God and Us-Jack Blake
Monday, April 15, 2024Good Morning,
The God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament. God doesn't change (Malachi 3.6). It is sin that separates us from God, not the Bible (Isaiah 59.2). God has blessed us with a scheme of redemption to save us from the sins that separate us from Him and to bring us back to a rightful relationship with Him. The word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord (Psalms 33.4-5). Righteousness and justice is the foundation of His throne, mercy and truth go before His face (Psalms 89.14). The Lord is longsuffering (patient) toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2.Peter 3.9). God will not interfere with our freedom of choice; we can choose eternal life with Him or die in our sins and be eternally destroyed.
But for me and my house we shall serve the Lord (Joshua 24.15).
Trust and Hope in Jesus-Jack Blake
Tuesday, April 09, 2024Greetings, Friends, and Brethren,
Through the resurrection of Jesus our Savior, the author and finisher of our faith, who has been given all authority over all things in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28.18). We have hope. No matter how wicked and evil the world becomes we have hope in His word; be of good cheer I have overcome the world and His promise; I will never leave you nor forsake you (John 16.33; Hebrews 13.5). These things are for the obedient faithful and encourage us to follow Jesus every day. Friends open your Bibles. Read, hear and obey His word before it's too late. Brethren do not let the world's trials and temptations cause you to drift from God. Keep the faith, read your Bible daily, lean on His arms and remain faithful till death.
Trust in the Lord-Jack Blake
Monday, April 01, 2024Greetings Friends, and Brethren,
The eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and on the good. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. Therefore, lean not on your own understanding and do not be wise in your own eyes. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and He shall direct your paths. Fear the Lord and depart from evil, it will be health to your flesh and strength to your bones. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself. Trust Him, obey His commandments, love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with Your God. For when a man's ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with Him.
Proverbs 15.3; 2 Chronicles 16.9; Proverbs 3.5-8; Matthew 22.37-39; Micah 6.8; Proverbs 16.3.
Make the Day Count-Jack Blake
Thursday, March 28, 2024Greetings 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.
Come Unto Me-Jack Blake
Saturday, March 23, 2024Greetings 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."
