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.

What a joy to know that the suffering and insults we take on behalf of Christ are, in fact, a heavenly blessing given to us from above because the Spirit of Glory and of God rests upon us. May we look to Jesus and away from the world, and may the Word of Christ dwell in us richly so that the ungodly mindset of the world will be diminished.

Indeed, this should also be our continuous prayer for our brothers and sisters in Christ ~ that our love increases and abounds, as we worship our heavenly King, grow in grace, and develop a more intimate knowledge of God.

Some sweet day:
No more lawyers,
No more doctors,
No more unjust taxes,
No more built in obsolescence,
No more politics,
No more leftist nonsense,
No more NWO agenda,
No more sin,
No more manipulative media,
No more bondage pretending to be freedom.

Only 40 years off.

Yes, we should rejoice ~ exceedingly, that we as members of His Body and partakers of His sufferings ~ for it is by faith in His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection that we have not only been forgiven of our sin and clothed in His righteousness, but we are His blood~bought children, who have a blessed hope, a glorious future, and life everlasting ~ Amen.

The Old Covenant, which was conditional on Israel keeping the Law, was replaced at the CROSS with a New and better Covenant, which was cut with the blood of God's only begotten Son. This New Covenant is unconditional and stands on God's WORD ~ by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone as recorded in the Word of God ~ alone.

The ladies Bible study group that arranged a meeting in Grand Forks, ND last night.

Wicked men will one day be judged on the basis of their works. How important that we who have been saved by grace, and set apart unto God, do not ever engage in the ungodly practices of the wicked. How necessary that we live holy lives that honour the Lord... Who redeemed us with His own precious blood.

James calls all fleshly, carnal Christians to repent of their ungodly ways and in humility of heart to receive the implanted Word of God and to act on it faithfully, humbly, and wisely, which causes us to live godly in Christ Jesus. This demonstrates to our brothers and sisters in Christ that we are doers of the Word and not merely hearers only. May we who have been rooted in Christ by grace through faith when we were saved, seek to be fruitful in our Christian walk, by bearing much fruit to the glory of God ~ as we abide in Christ and He in us.

Lee and George Lemelin of Iron Range Baptist

The spiritual strongholds of the enemy are powerless against the weapons of our warfare, which rest on Christ and Christ alone. Hallelujah!

Let us not be anxious about anything, but listen obediently to His voice. Let us trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding. When we do this, the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Whether a pilgrim, a citizen, a master, a servant, or whatever relationships we have in life, let us look to Jesus in humble obedience, and follow in His footsteps ~ by living in total dependence on our heavenly Father, and in willing submission to the Holy Spirit. "For we were like sheep wandering far astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Pastor of our souls."

God purposed that Jew and Gentile were to become one Body in Christ, Who is the Head.. one people under God ~ a nation with a citizenship in heaven, who were once dead in their sins and estranged from God.. but now have become the people of God.. And we who are called by His name have the right to call Him Abba ~ Father.

The Bible must remain our singular plumb~line for spiritual truth... for when we deviate from the truth of the Word of God, we are on the downward road to substituting man's flawed wisdom for the perfect wisdom of our Almighty Creator and Heavenly Lord.

This is the time when the successive ages of man and the millennial rule of Christ, in which the gospel of God and the good news of Christ has reached the distant shores of humanity will be brought to its close ~ the time when everything will be gathered up together, in Christ, and given back to God. How we look forward, with joyful anticipation, that moment when "in the dispensation of the fulness of times, He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him."

Let us love the Lord our God with all or heart and all our soul and all our mind and all our strength.. and look to Jesus, Who has promised to supply all we need, according to His riches in glory.
