This song is based off Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV 1984): “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.” Salvation is a free gift from God. We do nothing to earn it or to deserve … Continue reading For By Grace

Of the Same Kind
Does everyone who has faith in God have the same kind of faith? Does it matter if we don’t? Do all types of faith lead to the same end result? The Lord Jesus led me to read 2 Peter 1 (Select vv. NASB). Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who … Continue reading Of the Same Kind
Call on Him
Our God, the One and Only True God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – is absolutely amazing! His grace is amazing! He loves us so much that he, Jesus Christ, God the Son, died on a cross for our sins. He died that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. He died, … Continue reading Call on Him

Or, out of bitterness? Should we judge one another by ourselves, and by our own motives? Or by the standards … Continue reading Do You Agree?

I sensed the Lord had a song for me based off of that song, only about Jesus Christ and what he did … Continue reading For the One I Love
Do We Live It?
Do we live what we say we believe? Or, is our belief just words? Or, is it just a religion? Or is it just religious practices, rituals and ceremonies?

Yielded to God
If you are in Christ Jesus, by faith, how long have you known him? And, do you really know him? Do you know what he requires of you, you who have believed in him? And, are you living what you know, by his power? So many say they know God, that they believe in Jesus … Continue reading Yielded to God
