garrett Longest
