Hello my friends in Christ Jesus and happy new year to you all! I wanted to start off the new year with a simple short blog of encouragement, and to also share my appreciation for many of you who have been praying for me and helped support this ministry. As a new year begins, let us not hold on to past downfalls or shortcomings but press on in Christ Jesus, cast our cares upon the Lord, trust the Lord, and keep on keeping on towards the goal and upon the call of God in Christ Jesus! Remember to be "Bereans" to examine the Scriptures whether you are listening to your pastor, someone on the radio, checking out a video from YouTube, or some dude writing a blog to encourage you in the new year! Lord bless you all and may you continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus.
"7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; 11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (PHIL.3:7-14)
