Things Men Can Do

Fail of the Grace of God

Hebrews 12:15  

See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

Fall from own steadfastness

2 Peter 3:14-18  

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.

15 Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.

16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.

18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Prayer Quotes

Me - “Prayer is the verbal release of faith – a specific faith for a specific purpose, all based on a specific promise from God.”

 “Prayer is more powerful than habits, heredity, and natural tendencies. It can overcome all these. It is more powerful than the forces that hold the planets in place. Prayer, though it comes from the heart of an unlearned child of God, can suspend the laws of the universe, if such be God’s will, just as the sun stood still when Joshua prayed. There is no other power on earth that the enemy of souls hates and fears as he does prayer. We are told that ‘Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees.’ “- Matilda Andross

Think it over:

~ Instead of living in the shadows of yesterday, walk in the light of today and the hope of tomorrow.
