Friendships ...

Two pieces of iron must work together to be used effectively and sharper. If they are not, it becomes dull and useless. That is what a friend and we build a community of friends. Each friend sharpening one another. A true friend will tell you the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts, but a true friend will help along the way. It is about sharpening each other and growing in the Lord together. 

Be careful as to whom you call a friend. Are they drawing you close to the Lord and helping you or are they drawing you close the world and sin? A faithful and true friend will help you grow closer to the Lord. Thank The Lord for those true faithful friends.

2 Corinthians 6:14 ... Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Proverbs 27:9 ... Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. ❤

A Personal Note About The Holy Week

The Holy Week is my favorite time of the year. We celebrate The Victorious Finished Work of Christ at the Cross for Our Sins, His burial, and His Magnificent Resurrection. I'm so thankful for what He did at the cross for us. He died for our sins. I was yet a sinner, a wretched sinner, and He died on the Cross for me. Not just for me, but for you as well. He died that we may live. Our Lord Jesus Christ was not just any man. He was, is and ever will be The Son of God. 

God Himself left the glories of Heaven to fulfill God the Father's redemptive plan to bring mankind back to Himself. His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, became a human being. He was without sin but died for our sins. Thank You Lord. There are not enough words to describe the feeling that I have when I talk about the Finished Work of Christ at the cross, His burial and resurrection. I can never say enough as to what Christ did for me. 

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is the Gospel by which we are saved. His Finished Work at the Cross brings salvation the sinner, but also brings victory to the believer as He sanctifies us as we put our faith in His Finished work at the Cross as this gives The Holy Spirit latitude to work in our lives. As He died and was Resurrected, we also died and are resurrected spiritually. That same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us. We can now live The Resurrected Life! Praise God! 

God Bless you all!

1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ... Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;  By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.   For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;  And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: ❤
