Words To Live By..... Grace For Daily Living (2). 

GRACE that teaches us how to live (Titus 2:12).......

The Law of Sin and Death

To die from anything is to cease to have any relations to it so that it has no claim or control over you.

The law condemns me to death but Christ became a substitute and died for me. The sentence of death was executed on me in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. I died with Christ. Once the law executed the death penalty it has no more jurisdiction over the one who was executed, for the law has dominion over a man only as long as he lives (Romans 7:1) Having died with Christ, I live…

Haggai 2:7-9

God has promised to restore His church to a greater glory. “I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.” It is only when the church is restored to His presence, word and will that it can possess the promised latter-day glory. Restoration to the latter-day glory is neither the idea of a prophet nor the opinion of a man – it is the word of God. And…

Think On These Things

Good days give you happiness, Bad days give you experiences and both are essential to life. A happy and meaningful life requires your continuous input and creativity. This is not merely by chance, but by choice. Your choices and actions will shape your day, for each day you are given new opportunities to choose and act, and in doing so, you will create your own unique journey.
