Today as always we are going after the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help us God.

Today’s Prayer

Glory be to You Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. We pray for closeness to You like we have never felt before. Lord, we seek Your face and desire Your will. Please increase our thirst for Your presence. While You will always be our heavenly Father, and we Your children through the blood Jesus Christ, we pray that You will help us to stay close and to flee from sin, that our fellowship will not be strained by sin. Lord, we ask You to bring to our minds any sin that we may repent and turn fully to You. Thank You. We love, respect, appreciate, and lift up our praise to You God, in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Let’s eat.

Three Vital Truths 

1) Redemption by the Blood of Christ

2) New Birth by the Spirit of God

3) Growth through the Word of God

1 Peter 1:19-25

19.  But he paid for you with the precious lifeblood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. 20. God chose him for this purpose long before the world began, but only recently was he brought into public view, in these last days, as a blessing to you. 21. Because of this, your trust can be in God who raised Christ from the dead and gave him great glory. Now your faith and hope can rest in him alone. 22. Now you can have real love for everyone because your souls have been cleansed from selfishness and hatred when you trusted Christ to save you; so see to it that you really do love each other warmly, with all your hearts. 23. For you have a new life. It was not passed on to you from your parents, for the life they gave you will fade away. This new one will last forever, for it comes from Christ, God’s ever-living Message to men. 24.  Yes, our natural lives will fade as grass does when it becomes all brown and dry. All our greatness is like a flower that droops and falls; 25. but the Word of the Lord will last forever. And his message is the Good News that was preached to you.

1 Peter 2:1-2

1.  So get rid of your feelings of hatred. Don’t just pretend to be good! Be done with dishonesty and jealousy and talking about others behind their backs. 2. Now that you realize how kind the Lord has been to you, put away all evil, deception, envy, and fraud. Long to grow up into the fullness of your salvation; cry for this as a baby cries for his milk.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

Distinguish between the fact of God’s presence, and the emotion of the fact. It is a happy thing when the soul seems desolate and deserted, if our faith can say, “I see Thee not. I feel Thee not, but Thou art certainly and graciously here, where I am as I am.” Say it again and again: “thou art here: though the bush does not seem to burn with fire, it does burn. I will take the shoes from off my feet, for the place on which I stand is holy ground. ~Author Unknown~
