Are We Seeking the Lost Lamb


Are we being light amidst the darkness of this world?

Are others drawn to Christ by the Christ they see in our life?

Are our actions and reactions Christlike?

Are we truly seeking the lost, not wanting anyone to perish?


"Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now tha I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greather than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." John13:12-17


Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Colossians3:2-3


But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2Peter 3:8-9


Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. Jude 1:22-23


"Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep. I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:6-7

How Awesome God Is


The variations of our spiritual life.
Wanting growth, fighting stagnation;
Wanting Holiness, fighting temptation;
Wars of the spiritual kind...
For our very souls.
Oh what turmoil and strife
Can try to consume and discourage
Our spiritual life.

God is patient,
He is unchanging and
Faithful to carry us
When we feel unsure.
He is our strength
Our rock and fortress,
The Redeemer of our souls.
He is an awesome God
Of love and forgiveness.
The Holy shed BloodOf Jesus
Saves my life.

He lifts my head,
When sadness and sorrow
I am feeling.
His love fills my soul
With spiritual gladness and joy.
Oh, God of all Comfort
And Holy Wisdom;
Instill in me today
The Hunger and Thirst,
The Yearning for
Your Holy
And Powerful Way.

"And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there; they will not be found there.But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." Isaiah 35:8-10.
