My brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus is able, he is able to carry any burden too heavy for us to bear. God is able to hear a sinner’s prayer. God is able this morning to wash away your every tear. So, come, lay your griefs on Jesus, all your burdens and cares, he is able and will all your sorrows share. Thank you, Lord!

“My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin, but, if anyone sins, confess it, because, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. Now, by this we know that we know Him and he who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.”

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil; the Lord hates pride, arrogance, the evil way and the perverted mouth. Too many of us seek to pull others down rather than lift them up. Scripture warns us about putting stumbling blocks in the paths of others. Too many of us are daily putting stumbling blocks in the paths of others; but know that the way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, but he loves him who pursues righteousness. Be steadfast, unmovable in all your ways.

I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy, for he who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified. The one who speaks in a tongue, edifies himself, but, the one who prophesies edifies the church. So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification.”

One song writer said it so true, “I want to live the life I sing about!” Are you singing the life you are living? Scripture reminds us, that, we call God’s name repeatedly but our hearts are far from him. If we are to be examples for others, especially the youths, we must be examples in what we say and in the way we live.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

My brothers and sisters in Christ, there is hope for a sinner like you. There was hope for a sinner like me, yes, my Jesus he rescued me. Listen for him in the darkness, look for him in the sunlight rays, when he lovely, gently, whispers to you, just trust him to save you too. And when life’s journey is over, and the dear Savior you shall see, you will praise Him forever and ever, for saving a sinner like you!

Lord, we have relied on our own deceitful hearts, we have not learned to trust you, we have been living lives contrary to you, stubborn and willful, please Lord, create a change in us. Lord, we are willing, please make us able. All this we ask in your precious name. Amen!

One song writer warns us, that, the way that seems right, so right unto a man, it is the devil’s highway and will lead to destruction. God promised us, that, he will repay each one of us according to our deeds. So if we are wise, we will take heed because the way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man is he who listens to counsel. Who has ears to hear, let him hear!

My brothers and sisters in Christ, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil and to do good. Those who fear the Lord, will not lack anything good. Let us fear God because this is all God’s will for us.
