  1. Our Fellowship with Christ Jesus

    “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete. “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce...
  2. Immediately They Followed Him

    “From that time Jesus began to preach and say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. And He said to them...
  3. A Call to Repentance

    “What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?” Says the Lord. “I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats. “When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts? “Bring your...
  4. God is My Salvation

    “Then you will say on that day, ‘I will give thanks to You, O Lord; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the Lord God is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.’...
  5. Fools Mock at Sin

    Proverbs 14 Select Verses NASB1995 2 He who walks in his uprightness fears the Lord, But he who is devious in his ways despises Him. 5 A trustworthy witness will not lie, But a false witness utters lies. 7 Leave the presence of a fool, Or you will not discern words of knowledge. 8 The wisdom of...
  6. Are You Addicted to Sin?

    “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and...
  7. Where are You?

    Loneliness and longing, Feeling not belonging, Fit not in the picture, Wond’ring ‘bout the future? Needing much endurance And much of assurance God is fully sovereign O’er to Him belonging? News brings much confusion, With it much illusion. Who then to be trusted? Not those who’re corrupted...
  8. He Reached Down

    An Original Work / February 3, 2014 Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love Based off Psalm 18 How I love You, Lord, my Rock and my strength. My God is my fortress; I hide in Him. He is my shield and the horn of My salvation, whom I praise. I have found my refuge in Him. He reached down from heaven...
  9. Out of Our Bondage

    Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. 3...
  10. Faith in Christ in Action

    I am reading in Hebrews 11 in the NASB1995 translation: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.” (vv. 1-2) “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is...
  11. Don't Be Obstinate and Disobedient

    “How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good...
  12. Not an Opportunity for The Flesh

    I am reading in the book of Galatians today. The primary thrust of this writing is to correct error in the church. For there were false brothers among the people who were trying to convince the Gentile Christians that they had to be more like Jews and that they had to obey some of the Old...
  13. Are You Able to Drink the Cup?

    Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him. And He said to her, “What do you wish?” She *said to Him, “Command that in Your kingdom these two sons of mine may sit one on Your right and one on Your left.” But Jesus answered, “You do...
  14. I Fear No Evil

  15. Get Your Provisions Ready

  16. Such Troubling Times

    Such troubling times we live in now Because to Christ much do not bow But bow to men, they surely do And to their idols stick like glue They masquerade of righteousness But to their sins they not address They walk in sin, and not by faith, Because their sins they not abate They will not obey...
  17. Paul's Sound Words

  18. AND DO THIS

    “And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of...
  19. Are You a Person of Discernment?

    Proverbs 17:10,24 NIV 10 A rebuke impresses a discerning person more than a hundred lashes a fool. 24 A discerning person keeps wisdom in view, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth. If you are a person of discernment, you are someone who is characterized as a person who is...
  20. By Faith in Christ

    Life on earth has its ups and downs, Sometimes smiles, and then sometimes frowns. Ins and outs, and not whereabouts, Finding truth, or give in to doubts. Peace is found now by faith in Christ, Who gave His life in sacrifice To deliver us from slaves to sin, As we obey Him from faith within. An...
