John Wesley — “Rejoice in Goodness”

"I am sick of opinions. Give me a humble, gentle lover of God and man, a man full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality or hypocrisy. Bigotry is too strong an attachment to our own creed or opinion. How unwilling men are to allow anything good in those who do not agree with them in all things. We must not narrow the cause of God to our own beliefs, but rejoice in goodness wherever it appears." John Wesley

Campmeeting Prayer

A prayer friend of mine let me know how he was praying for our summer Campmeeting:

"May God move in power in this campmeeting. May people who arrive sick, be healed. May people who arrive afraid, be strengthened. May people who arrive anxious, find rest. May people who arrive worried, have the Word wash their mind. May people who arrive lonely get reacquainted with the Friend they have in Jesus. Amen."

So be it.

“Only By Dying Could Jesus Break the Power of the devil…”

“Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could He set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.” Hebrews‬ ‭2‬:‭14‬-‭15‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“The Son is Far Greater!”

“Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, He has spoken to us through His Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son He created the universe. The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and He sustains everything by the mighty power of His command. When He had cleansed us from our sins, He sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave Him is greater than their names.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Be Pure Believers Not Corrupt Unbelievers

“Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.” ‭‭Titus‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“I Tell You this Seriously…”

“Timothy, I tell you this seriously, as God and Christ Jesus see everything that we do. When Christ Jesus comes to rule as king, he will judge everyone. He will judge the people who are alive and also those who have already died. When he appears, he will decide what should happen to them all. So I tell you this now: Tell God's message to people. Always be ready to speak God's message clearly to people, whether they want to listen to you or not. Warn people when they are doing something wrong. Tell them to stop doing wrong things, and explain to them what they ought to do. But be very patient while you teach them what is true. Do this, because a time will come when people will not listen to God's true message. Instead, they will want to hear all kinds of new messages that will make them happy. So they will find many teachers for themselves who will tell them what they want to hear. People will refuse to listen to God's true message. Instead, they will want to listen to silly stories that are false. But you yourself must continue to think seriously and clearly. Be patient and brave when troubles come. Continue to tell the good news about Christ to people. Do all the work that God has given you to do as his servant.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭EASY‬‬

Never Calculate Without God

“All our worry is caused by calculating without God. Have you been propping up that stupid soul of yours with the idea that your circumstances are too much for God? Put your anxiousness away, and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. Deliberately tell God that you will not worry. Pray to him, “Lord, I take you into my calculations as the biggest factor now.” 

Do not fret—it leads only to evil. —Psalm 37:8

Abide

For my waking breath for my daily bread

I depend on You, I depend on You

For the sun to rise for my sleep at night

I depend on You, I depend on You

You're the way the truth and the life

You're the well that never runs dry

I'm the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Where the Spirit leads as I'm following

I depend on You, I depend on You

For the victories still in front of me

I depend on You, I depend on You

You're the way the truth and the life

You're the well that never runs dry

I'm the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength my song in the night

Be my all my treasure my prize

I am Yours forever Your mine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

When I pass through death as I enter rest

I depend on You, I depend on You

For eternal life to be raised with Christ

I depend on You, I depend on You

You're the way the truth and the life

You're the well that never runs dry

I'm the branch and You are the vine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength my song in the night

Be my all my treasure my prize

I am Yours forever Your mine

Draw me close and teach me to abide

Here I am Lord

Would you teach me to abide

Teach me

Would you teach me

I depend on You, I depend on You

Yes, I depend on You, I depend on You

Oh, oh

I depend on You, Yes, I depend on You

I depend on You, I depend on You
