"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 4 October 2011"
Today's Bible Verse: John 8:31,32 " Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in Me, you are my disciples indeed. And if you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
In John "truth" is that which is in full correspondence with reality. We can't know this kind of truth in theory, but must experience the reality Jesus' words portray by putting them into practice. If you and I want to "know the truth" about anything, we must be disciples, holding firmly to the teachings of Jesus and putting His words into practice.
Freedom is the experience of life of a relationship with God, with one's self, with others, and with the material world, as God intends it for human beings. Freedom is not unrestrained indulgence in anything we may want to do when we want it. Freedom is being whom we really are, creatures shaped by God for fellowship with Him, creatures who find joy and fulfillment only in loving and serving Him.
Freedom is freedom to be who we were intended to be. The way to freedom is marked out by the words of Jesus Christ. Yahweh, God's personal name in the Old Testament., can be translated, "I Am." Jesus in saying He saw Abraham and in affirming the eternity of His being, laid clear claim to being the God of the Old Testament, and was so understood by the Jew.
Today's Hymn: "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing"
Come Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune by 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
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, may we in humble and thankful praise come before You being set free from the bondage of sin. May we follow you in obedience and have that daily fellowship with You. May the Holy Spirit protect us from sin and may we each second of each minute and every hour that we are here on this planet our temporary home experience the Almighty Love that You Abba Father have for each of Your children."
Amen
Today's Biblical Truth: "As the sun is the physical light of the world, so Jesus is the spiritual light of the world, and as light of the world, Jesus exposes sin and gives us sight."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness. Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and your yell out, "I CAN'T", God whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."
"Unbelievers who will face God's Judgment will desire the relief of death rather than to endure His wrath."
