Thank you, for your
prayers over Diane and me on our journey to North
Carolina, we had a good time with the family.
The lord has been
good to us, and this church. Grace Be unto You
Church is just one of god’s instruments to reach out
into the community, we do community work. The
leader of this church is given an assignment to
teach others; the simple standard. The A.B.C.'s of
the gospel. Have you ever heard Christians say, god
has been dealing with me---because he has been
taking steps to bring me into something more of
himself? Or god is teaching me a deeper lesson of
himself. The problem with that kind of thinking
really goes against the gospel. The gospel is very
simple. (The blood of Christ and the cross) these
are just 2 things we need to understand. The blood
deals with what we have done; the cross deals with
what we are. The blood disposes of our sins and the
cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin.
If you really want to get deep into teaching, then I
ask you this question, what was the value of the
blood of Christ to god? And what is the value of
Christ blood to you? How do you estimate the blood
value of Jesus Christ? We know there is life in the
blood, but what does that mean to you, and if it
means something to you, than how do you apply the
value of Christ blood to your life? Let look at
Romans 5:8, 9 Jesus loves us, with his love - he
died for us; by his blood shall we be saved.
How deep do you need
to go?
Some people say they need more meat of the word,
well the blood of Jesus never changes, it never
loses its power, no matter how deep you get,
“being justified freely by his
grace through redemption never changes”.
The problem with many
of us is that we have moved away from the A.B.C.’s
of the gospel and in search of enlightenment, or
another Jesus. Jesus never changes, it is not about
your attainment or how deep you can get, “NO” it’s
about the finished work of the lord Jesus in the
shedding of his blood, what he did for us does not
change. Our approach to god is by the blood, and
every time we come before him it’s always the same.
The blood deals with what we have done - the cross
with what we are - the blood for forgiveness - the
cross for deliverance.
This is teaching,
learn of him.
Love You
Pastor Bill
