Power in the Blood!

NOTHING BUT THE BLOOD!

Act 17:28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

On this wonderful January day of the year 2020, I am thinking about the church of today where hymns and choruses are seen on overhead screens by present day technology. Today hymn books are hardly used anymore and the good old blood sacrifice of Christ hymns for our sins are all about forgotten. I penned a writing a few years ago on this subject and I share them now.
Some folks seem to be offended by singing about the blood and want hymns that sing about the blood of Christ removed. Hymns like, ” Redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb”; There is power in the blood”; ” Alas! And did my Savior bleed”; ” Saved by the blood of the Crucified One”; ” When I see the blood”; ” My faith has found a resting place”, and many others. Dear folk, if we remove the blood, we remove the gospel; If we remove the blood, we remove our hope; If we remove the blood, we remove the Savior. We remove His love, His grace and His salvation. Without the shedding of the blood of Jesus, we have no hope of salvation and no hope of Heaven. With out the shedding of the blood of Jesus we have no remission of sins and no hope for mankind. Jesus said, ” I am the way, the truth and the life, and no man cometh to the Father but by me.” The shedding of the blood of Jesus purchased our ticket to Heaven! ~ Winston Staples

Surrounded by Angels

SURROUNDED BY ANGELS As sometimes we feel alone Remember we are surrounded by angels, like those around God’s throne. When we feel helpless, We are surrounded by angels, God has sent to bless. When we need a message from a gospel tune, We are surrounded by angels in our room, and when we need encouragement remember, we are surrounded by angels, Glorious Angels God has sent. Yes, when we feel gloom, Don’t forget, We are surrounded by angels, surrounded by angels in our room. ~WINSTON STAPLES

Today's Psalm!

Psalm 5 King James Version 5  Give ear to my words, O  Lord , consider my meditation. 2  Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3  My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O  Lord ; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 4  For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5  The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6  Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the  Lord  will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. 7  But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. 8  Lead me, O  Lord , in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 9  For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; the...

Mind Walking!

 I went for a walk today, in my mind you might say, to a quiet place I used to go, out back,  where the red pine trees grow. I sat by the babbling brook, flowing from the beaver dam, meditating on God's words, thanking Him and praising Him, for creating me the way I am. One whom He died for, on the cross at Calvary, and arise the third day, so yours and my soul, could be set free. ~Winston Staples
