Christian - forgiven - grateful

Welcome! My name is Richard Templin Hancock and I am a senior citizen who has found great peace in his old age in the forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers to sinners. I enjoy reading my Bible and recording short Devotional podcasts with the aim to encourage us all to have faith in God and follow His Son Jesus Christ every day.
I hope the following blog posts will be an encouragement to you:

The Son of Man, His Angels, and judgment

 Here are some Bible verses that speak about the Son of Man, His angels, and judgment:

Matthew 16:27 states, "For the Son of Man will come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done."

Matthew 10:33 says, "Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven."

Luke 9:26 explains, "Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."

Luke 12:9 also notes, "But the one who denies me in the presence of others will be denied in the presence of the angels of God."

Matthew 13:41 mentions, "The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will take out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil."

And Matthew 13:49 concludes, "This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous."

Let's encourage one another to be prepared for the return of Jesus. Let's be busy doing His Gospel business, living our lives according to His teachings, and spreading His love and message wherever we go. Let's also pray for each other and support one another in our faith journey.

Power Preachers

Colossians 3:16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

I think real power Gospel Preachers are those who preach the words of Jesus. I cannot think of any message that has more power and effect than the message Jesus brought to mankind. 

My prayer is: Lord, help us to stay true to you and your message. Let the words that came from your mouth be our daily food. Let us proclaim to others your messge and glorify you as we wait for your return. Amen.

Your praise pleases the Lord

I was thinking about how praising God pleases God. Consider the following Bible verses on this theme:

Psalms 69:30-31: "I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs."

Psalms 50:13-14: "Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High."

Psalms 50:23: "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God."

Hebrews 13:15: "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name."

1 Peter 2:5: "Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."

I hope these Bible verses bless you to praise God more and more!

Perfect peace

Isaiah 26:3

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

God is the author of peace: Isaiah 57:19
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.

The peace of God guards you: Philippians 4:6,7
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

Jesus gives you peace: John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

A personal relationship with Jesus brings peace: John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Be encouraged, and find peace as you draw near to your God.
