Never is a strong word

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22-23

Beloved,

Never is a strong word.  We probably use the word more frequently than we would care to admit.  It is easy in an argument to say something like, “You never appreciate me or you never follow through on things I ask you to do.” But never is a strong word.  It is very hard for a “never” statement to be true because of the permanence of that word. Never is defined as not ever; at no time; not in any degree’ not under any condition.

Now read the verse above.  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end.”  The steadfast love of the Lord will not cease or end under any condition; not ever.  Wow!! That is a strong statement.  God’s mercies will never come to an end, but are new every morning.  Are you in a bad season? Have you been struggling with sin?  Have you pushed the Lord to the side?  Listen, the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases and his mercies never end; they are new every morning.  Turn back to God and embrace his mercy for He is waiting to let you experience his mercy anew.   

Spring is a time of renewal.  Spring is a time of new life.  This spring we are close to celebrating Easter Sunday and the new life we have in Jesus Christ.  The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases because Jesus Christ has overcome the grave. Our new life in Christ will never end.  Great is God’s faithfulness.  O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not. As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be. Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— Great is Thy faithfulness,  Lord, unto me!

Beloved, God is faithful to fulfill his promises.  Let’s rejoice in God’s never ending mercy and steadfast love this Easter season.  

In Christ,

Pastor Dave

Yesterday, amid a worsening crisis at the Southern Border, we learned a very interesting fact. Joe Biden, who has been an elected official for over FORTY YEARS, hasn’t been to the Southern Border…EVER. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki could not provide a single example of Joe Biden ever visiting the border. And the White House still hasn’t provided one.

This fact, while very shocking, is not surprising at all. From day one, Joe Biden has ignored desperate pleas for help from border town officials and law enforcement. He refuses to take any responsibility for the crisis he created and comes up with ridiculous excuses. For Joe Biden, past is indeed prologue as he continues to ignore the border like he’s done for the past 40 years of his public life.

Biden’s border crisis is reaching a breaking point and – just like Biden has done for the past 40 years – he continues to ignore it. But Senate Democrats STILL won’t call on Joe Biden to drop the excuses and get to work. Why? Because fake moderates like Mark Kelly, Catherine Cortez Masto, Maggie Hassan, Raphael Warnock, and Michael Bennet “don’t want to hurt their own party’s president.”

Americans deserve Senators who are willing to fight for their safety. Not fake moderates who put the wellness of their political party over the wellness of the people they represent.
