Jesus said that we are to go into all of the world and to make disciples of him of all nations, baptizing and teaching them to obey all that he has commanded us (See Mt. 28:18-20). He said that when the Spirit of God comes upon us, whom we receive when we believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and as...

Eyes to see and ears to hear,
Jesus, keep me ever near.
Help me walk with You each day,
Read Your Word, and daily pray.
May I listen, Lord, to You.
Do what You say; follow through.
May I always persevere,
As, to Your truths, I adhere.
May I have the mind of...
What Great Love
1 John 3:1-3 ESV
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we...

Based off Psalm 138
With all of my heart,
I praise You.
Before other gods,
I sing Your praise.
To You, I bow down
In worship.
Your unfailing love
Leads me always.
When I called to You,
You listened.
Your answer to me
Strengthened my heart.
Your kindness to...
We live in a time of great deception within our governments, within the church, within our families, and coming from the media. There is so much fakery going on these days that it is often difficult to separate truth from fiction; reality from fantasy. So many people are trapped in sinful...

I pray to the Lord
When thoughts trouble my mind.
I put my trust in Him.
Then, peace I do find.
I have no control
Over what others do.
They all have the freedom
To others subdue.
It pains me to watch
How some lie and they trick.
Their plans are so sneaky...

Lord, I yield myself to You.
Help me to walk in Your ways.
Show me how to follow truth.
Guide me throughout all my days.
Feelings come, and feelings go.
Help me be steadfast in love.
Teach me what You have for me –
Things not of earth, from above.

Condemned to Death
Matthew 20:17-19 NIV
Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will...
In Isaiah 49 we read a prophecy concerning Jesus Christ, our Lord and Messiah, our Savior. And yet, as his followers, we are his body, and he dwells within us in the person of the Holy Spirit. So, we are to carry on his ministry on this earth, to do the things he did, in his power within us...
We read in 2 Samuel 11 a story about King David, who was regarded as a man after God’s own heart. One day David lusted after a woman named Bathsheba. From his roof he saw her bathing, and so he inquired about her. He found out who she was, and that she was married to Uriah, one of his soldiers...

Who has believed our message?
To whom has our Lord been revealed?
He had no beauty or majesty;
His looks, to none did appeal.
He was despised, rejected.
A man of much suff’ring and pain,
From whom people have hid their faces,
then looked...

Do you ever feel an overwhelming sadness?
All around you seems then to be so much pain.
Sin has run amok within the walls of churches.
For the gospel truth, there is so much disdain.
Men in pulpits hiding sins behind the curtain,
Making jokes about the sacred...
Be Strong
Ephesians 6:10-12 NIV
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers...

Based off Job 38-42
When the things of this life
Do not go as planned,
Do we trust in our Lord?
Or trust then in man?
Are we tempted to fear
How things now will go?
Do we question our God
On things we should know?
Do we think that we know
Now better than God...
Pure Milk
1 Peter 2:1-3 ESV
So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.
Another name for the gospel of Jesus...

When I think of You, Lord,
In the watches of the night,
I am filled with wonder
At the power of Your might.
All that lies before me,
All that You have planned for me,
Fills my life with purpose,
So my heart now sings with glee.
Each day in Your presence,
As...
In Green Pastures
Psalm 23:1-3 NASB
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Jesus Christ, God the Son, the second person of our...
The Things Above
Colossians 3:1-4 ESV
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in...
Peter and John were apostles of Jesus Christ. One day they healed a man who had been lame from birth. The man whom they healed was now walking and leaping and praising God.
The people who witnessed this were filled with wonder and amazement at what had just happened to the man. So, Peter spoke...
Rock of Our Salvation

Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
