echo eternity

Psalms 146:10
"The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD."

God imputes Christ’s perfect righteousness to believers through faith in Him—a gracious, unearned gift secured by Christ’s atoning sacrifice. Though imperfect, the righteous repent and seek to follow God’s will in covenant with Him, reflecting His character daily. God delights in this!

Yet He hates wickedness. He actively thwarts the plans of the wicked, overturning their paths and foiling their schemes. God calls believers to share His heart by pursuing compassion and justice, stirring our consciences to oppose evil and align with His ways.

Today’s verse declares that God’s reign is timeless, personal, and permanent—no term limits, no successors. “The LORD reigns forever” echoes Psalm 93:1, Daniel 4:34, and Revelation 11:15.
“Zion” signifies both the historic city David captured—where God chose to dwell in the temple—and the spiritual dwelling place of His people.

The verse ends with a joyful command: “Praise ye the LORD.” This call to worship flows from confidence in God’s just, benevolent, and eternal rule, inviting gratitude for His steadfast love. Psalm 146 offers hope and assurance: amid shifting history and cultures, God remains faithfully committed to His people.

This Christmas, let us renew our commitment to praise our Lord and Savior in worship that echoes heaven’s eternal chorus!
Amen.

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

Acts 2:7&8 "7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?" The Holy Ghost is the only way this happens. They were very surprised to be hundreds and, some cases, thousands of miles from "home" and hearing their language spoken! It was astonishing! Appreciate that these devout Jewish people whose families had been carried away from Israel generations before. Taken in captivity by armies that invaded and conquered Israel. (A little like Joseph was taken captive to Egypt. All by God's plan to save the Israelites during a time of famine.) Over the years, these Jewish "captives" would adopt the language and some of the customs of their captors. However, they remained Jewish. By the time of the events recorded in the book of Acts, they made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Passover and the Feast of Weeks. They just happe...

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...
