"No man who has put his hand to the plow, looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." -Dr. Luke


"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on things on the earth".

" ... looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,"



We need to keep our minds set on Christ. If we are to know Him, and His love, peace, joy, and power, we must focus on Christ. And this focusing is for the purpose of bringing Him glory, and pleasure. He is our God, and we must never take Him lightly. He is our sovereign Lord, and we must never think he is any less. He is also our Friend, and we must never forget that the greatest love in all the universe is when someone lays down His life for a friend. He is not only our Friend, but we are His friends.
He is also our brother. Imagine that! And He is not ashamed to call us brothers. Imagine that! But only those who have trusted Christ, and turned from his sin, and who has received the gift of righteousness in the Holy Spirit.

What a Savior! And there's no other Savior, and no other name under the stars, whereby a man, or woman can be saved, and set free, and forgiven of all his, or her sins.
