Even as we rest in what God has done on our behalf, let us be on the tiptoe of expectancy–working, serving, giving, loving, keeping the faith and demonstrating that faith to the world of men and woman around us.

From 3 John 1:4:  “I have no greater joy than this, to hear that My children are walking in the truth.”

Charles Finney Quote

A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

From Jeremiah 23:23-24:  “Am I a God near by, says the Lord, and not a God far off?  Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? says the Lord.  Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the Lord.”

Charles Finney (1792-1875) was an American pastor and Christian evangelist.  In the years before America’s Civil War, he was an outspoken opponent of slavery.

Called to Repentance

From Jonah 3:4-5:  “Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s walk.  And he cried out, ‘Forty days more, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!’  And the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast, and everyone, great and small, put on sackcloth.”

Called to live in tune

With our Father’s Word

Strengthened through His light

Path no longer blurred

 

Shaped by His patience

Never be shaken

Righteousness stands firm

Truth shall awaken

 

Set aside worries

Empowered to walk

With loving Father

Away from man’s talk

 

Transformed by faith’s light

Darkness now falling

Past sins nailed to cross

Follow Lord’s calling

 

Called to repentance

Step forward in Christ

Delivered through grace

His blood sacrificed

From 1 Corinthians 7:29-31:  “I mean, brothers and sisters, the appointed time has grown short; from now on, let even those who have wives be as though they had none, and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no possessions, and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it.  For the present form of this world is passing away.”
