We are a old time Baptist Church we still preach from the old king James Bible and sing from the old hymnals.Where Jesus is King and rules from the word of GOD.

It seems like every time a well‑known person passes away, the world suddenly fills up with “experts” on salvation. Folks speak with such confidence about heaven and eternity… but the truth is, none of us knows the heart — only God does.

The Bible says, “Man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” We see fame, kindness, talent, and good works. But God sees the soul. God sees the heart. God alone knows who is His.

This is why salvation must always be spoken of with humility. It isn’t based on popularity, public opinion, or how someone made us feel. Salvation is the work of God in the heart — and only He knows the true condition of any person.

So instead of assuming, let’s pray for grieving families, trust God’s perfect judgment, and make sure our own hearts are right with Him. Eternity is too important to leave to guesswork.

Sometimes the greatest blessings in our lives were born out of someone else’s travail.
Isaiah 53:11 says Christ “shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied.”

All the peace we enjoy…
All the forgiveness we rest in…
All the hope we cling to…
All the grace that carries us…

It came from His soul‑labor.
Not ours.
Not our works.
Not our righteousness.

Today, let your heart breathe this truth:
Jesus is satisfied with the price He paid for you.
And because He is satisfied, you can be at peace.

Many talk about faith as something we achieve, but I’m reminded today that being able to "see" the Kingdom of God is a gospel privilege granted only by His grace. If our hearts are softened and our eyes are opened, it isn't because of our own wisdom, but because of His sovereign mercy. All glory to God alone!

FAITH OF CHRIST — WHY THE WORD “OF” MATTERS
Church… Romans 3:22 in the King James Bible says:

“Even the righteousness of God which is by faith OF Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe…”

That little word OF is not small — it is the dividing line between grace and works, between Christ’s obedience and our effort, between the gospel and man‑made religion.

Many modern versions change it to “faith IN Christ.”
That sounds harmless… but it changes the doctrine completely.

Here’s the truth:

“Faith OF Christ” means the righteousness of God comes from Christ’s faithfulness — not ours.
His obedience.
His righteousness.
His covenant loyalty.
His perfect faith.
His finished work.

Christ’s faithfulness is the cause of righteousness.
Our believing is the receiving of righteousness.

But when the word is changed to “faith IN Christ,” the weight shifts from Christ’s obedience to our believing — from His faithfulness to our performance.

That is a serious problem.

Because:

Blind men cannot produce faith.

Dead men cannot generate faith.

Darkened hearts cannot create faith.

If righteousness depends on our faith,
we could never be saved.

But righteousness comes BY Christ’s faith
and UPON those who believe.

Christ gives faith.
Christ reveals Himself.
Christ opens the eyes.
Christ draws the sinner.
Christ authors belief.

Christ’s faith secures righteousness.
Our faith receives righteousness.**

That’s Romans 3:22.
That’s apostolic doctrine.
That’s the gospel.
That’s why the King James wording matters.

Hold the line, church.
The righteousness of God rests on Christ, not us.

Baptists Helped Shape American Liberty
The story of American liberty can’t be told without the Baptists.

In colonial Virginia, Baptist preachers were jailed, whipped, and fined for preaching without permission from the state church. But they refused to bow. They stood on the simple New Testament truth that Christ alone is Head of the church, and no government has authority over the conscience of believers.

Their courage caught the attention of leaders like Thomas Jefferson, who visited Baptist meetings and admired their democratic church government and freedom of conscience. Jefferson later wrote the Danbury Baptists promising a “wall of separation” — not to keep faith out of public life, but to keep the government out of the church.

From the apostolic pattern to the mountains of persecution to the founding of our nation, God has always preserved a people who stood for liberty, Scripture, and the Lordship of Christ.

Baptists didn’t just enjoy American freedom — they helped build it.

Romans 6:3–4
When Christ saved us, He didn’t just forgive our sins—He united us to His own death and resurrection. “Baptized into Christ” means the Spirit has placed us into Jesus Himself. The old man is buried. A new life has risen. Water baptism is the picture, but union with Christ is the miracle. Because He lives, we walk in newness of life. Let the world see the One who raised us from the dead.

Separation of Church and State — A Baptist Legacy
Brethren, many people don’t realize this, but Baptists were among the most persecuted believers in early America. They were fined, whipped, jailed, and even beaten simply because they refused to submit to a state‑controlled church. Why? Because they believed what Scripture teaches — that Christ alone is Head of the church, and no earthly power has authority over the conscience.

This is what “separation of church and state” really means:

👉 The government cannot control the church.
👉 The church cannot wield the sword of the government.
👉 No man can force another to worship.
👉 Only Christ rules His people.

Our Baptist forefathers stood for soul liberty, local church authority, sovereign grace, and Spirit‑led worship — and they suffered for it. But through their courage, religious liberty became a cornerstone of American life.

Separation of church and state is not about keeping God out of government. It’s about keeping the government out of God’s church. And that is a truth worth remembering.

Church, the world system hasn’t changed. The same spirit that built Babel’s tower, Rome’s empire, and Babylon’s marketplace still pulls at hearts today. But God’s people are in the world, not of it. Our citizenship is in heaven, our life is hidden with Christ, and our hope is anchored in glory. The world fades… but the believer stands.

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John 2:15 is a command given directly to the church. John is not warning the world — the world already loves its own system. He is warning believers, those who have the anointing (v. 20), those who know the truth (v. 21), those who confess that Jesus is the Christ (v. 22). He tells the redeemed, “Love not the world,” meaning do not give your heart to the world‑system built on the lust of the flesh (craving what pleases me), the lust of the eyes (desiring what dazzles me), and the pride of life (exalting what glorifies me). John is not forbidding affection — he is forbidding allegiance. The world cannot stop loving the world, but the church must, because love shapes loyalty. If we love the world’s system, we will follow its lusts; if we love the Father, we will follow His will. John is saying, “Church, do not give your heart to the system that opposes your God.”
