"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

" But of H im are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. " - I CORINTHIANS 1:30 [KJV] Consider what heavenly blessings there are for those who have a living union with the Son of God. Everything is provided for them that shall be for their salvation and their sanctification: not a single blessing has God withheld that shall be for their eternal good. View them as foolish, ignorant, unable to see the way, puzzled and perplexed by a thousand difficulties, harassed by sin, tempted by Satan, far off upon the sea. How shall they reach the heavenly shore? God, by an infinite act of sovereign love, has made His dear Son to be their "wisdom," so that none shall err so as to err fatally; none shall miss the road for want of heavenly direction to find it or walk in it. Their glorious Head, who is in heaven, is made of God unto them wisdom on earth to bring them to their heavenly i

The Name of Jesus is so sweet, ‘Tis music to our ears; For He alone could save our souls, And drive away our fears. The Lord of glory long ago, Came to this world of woe; To save the chosen of the Lord, And pay the debt we owe. Here is a wondrous mystery, That God the Savior came; And gave Himself the sacrifice, To save us from our shame. O what a great Redeemer this, Whose blood atonement made; Our guilt in all its blackest hue, Was on the Savior laid. For us Christ died upon the cross, And wrath divine He bore; The risen Savior ever reigns, We’re safe forevermore. So sing, "All glory to the Lamb," Whose face we soon shall see; Then satisfied we all shall be, Throughout eternity. TUNE: "I Sing the Mighty Power of God" CM/D WORDS BY Jim Byrd

"Let Israel hope in the L ORD : for with the L ORD there is mercy, and with H im is plenteous redemption." -P SALM 130:7 [KJV]   "Let Israel hope in the Lord." Has she ceased to hope in the creature? Does she despair of salvation from any other source or quarter but the blood of the Lamb? Is she crying, sighing, longing, panting, and begging of the Lord to appear in her soul? "Let Israel," then, "hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy." He will not spurn His waiting Israel from His feet; He will not smite her with the lightnings of His wrath; He will shew mercy to the poor, guilty sinner that comes with dust upon his head, clothed with sackcloth and ashes, mourning and lamenting his vileness before the Lord. There is no wrath in the bosom of the Lord against him; there is mercy, pardoning mercy in the bosom of Jehovah for Israel; therefore "LET ISRAEL HOPE IN THE LORD.”   If Israel look to herself, she canno
