The God Who Saves Us
Romans 5.1-5
Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis
The work of salvation was trinitarian; through the purpose and plan of the Father, through the incarnation, death and resurrection of the Savior, and through the indwelling and transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Our triune God is both the Author and Actor of the greatest Story ever told, a story that still awaits its climax and end at the second coming of Christ.

Everyone of any epoch or place that comes to Christ through the word of the Spirit is in fact a child of God.

Now, through faith, we are children and heirs of God in Christ.

In a vision of the night that appeared to the apostle Paul, our God called the apostolic band to Macedonia, by virtue of a man of Macedonia standing and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us." God continues to call his messengers to go to places where the love of God still needs to be heard.

Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God
Psalm 51.1-17
Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis
You cannot add the Lord Jesus to your life while refusing to subtract pride and foolishness.
You cannot gain in spiritual vitality without losing selfish preoccupation.
You cannot multiply blessing and joy while living in division and hatred.
Only as you yield more and more to him, and less to self,
Can you really grab whole of the full measure of your role in his great plan.

"How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation."

Contending for the Truth

Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis — 16 Nov 2009 23:59:53 GMT

Contending for the Truth
3 John and Jude
As those walking in love and in truth, we offer our spiritual leaders no greater joy than to walk in the truth, in the grace and love in Jesus Christ. "The faith" that has once for all been delivered to the saints by the apostles has been entrusted to us to affirm, to defend, and to contend for. This is our stewardship, a faith that we, God's saints, must strive to know and declare. It consists of the body of truths concerning Jesus Christ delivered in true testimony to the Church by the apostles. Let us earnestly defend and withstand every instance where misled and ungodly people may seek to undermine or deny. As we draw this Season after Pentecost to a close, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess, and defend the truth once for all delivered to the Church.

2 John
The commandment from the beginning given to us is to walk in the truth, in love, and according to the commandments of the Lord. We need never fear, for his commandments are not burdensome; through the Spirit, we have both the power and grace to keep God's will and bring glory to his name as his own elect children. As the Season after Pentecost ends, let us recall God's simple yet transforming commandment of love, and honor God as we care for others with the care of the Lord.

The Assurance of Never-Ending Life

27 Oct 2009 00:09:49 GMT

1 John 5.13-21
Only through faith in the Father's testimony regarding his Son can anyone receive the never-ending life promised to us. This life-never-ending days of love, joy, and peace in God in a new heavens and a new earth-is rooted in our knowledge of God and his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. As we draw near to the end of this, the longest season of the Church Year, let us walk with joy on the straight and narrow Way given to us by God. Only in Christ can life be received; only in the Father can we know real peace. Glory to God for his unspeakable and amazing gift of never-ending life in Christ.

Life Is in His Son

19 Oct 2009 22:24:21 GMT

1 John 5.6-12
The life that we enjoy and the hope that we cling to are rooted in a simple faith in Jesus Christ-the same faith that overcomes the world is the same faith that has been testified to by the Father, John the Baptist, the prophets and the Scripture, the apostles, the water and the blood, the Holy Spirit, and the works of Christ. God himself has taken the stand and offered his own testimony: he has given us eternal life and this life is in his Son. During this Season after Pentecost, we ought to remind ourselves daily that the love of the Father allowed him to send his Son, who alone is the source of our life, our forgiveness, and our hope. Let's embrace the testimony of God!

Overcoming the World

1 John 5.1-5
Our faith in Jesus Christ has caused us to triumph over the devil and the powers; we have now overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil through our confidence and trust in the work of Jesus on the Cross. The victory is not based on who we are or what we have done, but rather our faith in God’s finished work in Christ. During this Season after Pentecost, let us remain steadfast and stable in our confession of the victory won for us through the blood of Jesus Christ, a victory which has made us overcomers of the world, the flesh and the devil.

God Is Love

6 Oct 2009 17:43:19 GMT

1 John 4.1-21
Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis
We are called to live and thrive in an atmosphere of love and affection, of care and giving, of hospitality and generosity, for we have been born of the Father, who is love. Love is not defined by our loving God, but in his matchless gift of our Lord for our redemption to be our atoning sacrifice. The true test of discipleship and the new birth is love: genuine, true, humble, real. During this Season after Pentecost, as we affirm the soon return of Christ, let’s affirm that we were born from and born to love, moved by the example of Christ and the power of the Spirit. This is how we prove we truly know and are born from God.
