Welcome! My name is Richard 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.

The went out from us

 They Went Out From Us

By Richard Templin Hancock

Our Bible reading is from: 1 John 2:19  They went out from us, but they didn’t belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have continued with us. But they left, that they might be revealed that none of them belong to us.

I have been thinking recently of how easy it is for one to depart from the Gospel message of Jesus and his Apostles if one does not make the teaching of Jesus the center piece of their life. 

I remember what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30  “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Now my goal is to have faith in Jesus alone and follow Jesus alone. 

My prayer today is: God please help us to avoid the pitfalls of false religions, even false national religions, and keep our eyes on Jesus, His word is good enough for us. Amen.
