Listen to the Truth of this song. Thankful that we have a God who is always on the way to help us. He will not delay. My refuge and strength always. I will not fear his promise is true. My God will come through always.

Oh that this would be true in my life.
I am a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. The die has been cast. The decision has been made. I am a disciple of Jesus. Therefore, I won’t look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present is empowered and my future is secure. I’m done with low living, sight waking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, tame visions, mundane talking, cheap giving and dwarfed goals. I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotions, praise or popularity. I don’t have to win, be first, be right, recognized, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, love with patience, live by prayer and labor with power. My goal is God’s glory, my face is set, my pace is fast, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable and my mission is clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won’t give up, shut up, let up or slow up until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know and work till He stops me. Christ has qualified me to become a part of the Fellowship of the Unashamed. I am His and He is mine.
The first thing to remember is that we must never separate the benefits (regeneration, justification, sanctification) from the Benefactor (Jesus Christ). The Christians who are most focused on their own spirituality may give the impression of being the most spiritual but from the New Testament’s point of view, those who have almost forgotten about their own spirituality because their focus is so exclusively on their union with Jesus Christ and what He has accomplished are those who are growing and exhibiting fruitfulness. Historically speaking, whenever the piety of a particular group is focused on OUR spirituality, that piety will eventually exhaust itself on its own resources. Only where our piety forgets about us and focuses on Jesus Christ will our piety be nourished by the ongoing resources the Spirit brings to us from the source of all true piety, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Your Love Never Fails -Chris Quilala / Jesus Culture (by jesusculture)
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There maybe pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don’t have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Spurgeon, This Morning’s Meditation, “And the glory which Thou gavest me I have given them.”—John 17:22
‘Make Up Your Mind’ (acoustic/live version) - Nathan Angelo w. Drew Amerson on guitar
Good morning, folks! I hope everyone’s week is off to a fabulous start. For this Tuesday Treat, I thought I’d share an acoustic/live recording of ‘Make Up Your Mind’ from my show at Eddie’s Attic in Atlanta back in December. I haven’t played too many acoustic shows recently. So when I get the chance to strip it back, I have been really enjoying it. Perhaps, I’ll put together an acoustic tour not too far down the line. Just me and these ol’ keys. ha
Enjoy!
