Rising Faith

From Colossians 3:1-2:  “So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.”

Sitting on sidelines of life

Shadows of darkness smother

Tempted by earthly idols

Searching for Christian brothers

 

Realizing character counts

Spirit leads man to Christ’s love

Raised up through heavenly grace

Setting mind on things above

 

Cleansing with fire, cache of sins

Obedience marks each day

Revealed through Christ’s forgiveness

Clothing self in righteous ways

 

Answering God’s blessed call

Heaven’s love binds without doubts

Perfected in harmony

Redeeming life’s turnabout

 

Dwelling in each heart, Christ’s peace

Gratitude writing hymn’s praise

Called to daily fellowship

Rising faith, always ablaze

God intends that our trials will open opportunities to mature in our faith and trust in Him.

We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

From 2 Corinthians 3:9:  “For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory!”

John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan church leader and theologian.

Love One Another

From the words of American Christian author, James Dobson:  “It is important to know that you have to work to keep love alive, you have to protect it and maintain it, just like you would a delicate flower.”

Encouraged to trust Father’s Word

Hope sown with Christ’s patient love

Precious seeds of kindness

Heaven harvests from above

 

Cultivated with Father’s grace

Eternal light never ends

Rejoice with Spirit’s peace

Fragile love strengthens to mend

 

Answered with Father’s faithfulness

Calvary pays debits of man

Love rises with new life

According to divine plan

 

Called by Father, who always cares

Love each delicate flower

Maintain, always protect

Backed up with mercy’s power

 

Commanded by Father above

Always love one another

Just as faith’s Savior loved

Every sister and brother

God’s love breaks down barriers through His grace.  Then our eyes are opened to the genuine nature of His love.

If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it.  Speak for Him.  Witness for Him.  Live for Him.

From Isaiah 43:10:  “You are My witnesses, says the Lord, and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He.  Before Me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after Me.”

John Charles (J. C.) Ryle (1816-1900) was an Anglican bishop in the United Kingdom.
