By the blast of GOD they perish

4/4/2016

Shall mortal man be more just than GOD? shall a man be more pure than his Maker? Behold, He put no trust in His servants; and His angels He charged with folly: How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. (Job 4:17-21)

     All of Eliphaz's words to Job would be true, if GOD'S mercies were not renewed every morning, and our life were not hid in Christ who is our life and our righteousness. We cannot be more just or righteousness than GOD, for we have no righteousness on our own apart from Him who put to death the flesh that we might have His great Salvation through repentance and faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. He alone is our strength, and the only way to be reconciled with the Father who is over all. It is foolish to live, or think, or act, otherwise.

      Without Christ and the eternal and abundant life He has already purchased for us, we would remain in our sins, and under the judgment of GOD, just as others who have no hope. We are but clay, made in the image of GOD but flawed by sin, and in rebellion against our Creator, who has already judged all to be guilty of sin against Him who is Holy and just. Without repentance of our sins and saving faith in Him who took our place and paid our sin debt, we would remain under His judgment and perish without the Wisdom which He gives and the mercy and grace He has freely offered to all who will come to Him on His terms. He is the Truth, the Word made flesh, He is the way, through the empty cross and empty tomb, He is the life, our Creator, Redeemer, and King.

     GOD has called His church to speak the Truth in love and the Word of reconciliation and righteousness, not as Eliphaz whose words were partially correct but not comforting. We are to take the whole counsel of GOD, rightly divided and fitly spoken, that those in need might know the Oracles of GOD. Our Lord has called His people to serve Him, as we minister to those around us who are hurting and in need, His ambassadors and servants of the King. He has commanded His children to love one another as members of His body and disciple one another in the Word of GOD that we may grow thereby into the full measure of Him who is our life. GOD has commissioned His servants to go with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and as we go, in the power of the Holy Spirit who guides and directs us, proclaiming the Good News of forgiveness through repentance and reconciliation with the Father through faith in the Son that those that believe that He is the Christ might have life in His Name.

     For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

In Christ,

Every man did that which was right in his own eyes

1/27/2016

And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah. And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest. (Jdg 17:3-5)

     The saddest epitaph written in the book of the Judges, in which it records that every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Eyes that can, and do, lie to us. Hearts that lead us astray because they are desperately wicked. Minds and thoughts tainted with sIn and corrupted by our sIn nature that lead to all sorts of wickedness and debauchery. Since Adam sinned, that has been the norm and the problem with mankind that Jesus died and rose again to deliver us from, that we might have life and have it more abundantly, free from sin and its power and wages, not free to sin more, but a new life of liberty and grace in Christ.

      This man had stolen and hidden his own mothers silver and only returned when it was discovered. When she got it back she had it melted and made into an idol of silver and they called it god. They even declared the Lord's blessing upon it, in blasphemy toward GOD. Their worship of this false idol led to hiring a Levite to be his personal priest, instead of working in the tabernacle, and further sin of declaring his own prosperity because of his idol and his 'priest'. GOD didn't bless it, or him, and tragedy followed as others learned of his wealth, his silver idol, and his servant 'priest'.

      If we are secure in Christ through our repentance of sin and our faith in Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, we cannot blatantly sin against our Holy and Righteous GOD and expect to continue in that sin. GOD will chastise and correct His own. We cannot expect His blessing on our sinful lifestyle, for He has already judged and condemned sin, both as an offense against Him and outright acts of rebellion, and declared those who are still in their sins, and not born again, as guilty sinners in need of Salvation. He paid the price of redemption in His own body on that cruel Roman cross that we might live, not in sIn, but in Him and for Him, new creatures in a covenant relationship and fellowship with Him.

      That is the purpose of each of us, and His church as a whole, to live and work in Him to accomplish His will and do His work in this broken and sinful world, that others might come to know Jesus Christ and see Jesus in us, the hope of Glory. He has called His people to be His ambassadors while we sojourn in this world, not of the world, and to minister to those around us who are hurting and in need. He has commanded us to love one another and to disciple one another in His Word until we all grow up into the full measure of Him through the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit that is within us. He has commissioned us to go to this lost and dying world and as we go tell the Good News of reconciliation and redemption to all who will hear, that those who believe the Gospel, repent of their sin, and receive Jesus Christ by faith in Him might have life in His Name.

