Whoever Believes (inspired by John 3:16-17)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born[a] Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn’t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him” (John 3:16-17)

[Verse 1]
God so loved the world He made,
Love beyond all measure shown.
Not a distant silent love,
But a gift from heaven’s throne.
He gave His one and only Son,
Sent to walk the earth below—
Love came down to rescue us,
More than we could ever know.

[Pre-Chorus]
A door is open wide today,
An invitation to believe.

[Chorus]
Whoever believes will live forever,
Grace is calling every heart.
From every nation, every people,
God’s great love is reaching far.
No more lost and no more broken,
Life is shining from above—
Whoever believes in Jesus
Will find eternal life in love.

[Verse 2]
He did not come to judge the world,
Not to bring a word of blame.
He came to save the lost and wandering,
Calling every soul by name.
Light has come into the darkness,
Hope for all who choose to see—
Love has made a way to heaven,
Through the cross at Calvary.

[Pre-Chorus]
A door is open wide today,
An invitation to believe.

[Chorus]
Whoever believes will live forever,
Grace is calling every heart.
From every nation, every people,
God’s great love is reaching far.
No more lost and no more broken,
Life is shining from above—
Whoever believes in Jesus
Will find eternal life in love.

[Bridge]
Two roads before the human soul,
One leads to life, one fades away.
But mercy calls through Christ alone—
Believe in Him today.

[Final Chorus]
Whoever believes will live forever,
Grace is calling every heart.
God so loved the world He gave us
Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Lift your eyes and see His mercy,
Heaven’s gift from up above—
Whoever believes in Jesus
Will live forever in His love.

I Come (inspired by lyrics by Charlotte Elliott, 1836)

 [Verse 1]
Just as I am, I bring no claim
Only Your blood, only Your name
You call me near, You open the way
O Lamb of God, I come today

[Verse 2]
Just as I am, I don’t delay
I can’t make clean what sin has stained
Your mercy washes white again
O Lamb of God, I come

[Chorus]
I come, I come
Just as I am, I come
I come, I come
O Lamb of God, I come

[Verse 3]
Just as I am, with doubt and fear
Battles within, the weight I bear
You meet me here, You hold me fast
O Lamb of God, I come at last

[Verse 4]
Just as I am, I have no sight
Yet You are truth, You are my light
All that I need is found in You
O Lamb of God, please make me new

[Chorus
I come, I come
Just as I am, I come
I come, I come
O Lamb of God, I come

[Bridge]
You receive, You forgive
You restore my soul
I believe Your promise true
I am Yours, You make me whole

[Final Chorus (Build)]
I come, I come
Nothing to prove, nothing to hide
I come, I come
O Lamb of God, forever mine

[Outro]
Just as I am
I come

OUR TRUE HOME​​!

John 15:4​ – Devotional

John 15:4​

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.“

The reality of homelessness has become a great issue in our modern world. In many cases people have been forced from the lives they once knew and been left to spend their time moving from shelter to shelter.

Because of devastating catastrophes thousands of people are now or in the future experience homelessness. It may be temporary, but it is possible that some may never be able to return to their homes.

For the true believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can visualize ourselves as being HOMELESS. That is certainly true when we pause to consider that our time in this world is temporary at best. How long we stay here is not as important as is the attitude we have toward our eternal home.

The promise that Jesus offers us here in today’s Scripture is that when we abide in Him, we are at home regardless of where that may be. I was at home when I was on a remote assignment in northern Newfoundland, Canada. I am also at home here in Tumwater, Washington. I just want to abide in Him until He calls me HOME!

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

GOD’S GIFT OF PEACE​​!

John 14:25​ – Devotional

John 14:25​

“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.“

In 1938, prior to the outbreak of WWII, Lord Sir Neville Chamberlain returned from Germany with a peace compact that was signed by Adolph Hitler. He waved the document and proclaimed, “Peace in our time!” We now know how false that peace really was.

Even today there is a peace that is anything but peaceful. I am told that in the midst of major battles a cease fire is ordered in which both sides stop hostilities for a certain period of time. It may be temporarily quiet, but it is not TRUE PEACE.

Jesus promises His followers peace that is far different from anything the world can offer. It is peace in the midst of the storms of life. It is the peace that God gave to Stephen when he was being stoned to death (Acts 7:54-60). Other martyrs died with that same peace that can only be described as REAL PEACE.

Perhaps you feel like you are being tossed to and fro in the storms of life. It is time to anchor your life to the rock of our salvation and allow the Lord to give you His TRUE PEACE that will last and satisfy your soul.

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

LIVING IN CHRIST​!

John 14:20 – Devotional

John 14:20

“You will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.“

Are you seeking harmony in your life? Are things discordant and seemingly out of control? Do you start the day anticipating the chaos that will inevitably present itself before the day has ended?

Those of you who know me personally (my regular readers probably know me better than most people), know I try to provide hope and life in a dismal world.

In John 14:2 we find real hope for the believer: “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” Look it up and read it for a real lift for your soul.

Harmony is not the result of taking a course on organization, although that might benefit many of us. It is not in walking around with signs instructing you to “Don’t worry! Be happy!” Some grouch may lock you up for that.

Harmony is a recognition that there is an order to the universe which is not dependent upon the day-to-day circumstances. It is in being IN Christ Jesus. He confirms that He is in His Father. As we are in Him, He promises to be in us! That is the true essence of LIVING IN CHRIST!

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

Find strength day and night.
Hearts that trust in Him,
Walk in His guiding light.

Into our night.

And gave us life.
Hope is here,
Hope is real.
In His mercy,
We are healed.

A gift of life.
