The Possibilities of Love

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

1 John 3:23

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

Emmaus

This is the title song to the album which was released in 2003.  Lisa sat on a kitchen stool working on this song at night while waiting for one or more of her kids to get home.  Of course, you will want to re-read the record from Luke 24:13ff.  This was recorded at Cloverland Recording Studio in North Hollywood, CA with Billy Sullivan as recording engineer.  Dan Moran acted as producer and arranger for the entire album

Luke 24:13ff

13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. 17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not. 25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.

Abounding Grace

Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

All The Way Home

This song has become a favorite wherever Lisa has played live.

 

We were young, we believed

We were joyful, relieved

We were saved by God's love and grace.

We were born-again, holy spirit within,

God's power from on high.

 

We witnessed and we cared,

We prayed and we shared,

And we sang all the way home.

 

Written and recorded in the fall of 2013.  The recording was done at Euphonic Studio with Bill Niemi as recording engineer.

Love In The Household

2 Corinthians 13:11

Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Healthy -Hugiaino

So I always had a little thing that I like to do. Getting some of these verses, the big PFAL verses, and then getting in there, digging them, ripping them apart, tugging them from every angle. Getting to the depth, the meat of it. Because I thought, I believed that maybe I could relive some of the thrill, some of the excitement that Dr. Wierwille was looking at for the first time and it jumped out at him. And I've always been real blessed.

So this is a verse, I realized that I looked at this verse, how many times we’ve quoted it and we’ve talked about it, and it comes up. But I realized that I’d never done that with this verse. So I decided to do it and it totally opened up my eyes with understanding to what God’s word is regarding a certain aspect of our life.

And it’s 3 John, verse 2. Nobody knows this verse, right? You all have to read your Bible to look at it.

3 John 1:2:
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest [what?] prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

And I began to think. Okay, well, now what is God’s heart here? What is involved? Too many times, for most of our believers, being in healthy means not being sick. How limited. For most of them, we say this verse, when we think of this verse we think of two things; money and not going into the hospital. And, you know, that’s right. That’s what nine times out of ten will run through a believer’s mind when thinking about this verse; well, I can make a lot of money and I won’t be in the hospital.

Our Newness of Life

Luke 24:1-6

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Members of the One Body

1 Corinthians 12:12
King James Version
12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

Rotherham
12 For, just as, the body, is one, and yet hath many members, but, all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so, also, the Christ;—

Apostles Sent of God

Colossians 1:1 (KJV)

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

Colossians 1:1 (Literal)

1 Paul, Jesus Christ’s apostle by God’s will and Timothy, a brother,

Grace

You see, that record in Ephesians 2 that we read, 2:7.

Ephesians 2:7:
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

It takes the Book of Ephesians to make known the exceeding riches of His grace. No other record in the whole Word makes as distinctively and fully known the exceeding riches of his grace as does the Book of Ephesians. And it’s significant that that is tied together with 3:8.

Ephesians 3:8:
… am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the… untrackable riches of Christ;

So grace is exceeding all definition. Grace is so fantastically grace that it’s totally untrackable. The conception of the Lord Jesus Christ in Luke, highly favored. Grace.

1:6 of Ephesians.

Ephesians 1:6:
… he hath made us… [he made us] lovely and acceptable.

He made us acceptable. When you were born into the first family, if it was under the proper arrangement and all of this other stuff, I’m quite confident you were acceptable. As a matter of fact, they were tickled to death you had arrived.

In the new birth, God in Christ hath made us acceptable. Did we deserve coming the first time? We didn’t deserve coming the second time either. It’s grace. The first one is a natural application, the second one is heavenly or divine.
