Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Having been buried with Christ Jesus through baptism into death, just as He was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we also should walk in newness of life.  We now belong to Him and those who are His have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  No longer do we let sin reign in our mortal bodies that we should obey its lusts, but now present ourselves to God as being alive from the dead and our members as instruments of righteousness to God.  In this new life we now live in His truth and strive to please Him in all we do, that we may walk worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him.  Out of our pure love for Christ we are committed to obey His commandments.  Live for Jesus, give Him all you have to give, for if we died with Him, we shall also live with Him and if we endure we shall also reign with Him.  But if we deny Him, He will also deny us.

Romans 6.3-4;Galatians 5.24; Romans 6.12-13; Colossians 1.10; John 14.15; 2 Timothy 2.11-12.

Greetings Friends,

Love never fails, we should never fail to walk by faith in the light of God's word.  We must always strive to keep the unity of Spirit in the bond of peace.  Do not grow weary in well doing.  Lean on Jesus when the storms of life prevail, He will see you through for He has promised to never leave nor forsake you.  Trust, obey, add to your faith, be faithful unto death and receive the crown of life.  What the Lord promised, He will do for He is a just God who cannot lie.

Greetings, Brethern anf Friends,

Jesus came as a light in the world, that whoever believes in Him should not abide in darkness - John 12.46.  And scripture further tells us that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all - 1 John 1.5.  Jesus does not want any to perish, and I do not want to be destroyed by sins darkness.  So I choose to walk in the light of Jesus, not in the darkness of sin and I pray you do too.

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Are the clouds of sorrow surrounding you?  Are you weary from doing good and discouraged because your goodness did not bring the results you had hoped for?  Do you feel as though no one cares, so why go on trying?  Now is not the time to quit.  Now is the time to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God for He cares for you and wants you to cast all your cares on Him.  Jesus said: "come unto Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul.  For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Greetings Brethren and Friends,

Before the foundation of the world, God had a plan to redeem us from our sins for the purpose of glorifying Him.  He put all things under His feet, and gave Christ to be to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all-Ephesisan 1.22,23. He chose us to be with Him before the foundation of the world-Ephesians 1.4.  This was the plan of the soverign, all knowing, all powerful God.  God has always wanted us to be holy and without blame in a relationship with Him.  He loved us and sent His Son Jesus, that through Him, by His grace we might be saved.  But it is really not about us, it's all for God's glory.  We should be at the center of God's world, not He at the center of our world.  Through Jesus we are redeemed and accepted into fellowship with Him and In Him we obtain an eternal inheritance and He gives us the Holy Spirit to seal our inheritance.  We are beneficiaries of God glorifying Himself and we should be grateful and thankful.  But it's not about us.  It's all about Him.
