Dismantle, dismantle
The human-based temple
Which follows the world
And not our Lord’s example.
Remove all the idols
And serve only Jesus
Who died on that cross
So from our sins would free us.
Remember, remember
What His word now teaches
That we must die with Him
To sin and its reaches.
We...
Jesus, lover of my soul,
Cleansed and saved me,
Made me whole;
Purified me, now new within.
By His grace, I’m free from sin.
Holy Spirit lives within,
Teaching me to walk with Him,
Guiding me each step of the way.
Living for my Lord each day.
Father God, He is my Lord.
Walk with Him in one...
This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?” And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he *said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he...
“For You formed my inward parts;
You wove me in my mother’s womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are Your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the...
Why do you do the things that you do?
Why do you say the things that you say?
Is your approach with kindness, or rude?
Is without thought, or do you first pray?
Kindness is truth, so it doesn’t speak lies.
Truth should be spoken with love, don’t deny.
Lies are intended to trick and deceive,
So...
“My son, keep my words
And treasure my commandments within you.
Keep my commandments and live,
And my teaching as the apple of your eye.
Bind them on your fingers;
Write them on the tablet of your heart.
Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’
And call understanding your intimate friend;
That they...
We learn from reading Ephesians 5:1-6 that we are to be followers of God/Christ who walk in love, a love which comes from God and which is obedient to his commands. And we are to be becoming like Jesus in mind, character, and action, by the Spirit, in the power of God. We are no longer to be...
“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or...
“Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful...
“Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. While they are saying, ‘Peace and safety!’ then destruction will come upon them suddenly like...
“Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose...
“Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision; for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh.” (Philippians 3:2-3 NASB)
“The dogs” being referred to here, in this context...
We live in a world of liars, deceivers,
Mischievous in thought, and underachievers.
Their world is a play where they now play the lead,
Their purpose in all is to others deceive.
They’re wrapped up in self, for the self they do please,
They live for the thrill and what puts them at ease.
E’en...
Is Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior?
To Him conform in your behavior?
His will and purpose, that’s your pleasure
To please the Lord, make Him your treasure?
He gives you gifts for you to use them
In service to the Lord, to please Him,
To share with others the gospel truth,
To be a witness to...
Time is ticking fast away,
While some people now delay
Serving Jesus with their lives,
For the truth they now decry.
Hypocrites who claim their faith
In the Savior, up to date,
But refuse to bow the knee
To the One they claim belief.
Gospel message not believe,
For the truth they not receive...
“Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments...
Today I was reading in Hebrews 11, which is regarded as the “faith chapter of the Bible,” for it lists numerous people of faith from the Old Testament and the things that they did and how they lived in loving response to God, by faith in God. They obeyed God. They did what was pleasing to God...