     For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

I will offer it up for a burnt offering

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter. And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: (Jdg 11:30, 32, 34-45, 39a)

     Though GOD used Jephthah to deliver Israel from their enemies and oppressors (again), Jephthah is not a very good example of the judges He used, in fact most of the judges had very serious character flaws that inhibited or affected their time as a judge. Not only does GOD use flawed people to accomplish His work, despite our flaws. It also reflects on the truthfulness of the Word of GOD which records the Holiness and Righteousness of GOD and the flaws and sins of the people He has created, redeemed, and judged throughout its revealed record.

     Though Jephthah led a victory against the Ammonites for GOD, He was hasty and rash in his vow to the Lord. Instead of simply trusting GOD to deliver Israel, Jephthah, without thinking of what might be the result of his vow, offered up 'whatever' was first to the Lord. Because of the Law and his vow before GOD, Jephthah gave his only child, his daughter, to the Lord. Many are bothered, and rightfully so, by his sacrifice of her to GOD, which wasn't condoned simply recorded, but seemingly have less trouble with Jephthah denying his oath to the Lord. Both are sins before GOD and Jephthah was obligated by his own rash and unthinking oath to complete the promise and sacrifice.

     As horrible as it is to think about, we must remember that all sin is sin against our righteous and holy GOD who has already judged sin and sinners as guilty before Him. But, He loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to give us eternal life if we will trust Him and His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary in repentance and faith. He cannot condone sin, any sin, and He will and does punish those who refuse to repent, and chastises His own who sin that they may also repent and live in Him and through Him to accomplish His work in this world.

      We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, as new creatures living in the Spirit, to do His will and the work which He has for His church to do. We are His ambassadors to this lost and dying world, taking the Word of reconciliation to those around us who are hurting and in need, and meeting their needs as GOD gives the increase. We are His disciples, fellowshipping with one another in unfeighned love for the brethren and equipping the saints that we might all grow up into the full measure of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are His witnesses, taking the Gospel wherever we go, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with all who will hear, that they might repent of their sins and put their trust in Him and Him alone for Salvation and new life in His Name.

     For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD, forgiveness from GOD, and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools

And even as they did not like to retain GOD in their knowledge, GOD gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of GOD, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. (Rom 1:28-32)

    Lost people left to themselves will get worse and worse, and gravitate toward greater sIn. When the sins they commit no longer satisfy them, they will want more or begin to do worse. Man, as a sinner and under the condemnation of GOD's judgment because of our sIn, is lost, separated from GOD, and guilty before our righteous Judge. Lost people will do lost people things, for sIn is sIn, and apart from Christ we are all sinners, without hope in this world, and men most miserable. Those who do not have a saving faith in Jesus Christ through repentance and trust in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary, not only seem to enjoy their sIn for a season, but celebrate other sinners. That is the lost world Christ died for.

    Those of us who know Him, and His Spirit dwells within, are no longer as we once were. We are born again, and no longer dead in our trespasses and sins, but made alive in the Spirit. We walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit; in the light, as He is in the light, and cleansed from all sIn. That is not a license to sIn, nor is it freedom to do as we will, but Liberty to do His will and to walk in the Word. We are to be like Him, and grow in grace and the knowledge of our Saviour, until He takes us Home to be with Him.

    Until that day, we are to do His will, ministering to those around us, as His ambassadors and ministers of reconciliation. We are to love one another, and minister to the hurting and in need, as GOD gives the increase. We are to disciple one another in His Word, and guard, cherish, and teach all that He has commanded us. We are to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all who will hear, and as we go, living the Gospel we preach, share Him and His mercy with others that they may believe and in believing have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. GOD calls you to trust Him and what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new life in Christ. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation

8/29/2014

Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain. And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel. And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh. And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
For now I will stretch out My hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee My power; and that My Name may be declared throughout all the earth. As yet exaltest thou thyself against My people, that thou wilt not let them go? (Exo 9:3-5, 7-9, 15-17)

    The list of plagues continues, and Pharaoh is still rebellious and obstinate. Despite the destruction of his gods, his countries property, his people and the wealth and prosperity of Egypt, he will not relent and free what he sees as cheap labor. The people of Israel are going to be the most expensive "cheap" labor Pharaoh has ever seen. Here also begins a division, where GOD in His mercy, separates the Israelites, their cattle, and their crops, from that of the Egyptians. His judgments only come on the people and cattle of Egypt, for they are the transgressors in this scenario.

