Scales

SCALES


SNIPPET

The Lord will bless us with more baptisms if you make sure the ones you have are going to keep their commitments. The Lord will not prepare more people for baptism if we are not converting the ones we have.  Richard G. Scott

SCRIPTURE

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. ACTS 9:17,18 KJV

SONG
The Well and the Gravestone by The Vespers
https://youtu.be/91WHQN-DulA

Here lies the heart of me
Buried with an unmarked gravestone
No name, just the dates it lived and died
Now I want it back

Always finding but never seeing the way
(I want to love again, to love again, once again)
Teach me how not to be afraid
(Teach me to love again, to love again, once again)

Take me down and let me see
The well that's full of bravery
And baptize me so I'll be free
To do the things I fear

Always finding but never seeing the way
(I want to love again, to love again, once again)
Teach me how not to be afraid
(Teach me to love again, to love again, once again)

Hiding in a filthy hole
With a battered bruised and blistered soul
We will laugh the day I'm whole
And I'll finally see why I used to cry

Always finding but never seeing the way
(I want to love again, to love again, once again)
Teach me how not to be afraid
(Teach me to love again, to love again, once again)
Always finding but never seeing the way
(I want to love again, to love again, once again)
Teach me how not to be afraid
(Teach me to love again, to love again, once again)
Once again, once again

SENTENCE PRAYER

Jesus my Lord and God

I am the one that kicks against the goads!

I am the persecutor of the church

I bow my knee to your rule!

Only in groveling in your presence

will the scales be lifted!

Will I see again!

Only in submission will I find bravery enough to 

pick up my cross!  Amen
