Unashamed



February 12, 2013


" For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek..." - Romans 1:16

Dear Friend,


Last week a dear Brother in Christ went home to be with the Lord.  His warm smile and giving spirit will be missed by our congregation.  Members of the congregation who had the opportunity to serve with him in the choir can recall his unashamed dance of praise to the Lord.  Our brother would get so happy during worship service and just dance and dance.  I can recall it would make others happy.  I would shout out and hit my tambourine harder!  His praise was unashamed.

Praise that is focused and that is not self-conscious is glorious for at the center of that praise is the Lord Jesus.  It is a praise that is full of the understanding of the powerful gift of salvation that we have received through the shed blood of our Savior. 

I am encouraged as I remember my fellow Christian who truly made "His praise, the Lord's praise, glorious!"  I am certain that there were those who wondered what he was shouting about, thereby providing an opportunity for others to witness to the gospel "for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth..."


God bless!
Sis. Stephanie

Adds Up…

  2 Peter 1:5   “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;” One of my hobbies is making yarn wreaths.  The wreath frame symbolizing an unbroken circle and an eternal hope. As I tie each double strand of yarn I consider the blessings  of the “tysthatbind”  Adds up… Love+ Faith+ Hope+ Mercy+ Grace+ Peace= Diligently,  Continually  Seeking  to  Add to my faith virtue,  And to virtue knowledge Adds up… God bless.♥️  In Christ, Sis.

Help…My Help

  Psalms 46:1   “God  is our  refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Help.  God is my Help. Always present…in trouble and in triumph.  Help. God is my Help.  I lift up my eyes knowing my help comes from the Lord.  All my help.  Every need supplied. He is My Support. He is The Solution. My Benefactor. Ever providing. Always nourishing. Constantly replenishing. Help. God is My Help. God bless. In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

THE WHAT AND THE SOEVER

  Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things  are honest , whatsoever things  are  just, whatsoever things  are  pure, whatsoever things  are  lovely, whatsoever things  are  of good report; if  there be  any virtue, and if  there be  any praise, think on these things.” The truth is Jesus. Honestly. This is a fact. Scripture declares Him to be. The Way, the Truth, the Life. His ways are holy and just. His Word is pure. He is altogether lovely. Focusing on the whatsoever things is to abide in the peace of God. Thoughts centered on bountiful blessings. Determined to dwell on the goodness of God rather than the constant chaos perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The What is also the Who.  He is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. Matchless in power and might. He is the Faithful and True. He holds the balance in His Hands. God weighs the intent of the heart. True Hones...
