Trust and Obey-Jack Blake

Tuesday, April 30, 2024

Good Morning

Blessed be the Lord our God who blesses us every day with His lovingkindness, mercy, grace and all that is good. He is our refuge and our strength, a real help in times of trouble. ( Psalms 46.1). In Him alone is eternal life, without Him is death and eternal damnation.

Reading from Jeremiah 17.7; Blessed is he who trusts in the Lord and whose hope is in the Lord. Trust and obey Him for He is the rock of our salvation, His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. (Psalm 119.105) Brethren and friends, God is our only hope. God gives and takes life as He chooses. We have life now, but no one knows when our last breath will be drawn.

Thanks for reading.

Be Sober, Be Vigilant-Jack Blake

Monday, April 22, 2024

Good Morning

If we, as disciples of Christ, are to stand against the wiles of our adversary, the devil, who walks among us, we must be sober minded and vigilant at all times knowing that we too can be taken in by his lying deceitful ways.  He is always looking for ways to attack not only us but also our children with immoral principals of lustful, fleshly, sinful ideals and passions which war against the soul and can weaken our faith.  Now is the time when we must be bold and courageous humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God as we fight for our faith fighting not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness in this age and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. (See Ephesians 6.12).  We must be loyal and true to Christ, abhorring all evil and clinging to what is good, not being overcome with evil but always doing what is good.  For whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house. (Proverbs 17.13).

God and Us-Jack Blake

Monday, April 15, 2024

Good Morning,

The God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament.  God doesn't change (Malachi 3.6).  It is sin that separates us from God, not the Bible (Isaiah 59.2).  God has blessed us with a scheme of redemption to save us from the sins that separate us from Him and to bring us back to a rightful relationship with Him.  The word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth.  He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord (Psalms 33.4-5).  Righteousness and justice is the foundation of His throne, mercy and truth go before His face (Psalms 89.14).  The Lord is longsuffering (patient) toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2.Peter 3.9).  God will not interfere with our freedom of choice; we can choose eternal life with Him or die in our sins and be eternally destroyed.

But for me and my house we shall serve the Lord (Joshua 24.15).

Trust and Hope in Jesus-Jack Blake

Tuesday, April 09, 2024

Greetings, Friends, and Brethren,

Through the resurrection of Jesus our Savior, the author and finisher of our faith, who has been given all authority over all things in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28.18).  We have hope.  No matter how wicked and evil the world becomes we have hope in His word; be of good cheer I have overcome the world and His promise; I will never leave you nor forsake you (John 16.33; Hebrews 13.5).  These things are for the obedient faithful and encourage us to follow Jesus every day.  Friends open your Bibles.  Read, hear and obey His word before it's too late.  Brethren do not let the world's trials and temptations cause you to drift from God.  Keep the faith, read your Bible daily, lean on His arms and remain faithful till death.

Trust in the Lord-Jack Blake

Greetings Friends, and Brethren,

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and on the good.  The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.  Therefore, lean not on your own understanding and do not be wise in your own eyes.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He shall direct your paths.  Fear the Lord and depart from evil, it will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself.  Trust Him, obey His commandments, love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with Your God.  For when a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with Him.

Proverbs 15.3; 2 Chronicles 16.9; Proverbs 3.5-8; Matthew 22.37-39; Micah 6.8; Proverbs 16.3.
