Seek His Face-Jack Blake
Tuesday, November 26, 2024Good Morning, God has created everyone, of every nation, every kindred, every tongue. All are created in His image. I can do nothing without Him.

Glorify our God-Jack Blake
Monday, November 25, 2024Good Morning, There are many reasons to Glorify God. We should Glorify God in the power of His creation and in the power He displays in the universe; The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. Psalms 19.1. He causes the sun to rise from one end of heaven and complete its circuit by setting in the opposite end. In between the rising and the setting of the sun we see the brightness and the beauty of His creation. Glorify God! He has made the moon and the stars to rule and give light to the night. Glorify God! His word which is perfect, teaches us the moral values of this life making wise the simple; His statutes bring joy to the heart. Glorify God! He gave us His only Son, Jesus the Christ, who gave His life for our sins shedding His precious blood that cleanses the soul and washes away our sins giving us hope of eternal life. Glorify God! He has mercy on us and gives us His saving grace forgiving us our sins as we repent of them. Glorify God! Let us be thankful, praising and glorifying His holy name humbly and often.
Growing older in Christ-Jack Blake

But we also become more excited and enthusiastic by the thought of getting closer to the goal for which we have lived which fills us with a zest that simply cannot be experienced any earlier in life.

Is Your Heart Right With God-Jack Blake
Friday, November 22, 2024Good Morning, The Lord does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. 1 Samuel 16.7. This being true, God desires the heart that is pure, humble, loving and obedient. A heart that listens, hears and does God's will pleases the God of our salvation. Man's circumstances and troubles of this world may test our faith and our patience, but it is the righteous God who tests the heart and mind and saves the upright in heart. Jesus the Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Matthew 5.8. Where lies your heart this morning? Will it pass the test of God? Is your heart right with God?
Our Example-Jack Blake
Thursday, November 21, 2024Good Morning, Christ lived to give us an example of how we should live, and sacrificed His life, being crucified on the cross for the sins of the world.

All praise, glory and honor to His name!
