GoodMorning,  

Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?  Jesus has the answer; "Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy hearted, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me for I am gentle and lowly in in heart and you will find rest for your souls.  My yoke is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11.28-30.  And to the faithful He said:"I will never leave you nor forsake you.. So we may boldly say: The Lord is my helper, I have no fear, what can man do to me?"  So if you find yourself burdened with this wicked and perverse generation, TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS LOOK FULL IN HIS WONDERFUL FACE, AND The THINGS OF EARTH WILL GROW SLOWLY DIM IN THE LIGHT OF HIS GLORY AND GRACE!

Good Morning,

It's such a pretty day today in St. John  The sun is brightly shining and God is showing His splendor and beauty in all the eye can see and the hands touch.

Father, thank you for this day you have provided for us, for your word on which we stand that guides us and gives us hope and reason to go on.  The heavens truly declare your glory and the firmament shows your handiwork. Psalms 19.1.  While even though our outward man is perishing yet the inner man is being renewed day by day 2 Corinthians 4.16, as we study your word to hear and do Your will.  Thank you, Father, for all you do to help us on our journey through this pilgrim land to our eternal, heavenly home.  In Jesus name we pray. AMEN

Good Morning,

If you become discouraged, worried, lonely, or depressed, you can find comfort and help in John 14.1.  Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  And in Philippians 4. 6-8,  Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.  Cast all your cares on Him for He cares for you.  Let the peace of God rule in your hearts for God is our refuge our strength real help in time of trouble.  He has promised to never leave nor forsake the faithful.

Good Morning,

Being thankful this morning that our citizenship is not on this earth, but in heaven living eternal with our Lord.  It is sometimes difficult t0 live in this world with those who are enemies of the cross, whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their mind own earthly things.  While we (God's children) eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lorde, Jesus Christ who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.  What a day, glorious day, that will be.  Be strong and courageous, brethren, the battle belongs too the Lord and we will be victorious in the end!

Good morning.

Today we will remember that all men have a serious disease that only one person had a remedy for.  That disease is SIN, Romans 3:23.  The result of that particular disease is death, Romans 6:23.  Mankind with all their human wisdom and wonderful medical knowledge have no solution for this disease.  Why?  Human remedies are of no help with this spiritual illness.  Only the sacrifice of the Son of God gave mankind true hope of finding a way out of this terrible situation, Romans 5:8-9; 1 Peter 1:18-19.  Yet, sadly so many don’t know they have this disease.  Others will not accept the truth that only by applying that blood to their sin stained soul can one be redeemed and have true salvation.  What can we do to help our fellow man?  Take the message of the true gospel of Jesus Christ to every person, Matthew 28:18-20.  This is the power to save—the message of the cross, Romans 1:16.  Why not humble ourselves and look to Him who died in order to give true meaning to this life and that one to come!  Open your heart today and mediate on His precious words of life, John 6:63.  God leaves that choice to each of us, Romans 6:16-18.  Please consider the value of your soul and terrible price to be paid to reject His gracious offer, 2 Corinthians 5:10-11. Time is on God’s side not ours.
