Tomorrow Will Be Half Way

Tomorrow We Will Be Half Way 

                                     For the 30 Day Bible Challenge

     Reading Psalms and Proverbs 

has been a joy! 

Tomorrow we will be at the half way point. 

Don't be like the man who was challenged 

to swim the English Channel.

He went 1/2 way, got tired, turned around and went back.


I Have Decided To Follow Jesus

(Simon K Marak)

1. I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
I have decided to follow Jesus;
No turning back; no turning back.

2. If no one joins me, still I will follow;
If no one joins me, still I will follow;
If no one joins me, still I will follow;
No turning back; no turning back.

3. The cross before me, the world behind me;
The cross before me, the world behind me;
The cross before me, the world behind me;
No turning back, no turning back.

I Will Give You Rest

Matthew 11:28-30 

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 

[30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.


Luke 4:17-21 

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 

[18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 

[19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 

[20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 

[21] And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.



John 14:6-7 


6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

 [7] If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.



Acts 4:10-12 


10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

[11] This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 

[12] Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.



Ephesians 4:3-6 

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 

[4] There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 

[5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 

[6] One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.


1 Timothy 1:15

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.


1 Timothy 3:16 

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
