The Lord stood by me and gave me strength, 

so that through me the proclamation 

might be completed 

and all the Gentiles might hear it. 

2 TIMOTHY 4:17

Thus says the Lord to His anointed, "I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew Me not. I am the Lord and there is no other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know Me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may know that there is none besides me. I am the Lord, there is no other. (Is 45:4-6)

The Lord appointed seventy-two disciples whom He sent ahead of Him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. (Lk 10:1)

He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, yourpeace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’” (Lk 10:2-9)

The Lord is just in all His ways and holy in all His works. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. (Ps 145:17-18) Tell His glory among the nations; among all peoples, His wondrous deeds. For great is the Lord and highly to be praised; awesome is He, beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the Lord made the heavens. (Ps 96:3-5)

Our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. (1 Thes 1:5)

Let all Your works give You thanks, O Lord, and let Your faithful ones bless You. Let them discourse of the glory of Your Kingdom and speak of Your might. Making known to men Your might and the glorious splendor of your Kingdom. Your Kingdom is a Kingdom for all ages, and Your dominion endures through all generations. (Ps 145:10-13)

The Righteousness of God

For in it is revealed the righteousness of God 

from faith to faith; as it is written, 

“The one who is righteous by faith will live.” 

ROMANS 1:17

The wrath of God is indeed being revealed from heaven against every impiety and wickedness of those who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what can be known about God is evident to them, because God made it evident to them. (Rom 1:18-19)

Jesus said, “Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside? But as to what is within, give alms, and behold, everything will be clean for you.” (Lk 11:39-41)

Ever since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes of eternal power and divinity have been able to be understood and perceived in what He has made. As a result, they have no excuse; for although they knew God they did not accord Him glory as God or give Him thanks. Instead, they became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds were darkened. (Rom 1:20-21)

While claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for the likeness of an image of mortal man or of birds or of four-legged animals or of snakes. Therefore, God handed them over to impurity through the lusts of their hearts for the mutual degradation of their bodies. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and revered and worshipped the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (Rom 1:22-25)

I am not ashamed of the Gospel. It is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: for Jew first, and then Greek. For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “The one who is righteous by faith will live.” (Rom 1:16-17)

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims His handiwork. Day pours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge. Not a word nor a discourse whose voice is not heard; through all the earth their voice resounds, and to the ends of the world, their message. (Ps 19:2-5)

You are called to belong to Jesus Christ. 

ROMANS 1:6

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ (Rom 1:7).

The Lord has made His salvation known: in the sight of the nations He has revealed his justice. He has remembered His kindness and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God. (Ps 98:2-3)

Jesus said, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.” (Lk 11:29-32)

God promised previously through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, the Gospel about His Son, descended from David according to the flesh, but established as Son of God in power according to the spirit of holiness through resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord. (Rom 1:2-4)

Through Him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of His name, among all the Gentiles, among whom are you also, who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. (Rom 1:5-6)

Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done wondrous deeds; His right hand has won victory for him, his holy arm (Ps 98:1). Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; break into song; sing praise (Ps 98:4).

My God will fully supply whatever you need, 

in accord with his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 

PHILIPPIANS 4:19

The Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. He will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces; the reproach of His people He will remove from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken. (Is 25:6-8)

Jesus said, “Behold, I have prepared my banquet, my calves and fattened cattle are killed, and everything is ready; come to the feast.” (Mt. 22:4)

On that day it will be said: “Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the Lord for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that He has saved us!” (Is 25:9)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want (Ps 23:1). I know how to live in humble circumstances; I know also how to live with abundance. In every circumstance and in all things, I have learned the secret of being well fed and of going hungry, of living in abundance and of being in need. I can do all things in Him who strengthens me. (Phil 4:12-13)

Even though I walk in the dark valley I fear no evil; for You are at my side with Your rod and your staff that give me courage. (Ps 23:4) You spread the table before me in the sight of my foes; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Only goodness and kindness follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord for years to come. (Ps 23:2-6)

Clouds and darkness are round about Him, 

justice and judgment are the foundation of His throne. 

PSALM 97:2

Near is the day of the Lord in the valley of decision (Jl 4:14). And then, on that day, the mountains shall drip new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk; and the channels shall flow with water: a fountain shall issue from the house of the Lord, to water the Valley (Jl 4:18). 

Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” (Lk 11:28)

Thus says the Lord: "Let the nations bestir themselves and come up to the Valley; for there I will sit in judgment upon all the neighboring nations. Apply the sickle, for the harvest is ripe; come and tread, for the wine press is full; the vats overflow, for great is their malice. Then shall you know that I, the Lord, am your God, dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain; Jerusalem shall be holy, and strangers shall pass through her no more. I will avenge their blood, and not leave it unpunished." (Jl 4:12-13,17,21)

The Lord is a refuge to His people, a stronghold to the children of Israel (Jl 4:16). Egypt shall be a waste, and Edom a desert waste, because of violence done to the people of Judah, because they shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall abide forever, and Jerusalem for all generations. (Jl 4:19-20)

The heavens proclaim His justice, and all peoples see His glory (Ps 97:6). The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice; let the many isles be glad (Ps 97:1).

Light dawns for the just; and gladness, for the upright of heart. Be glad in the Lord, you just, and give thanks to His holy name. (Ps 97:11-12)

Choose the Better Part

"There is need of only one thing. 

Mary has chosen the better part 

and it will not be taken from her.” 

LUKE 10:42

Until the present day, we have been disobedient to the Lord, our God, and only too ready to disregard His voice (Bar 1:19). We have neither heeded the voice of the Lord, our God, nor followed the precepts which the Lord set before us (Bar 1:18). Each one of us went off after the devices of our own wicked hearts, served other gods, and did evil in the sight of the Lord, our God (Bar 1:22).

