A Good, Thankful and Faithful Heart-Jack Blake
Thursday, December 26, 2024Good Morning, As a new day which God has provided dawns, let us humbly, from a good and faithful heart be thankful. Let us enter and live this day with the same mind as Christ, edifying and serving one another with godly love, considering the needs of others above our own. May we rejoice with those who are rejoicing and weep with those who are weeping. Let us be as kind, merciful and forgiving as our Lord is to us. As we walk with the Lord in the light of His ways, may we do all things that bring honor, glory and praise to His glorious name. AMEN
The gospel of Jesus the Christ-Jack Blake
Wednesday, December 25, 2024Good Morning, and Merry Christmas to friends of God and disciples of Jesus, the beloved Son of God. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation. Romans 1.16. The gospel of Christ is the message of salvation from our sins, Luke 24,46,47. It is for the penitent, Matthew 4.17, all who have eyes that see and ears that hear the seriousness of their betraying the Father and mourn, Matthew 5.4, and hunger and thirst for righteousness, Matthew 5.6. They embrace the good news of the gospel that is offered in Christ, those who believe and confess openly that Christ is indeed the savior sent by the Father from above, Romans 10.9-10, and are eager to be buried with Christ in baptism so their sins might be forgiven, Acts 2.38. For the rest of their lives they live in newness of life, Romans 6.4 watching and waiting for the return of Christ and their eternal life with God, 2 Peter 3.10-13; 1 John 3.2-3.
From Bethlehem to Calvary-Jack Blake
Tuesday, December 24, 2024Good Morning, Without Bethlehem there would be no Calvary, without Calvary there would be no gospel, without the gospel there would be no salvation, no hope for mankind. Because of God's great love for us, He sent His beloved Son to this low ground of sin and sorrow to save, not destroy the world. Born in Bethlehem as the son of man, Jesus, was despised and forsaken by men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, journeyed from Bethlehem to Calvary where He suffered and gave His life on an old rugged cross, then resurrected by the Father, overcoming death and giving us hope of eternal life. We give thanks for Bethlehem and remember God is glorified at Calvary. Thanks for reading.
Gifts and gifting-Jack Blake
Monday, December 23, 2024Good Morning, This time of the year the economy is booming because of money we spend buying gifts for family, friends and loved ones. But the best things in life are free and the best gift ever was freely given by God and His beloved Son, Jesus. King of all kings, Lord of all lords who stands knocking at the door of man's heart waiting to come in. I am. not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation, Romans 1.16. Pay it forward, take the free gift of the gospel to someone today, you may just save a life.
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.
