COME TO JESUS — He Is Calling You Home

Have you ever felt too broken, too guilty, or too far away from God?

This new song from JGG Worship Music is a reminder that Jesus has not forgotten you. His arms are still open wide. His grace is greater than your past, and His love reaches you even in your darkest moments.

“Come to Jesus” is a Christian worship song about forgiveness, healing, repentance, and coming home to Christ.

If you have wandered, come home.
If you are hurting, come to Jesus.
If you feel unforgiven, remember His grace.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

May this song encourage someone today to lay down their burdens, surrender to Jesus, and take His hand.

Listen, worship, and share it with someone who needs this message.

Jesus is reaching out… Just take His hand. You are forgiven. Come home.

wait on God
Waiting on the Lord is not wasted time; it is preparation time.

When you feel stuck in a season of waiting, it can be easy to lose heart. However, biblical waiting is an active, hopeful pause that builds your spiritual endurance..

Why Waiting on the Lord Matters :It shifts your focus: It moves your eyes from your problems to God's power.

It renews your strength: Like an eagle resting before flight, waiting restores your energy.

It aligns your timing: God sees the whole map; He moves when the time is exactly right..


It protects you: Sometimes a "wait" is actually God shielding you from an unseen danger

.A Prayer for the Waiting Season

Dear God,Some days, this waiting feels heavy and long. My heart feels anxious, and I want to rush ahead.

Please help me to rest in Your perfect timing today.Give me the strength to stay patient.

Fill my mind with peace when doubt creeps in. I choose to believe that Your plans for me are good, even when I cannot see the next step.

Strengthen my heart right now.
Remind me that You are working behind the scenes.In Jesus' name, Amen.

Monday Encouragement — Our Sovereign God Still Reigns

Blessings, dear brothers and sisters in Christ.

As we begin another week, the condition of our world has not suddenly changed. Wars and rumors of wars continue, nations struggle with uncertainty, economies create anxiety, and political leaders offer countless plans and promises for solving the problems confronting humanity.

Yet as followers of Jesus Christ, we must continually remind ourselves of one unchanging truth:

Our sovereign God is still upon His throne.

Our hope must never rest upon presidents, prime ministers, governments, political parties, military strength, or human wisdom. God may certainly use leaders and nations to accomplish His purposes, but Scripture reminds us that ultimately He alone rules over the affairs of mankind.

“For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the governor among the nations.” — Psalm 22:28

Therefore, we should not allow every headline or political development to control our peace. Instead, Scripture commands us to pray for those in authority. We pray that God will grant them wisdom, restrain evil, protect the innocent, and accomplish His sovereign purposes through them—even when they themselves may not recognize His hand.

“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority…” — 1 Timothy 2:1–2

There is an important difference between being informed about the world and being consumed by it.

We should care deeply about suffering, injustice, war, poverty, and the difficulties facing our neighbors. But we must never carry these burdens as though the future depended entirely upon human beings.

Instead, take them to the throne of grace.

Pray for our nation.

Pray for the nations of the world.

Pray for those in authority.

Pray for peace.

Pray for the persecuted Church.

Pray that doors will continue opening for the Gospel.

And above all, pray that men and women everywhere will repent of their sins and turn to Jesus Christ.

Whatever happens this week, remember: God has not surrendered His authority. Christ is still Lord. His Word remains true. His purposes cannot be defeated.

Let us therefore begin this week not with fear, but with prayer; not trusting in human power, but resting confidently in our sovereign God.

“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” — Psalm 46:10

May the Lord keep our eyes fixed upon Christ and make us faithful witnesses of His Gospel in an anxious and troubled world.

Serving Christ Together for His Glory Alone.

Soli Deo Gloria.

NO REHAB. JUST GOD.

I fell to my knees and asked God to take the desire away from me. I was tired of being chained to something that was destroying my life.

And then something happened that I will NEVER stop telling people about…

The next day, the desire was GONE.

No rehab.
No program.
No explanation I can give other than GOD.

That is MY testimony.

I know recovery looks different for everyone, and there is absolutely no shame in getting professional help, treatment, counseling, or going to rehab. But this is how God moved in my life—and I refuse to stay quiet about it.

What had me bound LOST ITS GRIP.
What I couldn't break, GOD BROKE.
And I will spend the rest of my life telling people what He did for me.

If God changed your life too, tell somebody. Your testimony could be the hope someone needs today.

