Good Morning,

As disciples in Christ, we are to grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be glory both now and forever. Amen. (2 Peter 3.18).  We grow through study of His word, (2 Timothy 2.15) and meditating on things that are true, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (Philippians 4.8). And beside this we are to add to our faith, for scripture says if these things are in us, and abound, they make us that we shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3.1), and Christ's word will dwell richly in us (Colossians 3.16).

Father, keep us in Your loving care, and help us and guide us to grow in you more and more each day as we travel this pilgrim road to our eternal home with You in heaven. In Jesus name, AMEN.

Good Morning,

God sent Jesus that the world, through Him, might be saved (John 3.17).  And He gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. (Galatians 1.4)  This same Jesus, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, has commanded us to go and make disciples of every nation, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things which He has commanded us.  The world needs to know the life saving gospel of Jesus the Christ, which clearly teaches that, YES Christ still receives sinful man.

Greetings,

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16.16), who has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and has commanded us to go and make disciples of all the nations (Matthew 28.18,19).  If we love Him we will keep His commandments, I say it again, if we love Him we will keep His commandments.  He is the way, the truth, and the life, and the only way to the Father is through Him (John 14.6).  He is the Son of God (John 20.31), and the son of man (Luke 22.48).  He is our hope and faith and mystery of godliness (1 Timothy 1.1, 14; 3.16).  He is God's chosen one to descend from His heavenly place to this low ground of sin and sorrow, to suffer and die for the world's sin.  Jesus is all of this and so much more, to Him I owe my life.

Greetings, Friends and Brethren,

The views of the world, and I am sad to say, even some who claim to be Christians concerning God and His word is nothing short of crucifying Jesus again.  The tempting of God by raising up the wicked and instead of exposing their wrongs, blessing those who call evil good and good evil is just morally and spiritually wrong.  But the true disciple, that is those who love and fear the Lord, empty themselves of worldly ways by crucifying the flesh with its passions and desires and deny self to do what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12.1,2).  They take heed knowing they too can fall from His grace (1 Corinthians 10.12).  They feed on God's word daily to strengthen and refresh their faith.  They know that there is coming a day when we all will appear before the judgement seat of Christ to give account of the things done in the body whether good or bad. (2 Corinthians 5.10), and they prepare their heart.  Our world would oh so better, if we found more Bibles on the table, and mothers singing Rock of Ages cleft for me.  Words of a country song; "Family Bible."

Greetings Friends,

The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,  But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God - 1 Corinthians 1.18.  In His letter to Rome, Paul wrote: I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes - Romans 1.16.  The message of the cross is the precious story of Jesus.  It tells how He was tempted, but triumphant.  He was sinless but labored to save the world from its sins.  Yet, He was despised, afflicted, tortured, rejected, mocked and finally put to death, nailed to a cross, suspended between heaven and earth with two criminals, buried in a borrowed tomb paying the price for our sins.  But our Heavenly Father resurrected Him and He overcame death. Now through Him all who believe, repent and obey can have forgiveness of sins and hope of eternal life.

Father, this morning we pray for the lost who are perishing, that they might receive the good news of the message of the cross; the gospel of Jesus and would see the error of their ways that their hearts be softened and convict them so they would repent, confess and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of their sins.  Father, help us who are being saved by Your power to tell the good news of the gospel to all who might cross our paths today. May we ever be faithful to You and Your word. 

In Jesus name, AMEN.
