Good Morning,

I then as a minister with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says:

“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Check out today's "A Word to the Wize blog post.

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1...

Here is “The Word to the Wize” blog entry for today:

What is written here is my thoughts; not Scripture. So feel free to drop kick them into Fayette County. (I use this line whenever I am spitballing or offering my opinion.) My reading of Scripture leads me to think God doesn’t give spiritual gifts based on talent. In fact He seems to avoid what we ...

The young lady who cuts my hair broke her elbow so severely that surgery is required. She is self-employed and as do many in her line of work rents a chair is an established barber shop. She does NOT have health insurance, and does not now have a source of income.

It has been my practice not to ask others to help when I can help on my own. In this case I plan to help her financially, but I do not have the financial clout to cover her expenses on my own.

I know little about her other than she does a good job of cutting my hair and is not reluctant to work to provide for her own needs. I will NOT participate in a Go Fund Me campaign for a verity of reasons.

I am appealing to my friends for help. I am not quite sure how to go about receiving any financial contributions so as to do all things above reproach. Perhaps I can asked her full name and checks can be written. I can then deliver them to her place of employment to be given to her(?)

Alistair Begg writes - Christ’s humiliation for us and exaltation above us are surely enough to bring us to the point where we bow in joyful submission to Him. They show us that there is one who has the status to demand our obedience and the character to deserve our adoration. They remind us that the best thing about heaven will be the most glorious person in heaven:

I will not gaze at glory, but on my King of grace;
Not at the crown He giveth, but on His piercèd hand;
The Lamb is all the glory of Immanuel’s land.[1]
Anne R. Cousin, “The Sands of Time Are Sinking” (1857).

Philippians 2:5-8 (New King James Version)

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
