  • Freedom

    “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.

    Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
    ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬
    https://bible.com/bible/111/gal.5.1.NIV

    (MSG) Christ has set us free to live a free life.

    So take your stand!

    Never again let anyone put a harness of slavery on you.

  • Grace

    Bounteous is Jehovah in his nature; to give is his delight.

    His gifts are beyond measure precious,

    and are as freely given as the light of the sun.

    He gives grace to his elect because he wills it,

    to his redeemed because of his covenant,

    to the called because of his promise,

    to believers because they seek it,

    to sinners because they need it.

    He gives grace abundantly, seasonably, constantly, readily, sovereignly;

    doubly enhancing the value of the boon by the manner of its bestowal.

    Grace in all its forms he freely renders to his people:

    comforting,

    preserving,

    sanctifying,

    directing,

    instructing,

    assisting grace,

    he generously pours into their souls without ceasing,

    and he always will do so, whatever may occur.

    Sickness may befall, but the Lord will give grace;

    poverty may happen to us, but grace will surely be afforded;

    death must come but grace will light a candle at the darkest hour.

    Reader, how blessed it is as years roll round, and the leaves begin again to fall, to enjoy such an unfading promise as this,

    “The Lord will give grace.”

    Charles H. Spurgeon

  • An Anchor for Life

    (Being Still With God Every Day)

    This hope we have as an anchor of the soul . . . where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever.
    HEBREWS 6:19–20


    A glance at the headlines of the daily newspaper . . . A reading of our own emotions . . . A look at our family . . . It doesn’t take much in this fast-moving, God-ignoring world to show us that we need an anchor for our lives.

    We find that anchor in Jesus.

    Our hope for this life and for eternity lies not in ourselves but in Christ.

    He is absolutely faithful to do what He has told us He will do—to forgive our sins, to guide our steps, to be with us always, and so much more.

    God always fulfills His promises to us. Our confidence in the future is therefore rooted in Him.

    In addition to being our anchor in this world, Jesus is also our “forerunner” for the next.

    Forerunner refers to small boats that help larger ships enter a harbor by carrying their anchor into a safe place and thus preparing the way for the larger ship.

    Jesus Himself precedes us into the harbor of heaven.

    He carries the anchor of our hope that is His resurrection victory over sin and death, and He makes way for our eternal future.

    No wonder the Christian is filled with such hope!

  • Ask, Seek, Knock

    ““Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

    knock and the door will be opened to you.

    For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds;

    and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”
    ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬
