Salvation Belong to God | Nov. 6th

"Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation."

Psalm 85:7

Regardless of your political view, this should be the prayer of God's people for the nation. For the kingdoms of this world do not stand or fall by the powers of man but through the providence of God.

God Almighty reigns over heaven and earth. We are called to humble ourselves beneath God's mighty hand and pray for His mercy. We exist because of God's steadfast love and are dependent upon His faithfulness.

As the people of God, let us ask for His salvation. We would see a revival and a reformation within the church that would touch the world around us for His glory. Pray for the steadfast love of God to be seen in your life, in your family, in your church, and the world. May God grant us His salvation.

In Christ Alone,

A Pure Heart | Nov. 5th

"Now may the God of peace.... working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ,..."

Hebrews 13:20,21

Every true believer desires to please God. We earnestly hope to become more Christ-like in all that we say and do. The longer we endeavor to accomplish this, the more daunting the task becomes if we rely on ourselves.

We soon realize in our fatigue and failures that we need to depend upon the Lord to work in us that which pleases Him. We certainly have a responsibility to seek the Lord and follow Him in faithful obedience.

We must look to the Lord to help us. It is the Holy Spirit who transforms us and works in us the grace of God. The Spirit of the Lord gives us the power to walk uprightly before God and create within us a heart that is pleasing to Him.

This is your hope today, beloved. Ask the Lord to renew a right spirit within you and to keep your heart pure.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

The Cornerstone Nov. 4th

"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

1 Peter 2:6

Many years ago, while working carpentry, we would occasionally have to resecure the support for the older colonial homes. This would involve reestablishing a secure means of supporting the house. It would ensure the house's integrity and, hopefully, enable it to stand another hundred years.

In Christ, we have a precious cornerstone to stand upon in this life. The strength He supplies enables us to endure any trials we experience. There will never be anything in this world that Jesus cannot keep us through. His peace is eternal. His grace is sufficient. God's wisdom is timeless, and He is faithful in goodness.

If you have weakened in your spirit or have put your trust in yourself, turn to Christ today. Stand upon the salvation Jesus has provided for you and the hope He has offered to you. You will never be put to shame for trusting in Jesus Christ.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
