The Son of the Blessed
Sons manifest their fathers. Our passage tells us of One Who is a son. Yes, we believe that Jesus is the Son of God. I would like to think about this Son today.

Have you ever wondered what it is that makes Baptists different than the average Christian denomination? What is the Baptist distinctive which identifies us? I submit unto you that it is the doctrine of baptism. It is fair to ask, "Why do we baptize?"
I submit that when God saves a sinner, that person is changed from the inside-out. If such a change is not evident, the profession of faith is suspect. How can I make such a statement? I believe our text gives me sufficient cause.
Today we think about the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. To many people that sounds absolutely incredible. Yet, for us, though it might seem beyond belief, we hold these things to be true.
It is my objective to motivate you to consider that Jesus will come again, and it might be today. Look for the imminent return of our Lord.
In my Christian experience I have seen many aspects of what we call "revival services." There are varied opinions as to what constitutes a revival. I believe our text will define true revival.
Our text speaks to the nation of Israel and directs them to return to the Lord and how to do that. In like fashion, when the Christian "backslides" from the Lord, there is a plea to return; our text also outlines how that may be done.
May we each have a great awareness of the need of the wicked to come to Christ and that God has chosen to use the righteous to bring the wicked unto Himself. May these verses be a source of encouragement.
Last Wednesday was Valentine's Day. I judge your minds were fixed upon the subject of love. Therefore, it is my objective to address divine love; I wish to speak about the love of Jesus.
We all have to make decisions. Some of them will be life-changing. Not only do we have life's decisions, we also have spiritual decisions. These things cannot be ignored. I challenge every listener, whether an unbeliever or believer, to choose well.
