Our Battle Cry

"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow or crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).


Oh, what a friend you have in Jesus. He stands beside you now, and always.

To see those flag-draped caskets off-loaded from military cargo planes can make the toughest person want to cry because we know somewhere there is a grieving mother or dad, a young widow or widower and perhaps a child who now has lost their parent. We’ll never forget these brave men and women who have given their lives in battle for our freedom. Throughout history these brave souls have served our country proudly. Each one has made an extreme sacrifice so we can remain free. God bless them! And still, out there this battle for freedom rages on. Let us continue to pray God protects them keeping them safe, and that He allows us to see them come home alive and well.

Losing a loved one because of some war or from a battle with some sickness or disease can cause us to suffer tremendous grief. Grief is a lonely, emotional process caused by personal loss. It involves feelings of deep sorrow, extreme sadness, suffering and anguish. It makes us feel devastated by the loss of our loved one. We can also experience grief over a change or some disappointment in our lives. Not everyone suffers grief in the same way, nor is it predictable. It can return over and over long after the initial shock of our loss has diminished. Some of us will never get over certain aspects of our grief. Yet, grieving is a healthy process. Grieving is a natural process we must not deny. Let us take comfort though knowing God will help us recover.

The One who sits on the heavenly throne at the right hand of God promises; “Behold, I make all things new” (Revelation 21:5). We are comforted in our grief because, Jesus is our hope -- He is our salvation. Because of Him our faith sustains us, and we know death has lost its sting. The grave has lost its victory!

“Blessed be, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all or tribulation” (1 Corinthians 1: 3, 4).

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Confused By False Prophets

Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father – “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10). Matthew; the first book of the Gospels warns in (Chapter 7:1-5) “Watch out for false prophets.” Accurately, these are those who in our present time, like in the time of th...

Awake Out Of Sleep

“…it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11). This verse from the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans is where he was instructing them to put on Christ. He was illustrating that during the time of sleep we are in darkness, our works may be of darkness as well. He went on to say, the night is already gone , in other words before Christ we were in darkness hopelessly lost. Now that He is come and we know the truth of our salvation Paul is saying  it is time for us to wake up! Come out of our darkness, and put on the armor of light, Jesus Christ. We are to make no provision for the flesh for the flesh will only try to fulfill its lusts. This morning, unless we open our minds to the teachings of the Holy Spirit the world will start right in telling us what it expects us to be doing this day. Our night is over, we now have Jesus, He is our Morning Star, our hope, and He alone is the way . “...
