Hating the Light-Jack Blake
Thursday, March 13, 2025There was a time not that long ago when men committed their evil sinful acts under the cover of darkness, hating the light because it exposed them. See John 3.19. Today, like Sodom some seem to take pride in their sinful ways and rather than try to hide them they openly declare and support all kinds of wickedness and supporting those who say evil is good and good is evil. God help us!
Tearing down to rebuild-Jack Blake
Thursday, March 06, 2025Good Morning, Have you noticed all the tearing down of old buildings and new construction to take its place? It reminds me of what happens when we are transformed out of the darkness of sin and into His marvelous light through faith, repentance and baptism. We take off (tear down) the sinful ways of the old man, and put on (build up) a new man, renewed in the knowledge according to the image of our creator. The old is completely destroyed freeing us from all our old ways of sin that had structured our lives. And a new man is erected with godly ways to structure our lives with love, mercy, kindness and forgiveness, praising and honoring God in all, we do, think and speak. Colossians 3.9,10.
The Love of Money-Jack Blake
Monday, February 24, 2025Good Morning, The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil causing some to stray from the faith in their greediness and pierce themselves through with many sorrows. See 1 Timothy 6.10. If we allow it, wealth can become an idol and when you draw that last fleeting breath all your worldly wealth will be left behind and then whose wealth will it be? There is nothing wrong with having honestly earned wealth while here, but if you become greedy and obsessed with it, you are treading on very shaky ground.
Perilous Times-Jack Blake
Thursday, January 16, 2025Good Morning, Know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, head strong, haughty, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. 2 Timothy 3.1-5 ! From such people turn away. 2 Timothy 3.1-5. For no immoral nor impure person or covetous man , who is an idolator, has an inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not be partakers with them. Ephesians 5.5-7. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12.2.
Our Spirit Renewed-Jack Blake
Saturday, December 21, 2024Good Morning, I pray as did David in Psalms 51.9,10. Father hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me, that I might be renewed in the spirit of Your mind. Ephesians 4.23. In Jesus Name AMEN.
