A New Path



For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. {17} For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17



Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, - PHILIPPIANS 3:13


Praise THE LOVE OF Our Lives, JESUS CHRIST!




JESUS, GREETINGS, my friend,


     Well, HAPPY LORD'S DAY, my friend! It is the beginning of another week, and with any new beginning comes the opportunity to start again. We see this normally at the beginning of the New Year, with the setting of resolutions, or what I love to call "prayer requests", however, it would do us good to take inventory concerning where we are, from time to time, throughout the year in order that we'd have a CHRIST JESUS-Glorifying course of action showing forth some clarity to our Christian gait.


     When we begin "A New Path" as our topic title suggests today, it becomes imperative that we'd place our past sins, iniquities, transgressions, mistakes, and frailties behind. This, my friend, is not always easy. Our enemy, the devil, works overtime to try to keep us from our the "desired haven" CHRIST JESUS HAS SO LOVINGLY Patterned for us.


     With this in mind, the key component to our starting "a New Path" involves our forgiving others at times, but most-importantly forgiving ourselves. Because it can be difficult to forgive ourselves from all the turmoil of the past, some things created by ourselves {PSALM 107:20}, it may take awhile with the HELP OF THE BLESSED HOLY SPIRIT {SAINT JOHN 14:26}, to get us to the place where our BELOVED JESUS CHRIST wants us to be.


     Let's face it, JESUS IS LORD AND GOD {SAINT JOHN 20:28, GENESIS 1:26, SAINT JOHN 1:1-5}! HE, Being our LORD, and GOOD SHEPHERD {SAINT JOHN 10:11} KNOWS all that it is going to entail in order that we'd learn from our mistakes and come forward to the place of maturity with HIS PRECIOUS DEATH AND RESURRECTION AS our FOUNDATION. For we have no other Foundation than that of CHRIST {1 CORINTHIANS 3:11}.


     So, how about it, my friend. Ready for some early "Spring cleaning" in the several areas of your life that may require an overhaul? Let's face that truth here that our JESUS LOVES us, no matter what we have done. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can separate me from HIS LOVE {ROMANS 8:38-39}. When we honor HIM through Respect, Obedience, and coming to HIM for Help and Fellowship {1 JOHN 1:3}, HE WILL Honor us {PSALM 91:15, SAINT JOHN 12:26}, in turn, Ridding us of the stain of our past sins, and enveloping us with THE HELP OF HIS COUNTENANCE {PSALM 42:5}, ensuring that our past does not need to hinder our present or our future in HIM {JEREMIAH 29:11, PHILIPPIANS 3:13}. Amen? Amen! "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. {REVELATION 22:21}" "Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen {1 JOHN 5:21}."


The SALVATION Mandate

(Please be Confident and Secure in This)


“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. {17} “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. - SAINT JOHN 3:16-17





That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - ROMANS 10:9


For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. - ROMANS 10:13
