What
Does the Lord Require?
With
what shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers
of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the
sin of my soul?
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6: 6-8

Ephesians 4
Bear with one another in love and charity. Be humble, be
patient, be selfless, be as one. The is one body, there is one
spirit, there is one hope to which we are called. We are all
to come to unity, in our faith and knowledge the Son of God,
until we become perfect in the fullness of Christ.

In the Image of Christ
To be conformed to the image of Christ is not an ideal to be
striven after. It is not as though we had to imitate him as well
as we could. We cannot transform ourselves into his image;
it is rather the form of Christ which seeks to be formed in us
(Gal. 4.19), and to be manifested in us. Christ's work in
us is not finished until he has perfected his own form in us.
We must be assimilated to the form of Christ in its entirety,
the form of Christ incarnate, crucified and glorified.

A Christian Journey
"Nothing whatever, whether great or small, can happen to a
believer, without God’s ordering and permission. There is no
such thing as chance, luck, or accident in the Christian’s journey
through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God. And
all things are “working together” for the believer’s good.”
– J.C. Ryle

Christ Has Arisen, Alleluia
Christ has arisen, alleluia,
Rejoice and praise Him, alleluia.
For our Redeemer burst from the tomb,
Even from death, dispelling its gloom.
Let us sing praise to Him with endless joy;
Death’s fearful sting He has come to destroy
Our sin forgiving, alleluia!
Jesus is living, alleluia!

To Taste Death in the Flesh
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
When Thou didst taste death in the flesh, O Lord,
Thou didst check bitter Death by the Resurrection, and didst
make man to prevail over it, restoring victory over the old curse.
Wherefore, O Supporter and Champion of our life, glory to Thee.