    This of course, does not equate Israel with innocence, since they are still fallen human beings under the curse of Adam and subject to sIn. But, in GOD's eyes, for the moment, He sees a difference between the rebellious taskmasters of Egypt, and His people, the children of Israel. GOD many times works on behalf of His people despite their sIn, and judges the oppressors because of their sIn. He also always makes a way out for those under judgment, repentance and faithful obedience to Him.

    Today, GOD's people are stricken, and cast down, even killed everywhere just for believing and trusting in their only hope for Salvation. But, even in this we who have put our hope in the One true GOD, know that know matter what happens, GOD is not aiming at us, and He will show Himself strong on behalf of His people. His actions and justice may not deliver us from the trial or even from death, but we will remain faithful to our GOD and continue to witness to those who don't know Him of His love, grace, and mercy to those who turn to Him in faith.

    Until the day the GOD takes us Home from this lost and dying world, and even while this world persecutes us, we have work to do for the Lord. He calls us to be on mission for Him, to minister to the hurting and in need as He guides and provides. He commands us to disciple one another in the Word and in love so that we can be conformed to the image of His dear Son. He has commissioned us to preach and proclaim the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary to all who will hear and believe, that in believing they might have life in His Name.

    For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Just as GOD called on Pharoah to repent and release the Hebrews, GOD calls you to trust what He has already done for you to pay your sIn debt. Just as He provided deliverance to Israel, He has provided the only way of reconciliation with GOD with forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, to give you a new heart in Christ. Don't harden your heart as Pharoah did, but turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life, now and always.

Rock of Ages cleft for me.

12/30/2013

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the GOD of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. (Psalms 114:1-8)

When GOD delivered the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt He wasn't just acting on behalf of those whom He had chosen to bring forth His Son, He was also giving us a type and picture of our deliverance from sIn and this world. He showed His power on behalf of Israel, and His care for His people. We know from this example that He is able to provide for us. We praise Him for His power, His deliverance, His Salvation and His care. He gave water from a rock in the desert, and gives Living Water to His saints. He gave manna in the desert, and gives us the Bread of Life.

This world and the things of nature that GOD has created cannot stand against the Almighty and His power. It will not last forever, and GOD, who is outside His creation and still rules from His throne, can and does do marvelous things on behalf of His people. He acts to accomplish His will and work from Salvation for sinners who cannot save themselves, to the care and providence of the sheep of His pasture, to the restoration of all things that will come when He makes a new heaven and a new earth. Only those that are secure in Jesus Christ will be with Him then, and all those that have rejected Christ and His Word will be separated from GOD forever.

But GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and be born again, and He will give you a brand new life of fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Believe His Word and receive by faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary the free gift of Salvation that He offers you. Trust Him today and let Him be your Rock and Deliverer.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet

Great and Mighty is the Lord our GOD

12/4/2013

For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work: I will triumph in the works of Thy hands. O LORD, how great are Thy works! and Thy thoughts are very deep. A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: But Thou, LORD, art most High for evermore. (Psalms 92:4-8)

The work of creation, redemption, and restoration by our GOD in the lives of His people is great and greatly to be praised. He created all things by the Word of His power. When we rebelled against Him He provided the only way we could come back to Him. He loves us so much that He became a man and willingly went to the Cross of Calvary for our sIn debt. He will restore all things, while destroying the wicked and all those that refuse to surrender to Him on His terms.

His Word is Truth and endures to all generations. We rejoice in it, and proclaim it to the nations. Even if they refuse to hear, or reject its precepts, we cannot but tell of all that GOD has done in, through, and for His people.

The ungodly may flourish for a season, because GOD will not force anyone to believe and repent, but punishment comes to all those that rebel and disobey our Holy and Righteous GOD. We do not rejoice in this, and neither does GOD who takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, we warn them of the condemnation that all are under except for the marvelous grace of our Living Lord.

