The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword,

and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge

the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

The Word of God, the Bible, is far more powerful than we

can imagine. That’s why simply sharing the Word is often

more effective than we know. We think we have failed,

but the Word sinks into the human heart and bears fruit.

Love you immensely,

Dear Grands,

Hebrews 2:17-18, “Therefore, He (Jesus) had to be made like His brethren in all things,

so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God,

to make propitiation (sin offering) for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was

tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.”

The LORD left nothing out. The Father sent His Son to Earth in human flesh, so He

would be like other men, so that He might become the sin offering for us on the

cross. As a human being, Jesus understands our inclination to sin and helps us

to overcome everything that is displeasing to the Father.

Love you all immensely,

Dear Grands,

Titus 2:11-14, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

12 instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly,

righteously and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and the

appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14 who gave

Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself

a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.”

Notice how it is all from Him and how it is all for Him. Our cooperation with

His will is always for His glory and always for our benefit.

Love you guy,

Dear Grands,

2 Timothy 2:15, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God

as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling

the word of truth.”

May the LORD bless you abundantly on this His Day!

Love to all of you,

Dear Grands,

1 Timothy 6:17-19, “Instruct those who are rich in this present world

not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches,

but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. 18 Instruct

them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready

to share, 19 storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation

for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.”

This is such a rich and meaningful passage. Read it carefully over and over

and allow its truth to saturate your thinking!

Love and prayers always,
