"Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon." - Isaiah 55:6-7
"[1] Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
[2] Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
[3] For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
[4] Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest.
[5] Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
[6] Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
[7] Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
[8] Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
[9] Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
[10] Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
[11] Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
[12] Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.
[13] Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
[14] Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness.
[15] O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise.
[16] For Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offering.
[17] The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
[18] Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
[19] Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar." - Psalm 51:1-19
"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." - John 3:16
I am a Christian, and I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior from my sins! Praise the LORD for saving such a sinful wretch like me!! Courage, Christian soldiers serving under King Jesus' banner! "What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31) "Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." (2 Timothy 2:3)
Favorite book: The Holy Bible, which is the Word of God. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)
Other favorite books: The Bell Mountain Series by Lee Duigon; The Remnant Trilogy by Tim Chaffey and K. Marie Adams; The Crown & Covenant Trilogy and Hostage Lands by Douglas Bond; The Ultimate Proof of Creation by Jason Lisle; Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon; etc. I highly recommend these books! 📖😃

Hi Joshua!
Here’s a song that I think you will like, you might have heard of it before. The song is called “Come Praise and Glorify”, we recently sang it at church, so I don’t know any group that sings it, but I’m sure you can find one on YouTube.
This is Elijah.

Hello Elijah!
Thank you for your suggestion! I listened to “Come Praise and Glorify” performed by Sovereign Grace on YouTube, and it’s great! I think I’ll post it someday. (I’m going to bed soon, so good-night! 🌛🌟)
This is Josh. ✌

I only made mention of it being me, because I was logged into my family account, and I thought my name wasn’t going to show up.
Talk to you later!

HI Joshua!
I have a random question.
Do you have the Premium or Personal plan for your WordPress blog?

I have the personal plan. I was just wondering because I am going to be starting a new website that I will be needing to put videos on, but I noticed that certain plans wouldn’t allow you to put videos.

I had the same problem, too. I wanted to post my own videos, like Jay and my music performance for instance, but I couldn’t as I had to upgrade my plan. So ultimately I had to make my own YouTube channel, then copy the embed codes so that I can post my videos on my blog. Good luck on your new blog, Elijah! Looking forward to seeing it!

Okay, I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t just me with the video problem. Thanks! I’m trying to get it up and live in the next few weeks.

Are you going to use YouTube?

No, I’m going to buy an higher plan. I personally am a little cautious about using YouTube; I might open a YouTube account one day, but for now I’m staying away from it.
