Shout from the highest mountain
Life’s journey seems so tiring,
RomansPaul wrote to Rome to establish
Believers to walk in the way.
Walking by faith as their habit,
To strengthen each other and pray.
There is an Old Testament scripture that has often given me comfort.
Jeremiah 17:14:
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be HEALED; save me, and I shall be SAVED: for thou art my praise.
You healed me O Lord, and I am healed.
My Savior unto Thee
[Sung to the tune of “My Country ‘tis of Thee”]
My Savior unto thee,
Give I my heart to free,
To thee I cling.
Lord who for me has died,
Pierced ‘twas his wounded side.
Ever in him abide.
Of thee I sing.
Out from the Darkness and into the Light
Have you a master who saves from each plight?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Do you have hope in the black of the night?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Are you encased in a deep, deadly fright?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Can you find answers to do what is right?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Fishers of Men
Not catching with hook and a spindle,
Nor netting with taught, woven twine.
But lighting a fire to kindle,
Deep love that will bring life divine.
I am able to live and write and think because God gave me a body and a mind. My parents had a lot to do with me being here. It is THROUGH their relationship with each other that I was conceived and born. When I got born AGAIN years later, it was THROUGH all that Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior did for me. Let’s look at what we have THROUGH CHRIST in some of the New Testament uses of this idea.
Most Christians agree that there are eternal rewards for the good deeds we do in this life. Jesus and his disciples clearly taught this. But some people think that believers can LOSE rewards because of their subsequent evil deeds. This is contrary to scripture, and has hurt the lives and ministries of Christians for centuries. Let’s go to God’s Word and see what it says about this.
