The Old Becomes New-Jack Blake
Friday, March 21, 2025Spring time has arrived in Northwest, Indiana. The weather begins to warm and by God’s divine power nature comes back to life. Feeling the warmth of the sunlight and seeing the trees, grass and shrubs begin to change color after laying dormant for the fall and winter months, I am reminded of God giving new life in the resurrection of His beloved Son from death that we might have forgiveness of our repented sins and give us hope of eternal life with Him. And how we arise from our burial with Christ in baptism to walk in newness of life. The old dies and the new is born! truly we serve a living and powerful God.
Are You Ready-Jack Blake
Saturday, March 15, 2025There’s a great day coming by and by and perhap sooner than later. It will be a great and glorious day for the faithful of God, who have fought the good fight. For those who have loved and obeyed the Lord while here on earth. But for the sons of disobedience including those who once knew God but later rejected His ways, it will be a a sad and dreadful day. The faithful servant on that day will hear the Lord say, “Well done good and faithful servant.”but the disobedient and unfaithful will hear “Depart from Me, I never knew you.” Will it be a great and glorious day or a sad and dreadful day for you? Are you ready for the Lord to come?
The Gift of Salvation-Jack Blake
Saturday, March 08, 2025Victory and eternal salvation are gifts offered to us from God through Lord Jesus. But like all gifts they must be received from the giver and accepted as given by trusting, obeying and being faithful to His word until death. By this we can be victorious over sin,death, and the spiritual forces of wickedness and have blessed assurance of eternal salvation.
A Prayer for Today-Jack Blake

Blessed-Jack Blake
Monday, March 03, 2025Good Morning, This is the day which the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118.24. How blest we are that the Lord has given us another day to live for Him. Let us use this day to be kind to one another, to encourage a weary soul, to be forgiving of those who have done us wrong. Being aware that the flesh is at war with the spirit, and the spirit with the flesh because they oppose one another, so we do not do the things we please, let us choose to do good and flee evil. Whatever we do in word or deed let us do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. May the word of God dwell in us richly on this day which the Lord has given us. Father, Help us to live today in a way that is pleasing to You; bringing praise, honor and glory to Your Holy name. Through Jesus we pray, AMEN.
