Resources For Christians

Several years ago, Missionary David Grant visited my church and told us about the human trafficking that is abounding in India.  I was overwhelmed with sorrow and even now, I feel sick to my stomach as I think about what he said.

Meditations for a Month on John 15:1-16

I have felt drawn to try to write what young Christians might easily apprehend, as a help to them to take up that position in which the Christian life must be a success. It is as if there is not one of the principal temptations and failures of the Christian life that is not met here. The nearness, the all-sufficiency, the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus, the naturalness, the fruitfulness of a life of faith, are so revealed, that it is as if one could with confidence say, Let the parable enter into the heart, and all will be right. May the blessed Lord give the blessing. May He teach us to study the mystery of the Vine in the spirit of worship, waiting for God’s own teaching.

Job 7:17 - "What is man that you make so much of him, that you give him so much attention,
 
Psalms 42:8 - By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me--a prayer to the God of my life.
 
Psalms 47:4 - He chose our inheritance for us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved. Selah 
 
Psalms 63:3 - Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
 
Psalms 78:61-62 - He sent [the ark of] his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy.  He gave his people over to the sword; he was very angry with his inheritance.
 

Romans 6

1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.

5 If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection.

6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--

7 because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 4:23-24
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.

Matt 8:2-3
2 A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”  ³Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.
