Music To God's Ears

 

James 1:22

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

On Sunday mornings our recent messages

have been from the Book of James.

What a wonderful book full of wise counsel!

(And much to prick every conscience if we care about being more than hearers)

We all have in common the mercy that metes each new day...

and though our callings and circumstances vary...

(some days sweeter, cuter and tastier than others)

...we all are loved and will all give accountant to One God and Father of all.

Ephesians 4:6
One God and Father of all, who is above all, 

and through all, and in you all.

Not hearers only, Lord

Let the law of Thy Word

Be more than grace and truth outpoured

But leaves the heart unstirred

As we hear, Lord, I pray

We heed Thy Spirit’s woo

So everything we do and say

Will bring glory to You

Where love abounds until

Our Self is crucified

Content to trust Thy Word and will

With nothing else beside

If we ask, you will give

If we seek, we will find

If we knock You will come to live

In faith’s heart, soul and mind

Then hope and joy and peace

Become reality

As word and deed yield love’s increase

‘Not I, but Christ in Me’

What music to God's ears

When His children obey

Then He, Who Is The Word appears

In what we do and say

What music to a parents 'ears'/eyes, when we see our children take

loving counsel to heart...

 how ever much more our Heavenly Father!

All God's Creatures Have A Place in the Choir

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Worship the Lord with gladness;

come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the Lord is God.

It is he who made us, and we are his[a];

we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving

and his courts with praise;

give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;

his faithfulness continues through all generations.
