"Persuasive Discourse"

 "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:" (Hebrews 6:18 KJV)

  "With all these things in mind, dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the teaching we passed on to you both in person and by letter. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal comfort and a wonderful hope, comfort you and strengthen you in every good thing you do and say." (2 Thessalonians 2:15-17 NLT)

 I can't help but rejoice in hearing and seeing the name of Christ Jesus being spoken of, with boldness and strong deliverance! It really makes me feel as though this might be the trigger, (no pun intended,) that sets up for that final calling, which will cause the Father to send His Son to bring us home! 

 Hopefully the work that He started will grow and get bolder and bolder; unfortunately, the enemy will be doing all that he can to stop it, as if he hasn't been trying already. Listening to some of those that are on the so-called left, they have really nothing good to say about that service that took place Sunday, except that it is over with. I pray that isn't the case, because our Lord and Savior must be shared to everyone, so that there is no one that can say they didn't know! 

 You should know by now that I believe God does not make mistakes; everything He allows to happen, He makes a way for even the worst things, to be used for good, in one way or another. We really have no clue how to understand His ways and thoughts; but there is one thought of His we cannot take for granted: His love for us! He loves us so much, more than we can even realize...

"Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit. So he went and preached to the spirits in prison - those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood. And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 3:18-21 NLT)
