Ephesians 1:5 Planned To Adopted

having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, Ephesians 1:5 Millions of children around the world are living without parents for many different reasons. Many are placed into foster homes or orphanages to take care of them while they wait to be adopted into a loving family. Some will go their entire childhood life waiting to be…

Spiritual Blessings (Ephesians 1:7-14)

We cannot predestine ourselves.

The Trinity, by Ukrainian artist Feodosiy Humeniuk, 1981  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our offenses, according to the riches of his grace that he lavished on us in all wisdom and insight.He did this when he revealed to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ, toward the administration of the fullness of the times,…

Yet, the Bible speaks of a joy that transcends circumstances—a joy rooted not in fleeting pleasures, but in something eternal and steadfast. What is the secret to this kind of joy? 1. Joy is Found in…

And God said……"Ta-da!"

It doesn’t take much to be show-offs, act like show-offs and get peaved about some gnarly, ghastly, risque show-offs. They are everywhere in music, movies, social media and beyond. Today, I’ll focus on — not show-offs — but the children of Almighty God. My granddaughter loved wearing princess dresses. Right from the start, she was introduced to princess-dom because her room and crib were all…

God's Glory, Our Delight

In wond’rous grace, God hath ordained our fate,To be the mirrors that his greatness show,Like telescopes that magnify stars’ state,We’re fashioned to reveal his radiant glow. His goodness, truth, and beauty he bestows,With wisdom’s gift and justice firm and pure,His glory in our deepest joys arises,For in our pleasure, his praise doth endure. We, beings molded by the Maker’s hand,Find truest…

Poetry Saturday—Come, Ye That Love The Lord

Poetry Saturday—Come, Ye That Love The Lord

Come, ye that love the Lord,   And let your joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord   While we surround the throne. The sorrow of the mind   Be banish’d from the place;  Religion never was design’d   To make our pleasures less. Let those refuse to sing   Who never knew our God; But servants of the heavenly King   May speak their joys abroad. The God that rules on high,   That all the…

"I Choose You!" (Ephesians 1:3-6)

People tend to live up to how they view themselves, to how they self-identify.

Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ. For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him in love. He did this by predestining us to adoption as his legal heirs through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will—to the praise of the…

Learning to Walk in God’s Way: A Life Journey

Solomon’s story is a tale of a wise and noble man, as far as men go. He was the wisest of men. (1 Kings 4:30) He had everything. He was handed the kingdom of Israel from his father, David, who had subdued all the warring nations around them.

Solomon had peace for the entire 40 years of his reign because of David’s prowess and provision. Solomon was also a great statesman in his own right,…

God's Surprises

A surprise of monumental proportions was when God raised Jesus from the dead! And God keeps surprising us – sometimes when we aren’t so crazy about the unexpected, learning-our-lessons-well ones!But then there are times when He surprises us with a big hug, like the one we received a few days ago. My Carl was attending his men’s breakfast meeting. Their first order of business is to go around the…

Poetry Saturday—Come, Thou Fount

Poetry Saturday—Come, Thou Fount

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;  streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise.  Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above.  Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love. 

Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I’m come;  and I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.  Jesus…

Romans 13:14 No Room For Sin

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14 Stepping out into something new can be scary, not knowing what could be ahead. Having a fallback plan is common for many people. They want an ability to go back to something that they knew previously if what they are trying fails. When one has this plan, it makes it easy to give in and go…
