LastCall: Grown a bit weary of late? -Jon Courson

Greetings and Grace to Each and Everyone! Well, as you can see from the pictures above, Tammy and I had the great joy of having our granddaughters spend some time with us here in Oregon. We had an absolute ball! And my dog Pawdre (our 16 month old Newfoundland puppy (!)) was in heaven playing with the girls and giving them a cart-ride on a snowy day. All of which is to say, it really pays big-time dividends to go God's way and embrace God's grace that He so amazingly sends our way when we acknowledge our need for Him and keep on recommitting our lives to Him. Perhaps you have grown a bit weary of late and have felt tempted to back off the path a bit. Don't do it! Stay the course, keep the faith, don't give up! Great blessings and rich rewards will be yours if you continue on in the ways of the Lord. The best is yet to come ... I promise! For His promises do indeed come to pass! So precious Searchlight Flock, "Be not weary in well doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Gal 6:9). Keep in His Word, continue in the walk, enjoy His presence and get ready to be blessed "exceeding abundantly above all you could ask or think" (Eph.3:20). Delighting in Him...Delighted with Him, Jon Courson

January 19   But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Genesis 6:8   That Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord does not mean that God showed grace to Noah exclusively. Yes, a flood eventually wiped out everyone else, but not before God gave them one hundred years to repent of their wickedness and receive salvation. Yes, the planet was deluged, but every man had opportunity to hear His message as they observed Noah building the huge barge. But the world refused to grab hold of the good news of salvation, and they drowned in their sin. It wasn’t that God looked at Noah with grace and everyone else with condemnation. God looked at everyone with eyes of grace and mercy. It’s just that Noah found the grace.  The question I want to ask you today is this: What have you found in the eyes of the Lord?  The story is told of the time a London traffic jam prevented C. S. Lewis from arriving at a certain religious symposium on time. The panel, comprised of the world’s most highly esteemed religious thinkers, began without him, their first question being: What is unique about Christianity? Although the Buddhist, Muslim, Jew, and Taoist discussed the question, they could arrive at no conclusive answer. In the midst of their debate, C. S. Lewis burst into the room.  “Dr. Lewis,” said the moderator, “tell us what is unique to Christianity.”  “That’s easy,” Lewis is said to have replied. “It’s grace.”  C. S. Lewis was right. No other religion or philosophy provides unmerited, undeserved, unearned favor. Every other religion, every other philosophy says there are things we must do—devotional exercises, good deeds, or righteous acts—to earn blessings from Allah or to gain favor from Buddha. Only biblical Christianity says, “It’s all grace, nothing more, nothing less, nothing else.”
