The Expert Witness

'So God has given us two unchanging things: His promise and His oath. These prove that it is impossible for God to lie. As a result, we who come to God for refuge might be encouraged to seize that hope that is set before us. That hope is real and true, an anchor to steady our restless souls, a hope that leads us back behind the curtain to where God is (as the high priests did in the days when reconciliation flowed from sacrifices in the temple) and back into the place where Jesus, who went ahead on our behalf, has entered since He has become a High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:18-20 (VOICE)

Who can you trust? There is none but the Lord. So then, in this expert Witness of the highest order we can firmly believe, place your trust in God. For He alone is worthy of our trust and our praise. He never changes. He is the same from everlasting to everlasting. There is none so righteous and true that you can believe in what He has said and done. None but the Lord. Everything. Everyone. Everywhere.

Lying goes against His nature. Bad council goes against His will. There is no deceit or deception in Him. God cannot lie. He is reliable. Two things we can know for certain; the destruction of the unbeliever and the salvation of the believer. With full knowledge of our inheritance, the believer is secure and happy. In both of these truths, the weak are given strong confidence.

For the believer, their lives, even though tossed about in the storms of life as a ship on the seas, are full of gospel hope. With Christ as their anchor to keep them steady they endure every trial, for God is merciful to them and Christ redeems them through it all in His covenant of grace. He is Holy. He is steadfast. He is faithful and His Love endures forever.

With such a great Love as this we are hopeful and the reason for that hope leads us behind the curtain to where God is. We are led to believe in Him. He is our High Priest. We shall see Him as He truly is. The Trinity; God the Father full of grace, Christ His Son our mediator and the powerful Holy Spirit. We can see Him as Truth and believe in Him and His promises. Jesus Saves.

How great it is to know Him as personal Savior. For all of our broken promises to Him, we trust Him and He forgives. For those heaven bound, we should give Him a shout of praise for His sacrifices to us and pursue Him with everything we've got! One great day Christ will appear again as King to reign over us forever and we shall appear with Him in glory!

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
