A Benediction

A benediction is often an invocation of divine blessing, usually given at the end of a service or message. (1)

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. 

(Hebrews 13: 20-21 NASB) *

May God bless each of you.

Hold On

Thanks be to God for giving us His Word.  If we read it daily, it will deliver us from the snares set by the devil.

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.  But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness.  We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.  (Hebrews 3:12-14 NIV) *