Jesus said to them, “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you. And as for you, Capernaum, ‘Will you be exalted to heaven? You will go down to the netherworld. (Lk 10:13-15) If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” (Lk 11:13)

Did you experience so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? Does, then, the one who supplies the Spirit to you and works mighty deeds among you do so from works of the law or from faith in what you heard? (Gal 3:4-5) After beginning with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh? (Gal 3:3)

He has raised up for us a mighty savior, born of the house of His servant David. Through His holy prophets He promised of old that He would save us from our enemies, from the hand of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers and to remember His holy covenant. This was the oath He swore to our father Abraham: to set us free from the hand of enemies, free to worship Him without fear, holy and righteous in His sight all the days of our life. (Lk 1:69-75)

All the nations You have made shall come and worship You, O Lord, and glorify Your name. For You are great, and You do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. (Ps 86:9-10) Help us, O God our savior, because of the glory of your name; deliver us and pardon our sins for your name’s sake (Ps 79:9). Remember not against us the iniquities of the past; may your compassion quickly come to us, for we are brought very low (Ps 79:8).

Make Ready According to the Lord's Bidding

So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, 

according to the Lord’s bidding. 

Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; 

it took three days to go through it. 

JOHAH 3 : 3

Today is holy to the Lord your God. Do not be sad, and do not weep. Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks, and allot portions to those who had nothing prepared; for today is holy to our Lord. Do not be saddened this day, for rejoicing in the Lord must be your strength! (Neh 8:9-10)

Jesus said, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, and no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this household.’ If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God is at hand for you.’ (Lk 10:2-9)

Read plainly from the book of the law of God, interpreting it so that all could understand what was read (Neh 8:8). The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul; the decree of the Lord is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the command of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eye. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the Lord are true, all of them just. They are more precious than gold, than a heap of purest gold; sweeter also than syrup or honey from the comb. (Ps 19:8-11) Then all the people went to eat and drink, to distribute portions, and to celebrate with great joy, for they understood the words that had been expounded to them (Neh 8:12).

I went up in accord with a revelation, and I presented to them the Gospel that I preach to the Gentiles—but privately to those of repute—so that I might not be running, or have run, in vain. (Gal 2:2)

“Father, hallowed be Your name, Your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test.” (Lk 11:2-4) If You, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand? But with You is forgiveness, that You may be revered. (Ps 130:3-4)

Lead a Quiet and Tranquil Life

 

PAVILION SLIDING GLASS DOORS INSTALLATION
September 13, 2023

First of all, I ask that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings 

be offered for everyone, for kings and for all in authority, 

that we may lead a quiet and tranquil life in all devotion and dignity. 

1 TIMOTHY 2:1-2

This is good and pleasing to God our savior, who wills everyone to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth. For there is one God. There is also one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as ransom for all. (1 Tim 2:3-6)

Jesus said, "Woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you that are full now, for you shall hunger. Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets." (Lk 6:24-26)

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth (Col 3:2). Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry (Col 3:5). In these you once walked, when you lived in them. But now put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and foul talk from your mouth. Put off the old nature with its practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. (Col 3:7-10)

As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body though many are one body, so also Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free persons, and we were all given to drink of one Spirit. Now the body is not a single part, but many (Cor 12:12-14). Now you are Christ’s Body, and individually parts of it. Some people God has designated in the Church to be first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then, mighty deeds; then, gifts of healing, assistance, administration, and varieties of tongues. (Cor 12:27-28)

This was the testimony at the proper time. For this I was appointed preacher and Apostle, teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. It is my wish, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger or argument. (1 Tim 2:6-8)

Every day I will bless Thee, and praise Thy name for ever and ever (Ps 145:2). All Thy works shall give thanks to Thee, O LORD, and all Thy saints shall bless Thee! They shall speak of the glory of Thy kingdom, and tell of Thy power, to make known to the sons of men Thy mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of Thy kingdom. (Ps 145:10-12)

The Lord God opens my ear that I may hear; 

and I have not rebelled, have not turned back.

ISAIAH 50:4-5

When the time had fully come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. (Gal 4:4-7)

Jesus said, "You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do. Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and that of the gospel will save it.” (Mk 8:33-35)

As you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, rooted in Him and built upon Him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to the tradition of men, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ. (Col 2:6-8)

I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was handed over, took bread, and, after He had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is My Body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My Blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes (1 Cor 11:23-26). 

Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy to have You enter under my roof but say the word and let my servant be healed (Lk 7:6-7). 

Behold I come. In the written scroll it is prescribed for me, to do Your will, O my God, is my delight, and Your law is within my heart! I announced Your justice in the vast assembly; I did not restrain my lips, as You, O Lord, know. (Ps 40:8-10)

COLOSSIANS 2:6-7

The Lord has made His salvation known: in the sight of the nations He has revealed His justice (Ps 98:2). He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the Kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. (Col 1:13-14)

Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for the Kingdom of God is yours. Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh (Lk 6:20-21). Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.” (Lk 5:10)

The time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away. (1 Cor 7:29-31) See to it that no one captivate you with an empty, seductive philosophy according to the tradition of men, according to the elemental powers of the world and not according to Christ. (Col 2:8)

You were buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead (Col 2:12). Do not cease to pray and ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding (Col 1:9). Be strengthened with every power, in accord with His glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy (Col 1:11).

All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation by our God. (Ps 98:3). Give thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light (Col 1:12). 

Lord, every day will I bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever (Ps 145:2). Let all Your works give You thanks, O Lord, and let Your faithful ones bless You (Ps 145:10). Let them discourse of the glory of Your Kingdom and speak of Your might. (Ps 145:11). I will extol you, O my God and King, and I will bless your name forever and ever (Ps 145:1).
