The Living Sacrifice

'Like a parent feels compassion for their children— that’s how the Lord feels compassion for those who honor him. Because God knows how we’re made, God remembers we’re just dust.

The days of a human life are like grass: they bloom like a wildflower; but when the wind blows through it, it’s gone; even the ground where it stood doesn’t remember it.

But the Lord’s faithful love is from forever ago to forever from now for those who honor him. And God’s righteousness reaches to the grandchildren of those who keep his covenant and remember to keep his commands.' Psalm 108:13-18 (CEB)

'Christ is the goal of the Law, which leads to righteousness for all who have faith in God.' Romans 10:4 (CEB)

God's "righteousness" is His everlasting justice, and He gives to each of us the reward of righteousness and faith. Because of His mercy and His grace He desires that none shall perish but that all should be saved and come to the full knowledge of truth through His Son Christ Jesus. Jesus is Love. We honor Him as a living sacrifice with our temples, our bodies, our mouth and with the way we live.

The Love that He has for us is from above and available and is everlasting to everlasting and is there to include even our sons and daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His gift of salvation is there and available to all through generation to generation for in His mercy there is no end. He sets all things right for us and through Him one comes to believe and have their being and live according to His commands.

God remembers us and has compassion on all He has made. He cares for us. He gives us a purpose and a life full of promise and meaning. He lives. There is no greater Love than this, that one lays down His live for His friends. Because He loves us and He is faithful we honor Him with our worship and offer the living sacrifice of our own lives of service to Him which leads to the greatest peace the world has ever known.

Think Jesus. Think faith. Think forgiveness. Think freedom. Think forever. Thank Him!

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

  ' 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
