"And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and filled the entire house where they were sitting."

Acts 2:2

The Church of Jesus Christ was born suddenly. The Holy Spirit makes the church the body of Christ. The sound from heaven is what transformed those who were sitting in the house. The Spirit of God filled the people present, and the church was born.

It is the Holy Spirit within God's people that causes them to be the church. If we have not been regenerated by the Spirit then we remain people merely sitting together without life.

The Holy Spirit enables us to be the church of God. The entity of God's divine grace among humanity. His light and salt in the world. Let us wait upon God and seek His times of refreshing so that we may be a blessing to those around us for the glory of God.

In Christ Alone.

On Time | March 27th

"But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son,"

Galatians 4:4

Beloved, the Apostle Paul speaks of a specific time when Christ came unto humanity. The advent of our Lord. From this may we glean hope in our present circumstances.

Perhaps you are waiting for God to answer your prayer. Maybe you need His divine intervention within a circumstance in your life. You understand that a change must occur within yourself or another person you are praying for and you know that there is nothing within yourself that can bring about that transformation.

Be not dismayed dear one. In the fullness of time, Christ will come amid the need. God will be faithful. The Lord will demonstrate His goodness and mercy at the right time. Trust Him.

In Christ Alone.

Home Sweet Home | March 26th

"They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city."

Hebrews 11:16

We need help believing that there is a better country. We create a home that is comfortable for us. There are the pleasures we enjoy in our community and the places we go for entertainment. We have moments of relaxation and security measures bringing us peace.

We also realize that none of this lasts forever. No matter how hard we work, everything deteriorates over time. There is always a present uncertainty that is unsettling.

Regardless of the pleasures and sufferings of this life, there is a better country awaiting. That pleasant land is without suffering and sorrow. There are no needs in that distant land, and you will never say farewell there. It is a place beyond description and our wild imagination. It is a real place. We shall experience it with all our senses. In that far country, we will be content forever. God is not ashamed of those looking to Him for safe travel there. Our Lord has gone ahead and prepared a place for us. So let us keep in step with the Spirit until we enter that better country.

In Christ Alone.
