There may be no sweeter word known to mankind than the word “grace.” It is by Grace that God has granted us His merciful kindness, turning us to Christ, keeping us, strengthening us, and giving us the ability to grow in the grace and knowledge of Himself. Simply, grace is the unmerited love and favor of God for you a sinner. Grace is something that begins and ends with the Sovereign Lord. Listen, men/women do not seek God, God seeks them (Romans 3:9-18). Men/women do not initiate salvation, God does! …

(Psalm 102:12-17)…..But You, O Lord, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. ¹³ You will arise and have mercy on Zion; For the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come. ¹⁴ For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, and show favor to her dust. ¹⁵ So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth Your glory. ¹⁶ For the Lord shall build up Zion; He shall appear in His glory. ¹⁷ He shall regard …

This last Sunday we served communion at our church service, and as we were serving it I wondered how many realize why we celebrate this ordinance in the body of Christ (the Church). For sure the Lord’s Supper was an important activity in the weekly assemblies of the early believers (Matthew 26:26-28) (Luke 22:17-20) (Acts 2:42) (Acts 20:7). Christians assembled on Sunday, the first day of the week, to break bread with one another as they celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Just like with many things in life, this …

(Psalm 37:4)…..Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. You should enjoy the Lord, not just serve Him out of obligation as some people do. Enjoying the LORD will mean loving Him with all that you have, and all of who you are. If you have a friend you enjoy being with, it is something you look forward to, not a burden or obligation. Much like prayer. It is a mistake to view prayer as a legalistic obligation. Prayer is a privilege. Time …

The greatest reality of history, is the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When the two women called Mary came to the tomb on the morning after Christ rose, they were greeted by an angel of the Lord with these words: “He is not here; for He is risen as He said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead …..” (Matthew 28:6-7).

In this passage, we find four imperatives of the …

(Philippians 4:13)…..I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. What a comforting verse to read and apply. Is it true? You know it is! Think of how many things our Lord has helped us through so that we might live in victory. (In 1871, tragedy struck Chicago as fire ravaged the city. When it was finally extinguished, the fire had taken over 300 lives and had left some 100,000 homeless. A man by the name of Horatio Gates Spafford was one of those who tried to help the people …

(1 Timothy 2:1-2 NASB)…..First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.

Believers have a responsibility to pray for their leaders. Ya, I know, I can hear you saying already that I don’t want to because I don’t like them. And yes I realize there is a good deal of wickedness in our government and such. …
