A WEED OR OR SOME WHEAT?
The Kingdom of God according to Jesus,is like a man who planted his wheat,in a field and while he was sleeping the enemy came and planted weeds. Then the wheat started growing but so did the weeds.When Jesus was ask about the quality of his seed he planted(the wheat)
The Lord said the enemy did this.So then the workers ask the man him if he wanted them to pull up the weeds. He told them NO.THEY may pull out the wheat as well.He said when the wheat is cut,gather the weeds first in bundles to be burned.BUT.....I WILL HAVE THEM BRING THE WHEAT INTO MY BARN.WOW!
There is coming a separation day.The one done by the risen Savior!Be wheat not weeds.
PANIC ....YES...PANIC.
Just some plain talk this morning.Its awesome to go to the Lords house(church) while doing my best to be obedient. I am learning something NO PERSON TALKS MUCH ABOUT.While in church i hear how the Lord is in our church and isn't it great that we can come to church and be with so many who the Lord walks with daily. Of course this is great! When we pray we speak of each others ailments.....and oh lord i have a few and they are painful.But......I believe if we pray in one accord for our enemies,our friends,then i say THEN God will heal us and respond.I got a little ahead of myself this time....but what i mean to say is,ever since i have tried to be obedient to the Lord i have come under satanic attacks.God's will is for me to attend church very often,tithe,and seek him out and learn of him,share,or even if it's his will to just be there,then that's my desire. Every church day or night i feel in my soul the attacks on me,and even some unprofitable for the Gospel thoughts. Yet i press on.I feel this is what we all experience when we are serious about serving the Lord.We must all press on.Evil is taking no break,and neither should we.I can see Satan at work in the minds of people,even in church,while at the same time i see christian brothers and sisters pressing on. God be with them as they serve you Lord.I feel it is urgent for us at my church and all Bible Preaching churches to PANIC!Yes panic.(PSALM 31:VERSE 22.)
Just like king David said.'When i was panic stricken,i have been cut off from your sight,but you heard my pleas for mercy when i cried out to you for help'
When you go to church and you can tell the pews are not full,realize this. Most people not there,have no sense of urgency to be there. Pray for that to change. Then listen carefully and you will see Satan trying very hard to divide the brethren thru strife. Then more stop coming.This is urgent! Big churches,go to your alters,on your knees pray for us small churches. Pray that God will fill his house with Panic stricken people searching for help from the church????????NO !!!!!! Help directly from the Lord himself.
Remember this,'The Lord protects faithful people,but he pays back in full those who act arrogantly.Be strong,all who wait with hope for the Lord,and let your heart be courageous.(PSALM 31:22,23.)
RUN......TO.........HIM.
Blessed is the person whose disobedience is forgiven and whose sin is pardoned.Blessed is the person whom the Lord no longer accuses of sin and has no deceitful thoughts.
(Psalm 32:1,2.)
Ain't that awesome.This is you when you surrender your heart and soul to Christ,and trust his will for your life.There is no job,no material possession,no activity,no sexual experience,no drugs or alcohol experience that can fulfill your souls desire to live in harmony with the the Lord.He will pardon you,he will no longer accuse you of sin,and your thoughts will reject deceitful thoughts.Listen to this in (Psalm 32 verse 5.)
King David of Israel said...."I made my sins known to you,and did not cover up my guilt.I decided to confess them to you,Oh Lord.Then you forgave all my sins.
Oh get this as my heart is thrilled.The Lord says,I WILL INSTRUCT YOU. I WILL TEACH YOU THE WAY THAT YOU SHOULD GO.I WILL ADVISE YOU AS MY EYES WATCH OVER YOU.
(Psalm 32:8)
Listen...nothing feels better nor stirs the heart like the Holy Spirit of God tugging at your heart.Drawing you to the Father thru Jesus Christ his Son.Read the 32nd chapter of Psalm. It's super duper encouragement. When people reject you,ignore you ,make you feel like they really do not care,i know who does. He already knows our issues. Take them to him. Confess your known and unknown sins to him. He loves you and is waiting to hear from you.

