Jesus, Captain of Life’s Sea

Jesus, Captain of Life’s

Sea, 


I have a friend in Jesus,  Who guides me through the gale, 

A first mate and a skipper,  Who helps me to set sail.  He offers strength and,  guidance, A helmsman at the wheel, An ever-steady beam of light,  A fortress made of steel.  He’s the master of the ocean,  My refuge and my rock ,  A harbor that I turn to,  My anchor at life’s dock. 

He’s a mighty sailing warrior,  A helping hand indeed   A pilot through the churning waves,  He meets my every need.  He’s the One I always run to,  When the waves won’t let me be, 

 The lighthouse that I turn to,  On a rough and troubled sea.  He’s a smoothly sailing vessel,  A refuge from the storm,  The gentle breeze that sends me to,  An island, sweet and warm.  He’s a brave and fearless skipper,  A shelter from the heat,  Water when I’m thirsty,  A vessel filled with wheat.  He’s a sure and steady sailor,  My Captain on life’s sea,  No matter where I journey,  He goes along with me.

The Sabbath Day Keep it Holy

-
Image
“ Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you.  Six days you shall labor and do all your work,  but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your ox, your donkey or any of your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns, so that your male and female servants may rest, as you do. (Deuteronomy 5:12-14 NIV) Whom the sabbath was made... ; it was made for man, and not man for the sabbath... The sabbath is a sacred and divine institution; but we must receive and embrace it as a privilege and a benefit, not as a task and a drudgery. First , God never designed it to be an imposition upon us, and therefore we must not make it so to ourselves. Man was not made for the sabbath , for he was made a day before the sabbath was instituted. Man was made for God , and for his honour and service, and he just rather die tha...

Wear the Armor of God Each Day

-
Image
The Apostle Paul a servant of Jesus Christ Write to the Church   Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.     In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which i...

Lord Jesus the Christ protect our children from the hand of adults. This organization are committing one of the Biggest Sin Against Children around the world.  Jehovah’s Witnesses use 1st Amendment to hide child sex abuse claims By Trey Bundy / February 14, 2015 The leadership of the Jehovah’s Witnesses – one of the world’s most insular religions – for 25 years has instructed its elders to keep cases of child sexual abuse secret from law enforcement and members of their own congregations, according to an examination of thousands of pages of documents in recent cases. Listen to the Reveal segment --Read the whole story at:    http://www.revealnews.org/article/jehovahs-witnesses-use-1st-amendment-to-hide-child-sex-abuse-claims/ The religion’s parent organization, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, issued the directives in at least 10 memos dating back to 1989. Although the memos were anonymously written, Watc...

Sink Holes in Our Lives

-
Image
The word of the Lord came to me, saying: Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord: I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not sown. Israel was holy to the Lord, the first fruits of his harvest. All who ate of it were held guilty; disaster came upon them, says the Lord . Jeremiah 2:1-3 NRSV You know the story. The man has been believer in Christ for decades. To all outward appearances he's a man of Christian faithfulness and integrity. He has maintained a reputation as a fine example of public and private faithfulness to the things of God for decades. Then, without warning, it all collapses into a sinkhole of sin. Everyone wonders how it could have happened so quickly. In most cases, it soon becomes known that—like most sinkholes—the problem didn't develop overnight. Several years ago, this man likely had a relatively consistent devotional life through which the Lord often refreshe...

TheTransfiguration of Jesus Christ

-
Image
After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them.   His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them.   And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”   (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)   Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.   As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.  (Mark 9:2-9 (NIV)     God is Love 4:16 and Jesus is Lord in th...

EIGHT DAYS OF PRAYERS

-
by the National Council of the Churches of Christ   The themes of the eight days There is a journey of faith that can be discerned in the themes of the eight days. From its first beginnings in the upper room, the early Christian community experiences the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, enabling it to grow in faith and unity, in prayer and in action, so that it truly becomes a community of the Resurrection, united with Christ in his victory over all that divides us from each other and from him. The church in Jerusalem then itself becomes a beacon of hope, a foretaste of the heavenly Jerusalem, called to reconcile not just our churches but all peoples. This journey is guided by the Holy Spirit, who brings the early Christians to the knowledge of the truth about Jesus Christ, and who fills the early Church with signs and wonders, to the amazement of many. As they continue their journey, the Christians of Jerusalem gather with devotion to listen to the Word of God set forth in the apo...
