Good songs!

I'm using this song as part of my overview of the book of Revelation, specifically for Revelation 5 and 6.



Speaking of songs, I used this song in a sermon awhile back. Who's will are we following--ours or the Lord Jesus'? It's time we recognize who really is the boss of the universe, this life, this world, and us.

Trust in the Lord

Trust is the most basic of the characteristics of our relationship with the Lord and sets the foundation for all the rest.

This thought was found in today's Days Of Praise devotional from the Institute for Creation Studies.

Do we really trust Him or are we trying to work everything out ourselves? We need to seek Him first.

Mr Samuel replies...

Creationists are not against science but we are against the poison that is intermingled in the science text. The word evolution has many meanings and only one of which is truly scientific in nature.

You can read the whole letter here.

This is a good model for writing a letter regarding creation. It has many facts which any honest true-seeker will need to consider.

Good Speech

This gal has more guts than most pastors. This is an excellent speech no matter how old the speaker.

Are we disciples?

If a disciple is to believe the word of his master without question, the servant is to obey the word of his lord without hesitation.

From the Days of Praise daily devotional. This is a true statement, a goal, an attitude for all Christians to follow.

Wrong Priorities


The more important things are ignored, hated, and persecuted.

January 26

MORNING

Let us go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.

Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ\'s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. - As ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.

They departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. - Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

HEB. 13:13,14. I Pet. 4:12,13. II Cor. 1:7. I Pet. 4:14. Acts 5:41. Heb. 11:25,26.


The above is the reading from the Daily Light for today. It is timely in that many seem to think that the Christian life is one of ease and comfort. May it be! But oftentimes the Christian life is one of difficulties and sorrow. If that is your lot today have hope, for there is a purpose and a Comforter.