DISCLAIMER
Just a footnote: In no way in my last blog did i mean disrespect to anyone's family life.
Just a general observation about how fast paced the world in America has become,and it's effects. Sincerely.
THEY HAVE NO TIME (MAKE TIME)
Nehemiah the prophet was much like we are. The fear,the sadness,the carrying about things others do not seem to mind! He cared about his city,his city being torn downed and the gates burned down.His ancestors were buried in that city.Ya know i seem to find people every where i go that are so wrapped up in whats right in front of them,that they just simply do not care about their family History or the family cemetery where passed love ones are buried. Try to get them to talk about it and they seem to be so hung up on some money problem,or drama etc. I remember how the WW2 generation,that raised me,made it a point to talk to me about their lives during hardships,how they survived etc.
Yet when i try to speak to my kids and their kids about it ,there is no time. They have no time.I concern myself with that and i pray that will change. I have memories,yet i was able to talk with at least one of my grandparents. They did the talking i listened. And i never forgot.Well Nehemiah the prophet ask his King to let him go back to his home city,and rebuild it. The King wanted to know for how long. Nehemiah told him a specific date.Then the King agreed and then Nehemiah ask for safe passage to and from Judah his home,and he ask for written letters to give give all the authority to show he had permission.He ask for wood to rebuild the gates and for the house he would move into.Nehemiah had the hand of God guiding him,so the King gave him the letters he requested.all this is in the book of (Nehemiah chapter 2:verse 1-8)
Listen up,stay prayed up,trust in our Lord,then people will see it,and you never know,the authority over us may see the hand of God upon our hearts and lives and grant us our request. I am sure Nehemiah ask God for this help,and the lord placed the right people in front of him.
I like Nehemiah because he shows us to remember our forefathers and its a good thing to show them and their graves respect.Even the graves and lives of those we loved that have passed on. The cities they lived in,their interest,their passions.I feel i am in good company,and i see the Heavenly Father cares about what matters to me.Parents teach your children to respect their elders,the laws and commandments of God. Teach them to care about where they came from,and to protect it. Take it to the Lord in prayer and he will hear you.Read this story it will bless you.

HE HIDES IN ME IN HIS SHELTER WHEN THERE IS TROUBLE.
Good morning,its Saturday the day after the day after!
Just a little poke at the day they call black Friday. Huuuuuge shoppers day.
I blogged a couple of times about things i was Thankful for. I have come full circle back to someone very special to me. (again)The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Who is there to fear?
The Lord is my life's fortress.
Who is there to be afraid of?(Psalm chapter 27:verse 1.)
Exactly ......who must we fear,or who are we to be scared of? Wow!
Satan is alive and well in the world today,running to and fro in the world seeking who he can devour.And he reaches millions of people. He reaches leaders in our nations.
But God is more powerful,and the earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof.
All mankind,and every living thing is his creation. But.....do not believe the world when it says we are all his children. No we are not all his children. Only born again people are considered his children.Those that Have repented of their sins,because they have heard the Word of God preached,the Holy Spirit of God has convicted them of their sinful condition and they accept The one and only God and his son Jesus Christ and become believers.Daily reading the Holy Bible,praying ...talking to the Lord,cleans up our attitudes and humbles our hearts toward God.Nothing this world has to offer can deliver you eternal life.Only the redemption through the blood of Christ has the power to do that. If you feel unimportant is this life,do not fret. If you are saved God says you will reign with him forever and ever. Now that's important stuff.Be this way in your heart.(Psalm 27:4)I have asked one thing from the Lord.This i will seek:to remain in the Lord's house all the days of my life in order to gaze at the Lord's beauty and to search for an answer in his temple. He hides me in his shelter when there is trouble.He keeps me hidden in his tent.He sets me high on a rock.Now my head will be raised above my enemies
who surround me.I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy in his tent. I will sing and make music to praise the Lord.

BE THAT FAMILY.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving day,i did. I did something i haven't been able to do in years. I was invited to one of my small churches elderly family home. The food was so awesome,the fellowship was even better.I understand this man and his wife have been serving God for at least as long as i have been alive.Oh my goodness.Their home was so cozy,with pictures all over,their kids and their kids all over the place. And yet in the middle of the meal the elderly man seemed concerned their would not be a plate for his neighbor.His neighbor just lost his parents (that he lived with) and this precious brother who is 82 years old was very concerned for his neighbor.My goodness!!!!!! I remembered the Bible says love thy neighbor as thyself.By the way. This elderly host,has polio,has had a life time of it,and yet he has pastored many churches over his life time.
His wife is awesome as well.They both get around with walkers with wheels. They still drive to church 3 to 4 times a week. Oh my what an example. I've learned to love this family and i pray The Lord continue to use them in this world. They have great kids,and grandkids. The house was full and the food was great in taste and the amount.What is Thanksgiving in America? Oh to be born here and to worship the one and only living God.
But in our country we have strayed from actually caring about what the heavenly Father thinks about how we live our lives.He was very strict on the people of Israel.
He was involved in their social life,what they ate etc. Read the book of Leviticus chapter 20.Chapter 21 as well.
Oh my,where did the fear of the Lord go in this nation. Will he have to allow our ememies to over take us before we will bow our hearts knee to his wishes?Is it happening now?
Just look at the homosexual mess,the unlawfulness of so many. Look at the medias exploitation of all the evil and corruption going on in our government and in the streets.Ignoring the peaceful God fearing law abiding citizens of our nation.
Our media has become propaganda!Wow. But i assure you,The Almighty has his eyes upon the children of men. He will not strive forever with sinners. Time? Let me say this. He will do everything on HIS TIME not ours.Our lives to God are like moisture that is here then vanishes and then more moisture comes ,it vanishes and so on and so on.When you consider yourself today,CONSIDER God and what he likes and does not like. The family i visited yesterday makes it obvious they Love the Lord,and care about what he cares about.Be that family.

