The Children of God-Jack Blake

Tuesday, May 07, 2024

Good Morning,

We are children of God by obedience, we are sons of God by inheritance. We are redeemed, forgiven and God's, own special people, that we may proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of the darkness of sin and into His marvelous light. We were once without mercy, but have now obtained mercy. We are disciples of Christ, we deny self and take up our cross daily to follow Him, His example, and His pattern of living. Whatever we. do in word or deed, we do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father though Him. We are Christians, humans who are fallible, persecuted, and once without hope but now have hope through Jesus the Christ who lovingly gave His life on the cross that we might have remission (forgiveness) of our sins. He laid down His life for us, and we owe our life to Him. Hallelujah what a Savior!!

From 1 Peter 2.9, 10; Matthew 16.24; Colossians 3.17.

Faith-Jack Blake

Monday, May 06, 2024

Good Monday Morning,

Paul told Timothy and by extension, us also, to be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, IN FAITH, in purity. ( 1 Timothy 4.12). Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance OF FAITH, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrews 10.22). Jesus the Christ, our lord, savior and protector, is the author and the finisher OF OUR FAITH, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand throne of God. (Hebrews 12.2). Therefore leaving the discussion of the elementary principals, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and OF FAITH toward God. (Hebrews 6.1). FAITH is the glorious victory that overcomes the world. But this FAITH must be an obedient FAITH. For FAITH without works is dead. (James 2.20).

Farther, increase our faith, give us knowledge and understanding. of your word as we study to show ourselves approved by You. Help us Father to never waver from our faith which gives us hope and inspiration.. In Jesus name, we pray AMEN!

True Wisdom-Jack Blake

Saturday, May 04, 2024

Good Morning,

It is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Worldly wisdom mislabels things. Man labeled the message of the cross of Christ and the salvation that comes by His death as foolishness. (1 Corinthians 1.18,21,23). Human wisdom cannot stand against God and He affirms "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. (V19). Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? (V20). The world does not know God. (v21). Worldly wisdom cannot compete with godly wisdom, for His so called foolishness is wiser than men. (V25). When the wise man, Solomon said " Get wisdom! Get understanding! in (Proverbs 4.5) He was speaking of godly and not worldly wisdom and understanding. For He continues in chapter 9. and verse 10, that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. So study the word of God to gain wisdom and understanding, for scripture tells us the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3.19) and your faith should not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2.5).

Culture vs God-Jack Blake

Friday, May 03, 2024

Good Morning,

Culture says: Hustle and sleep when you're dead.

God says: Rest in knowing that with God all things are possible. So walk on the pace of grace for your calling.

Culture says: You can't trust people, they will hurt you.

God says: The wrong people will hurt you, but the right people will heal you.

Culture says: Expose , shame, judge, and cancel.

God says: Expose, heal, correct, and redeem.

Culture says: Go where you're celebrated.

God says: Go where I called you to go. Everything you need is there. -Solo

Listen to God, not culture!

To my God a heart of flame, to my fellowman a heart of love, to myself a heart of steel. (Augustine of Hippo).

His Open Arms-Jack Blake

Thursday, May 02, 2024

Good Morning,

The foolishness of men of the world say in their hearts, there is no God. They boast in evil and wickedness, and with deceitful tongues they speak lies, and love evil more than good. And yet, God, out of His great love, still receives sinful man. He waits with open arms to take in all who will repent of their sins, confess Jesus as Gods beloved Son, and be buried with Him in baptism and rising up to walk in newness of life. We need to pray for the lost who have never known God, and those who have tasted of His goodness then turned back to the world. Pray they might see the error of their ways and come to Jesus before it is everlasting too late for their souls. Salvation is not found in the grave.
