A few thoughts from Las Mercedes

• Heb. 1:1-4 Jesus is God's last message to the world.  We don't read much in these verses about what Jesus said; we read about what He was.

• We're thankful that our salvation doesn't depend on our natural capabilities.

• When we make decisions in order to please God, we can count on His help.

• In Jesus' day, the Passover had become nothing more than a Jewish festival.

• We speak often about the perfect example of Jesus.  Do we take advantage of every possible opportunity to follow His example?

• I am the only one that can give my life over to God.

• The shepherd's voice is sufficient for the sheep.

• We don't mean anything to the devil; he just wants to mess up God's work.

• You don't find bread in the wheat field nor wine in the vineyard.  You have to be willing for the mill and for the winepress.

• If we can keep ourselves on the side of the intercessor, we'll be safe.

• Our spirit of gratitude lifts Jesus up in this world.

• We have no right to ask others to live in a way that we are not willing to live ourselves.

• Spiritual independence never has a good outcome.

• We'll never have to be ashamed if we've bowed our will to the King.  Everything He's ever said is true.

• Sometimes, when the truth wins out, all we can do is say, "I'm sorry."
