The Eye is the Lamp of the Body-Jack Blake
Monday, November 18, 2024Good Morning, The lamp of the body is the eye according to the scriptures. If the eye is good the whole body is filled with light. If the eye is bad the whole body is filled with darkness. If the light in us is darkness, how great is that darkness? Turn your eyes upon Jesus and His cross and let the light of His word so shine that others will see your good works and glorify the Father in heaven. Matthew 6.22-23; Matthew 5.16; Luke 11.34-36.
Jesus is Coming-Jack Blake
Saturday, November 16, 2024Good Morning, Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day as long as it is called today, so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3.12-13. For it is appointed for man once to die, THEN COMES THE JUDGEMENT! So Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin but to those who eagerly await Him. Hebrews 9.27-28. Let everyone who is godly pray to God in a time He may be found acknowledging our sins to him, and not try to hide our iniquities from Him, but confess our transgressions to Him. Psalms 32.5-6. Jesus is coming in the clouds one day soon, morning or night or noon, only God knows the hour. Until then we, need to prepare our hearts, know His commandments, and do them.
The Word, the Cross, the Gospel-Jack Blake
Friday, November 15, 2024Good Morning, 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. AndI I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation. Romans 1.16. God's grace which brings salvation has appeared to all men and teaches us to live soberly, righteously and godly in this present age, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts. The Lord sets apart for Himself those who through obedience to His word are godly, those who love Him with all their heart, soul, and mind and those who are strong and courageous, take up their cross daily and follow Him. It is by way of the cross that leads us to our heavenly, eternal home. So seek you first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and meditate on His word which is true, just, pure, lovely and of good report and remain faithful to Him until death and you will recvive the crown of life. Revelation 2.10. God wishes none to perish but that all men everywhere would repent and come to Him. We owe our life to Him, He gave His life for us.
My Heart, my Heart, my God-Jack Blake
Thursday, November 14, 2024Good Morning, According to the scriptures, from the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness and blasphemies. Matthew 15.9. Man's heart reveals the man. Proverbs 27.19; For as a man thinks in his heart so is he. If we allow Satan, and not God to rule in our hearts we will most certainly stray from God's ways and our hearts will be hardened against Him. Oh, my God, create in me a clean heart; renew a steadfast spirit within me; search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxieties, and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the Way everlasting. My heart, my heart, my God, yearns for You and Your righteous ways. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN, AMEN. Psalms 139.23,24.
Living for Jesus-Jack Blake
Wednesday, November 13, 2024iGood Morning, Our salvation was obtained through Jesus the Christ, Son of God and the only name by which salvation is possible. He came, He taught, did many miracles, was rejected by His own, suffered and died by crucifixion for the sins of the world. In Him we live and move and have our being. Acts 17.28. Living for Jesus is to walk by faith with Him, in the light of His word, having the same mind as He, humble, loving, caring, merciful, forgiving others just as He has forgiven us. Philippians 2. Living for Jesus we will suffer persecution from the world and sometimes within the church. Living our life for Jesus is not always sunshine and roses. But quitting is never an option for those who choose to pick up their cross daily and follow Him. Living for Jesus is not for the weak and faint hearted. but for the strong and courageous who are striving to please Him.
