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

Thank God, the Savior He has provided for us is possessed of limitless resources. There is no shortness or straitness in Him. There is infinite value in that precious blood which He shed upon the Cross to make an atonement for sin. There is infinite pity in His heart toward sinners. There is infinite readiness and willingness on His part to receive all who will come to Him. There is infinite power in His arm to deliver and keep that which is committed unto Him. There is no sinner so depraved that Christ’s blood cannot cleanse him. There is no sinner so bound by the fetters of Satan that Christ cannot free him. There is no sinner so weary and despondent that Christ cannot satisfy him. The promise of the Savior Himself is, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" [ M ATTHEW 11:28 ] . O, sin-sick soul, put Him to the test for yourself, and see. Come to Christ just as you are, in all your wretchedness and need, and He will ...

  God's grace does not operate where there is ability. Grace also finds no cause in the recipient it is all found in the giver. God is the giver of His grace to whom He pleases. Add just a pinprick of works to grace and it is no longer grace but works. T ITUS 3:4-7 , "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Salvation is all of the LORD! Praise His mighty name!    -Gospel report by preacher Wayne Boyd First Baptist church of Almont, Michigan USA Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel sermons & Contact Info: https://www.sermonaudio.com/source_detail.asp?sourceid=fbcalmont

  “…lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” -M ATTHEW 28:20 [KJV] Christ is with us — as our GUIDE. How deep our need of Him as such, and how endeared does it make Him! So blind are we, so dark is our future, so perplexing is our present path — that the very next step might be a false one — taking us into a wrong direction, entailing untold anxieties and sorrows, or hurling us from a precipice into total ruin! Yes, we need just such a guide as Christ! What Alpine traveler would attempt the ascent of a steep glacier, or cross the dangerous pass — unattended by an experienced guide — one who knew the route, whose skillful eye could detect the treacherous crevice, and whose strong arm could fence the narrow, winding way? Our path to eternity demands just such a guide as the prophet foretold Christ would be. "I have given Him," says God, "for a Leader and Commander to the people." His own gracious words corroborate this stateme...

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive."   - I CORINTHIANS 15:20-22 [KJV]   Christ risen is the firstfruits of that mighty crop of buried dead whose remains still sleep in the silent dust, and who will be joined by successive ranks of those who die in Him, till all are together wakened up in the resurrection morn. The figure is that of the sheaf of the firstfruits which was waved before the Lord before the harvest was allowed to be reaped [LEVITICUS 23:10, 11 ] . This offering of the wave sheaf was the consecration and dedication of the whole crop in the field to the Lord, as well as the manifest pledge that the harvest was fully ripe for the reaper's sickle.   The firstfruits represented the whole of the crop, as Christ is the representative of His saints; the o...

“ Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we our-selves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture” -P SALM 100:3 [KJV] Worship of God and discipleship to Christ must be intelligent. God’s revelation to the heart overcomes native ignorance and darkened understanding. Revelation leads to truth; then, worship is deeply spiritual [JOHN 4:24 ] . Paul decried his generation for “ being ignorant of God’s righteousness ” [ROMANS 10:3 ] . Replace our darkness with light, we pray. “ Know…the LORD He is God ” – Two principal names for God appear: “ LORD ” is Jehovah and “ God ” is Elohim. The former refers to God’s eternal self-existence; while, the latter refers to God’s unchallenged Almightiness. Jehovah is God in the most complete, exclusive and absolute sense. Knowing God as God is the highest calling of His elect. Obeying God as God is the highest gratitude of His elect. “ Know…He that hath made us ” – Worshipers, that is true believers...

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." -P SALM 91: 1 [KJV] What is "the secret place of the most High?" It is the same spot, of which Asaph speaks in the seventy-third Psalm—"Until I went into the sanctuary of God, then understood I their end." It is the spot, of which the Lord speaks in Ezekiel—"I will be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come." Then this "secret place" is the secret bosom of God. It is an entrance by faith into Jehovah, by a spiritual manifestation of Him, leading us into a spiritual acquaintance with Him. "The secret place of the most High" is that solemn spot, where Jehovah meets with the sinner in Christ, and where He opens up to him the riches of His mercy, and leads him into His bosom, so as to read the secrets of his loving heart.   It is called a "secret" place, as only known t...

The voice from the cross did not summon men to do, but to be satisfied with what was done: “IT IS FINISHED.” The sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ is the only perfect thing which has ever been presented to God on man’s behalf. “It shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein” [ LEVITICUS 22:21 ] . – Scott Richardson (1923-2010 A.D.), pastor in Fairmont, West Virginia, USA Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel sermons: https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?speakeronly=true&currsection=sermonsspeaker&keyword=Scott_Richardson
