He toured on and off for a few years, and is looking forward to hitting the road again once the pandemic is over. Bretton Lee can be found on both Facebook and YouTube.

We tend to forget the magnitude of God’s work in our lives. But we rarely forget about our cares in this world. It’s hard for us to go a single day without considering how we might satisfy our fleshly desires. Why? Because we love this world. John writes, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever” (1 Jn. 2:15-17 ESV). Cross We can enjoy our lives in Words this world without being tied Isaiah to this world. In other words, Pauley there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a good meal, embracing someone you love, or welcoming the cool, crisp Fall air! God has given us life to enjoy. But the things of this world cannot truly satisfy our deepest cravings. The real source of our joy comes from Christ alone. Sometimes I wonder if one day—like a million years from now—I’ll reflect on my short life lived in this world. If I’m going to dwell in the presence of Christ for eternity, why cling so tightly to this life? Even still, I worry and fret each day about the things I can’t control. I try to find my security in the things of this world rather than the gospel. And I neglect to trust in God as I should. I don’t know about you, but I often need to be reminded of just how good and satisfying Jesus Christ is. I need to be reminded of God’s sovereignty and care. If He can provide for birds, then surely He can provide for me (see Mt. 6:26). If Peter’s audience can “rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory” (1 Pt. 1:8), then so can I. And so can you. I encourage you to take a moment to thank God for your salvation. And do it often. Make a practice of showing that thanksgiving in and through your life. This world is passing away. But in Christ, we live eternally. “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving” (Col. 2:6-7 ESV). I’m reminded of a well-known hymn by Edward Mote called “The Solid Rock.” He writes, “My hope is built on nothing less / Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; / I dare not trust the sweetest frame, / But wholly lean on Jesus’ name. / On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; / All other ground is sinking sand, / All other ground is sinking sand.” Since your salvation is sure, you can be joyful in Christ rather than getting caughtup in the things of this world. do not want to think in primary It was a good night recently terms of being fish bait.

Colossians 3:23-24 from the Living Bible says, “Work hard and cheerfully at all you do, just as though you were working for the Lord and not merely for your boss, remembering that it is the Lord Christ who is going to pay you, giving you your full portion of all He owns. He is the one you are really working for.” Let’s say a prayer together. Dear Lord, thank You for all the work that You have done to make this earth and us good. Let us continue Your good works to make it a place where we all can live in safety and peace, so everyone has enough food, water, houses, and medicine. Bless us as we work every day to make this happen. In Your holy name we pray, Amen.

It involves nothing less than that. Very few live it. Most do not. Apostle Paul clarified it when he wrote, “What ever you do, do all for the glory of God.” Furthermore, “Unto Him be glory in the Church.” We are supposed to be “filled with the fruits of righteousness unto the glory and praise of God.” I the Church correctly understands and embraces this spiritual ideal, then the life we live has an extreme value placed on it that super-cedes any other value in life we may want to have. This being altogether true, we are confronted with the question: how shall we bring God honor and glory? The Biblical principles of it loom directly before us. It involves specifically living the tenets of changed life in Jesus Christ. We should live out in obedient fashion the basics of the Gospel verified by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is fundamentally central to what is the Gospel due to its proving the regenerative work of God. If we do not live out the expectations of changed life in Christ that brings God honor and glory, then we just become a type of fish bait dangling on the hooks of worldly affairs. “How do you keep from being caught for fish bait?” Slim asked. “Do not look long at the light.

WVU, Herd, Ohio open 2021 campaigns this weekend CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The University of Rio Grande coughed up an early lead, but held on to record a 1-1 tie with Lourdes University, Wednesday afternoon, in nonconference women’s soccer action at Chillicothe High School’s Herrnstein Field. The RedStorm saw their record go to 0-1-1 as a result of the deadlock. The Gray Wolves were playing in their season opener. Rio Grande grabbed a 1-0 advantage just 20 seconds into the contest when freshman Isabel Ruff (Lancaster, OH) fired a shot from the upper left corner of the 18-yard box — after a touch by fellow frosh Kotomi Kaneshima (Himeji, Japan) — past Lourdes’ goal keeper Lily Yoder. The Gray Wolves netted the equalizer just under 12-1/2 minutes later when Abigail Mann let go of a shot from the left wing, which just eluded the hands of Rio sophomore net-minder Morgen Nutter (Ashville, OH) and found its way into the net. And that’s how things stayed the rest of the way. Lourdes finished with a 13-10 edge in shots overall, although Rio Grande had four of the six shots in the overtime periods — including all three in the second extra session. Both teams had five shots on goal. Yoder did not record a save in her 45 minutes of action for the Gray Wolves. Emmy Rodger had four stops after taking over in goal at halftime. Nutter had four saves for the RedStorm. Rio Grande is scheduled to return to action on Saturday when it hosts the University of Northwestern Ohio for a 5 p.m. kickoff at Evan E. Davis Field. Randy Payton is the Sports Information Director at the University of Rio Grande.

The Thundering Herd begin their post-Doc Holliday era against the Midshipmen of Navy, while the Mountaineers open their third season under Neal Brown in Maryland against the Terrapins. Here’s a brief look at each of the season opening matchups. Syracuse at Ohio The Ohio University football team open its season at 7 p.m. Saturday at Peden Stadium against the Syracuse Orange. The Bobcats are 0-2 all-time against the Orange, with their last meeting taking place in 1921. The Bobcats only played three games in the 2020 season, all in MAC play, going 2-1. Some top returners include senior running back De’Montre Tuggle and senior safety Jarren Hampton. The Bobcats will also be headed by first-year head coach Tim Albin, who has been with the program since 2005. Albin takes over from 16-year head coach Frank Solich, who retired prior to the 2021 season to focus on his health. Marshall at Navy The Marshall Thundering Herd opens their 2021 campaign at 3:30 p.m. Saturday with a road game against the Navy Midshipmen. This will be the first meeting of the two programs. The Herd’s 2020 season started off in a promising way, jetting out to a 7-0 record, including a 17-7 victory against No. 23 Appalachian State, but dropped the last three games of the season, including the Conference USA championship against the UAB Blazers and the Camellia Bowl to the Buffalo Bulls to finish with a 7-3 record. Marshall also rose up to the No. 16 rank in the AP Poll and No. 21 in the College Football Rankings during the 2020 season. Top returners to the Green and White include redshirt freshman quarterback Grant Wells and junior cornerback Steven Gilmore. After the resignation of 11-year head coach Doc Holliday, the Herd will now be led by Charles Huff, who spent the last two football seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Alabama.
