FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:
THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE HEART BEFORE IT WAS WRITTEN ON STONE
Christ the Creator and Lawgiver wrote the law in the hearts and minds of Adam and Eve in their creation as the crowning act of His creative power.
“Adam and Eve, at their creation, had a knowledge of the law of God; they were acquainted with its claims upon them; its precepts were written upon their hearts.”

‘BACK TO EDEN’ MEANS MUCH MORE THAN ORIGINAL DIET
“God the Father always worked through His Son, both in creation and redemption (Gen. 1:1-24; Col. 1:15-19; Heb. 1:1-3,8]. Therefore it was Jesus Christ who created ‘the heavens and the earth’ and ‘rested the seventh day.’
‘All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. He was in the world and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.’ John 1:3,10,KJV.

CHRIST THE LAW-GIVER MAGNIFIES HIS LAW IN HIS GOSPEL
“The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will magnify His law and make it honorable.” Isa.42:21.
The gospel-prophet prophesied that central to Christ’s mission and work on earth as the Messiah, was to magnify His law that was transgressed by His backsliding people, trampled upon by apostates and corrupted by the wicked.
How did God give His law? Only after the grand and awful preparation for it, in silence.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
“But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands. And let her own works praise her in the gates.” Prov. 31: 30,31, NKJV. (Read the whole chapter. It is God’s commendation for godly mothers and wives).
One of my favorite passages of any author is the one I share to all mothers today:
“There is a God above and the light and glory from His throne rests upon the faithful mother as she tries to educate her children to resist the influences of evil.”

CLAIMING THE MERITS OF CHRIST’S CLOSING WORK OF ATONEMENT
Mainstream Christianity clings to the mistaken idea that Christ’s work for the redemption of sinners ended at the cross. When Jesus said, “It is finished” as He was expiring, it was the sacrifice of His life and and shedding of His blood that was “finished” as the “Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.”
He then resurrected after His death to become our merciful High Priest, pleading His own blood in behalf of all penitent sinners who are repenting and confessing their sins. This is how the repentant sinner is justified by the blood of Christ, never by his “works!!”

MEEKLY WAIT AND MURMUR NOT
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength: they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” Isa. 40:31, KJV (See verses 26-31).
The reason why our failing strength is not renewed or replenished is because we don’t wait upon the Lord, and therefore we do not have the “patience of the saints” who truly wait with long endurance. As Jesus Himself said, “He that endureth to the end the same shall be saved.” (Look that up in your Bible).

WE DESPERATELY NEED GENUINE GRACE IN THIS COVID-19 MOMENTOUS MOMENT
Good first working day morning of this week! Time to roll-up the sleeves of our mind. Check its spiritual oil dipstick first and see to makes sure you have enough oil of the Holy Spirit before starting its engines! Failure to do this has wrecked too many “brand new” Christian “character” cars. It lacks the “lubricating” power and properties of the Holy Spirit!
Let’s prayerfully and humbly turn to Jesus, the light, life, peace, wisdom and healer of our souls as He reveals Himself in the Written Word and ask Him what GRACE IS FOR.

God is Speaking. Do You Know Recognize His ‘Voice’?
Jesus said: “My sheep know My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10: 27.
And He continues:“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father who has given them [His lamb and sheep], is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hands. I and My Father are one.” verses 28, 29.
In these short verses alone, God in Christ, through the Holy Spirit in the written and spoken Word, is speaking volumes of present, testing truth to two classes of people in this moment of earth-time in the vicinity of the prophesied startling closing events leading to the end of earth’s six-thousand-year probation. Jesus was born four thousand years after the fall. We are now “living and moving and have our being” (Acts 17: 28) in the year 2020.
