A wonderful promise, as we continue to obey what God tells us to do, in training up our children, just as he continues with us.

I will sing to the LORD , for He is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea. 2 “The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will extol Him. 3 “ a The L ORD is a warrior; b 1 The L ORD is His name.

This is not a suggestion my friends. We are told to do this. It’s interesting, I can do one or the other, but I need help to be running on all cylinders, on all three consistently. How are you doing with it? Thank you Lord, for your patience with us as we grow in you!

There is no discrimination with God. Those who repent (turn) from their path of destruction, and put their dependence in Jesus, through his perfect life, that we could not do, will be saved. Every race, every color, every language, who calls upon the name of Jesus, in faith will be united together. This is good news, and the only truth that will conquer division, through love.

Praise God, we have a friend in Jesus. We sin regularly, and he forgives regularly. There is nothing you can’t go before to confess. He already knows, anyway.

The Path is wide that leads to destruction, but the Gate is narrow, that leads to salvation. Enter the narrow gate. Jesus is waiting patiently, to embrace you.

All have fallen short, and must repent. There is no superiority, because some have suffered more than others for their sin. We cannot think that we are better, because calamity has not befallen us.

greater sinners. It was the belief of many that disaster and sudden death always signified divine displeasure over particular sins (cf. Job 4:7 ). Those who suffered in uncommon ways were therefore assumed to be guilty of some more severe immorality (cf. Jn 9:2 ). † 13:3 unless you repent. Jesus did not deny the connection between catastrophe and human evil, for all such afflictions ultimately stem from the curse of humanity’s fallenness ( Ge 3:17–19 ). Furthermore, specific calamities may indeed be the fruit of certain iniquities ( Pr 24:16 ). But Christ challenged the people’s notion that they were morally superior to those who suffered in such catastrophes. He called all to repent, for all were in danger of sudden destruction. No one is guaranteed time to prepare for death, so now is the time for repentance for all (cf. 2 Cor. 6:2 ). you will all likewise perish. These words prophetically warned of the approaching judgment of Israel, which culminated in the catastrophic destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. Thousands in Jerusalem were killed by the Romans. See note on Mt 23:36 .

A sobering thought, yet reason to rejoice. We have been given a pardon, and we can live with no chains to bind us. Though we may, and will still sin, we are freed. Our hope and faith in Jesus, is our sanctuary. Live life in his name, and you will be set free.

This is truly, the good news of the Gospel. This is truly the most wonderful gift ever given to man. It’s only a gift though, if you accept it.
