Jesus Is The Sweetest Name I Know (lyrics by Lela B. Long, 1924)

[verse 1]
There have been names that I have loved to hear,
But never has there been a name so dear
To this heart of mine, as the name divine,
The precious, precious name of Jesus.

[Chorus]
Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He’s just the same as His lovely name,
And that’s the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.

[verse 2]
There is no name in earth or heav’n above,
That we should give such honor and such love,
As the blessed name, let us all acclaim,
That wondrous, glorious name of Jesus.

[Chorus]
Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He’s just the same as His lovely name,
And that’s the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.

[verse 3]
And some day I shall see Him face to face
To thank and praise Him for His wondrous grace,
Which He gave to me, when He made me free,
The blessed Son of God called Jesus.

[Chorus]
Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He’s just the same as His lovely name,
And that’s the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.

[Final Chorus]
Jesus is the sweetest name I know,
And He’s just the same as His lovely name,
And that’s the reason why I love Him so;
Oh, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

GOD’S FULL ARMOR! Ephesians 6:13 – Devotional

by | Feb 26, 2026 | Ephesians

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

GOD’S FULL ARMOR!

Ephesians 6:13 – Devotional

Ephesians 6:13

“Therefore take up the whole armor of God,
that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.”

I am sure that you have heard the expression: Well, that’s the last straw! We’ve probably all experienced a time when it felt like life’s pressures had become so great we could hardly go on when another discouraging issue suddenly arose. It was then that “the last straw” phrase was muttered.

There is certainly little doubt that we live in an evil day. Not only do we live in an evil day, but the evil seems to get worse with each passing day. Doing what is Godly and right is now seen as being wrong and evil.

Along with the reality of facing “the last straw,” we also come to the reality that it is time to stand for what is right. It is time for battle! Today’s Scripture passage indicates that we are to take on the full armor of God and stand firm in our defense of the Word of God.

In standing firm and sure for the Gospel, there may be casualties. I would much rather be wounded or even killed in defending the cause of Christ than going along with the masses who deny the faith. This is the last straw — what are we going to do about it? I, for one, am going to stand clad with God’s full armor. Join me?

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

OUR PROTECTION! Psalm 59:16 – Devotional

by | Feb 25, 2026 | Hebrews

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

OUR PROTECTION!

Psalm 59:16 – Devotional

Psalm 59:16

“But I will sing of Your strength, in the morning I will sing of Your love;
for You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.”

There is an observation I would like to share and relate to spiritual truth from my military career ― my duty as a missile launch officer.

I was assigned as a Combat Crew Commander for the Minuteman Missile program and, honestly, cannot recall the first time I went down the elevator into a real launch center, but each trip down was an awe-inspiring experience. There were two sets of doors that took away one’s breath. The first were massive doors about twelve to fifteen feet high and about 15 inches thick. Believe me, it took effort to swing the doors open. But that just permitted entrance into the equipment room.

Getting into the launch capsule itself was another story. The massive 10-ton blast door could only be opened by one of the crew members from inside the capsule. As the huge door began to swing, the officer inside would shout, “Stand clear of the blast door.” That always seemed silly ― as if someone would stand in front of ten tons of swinging door!

Thinking about the huge doors that were designed to protect the missile crew, I think about the protection God gives His children. Please understand that this is not a free ride to a life of ease. God’s people have often been called upon to suffer and even die for Him. But the vital truth is that He has given us eternal life! That is the safest protection we could ever ask for.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!

UNLIMITED BALANCE! Hebrews 4:16 – Devotional

by | Feb 24, 2026 | Hebrews

Hear Pastor Cecil read today's Evotional

UNLIMITED BALANCE!

Hebrews 4:16 – Devotional

Hebrews 4:16

“Let us come boldly to the throne of grace
that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in the hour of our need.”

We live in a world where many have been lured into the pit of credit card debt. As a result it is hard to get a good grasp on saving. At the same time there are some people who become obsessed with saving for a future they may never live to see.

Jesus once told the parable of the rich fool. This rich man had such bountiful crops that he decided to build new barns to store all of the abundance of his fields. God thundered out that that very night the man would die and all of his planning would be for nothing.

Jesus was not advocating that we are not to make provision for the future, but that we must be careful to make the things of God our primary aim. “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

God’s grace is always available for anyone who will draw from His storehouse of grace. We can never stockpile God’s grace, but His abundant supply is always waiting for us at the time we need it. If you are facing an obstacle that seems to be more than you can bear, call out to God — He will supply His unlimited balance!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
