Make the Day Count-Jack Blake
Thursday, March 28, 2024Greetings Friends,
Love never fails, we should never fail to walk by faith in the light of God's word. We must always strive to keep the unity of Spirit in the bond of peace. Do not grow weary in well doing. Lean on Jesus when the storms of life prevail, He will see you through for He has promised to never leave nor forsake you. Trust, obey, add to your faith, be faithful unto death and receive the crown of life. What the Lord promised, He will do for He is a just God who cannot lie.
Mercy-Jack Blake
Wednesday, March 27, 2024Greetings Friends,
According to the scriptures, we are to love mercy - Micah 6. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart - Proverbs 3.3. And Jesus said " I desire mercy and not sacrifice" - Matthew 9.13. Let us therefore come boldly before the throne of grace that we might obtain mercy and find grace in time of need - Hebrews 4.16. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy - Matthew 5.7. Therefore be merciful just as your Father also is merciful - Luke 6.36.
The Message of the Cross-Jack Blake
Tuesday, March 26, 2024Greetings Friends,
The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, But to us who are being saved, it is the power of God - 1 Corinthians 1.18. In His letter to Rome, Paul wrote: I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes - Romans 1.16. The message of the cross is the precious story of Jesus. It tells how He was tempted, but triumphant. He was sinless but labored to save the world from its sins. Yet, He was despised, afflicted, tortured, rejected, mocked and finally put to death, nailed to a cross, suspended between heaven and earth with two criminals, buried in a borrowed tomb paying the price for our sins. But our Heavenly Father resurrected Him and He overcame death. Now through Him all who believe, repent and obey can have forgiveness of sins and hope of eternal life.
Father, this morning we pray for the lost who are perishing, that they might receive the good news of the message of the cross; the gospel of Jesus and would see the error of their ways that their hearts be softened and convict them so they would repent, confess and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of their sins. Father, help us who are being saved by Your power to tell the good news of the gospel to all who might cross our paths today. May we ever be faithful to You and Your word.
In Jesus name, AMEN.
The Light of the World-Jack Blake
Monday, March 25, 2024Greetings, Brethern anf Friends,
Jesus came as a light in the world, that whoever believes in Him should not abide in darkness - John 12.46. And scripture further tells us that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all - 1 John 1.5. Jesus does not want any to perish, and I do not want to be destroyed by sins darkness. So I choose to walk in the light of Jesus, not in the darkness of sin and I pray you do too.
Come Unto Me-Jack Blake
Saturday, March 23, 2024Greetings Brethren and Friends,
Are the clouds of sorrow surrounding you? Are you weary from doing good and discouraged because your goodness did not bring the results you had hoped for? Do you feel as though no one cares, so why go on trying? Now is not the time to quit. Now is the time to humble yourself under the mighty hand of God for He cares for you and wants you to cast all your cares on Him. Jesus said: "come unto Me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