For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. The Truth that you must be born again. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Believe His Word and receive Him by faith in His finished and perfect work and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Then you too can say how great His work of forgiveness and Salvation is.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet

Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving

11/15/2013

Unto Thee, O GOD, do we give thanks, unto Thee do we give thanks: for that Thy Name is near Thy wondrous works declare.
I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn: Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck. For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But GOD is the judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.
But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the GOD of Jacob. (Psalms 75:1,4-7,9)

GOD is to be thanked for all things. Everything comes from Him. He is to be praised as our Creator. He is to be worshipped as our Redeemer. He is exalted as our King.

Those that don't know Him act foolishly when they deny the Lord Jesus who gave His life for the sIn debt we owe. We are judged guilty before GOD, and it is only through His mercy, and the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross of Calvary that we are made right with GOD. Our own power cannot save us. Our own power cannot deliver us from sIn; its penalty, its power, or its presence.

But GOD in His infinite grace has provided Salvation to all those that believe. When we surrender to Him on His terms He lifts us up out of the miry clay of sIn and iniquity and sets in Heavenly places, both now and forever. That is Good News.

Everyone makes a choice, to either believe His Word and be born again, or shake their fist in the face of the GOD who loves them so much He came to earth to die in your place. GOD is not willing that any should perish, but calls everyone everywhere to repent. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He wants to give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Trust Jesus Christ and let Him do a wondrous work of grace in and for you today.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet

GOD will have them in derision

10/24/2013

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no GOD. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. GOD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek GOD. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up My people as they eat bread: they have not called upon GOD. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for GOD hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against Thee: Thou hast put them to shame, because GOD hath despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When GOD bringeth back the captivity of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. (Psalms 53:1-6)

There have always been people who rejected GOD and His Salvation. GOD calls them fools, for they deny their only hope in this life and the next. Those that oppose themselves in order to shake their fist in GOD's face and deny Him, while trying to save themselves from their own destruction.

Even worse are those that are His, and at least claiming to be, and yet they deny the Lord that bought them. The only thing worse than a sheep in wolf's clothing, is a shepherd in wolves clothing, for the sheep follow him to destruction.

GOD always has a remnant though, that are true to Him, and keep His Word and do His work, not because we have to, but because we want to. We preach Christ crucified and raised again, not only because it is the only salvation from our sIn, but because of what GOD has done in our life through the Cross and through the Blood. The One who created us, has redeemed us out of every nation, tongue, and tribe and will present us to GOD the Father as His bride, holy and spotless because of His finished work to pay our sIn debt.

Those that don't know Him are unclean, separated from GOD because of their sIn, and unless you repent, surrender to Him on His terms, you shall likewise perish. But, GOD is not willing that any should perish. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He commands you to be born again and wants you to receive by faith in Him a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Rejoice with Israel, and praise with Jacob the Salvation that comes from Jesus Christ.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet

All nature is singing His Majesty

9/20/2013

The heavens declare the glory of GOD; and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath He set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. (Psalms 19:1-6)

All nature reveals our GOD. Even though our world is broken by sIn and awaits the final restoration of all things, it still shows the design and care of our Creator. Logic and math, beauty and design are all seen in this world. From the greatest star put exactly where GOD wanted to be, to the smallest molecule of DNA which contains more information than a set of encyclopedias, GOD's work and care for His creation is seen and can be discovered.

GOD does not hide Himself, or His work, and only the foolish reject Him and His revelation of Himself through nature. But nature, being cursed by our sIn, is only the general revelation of GOD as Creator and Provider. GOD further reveals Himself through His Word that is more sure than even the sun coming up each day. One day there will be no more sun, but GOD's Word will remain.

As long lasting as this world seems to be, it will have an end, just as it had a beginning. But GOD, who is eternal and outside His creation, will never end, and we who are alive in Christ, will live forever with Him. We are promised this because of His love, and our faith in His finished work on the Cross of Calvary.

Those that don't know Jesus Christ are promised a different eternity, because they have not yet been born again. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He is not willing that you should perish, but wants you to repent of your sIn. Surrender to Him on His terms and be born again. Believe in Him and receive by faith a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship that is abundant and everlasting.

Trust His Word and His revelation of Himself, and His Salvation that is provided and freely offered to you.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
