Living for Jesus-Jack Blake
Wednesday, November 13, 2024iGood Morning, Our salvation was obtained through Jesus the Christ, Son of God and the only name by which salvation is possible. He came, He taught, did many miracles, was rejected by His own, suffered and died by crucifixion for the sins of the world. In Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17.28. Living for Jesus is to walk by faith with Him, in the light of His word, having the same mind as He, humble, loving, caring, merciful, forgiving others just as He has forgiven us. Philippians 2. Living for Jesus we will suffer persecution from the world and sometimes within the church. Living our life for Jesus is not always sunshine and roses. But quitting is never an option for those who choose to pick up their cross daily and follow Him. Living for Jesus is not for the weak and faint hearted. but for the strong and courageous who are striving to please Him.
Come, Lord Jesus-Jack Blake
Thursday, October 17, 2024Good Morning,
Disciples of Christ are sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor darkness; those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk, get drunk at night; we are not to sleep as others do, but at all times we are to be alert and sober, for we know not the hour when the Lord shall come, but scripture tells us that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night, He will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with then trumpet of God; See 1 Thessalonians chapter 5. and chapter 4.16. So rejoice always, pray without ceasing and in everything give thanks for this is God's will for you in Christ, Jesus. Come Lord Jesus!
Dwell In Safety-Jack Blake
Tuesday, October 08, 2024Good Morning,
But know that the Lord has set apart the godly man for Himself; the Lord hears. Tremble and do not sin; meditate in your heart upon your bed and be still. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and trust in the Lord. In peace I will both lie down in peace and sleep, for You alone Lord. O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.
Psalms 4.3-5 & 8.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus-Jack Blake
Saturday, October 05, 2024Good Morning,
We are living in difficult and trying times. On one hand, God is telling us to be different from the world while on the other hand, our adversary, the devil is pulling and tugging on us to leave God and follow his evil, destructive ways. We can spend far too much time worring about tomorrow and things we do not have any control over. But Jesus said, do not be unwise but understand what the will of the Lord is and walk circumspectly; not as fools but as wise redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5.16-17, and turn your eyes upon Jesus for burdens are lifted at Calvary.
Faith Is-Jack Blake
Thursday, October 03, 2024Good Morning,
According to the scriptures, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11.1. Faith is a very necessary part of the disciple's life; for without faith we cannot please Him, for to come to God, one must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11.6. Our faith comes by hearing and doing the word of God. Romans 10.17. To be a Christian means we are in Christ and Christ abides in us, so we walk by faith, not by sight, in confidence that when we leave this body we will be present with the Lord. Our faith must be a working, obedient faith, a faith that grows as we add to it. James 2.14-17; 2 Peter 1.5-8. In the life of the disciple, faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
