Rejoice in Christ

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

Holy is the Lord, our God, and Savior; justness and righteousness flow out from His throne. Great is His love and grace towards us, goodness and mercy abound in all that He does

We, who trust and believe in Him are made new and alive, the lamp of our lives is renewed day by day. It will never go out

Sing praises to the God of all creation. Lift up His name with all your strength, for He knows those who place their faith in Him, He loves those who consider Him their God

Rejoice in the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, believe in the man who came to us from God. Even before the dawn of creation, He was one with Him

Speak His name in love, for He is the Christ, God’s incredible gift, our Lord and savior who reigns above all the earth

Christ died to remove our deadly burden of sin. He was raised to life again, to reign as one with God in heaven

Jesus opened the door for God’s grace and mercy to pour out upon us, so that we who believe and trust in Him could have everlasting life 

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, atoned for the burden of all our sin when He gave up His life for us upon the cross. By the same power that raised Him to life again, He rendered death powerless over those who put their faith in Him

Cry out to God, for His mercy is given freely. Lift your praises unto Him,  because His forgiveness is poured out to all who trust in Him

For we, who are imperfect and burdened with sin, have now been pardoned of our sentence of death through Christ and we will dwell in purity and wonder with God forever more

God reigns in power, He is at work this very day and hour

Christ Jesus is seated with Him in heaven, He rules above all the earth. They are one and the same power, sovereign over us

Give thanks this day and forever more, never forget or take it for granted, that you are a child of God

You, who call yourself believers, never stop praising His Name, for you were once dead in your sins, mortally wounded in transgressions, but now you are alive in Him

You see and know that He is the light and life that dwells within you

Brothers and sisters in Christ, don’t turn away or rest easy as a Christian, for we have all been called to serve, and to put our faith in action

Christ calls us to always be ready for His return, because we neither know the year, day, or hour when He will come again. Run the long race, renew your faith each day

Rejoice in God always, for you have been forgiven, you are children of the one true King, Jesus Christ, our God. 2/14/2022

The Gift of Jesus

For the kingdom of heavens is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for His vineyard. Matthew 20:1

Jesus stands above the entire world, as its Creator and King

He lives in Spirit and in form before all people who dwell within this place

His Word call out to us across this great expanse and the Spirit of Christ searches the hearts of each one of us

The Christ, the Son of God, who was and is, and forever will be, is here with us. There is no place where He cannot reach and no power in heaven or Earth who rules above Him

He is our God

And He loves us

With love He made this Earth, our home, and by His amazing power God created things just so

In time, Jesus came to dwell with us and stood before us. He came to restore our place before the almighty God, so that all our sins could be wiped away and that we might be made more than we ever could be on our own

He is the savior of all the world, the one who can bring healing for our wounds. Christ can cure us from that which we had no hope or recourse

All the world dwells before Him, and He comes to offer us healing and hope

How confused and distracted are we who inhabit this place. Most of us do not know our God, or, even recognize the He exists

Few understand how great a gift to the world that Christ is; that He, who gave His life for us and so that we might be able to live before our God, forever, would come to us in Spirit and in truth

He give us each this opportunity for eternal life. Every person on Earth is offered this chance to believe upon Him. All, are equally given this gift, but few are those who accept it

The Son of God comes to us each day with His hands outstretched. Jesus calls out and offers us His promise, so that we might have life in all the abundance that God intended

Take hold of Him this day and every one hereafter. Pray and worship His name in faith and in truth, for He is the reason that we have life, and love, and being. 1/25/2022

Thank you for the Light

“Then I was the craftsmen at His side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in His presence, rejoicing in His whole world and delighting in mankind.” Proverbs 8:30

Thank God for the bright and sunny days. Praise Him for creating the gift that is our sun; for its warmth and brightness of light, and for the ways it lifts our spirits

Lift up the name of our God, for giving us a star like our sun. For He placed it exactly where it is within the universe so that we are not too hot, or too cold. It safely blesses our world in its illuminating light, and is stable, not given to dangerous outbursts or fluctuations

Thank you, Lord, for all the stars that You have made. Their quiet beauty in the night skies, inspires. The stardust that was formed within their fusion powered factories, is the very dust that we are created from

Through the energy of the sun and the miracle of life, we have our being. The stardust flows through us all the days of our lives

How glorious is the sunshine. It lifts my spirits in the morning, and warms my soul throughout the day

All the colors of this amazing world are illuminated by the brightness of our sun, and through our sight we are allowed to fully appreciate the wonder of God’s creation. For this world is incredibly made, the heavens stunningly vast and beautifully marvelous

Great is our God. Glorious is all of His creation

All honor, praise, and thanksgiving, we give unto You. For we are a vital part of Your creation. We too, are awesome and fearfully made

Our Lord, Jesus Christ, was with God from the beginning. He was invited to share in the joy of making this grand creation

His eyes witnessed that first burst of energy, when God spoke and set His laws in motion. He observed, as they cause matter and energy to run towards their places. He labored with God, as they watched all of time stretch out before them

They arranged things to be just so, to Their liking. By the outworking of the power of Their wisdom and love, they moved, as They still do to this day and forever more, to bring good things to light. So that glory, goodness, and righteousness, might rule throughout the entire universe, even within this world

Praise God, our Holy creator, and His Son, Jesus Christ. For through the Son, He has given us His light and the power of His Spirit

Jesus is our savior, and our only hope within this creation.

We were made to live in Him forever, but, our sins work to separate us from the light of His goodness and the power of His salvation. Therefore, cease from giving in to the futility of sin, and put your trust in Christ.

