(Hebrews 10:23 – NKJV)…..Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

Do you ever think about the things you say? What people hear coming from your mouth, that really is coming from your heart (Luke 6:45). Think about your confession that people hear.

What you say about Jesus Christ …

What do you think of when you hear the word “Ebenezer”? You might remember the motion picture “A Christmas Carol” where Ebenezer Scrooge is unkind and expresses his dislike for Christmas until some ghostly visitors teach him a few lessons concerning his life. 

But the Bible is much older than the Charles Dickens story. In the Old Testament, the prophet Samuel named a rock Ebenezer! Have you ever thought od naming a rock by that name? Samuel and other Israelites were gathered in a town called …

(Ephesians 2:8-9 – NKJV)….. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
