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

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." -Daniel 7:13, 14 [KJV] ...BAM!

In the LORD have I righteousness and strength.” -Isaiah 45:24 [KJV] There is something wonderfully vast and glorious in the righteousness of our Savior freely imputed, reckoned, credited to every sinner saved by the grace of God. You have read in the Scriptures of the flood waters covering the earth in the days of Noah. It is written that not even the peaks of the highest mountains could be seen. Nothing was visible except for the vastness of an endless body of water, reflecting the rays of the sun and revealing the only place of safety from that deluge, the ark. O my sinful friend. Would to God that you would be called by t...
