Thank God for His Amazing Grace!

taylorjamesalbert


“Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!”

~~~Psalm 150 (ESV)~~~

 

“Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in the heavens of His power! Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to the abundance of His greatness! Praise Him with trumpet sound; praise Him with lute and harp! Praise Him with tambourine and [single or group] dance; praise Him with stringed and wind instruments or flutes! Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that has breath and every breath of life praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)”

The Wedge, the Slow & Steady Progression of Separation

taylorjamesalbert

“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”

~~~1 Peter 5:8 (NIV)~~~

The Miraculous Life “And He always points me to the wedge when you’re cutting firewood. And I don’t know if anybody’s chopped firewood before, but you have this big, strong log. And you take this wedge and you pound this wedge into this big log. And it’s amazing how this very tiny point of a tip is the thing that makes the inroad. It gets in there just a little bit. And as it further goes down it creates greater and greater separation, so much so that this big log splits in two. And I believe that’s the way many mundane, everyday circumstances are happening that priorities begin to get out of wack. We begin to not care or nurture for this most precious relationship called marriage the way that we should”.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

~~~John 10:10 (NIV)~~~

The Everlasting Living Water

taylorjamesalbert

 “Jesus answered, and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water, shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more athirst: but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.”

~~~John 4:13-14 (GNV)~~~

“Jesus answered her, All who drink of this water will be thirsty again. But whoever takes a drink of the water that I will give him shall never, no never, be thirsty any more. But the water that I will give him shall become a spring of water welling up (flowing, bubbling) [continually] within him unto (into, for) eternal life.”

The Peace of Christ

taylorjamesalbert

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.”

Committed Love That Lasts a Lifetime: Unconditional

taylorjamesalbert

“Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God’s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end].”

~~~1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (AMPC)~~~

“What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”

~~~Mark 10:9 (KJV)~~~

“Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you’ve got, be resolute, and love without stopping.”

~~~1 Corinthians 16:14 (MSG)~~~

Is Your Christian Faith Just Your Religion or Is It Your TRUTH?

taylorjamesalbert

Former atheist Police Detective J. Warner Wallace* “Faith is not something that’s blind. It’s the step you take at the end of the evidence trail…And I knew two things, that He was who He said He was and…I am in need of who He says He is….And it changed who Jesus was to me….but that doesn’t make you a Christian….I had believed that the Gospels were telling me the truth. You don’t move from belief that to belief in until you stop reading the Bible for what it says about Jesus and you start reading the Bible for what it says about you…You eventually have to come back to the truth”.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”.

~~~1 John 1:9 (KJV)~~~

*Warner, along with Lee Strobel, are called as expert witnesses in “God’s Not Dead 2“.

The Saving Grace of Jesus Christ

taylorjamesalbert

“But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life”.

~~~Titus 3:4-7 (KJV)~~~

“But when the goodness and loving-kindness of God our Savior to man [as man] appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit, Which He poured out [so] richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. [And He did it in order] that we might be justified by His grace (by His favor, wholly undeserved), [that we might be acknowledged and counted as conformed to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action], and that we might become heirs of eternal life according to [our] hope”.

Our Words Possess Power, Choose to Speak Life

taylorjamesalbert

“Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

~~~Proverbs 18:21 (KJV)~~~

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

~~~Philippians 4:4-7 (ESV)~~~

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me-practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.”

~~~Philippians 4:8-9 (ESV)~~~

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, of whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

The Joy of Acquiring God’s Wisdom

taylorjamesalbert

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”
