WORD OF THE DAY - Monday 16 November 2009







If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

Mighty God, our Merciful Eternal Father in Heaven ~ Thank you for the revitalizing gift of life that brings healing to our bones on this new day. We are humbled as we consider how much we are loved even when we separate ourselves from your holiness by sinning. As we repent, we have nothing else to offer for our sins except our broken hearts and we beg your forgiveness as we forgive others who offend us. We are amazed at our wonderful salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord that heals and restores! In Him we pray, Amen.

We had eight for our worship service on Sunday. Everyone was in a great mood as we blended our voices in praise to our Lord. In case you wonder, we sing one verse of each song in English, and the rest of the verses in Russian language. I preach and teach in English and Galina translates to Russian. Occasionally, we will practice singing in Ukrainian. We had hopes for some visitors but are very thankful for our small group that is very faithful in attendance at nearly every meeting. We didn't have heat in the room, so after the service, we prepared some hot water for чай /tea and coffee with peanut butter that we found made here in Ukraine. Thank you for the prayers as we make plans to reach more people here in Nikolaev with the Gospel of Christ.
