Seeking God
Only God can Supply-Jack Blake
Wednesday, September 11, 2024Good Morning,
Progressivism refuses to acknowledge or accept the need for God in this life. Progressives lean on man's own understanding which says there is no problem that can't be overcome and our goals can be achieved by our thinking and actions of our feelings. We may have feelings of inward unrest but that can be resolved by our awareness of the situation and meditation. All of our outward problems can be solved by science and technology. God is not essential any longer and is even losing His place spiritually. How sad is this? We face the danger of war, there is hunger and disease. and you must admit there is an increase in suicide here and around the world, can it be our progress has many disillusioned and disturbed. Maybe just maybe there is no human solution to our problems, science and technology does not solve all our problems. Truthfully we are unable to help ourselves where help is needed most. Science and technology can help with life's lesser problems, but there is no denying we need help only God can supply. We cannot solve the problem of sin nor the return to God alone. The cross where Jesus died tells us the goodness of men is not good enough.
Being Like Christ-Jack Blake
Friday, September 06, 2024Good Morning,
You have put off the old self with its deeds and practices, Colossians 3.9, and have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires and now belong to Christ. Galatians 5.24, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created you. Colossians 3.9, 10. We are to have the mind of Christ, Romans 12.16 and be like Him in character. Putting off the old man and putting on the new is both something we did in the past, as seen in the Colossian letter, and in Ephesians 4.22-24. It is stated as a command. This is not easy, but the disciple is to grow in Christ, adding daily to his faith. I myself and I'm sure others are lacking in this command. Pray for us.

Seek you first the Kingdom of God. Mattew 6.33. For whoever finds Me, finds life and obtains favor from the Lord. But he who sins against Me, wrongs His own soul; and those who hate Me, love death. Proverbs 8.30-31. Fear the Lord and keep His commandments, for this is man's all. Ecclesiastes 12.13. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; pride and arrogance and the evil way. And the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8.13. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If You love Me, keep My commandments." John 14 6-15.
The Two Greatest Commandments-Jack Blake
Thursday, August 22, 2024Good Morning,
Love God with all your being!! Love your neighbor as yourself!! Christ said these are the two greatest commandments, said the Master of all things in heaven and on earth. Matthew 22.36-39. And yet, and yet, too many humans who were created by God don't get it and I wonder why. God help us.
