Do Nor be Conformed to the World-Jack Blake
Tuesday, June 11, 2024Good Morning,
Do not be conformed to the world; the world is full of empty deceit and wickedness. The world hates God and all who follow Him. The world listens and hears those who speak and do worldly things. But we are to come out from among them, and be transformed by the renewing of your mind, for the beloved Son of God, Jesus has overcome the world. John 16.33. By and through Him, we become God's children and He hears us, for He is the head of all principality and power; in Him we are complete. Colossians 2.9-10. Love and trust God, for He is the only one who can save your poor wicked soul.

Jesus, The Way of Truth-Jack Blake
Saturday, May 25, 2024Good Morning,
"The law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ," the Lamb of God. (See John 1.17, 36). Jesus said, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me, and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free." (John 14.6, John 8.32). The Lord is near and all His commandments are true. (Psalms 119.151). Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. By this we know that we are of the truth and shall assure our hearts before Him. (1 John 3.18-19). His word is truth (John 17.17). The Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations. (Psalms 100.5). Being His disciples we are to feed on His word, which is truth, do His commandments and walk and worship Him in truth and in spirt. (John 4.24).
There is No Other Way-Jack Blake
Thursday, May 23, 2024Good Morning,
Do you believe in God? Have you made the great confession that Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God and that He died for our sins? Do you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God? If you answered yes to all of the above, do you believe you are saved?
Read and hear the scriptures. Even the demons believe in God and tremble. (James 2.19). They even fear God. and many of them confessed Jesus to be the Son of God. (Luke 4. 41). But they still remained demons, and their belief did not change them. Many of the rulers believed in God, but were afraid to confess Him because of the pharisees who would put them out of the synagogue. Proving the loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. (John 12. 42,43). Rulers also believed in Jesus and that He was the Christ, but would not confess or follow Him. (Matthew 10.32,33). We can be believers, but still be in a lost condition. For Jesus said: "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." (Continue reading Matthew 7.21,23). Those people were religious, sincere, believers in God, but were still lost, rejected by Christ, because they did not obey the will of their Heavenly Father. If there is any hope of entering the Kingdom of heaven, we must believe, obey and do the Father's will. Read also James 2.24; John 6.29; Colossians 2.12; Ephesians 2.10). Jesus asks us: "Why do you call Me Lord, Lord, but do not do the things which I say?" (Luke 6.46). If you love Me keep My commandments. (John 14.15). There is no other way but His.

His Word is Truth-Jack Blake
Wednesday, May 22, 2024Good Morning,
All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away: But the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word by which the gospel is preached to you. But we were born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which lives and abides forever. (See 1 Peter 1.23-25). So the grass may wither, and the flower fade; but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (See Isaiah 40.8). It is written, heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away. (Matthew 24.35). Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word which is able to save your souls. And be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. (James 1.21, 22). For His word is a lamp to the feet and lights our path. (Psalms 119.105). So let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. (Colossians 3.16). For His word is truth. (John 17.17).
Sins of Ignorance-Jack Blake
Wednesday, May 08, 2024Good Morning,
The God inspired word has plainly told us that those who do not know Him and do not obey the gospel of Christ will be separated from Him for all eternity. (See Matthew 25.31-46; 2 Thessalonians 1.7-9; 1 John 2.3-6). It is our individual responsibility to seek God (See Acts 17.27; Hebrews 11.6). If we do not seek Him and serve Him we are without excuse. (Romans 11.19-22; Psalms 19.1). It is a sad thing that many sincere religious people believe they are serving God. They should consider Paul before His conversion and they would see that like Paul they are mistaken and are still dead in their sins. (See Proverbs 14,12; Romans 10.1-3). Even after we become Christians we are commanded to keep studying the word that keeps us from being led astray by false teaching in ignorance. (1 Timothy 4.13-16; 2 Timothy 2.15-18; 2 Peter 3. 15-18). May we all diligently study to make sure we are not living in sins of ignorance. Then let us labor tirelessly to reach out and teach those who do not know God or His plan for salvation. (1 Corinthians 15.58; Galatians 6.9).
