PRAY WITHOUT CEASING -
WORK FAITHFULLY -
MAKE STRAIGHT
THE PATHS
When my children were growing up they knew
their Mother and Father were busy and occupied in
giving their efforts in helping a local
Church to be what it should be -
A LIGHTHOUSE.
A LIGHTHOUSE GIVES LIGHT
SO THAT POSSIBLE ROCKS
IN THE WATER CAN BE
AVOIDED
IT ALSO HELPS TO
LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS
SO THAT A SHIP CAN
FIND ITS WAY.
WHATEVER A CHURCH IS NAMED
IS NOT THE POINT.
IT IS WHETHER IT STICKS
FAITHFULLY
LIKE GLUE
TO THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD
TO THE PRECEPTS THAT IT HOLDS FORTH
AND TO THE
BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES
IT GIVES US.
ALL WE EVER NEED
IS THE WORD OF GOD
FOR TODAY
THAT IS ALL WE HAVE
IN THE DARK NIGHT OF
SIN THAT
FOLDS ITSELF
OVER EVERY ASPECT
OF LIFE
FROM BIRTH
TO
DEATH.
LIFE.
LIFE ETERNAL.
LIFE EVER LASTING.
FOR EVER AND FOR EVER.
WHAT DOES IT
REALLY MEAN
TO
LAST
FOR EVER ?
For God So loved the World
that He gave his only
begotten Son that
whosoever
believeth in him
should not perish,
but have
everlasting
life.
JOHN 3.16
Matthew 5.16
Let your light so shine
before men
that they may see
your good works
and
glorify your
Father which is in
heaven.
I was just a child
in 1935. Here I am
just barely two years old
and I thought
I was helping my
Grandmother
in the garden !
Oh ! my !
I know now how
much she loved me
and wanted me to
learn how
to do
and be
all I could be
for God.
Do you know
we are all
LITTLE CHILDREN?
So often
we are unable
to do for our self
until some ONE
takes a hand to
teaching
a new truth
and a new way
to me.
UNTIL I LEARN TO
RECEIVE FROM
ANOTHER
I CANNOT
LEARN
...
A PERSON
HAS TO BE WILLING
TO
BE TAUGHT
TO BE LED
TO BE SHOWN WHAT
TO DO.
AND GOD'S WORD
DOES THAT
ECACTLY THAT.
Psalm 119.105
THY WORD IS A LAMP
UNTO MY FEET,
AND A LIGHT
UNTO MY PATH.
I challenge you that
the Great Commission
in Matthew 28.18 - 20
is the CORE TRUTH
of the LIGHT we are to
display
in our lives.
WITH THE LOCAL
BODY OF BELIEVERS
A LIGHT CAN SHINE
EFFECTIVELY
IT SHOWS HOW
WE CAN LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
IT SHOWS A
BIG CONTRAST WITH
WHAT THE WORLD HAS TO
OFFER.
Jesus said,
"Upon this rock will I build my
church, and the gates of hell
shall not prevail
against it.
Matthew 16.18.
Peter had just responded to
the question that
Jesus gave,
"Whom do you say
that I am?"
And Simon Peter answered
and said unto him,
Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the Living God."
Matthew 16. 16.
In John chapter 13
v 33, 34
Jesus told the
disciples
"A new commandment I give
unto you,
that ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye love one another.
v. 34
By this shall all men
know that ye are my
disciples, if ye have
love one for another.
ROMANS 10.9, 10
THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS
WITH THY MOUTH
THE LORD JESUS,
AND SHALT BELIEVE
IN THINE HEART
THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM
FROM THE DEAD,
THOU SHALT
BE SAVED.
FOR WITH THE HEART
MAN BELIEVETH UNTO
RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND WITH THE
MOUTH
CONFESSION IS
MADE
UNTO SALVATION.
ACTS 1. 7,8
It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons,
which the Father
hath put in His own power,
but ye shall receive power, after
that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you, and ye
shall be witnesses
unto me, both
in Judea,
and in Samaria,
and unto the
uttermost part of the earth.
TO BE ABLE TO PRAY
WE MUST FIRST BE SAVED.
WHAT MUST WE DO TO BE SAVED?
said the people who were
listening to what the
disciples were telling
them that JESUS WAS RISEN
FROM THE DEAD
AND GONE BACK TO
HEAVEN
AND WILL
COME AGAIN....
WHAT MUST WE DO
TO BE SAVE?
Peter answered,
REPENT
AND BE BAPTIZED
EVERY ONE OF YOU
IN THE NAME OF
JESUS CHRIST
FOR HIS
REMISSION
(FOGIVENESS)
OF SINS,
AND YE SHALL RECEIVE
THE GIFT OF
THE HOLY GHOST.
FOR THE PROMISE IS
UNTO YOU,
AND UNTO YOUR CHILDREN,
AND TO ALL THAT ARE AFAR OFF,
EVEN AS MANY AS
THE LORD OUR GOD
SHALL CALL.
Acts 2.38 - 40
REMEMBER
BAPTISM IS NOT WHAT
SAVES US.
WE ONLY SHOULD BE BAPTIZED
AFTER WE REPENT AND BELIEVE
ON THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST,
AND THIS IS TO OBEY
HIS COMMAND
AND
TO IDENTIFY
OUR LIFE WITH
THE
DEATH
BURIAL
AND
RESURRECTION OF
JESUS CHRIST
AS
A
SUBSTITUTE
AND
ATONEMENT
FOR MY SIN
IN MY PLACE
AND
AS HE ROSE FROM THE GRAVE
I AM DEAD INDEED TO SIN
AND ALIVE UNTO GOD
THROUGH THE
BLOOD OF THE
FINISHED WORK
ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY.
THE CHURCH IS
THE PEOPLE
WHO "ARE CALLED OUT"
TO BE HIS PEOPLE
HIS CHURCH
In every way, we
are NOW members
of God's family.
Galatians 3.26
For ye are all the
children of God
by faith
in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2.8,9
For by grace
are ye saved through faith;
and that not
of yourselves;
it is the gift of God;
not of works,
lest any man should boast.
Philippians 1.6
Being confident of this
very thing,
that he that hath begun
a good work in you
will perform it
until the day of Christ.
Galatians 3.13
Christ hath redeemed us
from the curse of the law, being made
a curse for us; for
it is written,
cursed is every one
that hangeth from a tree.
Galatians 3.14
That the blessing of Abraham
might come on the Gentiles
through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive
the promise of the
Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3.28
There is neither Jew nor Greek;
there is neither bond nor free;
there is neither male nor female,
for ye are all
one in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 2.1, 2
Wherefore, laying aside all
malice, and all guild, and hypocrisies,
and evies, and all
evil speaking,
as newborn babes,
desire ye the sincere milk
of the WORD that ye
may grow thereby.
ROMANS 10.17
so then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
