A Prayer

Blessed are you, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes.

Open my eyes that I may see the wondrous things from Your Law.

Revive me according to Your Word.

Teach me good judgement and knowledge, because I believe Your commandments.

Uphold me according to Your Word, that I may live.

Direct my steps by Your Word as one who finds great treasure.

Let my soul live, and it shall praise You!

Amen and Amen

Church and Ministry 

. My church family give me:

- God’s purpose to live for (mission)

- God’s people to live with (membership)

- God’s principles to live out (ministry)

- God’s power to live on (magnify)

Joel 2:21

Be not afraid, O land; be glad and rejoice. Surely the LORD has done great things.

This reassurance from God is given to a people facing desperate times, which were brought on by God to lead them to repent. Their land lies desolate and decimated from drought, plagues, and poor harvests. God, however, is now promising to bless them if they will return to him with all their hearts. The LORD, the covenant God of Israel, will do great things to bring his people to deliverance through their repentance and his gracious power. The land can rejoice and be glad. So should his people! So should we! Because of Jesus, we know that "the LORD has done great things" for us!

What shall I render to my God

What shall I render too my God for all his mercy’s store? I’ll take the gifts he hath bestowed, and humbly ask for more.

Praise him, ye saints, the God of love who hath my sins forgiven, till gathered to the church above we sing the songs of heaven.
