The Creator and the Created-Jack Blake
Saturday, August 24, 2024Good Morning,
God created man. And today, man thinks he can create God. I am totally confuse and frustrated about this (and some other things). Would someone, anyone explain to me how the created can create the one who created him? AS a friend of mine often says, MERCY!!
Be Ready to Give Account-Jack Blake
Saturday, July 06, 2024Good Morning,
According to the scriptures, each of us will give account of himself to God. Romans 14.12. We must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what we have done whether good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5.10. Since this is truth, we should not judge one another any more, but rather resolve this , not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fail in our brother's way. Let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things which one may edify another. Romans 14.13,19. May the God of patience and comfort grant us to be likeminded toward one another according to Christ Jesus, and with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Receive one another just as Christ received us; to the glory of God. Romans 15. 5-7.
Anger-Jack Blake
Wednesday, May 29, 2024Good Morning,
Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. (James 1.19-20). He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding; but the hasty of spirit exalts folly. (Proverbs 14.29). Let not angry words pass through the lips of the disciple towards others, for He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that rules his spirit than he who takes a city. (Proverbs 16.32). Beloved do not avenge yourselves. But rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "vengeance is mine, I will repay" says the Lord. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake forgives you. ( Ephesians 4.32).
His Open Arms-Jack Blake
Thursday, May 02, 2024Good Morning,
The foolishness of men of the world say in their hearts, there is no God. They boast in evil and wickedness, and with deceitful tongues they speak lies, and love evil more than good. And yet, God, out of His great love, still receives sinful man. He waits with open arms to take in all who will repent of their sins, confess Jesus as Gods beloved Son, and be buried with Him in baptism and rising up to walk in newness of life. We need to pray for the lost who have never known God, and those who have tasted of His goodness then turned back to the world. Pray they might see the error of their ways and come to Jesus before it is everlasting too late for their souls. Salvation is not found in the grave.
Remember from Whence You Came-Jack Blake
Monday, April 29, 2024Good Morning,
Where did we disciples come from? We came from living a life of vanity and pride. We came from a life of sin. We came from living in false religions, or no religion at all. We came from the snare of the devil. We have spent enough of our past lifetime away from God and doing the works of sin. Then we found the only one who was able to set us free. We found Jesus. We have crucified the flesh with its passions and desire and have been buried with Christ in baptism, and raised to walk in a new life. Walking by faith, we now live and walk in the Spirit. By the grace of God we are now His children. Let us glorify, praise, and bring honor to His holy name in all that we do.
