    Let Us Rejoice In The Lord ( Psalm:118 )

    Praise Him Always Til The End Of Time, He will never leave us or forsake us as He made that promise to us. He has carved us in the palm of His hand. How precious it is to awaken in the morning and know that God is with us. There is a certain sense of security there; that He will always guard...

    Let Us Be Reconciled To God ( 2Cor.5 )

    God Became Flesh, So that He could overcome the sin of the flesh. God had no sin but became sin so that we may become believers in Him in righteousness. In dying with Him we have become ambassadors of the spirit. When we leave the flesh and become spirit our spirit can not sin. Our soul has...

    Jesus Came To Reveal God To The World ( John:17 )

    To Show Who God Is. Until that time, no one could imagine the face of God. In other words, until then God was a Spirit in the sky. This is not to say the God that Jesus showed was the only face of God. He had made Himself human in all respects while still maintaining Godliness. He showed us...

    New Patch On to Old Fabric ( Mark:2 )

    New Wine Into Old Wine Skin, That was the response by Jesus to His critics who were testing Him. So what does that mean? Is Jesus going into the wine business and garment business. Of course not. They were challenging Him on old traditions that He and the apostles weren't observing. So...

    I Have Been Crucified With Christ And I No Longer Live ( Gal.2 )

    But Christ Lives In Me, So says Paul as he is explaining our new creation in Christ. The life we now live, we live by faith in the Son. So it is by Grace that we receive this acceptance. It is not something we can earn, but it is something that we need to absorb in our hearts. These are not...

    Blessed Is He Who Come In The Name Of The Lord ( Psalm:118 )

    To Those Who Put Him First, In all who we are and what we do, our first hopes are in Him. We accept Him as our leader and our guide in holiness and purity. We can only come to that place with prayer and surrender. We don't come to that place by just following rules. Rules and regulations...

    What Will Our Heavenly Rewards Be?

    What is on earth is temporary and of the flesh. What is in heaven is total Spirit. We rise up to the Spirit, we don't pull it down to the flesh. To try to imagine paradise with a temporal mind is a non sequitur . We will know when we get there. Let's just have a joyful journey as we follow in...

    Though Outwardly We Are Wasting Away ( 2Cor.4 )

    Yet Inwardly We Are Being Renewed Day By Day, But we do not lose heart because as scripture says, the One who will raise Jesus will also raise us with Him one day. So we don't concentrate on what is seen but on what is unseen. What is seen is only temporary but what is unseen is eternal. We...

    When Christ Who Is Your Life Appears ( Col.3 )

    You Also Will Appear With Him In Glory, So says Paul in Colossians. For us it means that once we take on Christ in our lives we have died to our old self. Dying is something that is now dead and gone. It no longer exists and should be forgotten. Whatever we have done in the past is now left...

    Speak Lord Your Servant Is Listening ( 1Samuel:3 )

    Show Me The Way, How important it is to stop and hear the Lord. In our prayer, besides petitions, it's necessary to just hear the Lord. Most ask for help from the Lord when they feel in need and have faith that God will provide as He said He would. But we also need to take time to have...

    Trust The Lord With All Your Heart ( Proverbs:3 )

    In All Your Ways Submit To Him, So says Proverbs as it talks about wisdom. That means when we make our decisions we engage God in the process always. If we are able to do that, we will be right most of the time. Without His help, it is easy to wander astray as we start to make decision that...

    Jesus Said I Am The Bread Of Life ( John:6 )

    Whoever Comes To Me Will Never Hunger, So we compare that to eating food to sustain our earthly bodies for survival. Jesus is opening the door now for us to partake of Spiritual food, this sustains our soul. We live, we learn and then we surrender to Him. In order to grow in heavenly things...

    We Will Run And Not Grow Weary ( Isaiah:40 )

    For Our God Will Be Our Strength, When we stumble, God catches us, when we fall, He picks us up. Our God is a God of mercy and forgiveness and is always ready to reconcile with us when we leave Him through sin. Yes He will forgive again and again as He told Peter when he asked; how many times...

    Always Be Joyful In The Lord ( Phil.4 )

    Scriptures Tell Us That, It is written both in the New Testament and the Old testament. Well I believe most of us would ask the question "How can I be always joyful". If we think about it though, I don't believe God is saying walk around with a smile all day. Although that would be ideal it is...

    You Are All One In Jesus, There is nothing in this world that we should ever strive for, beyond the kingdom of God. All that is wrong in our life and all that can ever be wrong in our life has become ashes because of Christ on the cross. In Him all lessons are learned, all love is fulfilled...

    The Old Home Town

    A lonesome half moon dangles In an early morning misty sky. No stars to see, a silhouette of A tree against the flickering of a Streetlamp, alone and desolate On a one street town that once Was my home. Echoes of Nothingness were sifting through The memories of my ears as the Yard where we...
