Each Wayward Branch

From Hebrews 3:5-6: “Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. Christ, however, was faithful over God’s house as a son, and we are His house if we hold firm the boldness and the pride inspired by hope.”

Witness His steadfast love
Christ soars beyond earth’s light
Grace cascades from above
Shared blessings always bright

Refuge found full of peace
Christ endures forever
Mercy must always seek
Faith’s trusted endeavors

Surrounded by life’s thorns
Christ bears sin’s heavy weight
Perfect lamb never shorn
Heavenly path made straight

Encouragement descends
Christ wrapped in Father’s Word
Forged through fire, love defends
Truth shall always be heard

Harmony’s welcome tune
Christ walks ahead of man
Each wayward branch, He prunes
Strengthened, just as God plans

From Psalm 118:28-29: “You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.”

Commit yourself then to God! He will be your guide.

Francois Fenelon (1651-1715) was a French theologian, poet, and writer.  He has been widely remembered as the author of THE ADVENTURES OF TELEMACHUS.

Charles Stanley Quote

How grateful we are that God made His message so simple: Trust Jesus for what He did on the cross and know that He left an empty tomb.

From Luke 24:45-46:  “Then He opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.

Christ Intervening

From Acts 2:38: “Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.'”

Sitting at Father’s side
Christ, our Savior lives
Overcoming darkness
Empty tomb proves He lives

Trusting faith’s witnesses
Christ lights Father’s way
Calling for repentance
Many baptized this day

Transforming fiber’s flesh
Christ welcomes each saint
Sharing love’s forgiveness
Holy Spirit repaints

Receiving redemption
Christ intervening
Teaching with righteous breath
Faith accepts spring-cleaning

Calling upon His name
Christ shares trusted grace
Breaking chains of bondage
Heaven’s light to embrace
