2 Samuel 22:1-51; Jeremiah 6:1-30; Ephesians 1:1-14
God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy. Psalm 62:11-12
A 15-year-old boy in Phillipi was hooked on drugs but longing for a better life. He struggled in vain to give them up. Finally, he chained himself to his bed so that when the overpowering craving for drugs came upon him he would not be able to reach them. Sadly he knew no other way. He desperately needed someone to tell him that mercy to forgive his past sin and power to give him a new life were both available in Christ, who not only died to forgive him but rose again to indwell him thus enabling him to break the chains of sin. —David Croudace
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart. —A. Ackley
