Jan RossA few people have asked why I chose such a strange name for my blog.  After all, a plumb line is a carpenter's tool, a simple weight attached to a line for determining the exactness of a vertical line.  But, isn't that what it's all about?  Aren't we supposed to align our lives to a perfectly vertical line?  Of course, His name is Yeshua, the Perfect Son of God, the Lamb slain before the foundation of the earth. 

Yeshua lived a perfect, sinless life.  He victoriously endured unbelievable persecution and temptation in order that His perfect, sinless life could be the Plumb Line for everyone.  Yeshua ... our Plumb Line.

Since Yeshua is now seated at the right hand of the Father, He made sure we weren't left without a written record of His life and character, His sufferings and victories, His rejection and triumph, all of which is recorded in one Book for us to use in His physical absence as an example for our lives.

In order to align our lives to the example of Yeshua, we must be willing to believe the Word of God is divinely inspired, infallible, and truth. No other book ever written or published can make those claims ... NO other book.  The Bible is complete and needs no additional revelation by man or woman to enhance it or complete it. 

The Plumb Line is my attempt to keep my heart and life aligned to the Word of God.  I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation for His glory!

The Plumb Line is Jesus Christ, the Living Word

"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  (Philippians 2:9-11)

Sometimes less is more. Today's thought may be few in words, but the words used hold more than all the words mankind has ever uttered or even thought of! There truly is no MORE—no greater name than the Name of Jesus.

There is no other name by which a sin-sick soul is healed.

There is no other name by which we can be saved!

The Name of Jesus . . . there is no other Name which evokes such authority yet imparts such unspeakable love and mercy!

The Name of Jesus . . . above all other names, above all principalities and above all powers!

The Name of Jesus, that precious Name, will forever be our banner . . . in battle, in victory, in sweet retreat, in triumph!

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus . . . there IS something about that Name!

When doubt or fear overwhelms you, just begin to speak the Name that is above every name . . . the Name of Jesus!

When we think of Jesus our thoughts should be enormous, without boundary, inexhaustible, incomprehensible, unmatchable, and unfathomable.

May today's few words be the richest words you've ever read … the name of Jesus is more than enough! Amen!

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus; there is something special about Your name. As my lips speak forth Your Name, my heart is overjoyed at the awareness of Your presence. Oh, how I love the Name of Jesus; it is as honey on my lips, sweet, pure, and nourishing to my soul. May my mouth ever show forth Thy praise and my heart sing of Thy goodness today and every day, Jesus. Amen!

"By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see." (Acts 3:16 NIV)
