Posted on January 10, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

Obedience . . . is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.

From Deuteronomy 30:2-3: “Return to the Lord your God, and you and your children obey Him with all your heart and with all your soul, just as I am commanding you today, then the Lord your God will return you from your captivity and have compassion on you, gathering you again from all the peoples among whom the Lord your God has scattered you.”

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

The love of husband and wife is the force that welds society together.

From Matthew 19:4-6: “He answered, ‘Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”

John Chrysostom served the early Christian church during the late 4th century and early 5th century in Constantinople where he preached and was a prolific writer.

Trusted Guidance

Posted on September 18, 2024 by bigskybuckeye

With element of mystery

Father’s divine plan evolves

Man imprisoned with transgressions

Faithful mercy shall resolve

Always leading with light of hope

Each treasured gift to embrace

Journey fulfills Father’s glory

Righteousness surrounds man’s space

Topped off with Father’s steadfast love

Filled with purpose in His name

Deliverance as He promised

Spirit igniting faith’s flame

Everything shall work together

Father forgives, lifting man up

Justified by faith, through His grace

Sharing His wisdom close-up

Tomorrow’s appointments scripted

Each written in Father’s hand

Choose to follow His Holy Word

Trusted guidance as He planned

We live our lives under the careful, loving, gracious, albeit sovereign, hand of our God. And the movements of time and history tick off according to His reckoning, exactly as He ordained.

From Psalm 31:14-15: “But I trust in You, O Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in Your hand.”
