Last week at Rock Harbor

Jesus is the rightful King over all the earth, for His redeeming blood paid the purchase price for lost humanity, and in His goodness and grace, He has appointed all who believe in His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection, to rule and reign with Him in His coming kingdom. What amazing grace. What ineffable love. What incredible mercy. What breath~taking righteousness. What a wonderful Saviour!

With Patrick Wood and David Bowen in Phoenix

Such a man keeps his eye on the goal of his calling as he runs the race of life through its many pitfalls and problems. Such a man trusts his Lord with all his heart and understands that God’s grace is sufficient for all his needs. He will lay aside all other considerations and press on to finish the task the Lord has given him to do ~ knowing that Christ is his sufficiency and Christ is his strength.

It now appears that Israel is going to enter Rafah in the near future. Will be interesting to see how the Iranians and their proxies, the Russians, the Saudis, and the American government respond.

God gives the one who trusts in the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour peace with God and He will keep the believer in Christ Jesus covered in His own perfect peace, by giving us the peace of God which transcends human understanding. Let us ensure that the thoughts of our hearts are fixed on the Lord Jesus moment by moment as we take every thought captive to Him, for God has promised to keep in perfect peace all who trust in Him and fasten the eyes of their hearts upon Him.

The one who truly humbles himself in the sight of God is the one who makes himself lowly of heart before the Lord, by admitting the greatness of our God and acknowledging His magnificent majesty. It is confessing that without the Lord we can do nothing. It is trusting Him in all things and relying on Him to carry out the good work that He has prepared for us to do in His power and for His ultimate glory.

Postmillennialism is the ancient error of high-church Augustinianism that has revised their eschatology to justify their worldly goals and whitewashed the whole with a thin veneer of evangelicalism.

May we be ready and willing to give an answer for the hope we have in Christ and pray that through our ministry, some may be plucked from the brands into a saving faith in Jesus.

May we learn to recognise the difference between true righteous anger and ungodly fleshly anger that causes us to sin. May we 'keep short accounts' when dealing with anger and be ready to address issues immediately so that we honour the Lord in thought, word, deed, motive, and emotions.

Every dark cloud that God allows has a silver lining that he designs.

"My kingdom is not of this world."
A truth that is forgotten, ignored, despised.

Let us rejoice in the enormous privileges that are ours in Christ Jesus, but let us also take on board the great responsibility we have for living a life that honours the Lord, by putting off the old man and putting on the new.

Let us carry out our service to God in the power of the Spirit and use our gifts and graces wisely and for the benefit of the wider Body of Christ.

I will be speaking this Friday, May 17 at 7 pm at Riverside Christian School in East Grand Forks, MN.

What a privilege it is to be a member of Christ's Body, for we all eat of the same Bread of Life, we all drink from the same Living Water, and we all partake of the same Spirit of God. We all have the same indwelling Holy Spirit, and we all partake of the same spiritual benefits. We all have the same heavenly inheritance, and we are all equally loved by the same Lord Jesus Christ.

Our life trials are not, as some suggest, a lack of faith or God's punishment, but a purifying tool that God uses to hone and refine His children ~ to develop our trust and dependence upon Him. God's purpose in each of our lives is to educate, discipline, and train us in righteousness and the fiery trials that come upon us are used by Him to try us, as the furnace tries silver ~ to cut deep into our fleshly nature and polish off all the fleshly dross that contaminates our new~life in Christ so that by grace through faith we will not murmur, but humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, knowing that He has promised to exalt us in due time. So let us accept life's fiery trial as a beautiful child~training tool to conform us into Christlikeness, and yield to His gracious child~training so that in the end, we will come forth as pure gold.

It is to God that our prayers and petitions are made and through our Saviour that our prayers are presented, because we have been saved by grace through faith in Him. May we maintain a heart of grateful thanksgiving and praise for all His goodness and grace to us, and may we be anxious about nothing, but in everything through our grateful prayers and entreaties make our requests known to Him, and we will discover His peace that passes understanding, guarding our heart and mind, as we abide in Christ and He is us.
