JennyW: Hello Everyone! I really miss activity on this site. I've been discouraged by photography sites where you have to sort through so much explicit content in order to see photos that truly glorify God. I'd love to see this site pick up again. 2023-05-16, 08:46:36

What The Blood Of Jesus Is To You

    Matthew 26:28 says...
    For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins..



    Romans 3:24-26 says...
    Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus..

    Morning Devotional...


    For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
    2 Cor.  5:21


    The year 2002 was the first without my husband.

    The above verse was special to him.

    As a family we reminisced how he regularly arose early to spend time in the Scriptures and in prayer. As the one closest to him, I can say he lived to honor the Lord, to exalt his Saviour.

    And this is what he desired to pass on. We will all leave some kind of legacy. What will it be?

    What counts in the end will not be Grandma's favorite plate or the antique table--but the way we lived.

    A gift received at our wedding 61 years ago stated, "Only one life, 'twill soon be past; Only what's done for Christ will last."
    --E. Dyck

    One more day's work for Jesus;
    one less of life for me!
    But heaven is nearer
    and Christ is dearer
    than yesterday to me.

      Our Song of Victory

      Copyright © 1992 by Lawrence Keith Holder

      Romans 8:38-39
      "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
      nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
      Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
      shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus."



      The Lord provides for me always,
      For each and ev'ry care.
      And tho' the storms should come,
      I know that Christ is always there.
      And who shall take salvation from me,
      Or steal the grace I've known?
      Not even the gates of hell
      Shall destroy the love that God has shown,
      The love that God has shown.


      Chorus
      For I'm sure that neither death (not death), nor life (nor life),
      Nor height (nor height), nor depth (nor depth),
      nor anything else in the world
      Shall be able (shall be able) to cut us off from God,
      Shall be able (shall be able) to separate this Love,
      In Christ Jesus, we have won!
      We have won!


      Jesus Christ is the Answer,
      I need to search no more,
      For when by grace He called to me,
      I opened wide the door.
      No longer must I fear the Temptor,
      Nor face this life alone:
      My Savior is here to stay,
      Till the day He brings me home,
      The day He brings me home.


      Chorus
      For I'm sure that neither death (not death), nor life (nor life),
      Nor height (nor height), nor depth (nor depth),
      nor anything else in the world
      Shall be able (shall be able) to cut us off from God,
      Shall be able (shall be able) to separate this Love,
      In Christ Jesus, we have won!
      We have won!

      Good Morning Carol!  LOL

      Glad you wrote down the Antrim Coast Road.  It's one of the most beautiful places in the world.

      But so also is the west coast of Ireland and also Wicklow--Sally Gap is beautiful.

      How long do you plan on being there?  I sure hope to see so many photos when you get home.

      Pat and Ria, I didn't get in yesterday...but thank you so much for those devotions....They were very much needed. and Pat, thank you also for today's.

      Ladybug...your story yesterday about the clayballs really touched home.  I need to look beyond the surface more often!

      I have done a bit of baking tonight.  I am to be an attendant at my girlfriend's wedding in August and her bridal shower is Sunday.  One of the things I am responsible for is a tray or two of desserts.  Christmas baking in June......FUN! and YUMMY.   :D

      Pat, thank you for Our Song of Victory.  What a nice way to end my day and now I am off to bed.  I'm sure this will be playing in my head as I drift to sleep.

      Any shortbread, Sue?  I love your shortbread!

      See that you also excel
      in this grace of giving.


                      THE ACT OF GIVING

                        Lord, help me to ask less
                              and give more...
                        Let me see the act of giving

      LUKE 5 : 31-32
      Jesus answered them "It is not the
      healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
      I have not come to call the righteous,
      but sinners to repentance.

      Jesus was often criticized for
      deliberately associating with people
      who were suspect in the eyes of the
      "religious".
      There was a reason for His behaviour.
      He wasn't doing this to be popular,
      weird, bizarre, or hip.
      Jesus came to redeem the enslaved,
      find the lost, mend the broken, and
      reclaim the sinner.
      Can Jesus bodily presence strive for
      anything less than this today, and still
      call herself His Church.


      PRAYER...
      Forgive me, Fahter,
      when i opt for security in
      my acquaintances and i
      avoid messy entanglements in
      my relationships.
      Please open my eyes to see
      the needy all around me.
      Please use me to lead them
      to Your grace and to help them
      find family with your people.
      In Jesus name i pray. Amen

      Good morning, friends,

      I think it's going to be a good day here in Nashville.

