Salvation and Meekness
“…receive the implanted word in meekness,
that is able to save your souls”
James 1:21
The true salvation of God is realized as an individual receives Christ Himself. Mere confessions of belief, formulas and the doctrines of men, have clouded the mystery and wonder of God’s gracious gift.
In our receiving the IMPLANTED Word in the spirit of meekness, we begin the journey into the full salvation God has purposed. Only Christ can free the heart from its misery and emptiness. There is salvation in no other. Meekness is the temper of the heart that recognizes its need for the grace of God.
Christ for the nations is the only hope for humanity. Political aspirations are as impotent as the human nature by which it seeks to rule.
Power without meekness
is the bane of human history.

is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.”

“As Christ has a Gospel, Satan has a gospel too; the latter being a clever counterfeit of the former. So closely does the gospel of Satan resemble that which it parades, multitudes of the unsaved are deceived by it.”
