God'sgreatest love offering for humanity was given through Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice at Calvary's Cross where He poured out His soul unto death.
Let us all bow our heads in prayer before the author and inspirer of God's holy Bible.
Let us all bow our heads in prayer before the Author and inspirer of God's holy Bible.
Father, we bless You for the holy desire to please You that You have planted in our hearts.
Our life's prayer is to gladden and bring glory to Your gracious Name.
The more we learn from You the more we love You for Your sense of justice.
We are in awe of You; for even though Paul and Silas were confined in chains in the darkest dungeon You used angels to set them free.
Father, many of us in the last few months find ourselves, often due to our own foolishness, in a very deep dungeons.
Although, especially in the last months we have been studying and praying with great diligence the persistent pitter patter of a piercing pain that assails us refuses to petter out.
Father, we now understand that Your highest love is experienced in the extremities of extremities.
Father we need Your strength. Our confidence has been buffeted and is not always as resilient as we would desire for ourselves.
Surely the sunrise of Your pleasure will peek through soon into our at times pain-laden prayers.
At these difficult times this one thing we will always do.
We will thank You Our majestical Maker and we will cry out for mercy. Not our will but Thy will be done!
No man can rub out the stain of sin; for You alone can rub it out.
The stain of sin that haunts our life, like a living nightmare, will not go away unless Our holy God rubs it out.
Fellow friends with thirsty souls, Jesus Christ is Our wellspring.
The door to God's grace was opened at Calvary by the door.
Fellow friends with thirsty souls, if you have opened the door of narcissism, greed or false religion that tosses you from one unstable leg to another grab both your legs and slam that door that offers no enduring dignity behind you.
The door that offers pleasure, power and prosperity with no or only semi restraints on what you want is the way of disappointment.
Satan, the father of lies is the way of disappointment.
In succumbing to his teaching your flesh can be appeased temporarily but your heart will still cry out to be nourished.
Run away, cherished readers, with all your strength from the door called "no enduring dignity here".
Run away to Jeremiah 29: 13 where you can find the true door speaking:
"You will seek Me and find Me when You search for me with all your heart."
Gracious Father, Your offer to rub out unredeemed man's sin is revealed at Calvary.
You can rub it out and You will rub it out, if we hunger and thirst with all our heart, soul, mind and strength for the sunlight of the Sun of
Righteousness.
Let us warm our cold hearts in the warmth of Jesus Christ's wisdom.
The time is drawing short for the stubbornly independent.
Jesus Christ's blessed door is still open. Let us seek its entrance.
My heart cries out with my last ounce of energy for those who haven't yet learnt to cry unto You.
Lord, help us reinvigorate the non-crying.
Lord, help us reinvigorate our neighbor who,laden in sin, feels uncomfortable at the prospect of praying to you.
Bless those unconditionally determined to bless Your name with a humble and contrite spirit; so that they can strengthen their families, future brethren and their neighbors.
God of grace, we bless You that Jesus Christ, the sun of righteousness, is soon to return.
Beautiful Father, until we understand that You both reward and punish. Until we understand that You both bless and curse, only then will we believe that there is a heaven and hell.
Eager searchers for truth, for Our God of love to have a hatred of sin and to have instituted punishment for sin is not contradictory.
A detailed study of Calvary's offer of redemption silences all voices of protest.
At Calvary God demonstrated His love toward us and His power over man's greatest fears.
At Calvary Jesus Christ showed Himself to be Our greatest Friend Savior, and Lord.
Faithful Father, open our eyes powerfully to Your holy teachings; so that we can feel the sunlight of Your love on our back and come with a sun-tanned appreciative smile daily, diligently and with great gusto to You in order to successfully delve into Your holy Scriptures.
For thine is the power and the glory, forevermore. Amen.