Psalm 37:1-9
Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. [2] For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. [3] Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. [4] Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. [5] Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass. [6] He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. [7] Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. [8] Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret-it only causes harm. [9] For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the LORD, They shall inherit the earth.

THE ADVENT TRUTH
The debate over Junia has become one of the most common arguments used to justify women serving as pastors. But before anyone builds an entire doctrine on Romans 16:7, we should slow down and ask: What does the text actually say?

First, we don’t even know with absolute certainty that Junia was female. The earliest Greek manuscripts were written in all capital letters without accent marks. Those manuscripts do not distinguish between the feminine Junia and the masculine Junias. The accents that identify the name as feminine were added centuries later. Many scholars believe the name is feminine, while others argue it could be masculine. The point is simple: the evidence isn’t so clear that this verse should overturn the broader testimony of Scripture.

Second, even if Junia was a woman, Romans 16:7 still does not prove she held the office of pastor or elder. The Greek phrase can legitimately be translated either as “well known to the apostles” or “outstanding among the apostles.” Both renderings have scholarly support.

Third, the word apostolos simply means “one who is sent.” In the New Testament it is used in more than one way. Jesus is called an Apostle (Hebrews 3:1). The Twelve were apostles. Paul was an apostle. Barnabas is called an apostle (Acts 14:14), and Epaphroditus is literally called “your apostle” in Philippians 2:25 (though many English versions translate it “messenger”). The word does not always refer to the governing office established by Christ.

Finally, Romans 16 never calls her an elder, overseer, bishop, or pastor. When Scripture specifically gives the qualifications for those offices in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1, it lays out a consistent pattern.

A single debated name, a debated translation, and a debated use of the word “apostle” are not enough to overturn the clear pattern of Scripture. Sound doctrine is built by harmonizing all the evidence—not by allowing one difficult verse to reinterpret the rest of the Bible.

Personal Message — Stepping Away for a Few Days.

Taking a short break from Lordsbook to rest, reset, and refocus.

I’ll be stepping away for a few days and will be back sometime next weekend.

Stay blessed, stay encouraged, and keep shining your light.

Psalm 115:13

“He will bless those who fear the Lord—both small and great.”


— Psalm 115:13

God’s blessings are not limited by our age, position, or status. Whether we feel small or great in the eyes of people, God sees every heart that honours Him. When we fear the Lord, trust Him, and walk in His ways, we can rest in the promise that His blessing is upon us and our families. Stay faithful, because God does not overlook those who honour Him.

TODAY'S BIBLE READING
Monday, August 17
OLD TESTAMENT
JUDGES 18 — The Danites and Micah's Idol
NEW TESTAMENT
2 PETER 2 — Warning Against False Teachers
MAJOR PROPHETS
ISAIAH 28 — The Cornerstone of Zion
Today's Reflection
Judges 18
The Danites take Micah's idols and establish their own form of worship. The chapter shows the danger of spiritual compromise and reminds us that God's people must not replace His truth with what simply seems right in their own eyes.
2 Peter 2
Peter gives a strong warning about false teachers who distort the truth and lead others into sin. Believers are called to remain grounded in God's Word, recognize deception, and pursue holy living.
Isaiah 28
Isaiah confronts the pride and false security of Israel's leaders, but also points to God's sure foundation: the precious cornerstone laid by God in Zion. Our confidence should rest on God's truth rather than human wisdom or temporary security.
KEY VERSE
"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation."
— Isaiah 28:16
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, establish our lives firmly upon Your truth. Give us discernment to recognize false teaching and the courage to reject anything that draws us away from You. Keep us humble, faithful, and rooted in Christ, our sure foundation. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.
WE STUDY. WE PRAY. WE OBEY. WE GROW. UNTIL WE ARE TOTALLY TRANSFORMED.
TODAY'S CHALLENGE
Check your foundation today. Let God's Word—not popular opinion, feelings, or human wisdom—guide your decisions, beliefs, and actions.

Dear God, thank You for bringing me through another day. As I get ready to rest tonight, I’m being honest with You about something I’ve realized. I’ve spent so much time asking You to fix my finances, my relationships, and my health, but I haven’t always hungered for You just because You’re You. Your word in 1 Peter 2:9 says, “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people.” God, tonight I just want Your presence, not Your fixing, not Your provision, just You. Help me build a relentless hunger to know You more, not because of what You can do for me, but because of who You are. I give this night completely to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple. -Psalm 27:4
