Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.    (Psalm 103:1-5)

 

Happy Thanksgiving! We have so very much to be thankful for, and a wonderful God and Savior who deserves all our gratitude, thanksgiving, worship, and praise.

Thank God for His endless blessings.

God Bless,

Bro. Johnny

 

This Sunday (Dec. 1st) begins our Lottie Moon month of prayer and giving for international missions.

HBC Update 11-8-24

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. (Romans 13:1-7)

 

Well, the elections are over; some won and some lost. The Lord’s commands are clear concerning a Believer’s attitude toward our elected officials; they are to be respected for the sake of their office.

And God tells us that we can trust in Him to operate behind the scenes to take care of His people.

            So give honor and respect to those to whom it is due, whether you agree with their politics or not.

            And of course that includes your fellow Christians, no matter how they voted.

 

PS: And honor your King, the Lord Jesus Christ, above all others. He is worthy and deserving of all our praise.

To all our Veterans, THANK YOU and God Bless you for your service and sacrifice. We do not take our freedoms lightly, nor your willingness to stand for us.

HBC Update 9-26-24

 

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:35)

 

What makes a Christian? What makes a good testimony of witness to the world? It isn’t the church attendance, giving, or the size of the Bible you carry. It isn’t the T-shirts and bumper stickers and posts on social media. Although these are all good things (except maybe that 20-pound Bible…), Christ says the Christianity that really shines through, that the Holy Spirit can use to point the world to your Savior, is when you treat your fellow believers with love.

Once again, the Law of Love is supreme.

What can you do this week to show the love of Jesus to your brothers and sisters in Christ?

God Bless, ~Bro. Johnny

HBC Update 8-23-24

 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

 

The fruit of the Spirit is a partial list of the Character of Christ. They are aspects of the Lord Jesus, produced in the life of a Believer, by the work of the Holy Spirit.

   Take time to examine yourself and see how you measure up in these vital character traits. Are you more like Jesus in these areas than you used to be? Are you woefully lacking in some?

   The good news is that these characteristics are not yours to try to generate on your own; they are the fruit, the result, of the Lord at work in your heart.

   He wants to work together with you, inside you, to build you up more into the wonderful character of our dear Lord.

   Our job is to daily choose to let Christ be loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, self-controlled… in us.

God Bless, ~Bro. Johnny

Good Friday? The Darkest of Days

GOOD FRIDAY? THE DARKEST OF DAYS
 
Jesus Christ, Son of God, hung from a cross in total darkness so that…
 
…He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. (Hebrews 2:9)
 
Though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. (Hebrews 5:8)
Christ being God, had always known what our redemption would cost Him, but nothing else was equal to the actual experience of becoming sin.
 
And nothing could move more quickly nor spread death more completely than the poison of sin that lay in the dregs of the Cup.
As had happened to the first Adam, so it was happening exponentially to the last Adam.
 
A cold knot of fear writhed in His stomach as shock waves of pain shot through His entire being. His heart labored anew as the rest of His physical strength drained from His muscles. His very brain, awash in sin, was reduced to a shadow of its former self. Every cell of His body weakened and aged.
 
Maintaining physical life suddenly required enormous effort, and His body moaned and groaned as if in endless labor. His bones and joints weakened, His stomach cramped, and His breath grew even more labored. Every fiber of His being began to die.
Suddenly He felt very old.
 
The Lord’s heart and mind fared worse than His body. His heart was broken, and His mind plummeted. What was once filled with purity and innocence was now filled with guilt and shame. His joy, once shining as the sun, was turned to sorrow and despair. His godliness was consumed by vile lust as thoughts He had never experienced raced through His fallen mind. Light that had once flooded His soul was turned to darkness, and unspeakable fear gripped His heart.
 
I am poured out like water, and all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; it has melted within Me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. (Psalm 22:14-15)
 
Worse still was the effect of sin on His Spirit; it died instantly.
 
The separation that is death dropped Him in His spiritual tracks like an amputated limb falls to the ground.
 
The innocence and purity that had been His holiness were anihilated, and the light of His Spirit was snuffed out and replaced with abject darkness. Righteousness that had clothed Him was stripped away, leaving Him naked and ashamed. The freedom He had enjoyed for all His previous eternal existence was snatched away and replaced with the cruel clamping of shackles of sin and chains of condemnation.
 
The image of God that resided in the depths of Christ Jesus was marred beyond recognition, and He lost His divine nature to become a snake of sin.
 
He exchanged beauty for ashes, joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, laughter for sorrow, and hope for despair. The purest, most holy, innocent, noble heart that had ever beaten had now been crushed, abused, tortured, blasphemed, defecated upon, and turned black with our depravity.
 
Still, the worst was yet to come.
 