Live according to His Word and His ways, and you will have the light from the source of all light shining within you.

The warmth of His love and the goodness of His promises will then uplift your life. For, throughout all of eternity; blessing, goodness, and mercy, dwell in Him. 3/26/2021

The Message

Jesus answered, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.” John 14:6

“I am the Christ, the Son of God. What I am going to tell you, are Words of life. They are the key to your survival”

“Don’t be deceived, or mistaken, I am the only way by which a person can be saved”

“I know you. My eyes, indeed all of my senses, have watched your life. I have seen who you are, and I know that you are in need of a savior; someone who will act on your behalf, to watch over you in realms and situations far beyond anything that you know”

“I am the only way a person may be saved. For you cannot, by any effort or work, gain, what I alone, give”

“Every other way is falsehood. They all lead to nowhere, and ultimately, death”

“Seek Me, Jesus Christ, and you will be doing the most important thing in life’

“Follow my way, and you will be saved. For I am God”

“I am God, your Savior, and I love you”

“Your ways have always been known to Me. All of your good traits, and also the bad, and I love you, exceedingly”

“There is no other way by which a person can be saved, than through faith in Me, Jesus Christ, the Savior of all mankind”

“I know what you’re thinking. Your doubts and fears are known to my thoughts”

“Can I invite you to draw closer to Me, to consider My love for you, and to begin to walk in my footsteps?”

“If you do, then I will never leave your side. I will be there with you, and always uphold you, and bring you into my presence, alive, when you die”

“Indeed you will never die, for I will give you everlasting life. This I earned for you upon the cross”

“But, if you disregard My Words and My love for you, then you will not be able to share in My gift. For I cannot give salvation to someone who will not receive it”

“Know this, that all the world dwells apart from me. Only through faith, and by drawing close to Me, can a person be saved”

“This I give to you, if you so choose. It is only within my power, to do this, for, I am your God, Creator, and Savior”

“Will you come to me in faith, today?”   3/1998

Our Awesome Creator

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is filled with His glory.” Isaiah 6:3

The Lord, our God, makes glorious days. He crafts each one in splendor

Within each hour, He imparts endless opportunities to rejoice in the beauty He has formed all around us

May we praise Him in quiet thanksgiving for all that He has done

Our God, the maker of all things, crafts each night to reflect His wisdom. He moves the stars silently across the sky in shining testimony to His power

How great is He who made each day and each night. What He reveals to us through what He has done, increases our faith as we revel in the glory of His works

When we gaze out in wonder at the vastness of the night sky, and when we view the beauty of all He has created that lies before us, we speak out to Him… and He listens

How great then, must be the love of God for us, that He formed this incredible earth that rests within the endless reaches of His universe

And we, who have been made in His image, yet fallen, filled with sin, but continually uplifted through His Spirit, are blessed with all good things to overflowing

By His grace and through His mercy, we are filled with an abiding sense of peace and understanding

How great is the Lord, who crafts each day that we live and gives them as gifts, filled with both joy and eternal promise

What love He blesses us with, that we who come before Him in faith, stand forgiven, and obtain the sure promise of everlasting life

In light of this, no day should ever be filled with dread and no night so filled with darkness that we cry our in fear. For the maker of both the heavens and the earth has come to us

In Jesus Christ, we rejoice, because the God of all is trustworthy. Our hearts are filled with joy, because of the glorious magnitude of His promises

For the maker of each day and every night, from the beginning of time, until forever, has come to us

It is God’s invitation to each of us who call upon His name, to go forth and fulfill what we were created for, and to come live within His awesome presence

How great is the splendor of all creation. But, how much more awesome is He who made all there is. Could anything be more wonderful than knowing Him?   11/12/2006

Our Incredible God

Tenaya Canyon, Yosemite Park

Our God dwells above all the heavens and Earth. He stretches His hands and they reach beyond the universe; From one side to another

His presence fills every part of this marvelous creation, so that there is no place that He does not know

How awesome is our God, who was before time, and gave birth to this creation. Who thought of it long before it came to be

He has known each moment in history, so that nothing that has happened has ever escaped His eyes

God knows where every string of time is destined. He is as familiar with the future as He is of the past

How blind we are to the ways of God, and limited in our senses, of His glory and power. We see upwards and out, and strive to make sense of it all

But God fills every dimension, He holds them all in the palm of His hand

Glorious father in heaven, we seek You. Because You placed it in our hearts to do so. We are in awe of all Your wonderful works, and of the love You have for us

Our God dwells in unapproachable light, He is a consuming fire. The most solid things in nature, vaporize in His presence. Nothing can stand before Him

He shields Himself with darkness, yet His light shines forth and illuminates all there is

Everything God has done in creation is good, because it all originated from His perfect design. A plan that is still unfolding before us

We strain our minds to make sense of what we see and feel, so that we might understand the answer to our deepest questions.

The answers rest in God

Awesome God, King over all creation, we seek You, because You fill our needful hearts. Come and reveal to us Your glorious Word, so that we might begin to know the truth that will set us free

The God of infinite wisdom once set aside His glory and power, and came to this earth as a man, Jesus Christ

He walked amongst us, our mighty creator, holy and true, yet gentle, filled with a great love and compassion for us

In histories darkest moment, we put to death the author of life. Yet, it pleased our God to suffer and die for us, for our sins had overtaken us, and death ruled over our lives

When He died and was raise to life again, He removed death’s power, and made a safe pathway for us to follow after Him; So that we could have eternal life and dwell with Him, forever

Our God is truly awesome, yet filled with great love for us   2/2/2006
