The Message

Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also would walk in newness of life. Romans 6:4

Holy Spirit

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit. John 3:8

Sea in a Bottle

And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoisted up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. Acts 27:40

Paul and the Snake on Malta

And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness (that means they showed a lot of kindness): for they kindled a fire, and received us every one . . . Acts 28:1-6

Shield of Faith 

I was walking along at a leisurely pace,when the devil came along and got up in my face

“Come away with me,” he said, with a grin“I’ll show you some fun,” but I knew it was sin.

Shield of Faith, I won’t put it down.Shield of Faith, is where safety is found.

 Could it be true, God loved me so?

The devil was quick to say “no, no, no!”I knew it was a lie, my Bible said so,

but I started to stumble; fears started to grow.Shield of Faith, I won’t put it down.

Shield of Faith, is where safety is found. 

Evil may stalk you on this road of life,with sickness, betrayal, and ongoing strife.With your Shield of Faith in Jesus Christ

With Him you have a chance in this awful fight.Shield of Faith, I won’t put it down.

Shield of Faith, is where safety is found.—Gamblin ‘09

In Conclusion

However trying our labor, as true workers we do not regard it as drudgery. We are ready to spend and to be spent; it is a cheerful work, done with a glad heart. Joy in God is expressed through Jesus Christ. Our joy is the joy set before Christ,--“to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work.”Christ’s Object
