All Things
Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
Matthew 19:26 “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 17:18-21 “And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
The GraceWay Baptist Church theme for 2024 is With God, with its Biblical origin stemming from Matthew 19:26. My blog posts for the next several months will be focused on this theme and its applicability to our lives, our families, our churches, and our nation. Thanks for following along.
Our next presidential inauguration is less than 11 months away. Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, you are rightfully concerned. Pessimism is at an all-time high and trust in our fundamental institutions is at an all-time low. Our citizens are having severe problems even envisioning the once-ubiquitous promise of the American Dream.We struggle to imagine a brighter future and we labor to conceptualize a nationwide revival.
Yet, a never-changing God is still on the throne. Throughout history He has seen His people ready to throw in the towel and give up hope. Yet, when things are gloomiest He seeks those whose faith can transcend their circumstances. That is what He is looking for from us today.
With God, nothing is impossible. As a result, through and with Him, all things are possible. The Lord is looking for a critical mass of pure faith to move the mountains that are standing in the way of our temporal and eternal success. That is what we need in 2024! Fortunately, we have a God who can do all things!
