Marsha and I had a great time yesterday riding with some friends from Knox Off Road at Windrock. The first picture was taken along the trail. The other three are from a beautiful cabin in the woods that we are asking the Lord to sell so we can move to Saint Augustine. Jesus has people to save all over this world. He has and will complete the task and it is even more amazing that He works through those He has already justified to accomplish the task. This task is so great that thankfully He hasnt left it up to Billy Graham or other famous people to get it done. He uses all of us as we go about our daily tasks. The opportunity for us in Saint Augustine incorporates all the gifts and implementations we have used in the past including Bible clubs, street and door to door evangelism, prison ministry and many other opportunities. If the Lord is willing and provides I would like for all of us to do it full time from the get go. However we are looking for work both secular and through churches to get started. Humanly speaking Ive set a goal of being there by May 1st. Hat would get my current employer through the winter season and give us time to prepare while working full time and finishing up the school year. However nothing is too hard for the Lord and Im asking that it would be ASAP if that would glorify Him. In the meantime we seek to obey Him daily and not miss the opportunities He brings daily and we ask the same for those of you who know Him and continue to pray for those of you who do not yet believe. From Every Sin He shall save His people from their sins. - Matthew 1:21 Lord, save me from my sins. By the name of Jesus I am encouraged thus to pray. Save me from my past sins, that the habit of them may not hold me captive. Save me from my constitutional sins, that I may not be the slave of my own weaknesses. Save me from the sins which are continually under my eye that I may not lose my horror of them. Save me from secret sins; sins unperceived by me from my want of light. Save me from sudden and surprising sins: let me not be carried off my feet by a rush of temptation. Save me, Lord, from every sin. Let not any iniquity have dominion over me. Thou alone canst do this. I cannot snap my own chains or slay my own enemies. Thou knowest temptation, for Thou wast tempted. Thou knowest sin, for Thou didst bear the weight of it. Thou knowest how to succor me in my hour of conflict; Thou canst save me from sinning and save me when I have sinned. It is promised in Thy very name that Thou wilt do this, and I pray Thee let me this day verify the prophecy. Let me not give way to temper, or pride, or despondency, or any form of evil; but do Thou save me unto holiness of life, that the name of Jesus may be glorified in me abundantly. Charles Haddon Spurgeon His glory is great in Your salvation; Honor and majesty You have placed upon him. For You have made him most blessed forever; You have made him exceedingly glad with Your presence. My soul! it is the most delightful of all thoughts, when at the time thou art solacing thyself in the glories of thy Redeemer, to call to mind that God the Father is glorified, while thou art made happy in the salvation thy Jesus hath accomplished by His blood and righteousness. It is indeed God the Father which called Jesus to the office and character of the Redeemer, and furnished Him with all suitable requisites for the vast work He called Him to do. But the glory and honour of Jehovah were the first and great object of the Redeemer’s work; and hence Jesus, in the days of His flesh, never speaks of His own glory, but as in connection with, and leading to, the glory of Jehovah. “Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him! Father! glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee.” Hence therefore, when Jehovah laid honour and majesty on the blessed Jesus, and made Him most blessed for ever, all these things were to the Father’s honour and glory: and never was God the Father’s glory more great than in and by the salvation of His dear Son Christ Jesus. See, my soul! I charge it upon thee, that thou never lose sight of this precious view of God thy Father’s glory, in thy redemption by thy adorable Redeemer. Say, continually, and dwell with rapture on the blessed subject: “My God, my Father in Christ Jesus, is glorified, yea, greatly glorified in His dear Son, in that He hath wrought out such a salvation as brings more glory to God the Father than all the works of His creation; and it is to the honour and glory of Jehovah, that poor sinners should be saved in this blessed way of His own appointing. And shall I not then come to Him in and through Jesus? Shall I not delight to tell my God and Father how great His glory is in the salvation by Jesus? Shall I not bless and glorify my God and Father in being the Author and Giver of such great salvation? Yea, most blessed God and Father! I do bless Thee, I do praise Thee, I desire to love Thee, in and through Jesus. And while my whole soul is going out in enjoyments on the person, and work, and offices, and relations of Jesus, always would I keep in view, and connect with it, in the enjoyment, that it is Thou, most gracious and almighty Father, that hast made Him most blessed for ever. Surely then, Thy glory is great in His salvation! And the glory of the Son of God is great in Thy salvation! Robert Hawker