***
 
Before the beginning of time, for all eternity past, there had existed between the Father and the Son a perfect unity and fellowship.
 
I and My Father are one. (John 10:30)
 
Their mutual love, affection, and harmony of heart were as infinite as any of the other attributes of God.
 
For the Father loves the Son… (John 5:20)
 
…I love the Father… (John 14:31)
 
But the foul thing that Christ had become on the cross had nothing in common with the Holy Father. There was no place for such an abomination at the Father’s side, much less in His heart. This locus of sin would be shunned from the very gaze of Holy God.
 
You are of purer eyes than to behold evil, and cannot look on wickedness… (Habakkuk 1:13)
 
The Son who had been pronounced “beloved” by His Father must now experience the other side of God: Holy wrath.
 
The weight of the glory of God slammed Christ flat against the cross and pinned Him there in ways the nails could never do. Terrified and frozen by the awe and glory of the Infinite, He was unable to do so much as tremble.
 
Tried in Heaven’s Court in an instant, the wickedness that was the sin He had become flooded His fallen heart, engulfing Him in an inky ocean of vileness and filth. His guilt and humiliation were made clear to all, displayed blatantly and vulgarly in the Light of God’s holiness.
 
He heard the verdict and His sentence roll down from the Judge of all.
 
“GUILTY!”
 
“All that has been done to others is now done to You.”
 
“Defiled, wounded, destroyed, broken, without light, without glory, without life, alienated and separated from all that is Holy, afire in excruciating pain and despair, You are now consumed.”
 
In an instant, His Spirit was stripped of everything. All was taken, torn away, burned off until He was reduced to nothing but a pathetic lump of sin and shame, writhing in pain.
 
As though in a nightmare, He looked around and saw all creation staring at Him in stunned silence and horror. He heard the deafening Voice pronounce a word against Him, “Banished!”
 
Then He felt His very soul wrenched from within Him in the crushing grip of the wrath of God and thrown as refuse from the Presence of Holiness. Down He hurled into outer darkness. Down He tumbled through unspeakable blackness. As He fell beyond the sight of Heaven, there was burned into His heart one last terrifying image: the piercing gaze of His Father, a look of disgust and condemnation on His Face.
 
Christ was utterly abandoned, banished, and forsaken. The isolation that was the original and ultimate malady of God became the ultimate punishment for sin, and the ultimate price that Christ must pay.
 
So for the first time, the divine Fellowship was broken, the unity and communion He had forever enjoyed with the Father were cut off. For the first time in His eternal existence, Jesus Christ was totally, infinitely alone.
 
Wood creaks, tendons pop, raspy lungs strain for breath, and He speaks yet again. Listen now to the most desperate, heart-rending words ever uttered.
 
…Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “…My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” (Mark 15:34)
 
Out of sight, out of hearing, out of strength, stretched on a cruel cross driven into the skull of a godforsaken hill, the Lamb of God struggled mightily under the load of sin, punishment, and abandonment.
 
Hated by man, tortured by Satan, and condemned by God, He willingly laid down all that was left of His heart. And so He drained to the last dreg and drop that horrific Cup, and threw it empty aside!
 
***
 
Reproach has broken My heart, and I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. (Psalm 69:20)
 
How great is the heart of Christ? How great then must have been His heartbreak. Abandoned and alone in physical and spiritual darkness, He searched for someone, anyone, to show the slightest hint of pity, to give Him just a touch of comfort. But there was none.
 
Hell was rejoicing at His demise.
 
Earth’s inhabitants were unwilling and unable to offer Him anything but a reason to suffer.
 
Heaven’s Gates were slammed shut.
 
Christ’s existence was reduced to hopelessness and despair. An eternity of fear flooded His entire being and set His body to trembling, a prelude to the death rattle.
 
His broken heart was terrified at the sight of the gaping maw of death. Like a serpent, it was engulfing Him wholly, and His Spirit wailed in horror as He experienced firsthand what it means to be infinitely lost, completely alone, and utterly fallen.
 
My heart is severely pained within Me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon Me. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon Me, and horror has overwhelmed Me. (Psalm 55:4-5)
 
It took an enormous amount of effort for Him to drink the Cup to its bitter end, and it took a lot more for Him to completely pour out the ocean of God’s love. But when His heart broke on the cross of Calvary, it unleashed the torrent of Grace that would flood the hearts and souls of mankind.
 
It was a long, long fall for the Lord Jesus Christ. He Who was once Everything had become nothing. And the fall He took for us left Him dead in every possible way.
 
Why would He be willing to freely lay down His life to such an awful degree?
 
Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. (John 12:24)
 
(from “For the Love of God: His Heart, Our Purpose” by Johnny D. Taylor)
