To Those in Christ!









To Those in Christ!

God called us to be active and experienced 
Defenders in the Faith, 
Warriors forgiven by His Grace. 
Reach within and take responsibility of all sins then, 
And do not point to others to either place or pass the blame onto another, 
Own your sin, call sin, sin! 
Embrace the reality that everyday you are in a struggle with sin. 
Build today and every day within, from His Holy Word, all knowledge of Him. 
Pray to become more like the one we serve, 
The King of kings and the Lord of lords, 
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, 
And less like the life we desire, 
Built of and from the world of self. 
Put on the Armor of God, 
Be strong and stand firm in the struggle against sin within, 
For the battle through and in Christ we will win in Him. 
Pray continuously for others and encourage one another. 
Be alert, be aware, be truthful, 
And leave the past behind. 
Face the Cross and leave all to walk in the Spirit, 
And forget what was, 
For Christ's shed blood covered all sins for all forgiven. 
Then by faith and belief in Him, and true repentance from within, forgotten forever. 
Run the race in faithfulness to endure, 
And in belief persevere to complete to win, 
For the Crown of Glory, the prize, awaits beyond Heavens Gates, 
At God's Table of Grace, that day all look upon the Savior's Face. 
Our victory over sin the price in love Christ paid that day, 
Upon the Cross of Calvary, for you and me. 
Allow the faith within built by the belief in Him 
To shine forth to share your life to help and encourage others. 
To Christ be the Glory and the Honor and the Power forever, Amen!. 

Lord, in faith, Your destination makes the journey of life meaningful, 
Build me today and every day to complete that journey in You,