      Ria, how sad that the mother felt so compelled she would end all their lives including her own. I'll pray for the family and the community. All involved surely must be devastated by this news.

      I'll slip away now - must be at work early again today, but it's because of a later doctor's appointment and then I'll be out of the office this afternoon.

      Y'all have a wonderful day with the Lord.

      Judges 15:1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
      2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
      3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
      4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails [NKJV: and he took torches, turned the foxes tail to tail, and put a torch between each pair of tails].
      5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
      6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.

      Morning!

      It is supposed to be a gorgeous day here.  We will probably spend most our time outside. 

      Hope you all have a fun day.  I'll try to stop back in later.

      Liz

      Good morning all....I am desperately trying to take my mind off coffee and breakfast.  Have to leave for an early morning blood test and can't eat or drink!  Miss Squeek (cat) is in a noisy mode and won't be quiet.  Some cats have soft, melodious voices.  Her's is like chalk on a blackboard.  Ahhh!!!

      That was very interesting, tolovemoon.  A little unkind to the foxes, etc.  Have not spent time in the Old Testament for ages and as a result, forget much that is important.  We used to study it a lot in church.  I miss Lee's posts as he got me to studying that part of the Bible again.

      Thanks for the email Marilyn.  I appreciate your kindness.

      Larry, I hope that you feel better soon. 

      I just read a cute letter written to the editor in our island paper:

      "If you don't believe that gas is plentiful and cheap,
      just listen to an election speech!"

      Must go and put that pesky cat in the laundry room.  Have a great day everyone.

      God Bless,

      Hi everyone.  I appreciate your expressions of concern and am happy to say I feel fine today.  I decided to not walk today and give my heart a chance to rest a bit more.  I had taken one of the pain pills the doctor prescribed, not because the pain was really bad but to try to stop the feeling of pressure as he says this is bad for me when it lasts for an extended  time, as it had yesterday.  I had forgotten that these pills caused a bit of an allergic reaction when I last took one and I  wasn't able to sleep soundly last night as I kept waking up  itching in different places.  Don't think I will take anymore of these pain pills and will try to contact the doctor to see if he will prescribe something else.

      The contractor is here again today and is starting on the kitchen cabinets and also putting in the laundry shute.  The closet and air conditioning jobs are basically finished.  Hopefully he will be done before the end of the week.

      Pat, that was a fine devotional message today.

      Sue, your talking about Christmas baking now reminds me that our church does a Christmas in July for the nursing home residents at a local nursing home. 

      Welcome Aleks to CP.

      Ria, that is certainly a terrible thing the happened with the mother and children. 

      Al, on reflection I suppose "good as new" is going a bit too far.  At our ages, just feeling better than yesterday is a good day, right?  I am very fortunate in that unless my heart is acting up I usually don't have pains.

      Janet, glad that Darrell is feeling much better. 

      Hope everyone is having a good day.  Looks like no rain down this way today, just warm weather.

      I have a few more of the "Christian One Liners" to share today:

      God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

      He who angers you, controls you!

      If God is your copilot - swap seats!

      Prayer:  Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!

      The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us.

      The will of God will never take you to where the grace of God will not protect you.

      We don't change the message, the message changes us.

      You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to...discourage him.

      Liz ~ My two kitties eat dry cat food.  I thought it was nice to change brands and all (variety) but I was told by someone that their vet says to not change brands.  Find a cat food that they like and stick too it.  They also get treats (Pounce) and lets me know when it is treat time.  Ali get 3, Inky gets two treats.  Inky is almost as big as Ali so it will be even treats soon.  Yes, I remember the old days when the cats got milk right from the cow that my brother was milking.  We gave them table scraps, too.  They were indoor/outdoor cats so who knows what all they ate.  They sometimes lived a long time.  But today....no milk, no chocolate, get shots, get exams.  Personally, I think it is another scam that a profession has made up to make money.  I love Ali and Inky but they are not suppose to outlive me!!

      Larry ~ How has today been for you?  I am praying that you feel much better since you had a good rest.

      Ladybug ~ That is so true.  We tend to make negative first impressions.  My church going has helped me to not make bad first impressions.  I have had to eat crow too many times and I have found out I don't like crow. 

