Last week while listening to internet radio, an old standard came on and I began to sing along:

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

chorus

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,

With the cross of Jesus going on before.

Words: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1865

Music:Arthur S. Sullivan, 1871

Did you sing along as well?

Is it stuck in your head now?

I see my calling here at The Gospel Mission as one of proclaiming Gods gift to humanity. Salvation only through His precious son Jesus Christ.

Daily we are bombarded with trials and tribulations, everything from people doing drugs and acting out to plumbing issues. However, we must march on as Christian soldiers, Always placing Christ first before all else; praying for people and the old plumbing may seem silly, but God can and does work miracles!

By placing Jesus first, and praying is sometimes the only way I make it through the day! Gods word tells us in Colossians 3:15-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

I pray you all have a blessed month.
