Speaking Grace Through Love

[wingsofthemorningpublications]

He Has Shown Thee, Oh Soul

God Has Shown Thee, My Soul God has shown thee, oh told thee, my soul What is good, what He wants, has not He? But to do what is just, show mercy, be kind, And with God on thy path walk humbly. God has spoken to thee through His Word, Does He not ever speak through His Law, His commands ever speak and teach us His ways, And tell us walk humbly with God. God has shown thee, Oh shows thee,…

Seen by God (Genesis 16:7-15)

I believe that one of the great tragedies of modern Western civilization is that we can live among so many other people, yet not be seen by so many of them.

The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?” “I’m running away from my mistress Sarai,” she answered. Then the angel of the Lord told her, “Go back to your mistress and submit to her.” The angel added, “I will increase your descendants so…

The Man Who Healed Me, He Said...

‘Wake up,Take up your matAnd walk’ The Lord who beckons can be trustedWe tend to rely on the devices we’ve known to work… What we’ve always been found lying on: Our systems, our itinerary… our plans…our MATS. Well, He calls us up out of it, to a faith that extends beyond our limitations of what is possible for you… for me.It will feel weird.They’ll call it illegal or impossible.‘It shouldn’t be…

Can Anything Ever Separate You from the Love of Christ?

Can Anything Ever Separate You from the Love of Christ? Following a quick conversation with someone by text last night as I was heading to bed, I couldn’t get this question off my mind. Can anything ever separate you from the Love of Christ? What an important question, right? Let me answer it for you. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,…

Passages

Where is the world we once knew? Remember the time of future’s joy When children played in streets And fathers groomed their lawns As mothers warmed the home and heart How we planned for all the days And travelled to see wonders As families journeyed together And friends gathered for strength Remember the time of laughter’s folly When music filled all the halls Excitement soared on wings And…

A week with two beginnings. Let's start strong and launch from the second one.

It’s an interesting week as today gets us started and then on what is the midweek or as some call it Humpday it’s the start of a new year. So, let’s start the week with love, intaking from God so that we can overflow into the world around us. Let’s get so filled up, powered up, and moving that when we get to Wednesday which is New Year’s Day, we can launch into 2025 with the right mindset, the…

Christ’s Advents Bring Love

Jesus said there were two proofs that we are His followers, but we can sum it up in one word: Love. Our love must be serving and growing if we want to shine brightly for our Savior and bring glory to our Heavenly Father.

Listen to the podcast of this post by clicking on the player below, and you can also subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or Audible.  The lights of hope, peace, and joy burn brightly. They drive out the darkness in our own lives and in the lives of others with whom we come in contact. But you and I both know lots of people who are very positive people—always upbeat, seemingly peaceful and joyful. The…

 God Showed Up as He Promised

Happy Birthday, Jesus, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! If you’re like me, you’ve planned, shopped, cooked, baked, and today you’re getting to rest on your laurels, or maybe you’re still at it with all-day Christmas activities. For us, the crème de la crème came yesterday –- when we attended two Christmas Eve services. We were fully immersed. Fully present. All the hullabaloo dimmed in…

Jesus Saves To The Uttermost

Jesus Saves To The Uttermost Timelapse Video Painting Jesus Saves to The Uttermost is a Timelapse painting video using my left ((non-dominant) hand to paint with.

Delivery and Deliverance (Isaiah 66:7-11)

To love is to love. Without conditions. To love a friend but hate an enemy is to cancel out the love. It must be all love, or it isn’t love, at all.

Before she was in labor    she gave birth;before her pain came upon her    she delivered a son.Who has heard of such a thing?    Who has seen such things?Shall a land be born in one day?    Shall a nation be delivered in one moment?Yet as soon as Zion was in labor    she delivered her children.Shall I open the womb and not deliver?    says the Lord;shall I, the one who delivers, shut the…

Advent Day 18, Mary's Reflections led to Worship

Today’s Advent passage comes from Luke 1:46-55. Mary praises God for the blessing of being chosen to be the mother of the Messiah. This passage is known as the Magnificat, as it is Mary’s response of praise to God for His blessing. Marvel with me at the words Mary uses to describe God and His works in the world, 46 Mary responded, “Oh, how my soul praises the Lord.47     How my spirit rejoices…

Christmas is the Most Theological Time of the Year

Christmas is the most theological time of the year. It’s the time when the second member of the Trinity, God the Son, came into this world and took upon Himself humanity (John 1:1, 14). At a moment in time, in the womb of the virgin Mary, by a supernatural act of God the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), the hypostatic union was formed, and Jesus became the theanthropic Person, the God-Man, undiminished…