      Papa John ~ Our news told about the little girl in Tennessee that a wall collapsed on and killed her.  I didn't realize it was that near to you.  So sad about the little one drowning in a private pool.  If I had a pool in my yard, I would put an electric fence around it or something to notify them that they shouldn't be near the pool. 

      Pat ~ Samson...Judges 15:3  The devotions is right on.  If we look to the bigger circle of things...it isn't the possessions a person leaves behind, it is their character.

      Ria ~ So sad.  A permanent solution to a temporary problem.  Suicide, to me, is the ultimate sin.  You can't ask forgiveness so therefore.....

      Jerry is coming over today.  He is going to cat sit.  Ivalou and I are going to Kettering, Ohio.  Three of her granddaughters are in a Dance Recital Friday evening.  Her grandson is a baseball pitcher and we hope to see one of his games and hopefully him pitching.  We will be back Saturday.

        I Am Crucified With Christ by Phillips Craig and Dean
        Verse 1:
        When I look back at what I thought was living I'm amazed at the price I chose to pay.
        And to think I ignored what really mattered,
        Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great.
        But when I finally reached the point of giving in
        I found the cross was calling even then
        And even thought it took dying to survive
        I've never felt so much alive

        CHORUS:
        Cause I've been crucified with Christ and [ live
        Not I but Christ that lives with in me
        His cross will never ask for more than I can give
        For it's not my strength but His
        There's no greater sacrifice,
        For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live 

        As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
        I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
        Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
        That holds me to the cross yet sets me free
        I will glory in the power of the cross
        The things I thought were gain I count as loss
        And with His suffering I identify
        And by His resurrection power I am alive

        CHORUS
        Cause I've been crucified with Christ and [ live
        Not I but Christ that lives with in me
        His cross will never ask for more than I can give
        For it's not my strength but His
        There's no greater sacrifice,
        For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live 


        Bridge:
        And I will offer all I have
        So that His cross is not in vain
        For I've found to live is Christ And to die is truly gain.

        CHORUS
        Cause I've been crucified with Christ and [ live
        Not I but Christ that lives with in me
        His cross will never ask for more than I can give
        For it's not my strength but His
        There's no greater sacrifice,
        For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

        Howdy howdy!!!

        Etta, I tend to disagree with your philosophy on suicide.  To me, the ultimate sin is never accepting Christ as your Saviour.  If a Christian commits suicide, I believe he/she will still go to heaven, but will be accountable there.  If we had to repent before we died before we could go to heaven, then if I told a white lie and stepped out in front of a truck and got killed before I could repent, my salvation would be moot. 

        Now, if a non-Christian commits suicide, that is a very different matter indeed.

        I say that not to argue or try to change anyone's mind, just offering my opinion.  It is a sad situation to say the least.

        It is a gorgeous day today, and I have a lot I need to do, so I probably should start adn get it done.  I need to procrastinate less and do more.  <karmat hears bernard say "AMEN" from work>

        Take care, and travel safely Etta and Jerry.  Tell him I said HI!!

        Welcome to everyone that has joined CP in the past few days.   The people hear are warm and friendly, and I am sure you will grow to love them (us?).

        I'm outta here for a little while.

        Ladybug

        Karmat.... I agree with you on the suicide matter. 

        Someone once said to me that we as believers are judged (by God) differently than unbelievers.  They are judged because they rejected His ultimate gift, whereas we are judged by what we have done with the ultimate gift.

        Gal2:20
        "I am crucified with Christ nevertheless I live yet not I but Christ lives within me, And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith the faith of the Son of God......."
        What ARE we doing with the faith, and with the Ultimate gift?  Are we exercising our faith?

        I wrote out the words of the song above, I hope they are a blessing to you as they are to me.

        Have a blessed day

        Hello I am finally here I have been doing some PSP lessons and some housework before I go to work. I am taking Fay shopping at K-mart today.

        Thans Ladybug for posting the owrds to I am crucified with christ by  Phillips, Craig and Dean. I sang that as a solo at the church in Lucerne Valley before I moved.

        Pat the answer would be that mighty man of valor, Gideon.

        Thanks to Pat and ria for the devotions this morning.

        Larry I do pray that you are feeling better and do not take that pain killer any longer. Those allergic reactions can be very dangerous.

        Etta Sue  like you I have learned a different way of care and feeding for my pets. They like Alpo Lamb and Rice for wet food and 3 different dry foods.

        Ruth Ann I hope they get your meds fixed for the dizziness. nothing really worked for me I kep saying  am going to try the Dramamine but then always forget.
