Christ died in our place

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

Romans 5:6-10

6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Comfort in the storm

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

There has been a lot of bad weather going on in different places. In my area, we have had over 4 days of thunderstorms, some hail, heavy rain, flooding, and threats of tornadoes. Our pastor sent out a comforting message to our congregation. He recommended reading and meditating on Psalm 29 if the weather conditions threatens to unnerve us. He prayed for God to give strength to his people and to bless his people with peace.

If you find yourself or your loved ones in the midst of dangerous weather conditions, may this bring comfort to your weary soul.

Psalms 29:1-11–

A Psalm of David

1 Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,
give unto the LORD glory and strength.
2 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name;
worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
3 The voice of the LORD is upon the waters:
the God of glory thundereth:
the LORD is upon many waters.
4 The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars;
yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like a calf;
Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.
7 The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire.
8 The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness;
the LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve,
and discovereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory.
10 The LORD sitteth upon the flood;
yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
11 The LORD will give strength unto his people;
the LORD will bless his people with peace.

God puts to shame worldly wisdom

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

1 Corinthians 1:27-29

“But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base (insignificant/lowly) things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are that no flesh should glory in His presence.”

Happy Reformation Day!

The 5 SOLAS Of The Reformation:

Sola Scriptura: by scripture alone- The Holy Bible is God’s written Word. It alone is the final and perfect authority for what we are to believe and do in our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21)

Soli Deo Gloria: glory to God alone- God alone will receive all glory, including for
man’s salvation. (Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 10:31)

Solo Christo: through Christ alone- One is saved only through Christ and do not need to go through a priest or anyone else. (John 14:6, Acts 4:12, 1 Timothy 2:5)

*I love it when we sing “In Christ Alone” in Sunday morning worship. I love what this guy did with the song.

Sola Gracia: by grace alone- One is saved only by God’s grace. Salvation is a gift from God that is not deserved and cannot be bought or earned. (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:24)

Sola Fide: by faith alone- One is not saved through good works, but only through trusting in Christ. (Romans 3:28, Romans 4:5)

We enjoy watching this Martin Luther movie each year:
