O hear my heart of love for you,

I would your joy increase.

You are my soul of poetry,

My Valentine, whom I adore,

whose gentle heart is kind;

I give to you my loving gifts,

of life and love to bind.

You are my Rose of loveliness,

a fragrant beauty so;

Sweet Valentine, my sweet JoLynn,

On this day of loving hearts,

JoLynn, my everlasting love,

JoLynn, my everything;

JoLynn, my breath and beating heart,

your name my soul does sing.

O hold us ever near your heart,

my prose will ever say;

how much I love you evermore,

from your devoted Ray.

I love you, JoLynn.

The world often views God’s timing as "slackness" or indifference, but the Bible reveals a much different reality. As the elements prepare to melt with fervent heat, our focus must shift from what we possess to who we are becoming. This message explores the practical steps of spiritual transformation and the necessity of constant recommitment.

-- To be conformed to the image of Christ is an ongoing, daily pursuit of following His example of suffering and silence under reviling.

-- To be renewed in the spirit of the mind requires a constant saturation in the Word of God to prevent the "callousing" effect of habitual sin.

-- To be perfect does not mean to be flawless, but to be complete, requiring us to sacrifice the "great possessions" or secret habits we hold dear.

-- The "Divine Delay" is not a sign of God's absence, but a manifestation of His long-suffering nature, giving every soul the space needed to repent.

-- Preparedness for the Day of the Lord involves "hastening" toward His coming with diligence, zeal, and a heart found in peace.

In this episode, Todd Bernard explores the "Gospel Call" not as a singular event, but as a lifelong commitment with specific personal responsibilities. He breaks down the biblical mandates to be saints, to walk in fellowship, and to pursue holiness with the intensity of an athlete or a soldier. By examining the literal facts of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, Bernard illustrates why the "form of doctrine" found in baptism is the essential pattern for every believer.

-- This message details the three primary facets of the Gospel call: the call to be a saint (purity), the call to fellowship (walking in light), and the call to holiness (consecration).

-- Bernard emphasizes personal responsibility, noting that just as a homeowner knows where the dust settles in their own house, a Christian must take charge of cleansing their own "flesh and spirit."

-- The transcript highlights the necessity of "girding up the loins of the mind," using the analogy of ancient tunics and modern football jerseys to explain how we must eliminate "loose" areas of our lives that the enemy can grab.

-- A significant portion of the teaching addresses "perversions" of the Gospel, arguing that modern additives like the "Sinner’s Prayer" do not align with the biblical pattern of salvation.

-- The lesson concludes with a call to "righteous dissatisfaction," urging believers never to be content with their current spiritual growth but to "press toward the mark" for the prize.

In this challenging message, Robert Kornegay explores the fallout of the Fall in Genesis 3. He focuses on the specific questions God asked Adam and Eve after their disobedience, illustrating that God wasn't seeking information, but inviting a deep heart examination. The sermon bridges the gap between the Garden of Eden and the Great Judgment, asking us to consider whose voice we are truly obeying today.

-- The distinction between innocence and ignorance, and how sin shifts our focus from God to a fractured self-consciousness.

-- How shame creates a cycle of hiding and blame-shifting that mirrors our modern attempts to excuse sin.

-- The parallel between Adam’s excuses and the "false assurance" of religious people described by Jesus in Matthew 7.

-- A call to return to the clear, unadulterated commands of Scripture regarding worship, the Lord’s Supper, and baptism.

-- The danger of "marking down" the price of God's commands to fit our personal convenience or cultural preferences.