YOUR BABY BOY AND YOUNGEST CHILD.( I REMEMBER )
I know it's not mothers day....but i was thinking of someone i rarely mention.
This is to be under the heading of things i am thankful for.
MY MOTHER.Minnie Joe.Yep 10 years ago this Sunday she left us. She was a little bit of everything a person could be. She had a tender heart,a temper when pushed to far,and much to my young buck mind at the time of my youth(surprised) she was very smart.Something i remember about her...was how when you were gonna say something funny,or profound i can just picture her now,squinting her eyes ,her lips moving as i spoke as if she was repeating what i was saying.Those who knew her, will know what i am speaking of.I seemed to take it pretty well when she passed, but i was expecting it. It has been in the years since her passing that i miss her the most. Her cooking,her love for her kids her dogs,etc. She was a lot stronger person than some really knew. I promise you when she decided something,that was the way it was gonna be.No manipulation in her house.Her family was the ones most instrumental in my coming to the Lord.Her Dad and brother for sure.She had a very good sense of humor,but was careful with what she laughed at in front of her baby boy. (THAT'S ME)As all of us,she was not perfect. When i think of her faults,they quickly get drowned out by my love for my mother.I had a lot of history with her ,as a child and an adult. Yet i miss her so much these days. All the years i had with her i am thankful,and i hope she feels my heart break as i write about her.I see so much of her in me as i get older. Especially her determined personality. Oh my.... sometimes when i laugh or sound surprised i fined myself making the same noises she would make.Same facial expressions. So Mother its been a fast 10 years and i missed you and loved you for every single one of those years.AND I AM THANKFUL TO THIS DAY AND FOREVER FOR BEING YOUR BABY BOY AND YOUNGEST CHILD.
A MAN WITHOUT A SANDAL???
Here is more to discuss with family after dinner.
Jewish tradition was that when a man passed away his brother would marry his widow.
But just like in today's world i am sure there would be some opposition to that.Listen to this. If the Husbands brother refused to marry her,then they had a way to deal with that.
The widow must go to the leaders of the city,and tell them of her brother-in-laws refusal to marry her. She must say he does not wish to continue his brothers name in Israel by marrying her. Then the leaders summon him to stand before them and explain himself.
If he still resists then she is to take off one of his sandals and spit in his face! Then she has to speak these words."This is what happens to a man who refuses to continue his brothers family line"Then in Israel his family will be called the FAMILY OF THE MAN WITHOUT A SANDAL" Take that discussion on after you eat.(Deuteronomy chapter 25:verses 7-10)
**** footnote: I must tell you to read verse 5 to understand the exact meaning of it all.
HOW ABOUT THIS!
BRING THIS UP AT THE DINNER TABLE AT THANKSGIVING.
"When men are fighting and the wife of the man that's losing the fight tries to break the fight up by grabbing the other mans genitals,(DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 25:VERSE 11)Moses said to cut off her hand and do not pity her"
Man i'd love to hear all the remarks about that. Especially from the ladies.
Well anyway that's all i am going o write on the subject,except this. Don't be a prude or kill joy,and do not get mad about it. Just have some interesting dialogue.
THANKFUL
Good morning. And most of all Happy Thanksgiving!
Today i could write about all the blessings in life,given to me by the Lord himself but there is one and only ONE that i put my full faith and confidence in. The way the THE lORD
looked over me as a child,and made sure i was in a little church in Raleigh North Carolina in 1961 at Vacation Bible school. I heard about Jesus and his love.I heard about the Heavenly Father and his power to save lives from hurtful evil people. The three Hebrew children as they were once spoken of,and how The lord was in the midst of the fire with them.Not a hair on their heads was harmed. There are many stories like this . The story of King David as a child defeating Goliath when no one else would even attempt it.
Then as i grew up,and now have become an elderly man....many times over the years i did things my way. Yet i will say i never forgot the Lord. My trust and confidence in men was not very strong,but i knew the Lord was there all the time. Many family and friends prayed for me always,and yes i am grateful for that as well. But there is nothing like Jesus. The Jesus that knew me as a child,saved my soul,all this before any of my children
or children's children were here.And yes i am thankful for them as well.
I am also thankful for the word of God and the Holy Spirit that has been given me to guide me. The Father has never let me down....he is always there. ALWAYS. The Lord did not force me to believe anything,but he knew i would need him. I did!
I need him always and forever. There is nothing boring about living an obedient life for Christ.If anyone lives any other way,that is the boring get u know where life. So this morning i thank Jesus for all he has done in my life and i owe him an eternal amount of thanks. He is the reason i am saved,and able to enjoy living in the United States of America today. God bless all you today,pray for those who are needy today,heart broken and ill.

Be loyal.
What has God done for you in your life? Who have you prayed for and seen the miracle of Gods hand on their life? How many have prayed for people that have turned from The lord and gone their own way? Then one day you see and hear a change. The way they act,the way they dress,just the way they talk has changed.I know a man that was like that. I am that man.I bet there are many just like me,and many that have not turned to God yet.Are you out there and you act as if you have control,but really you don't. Your family seems to be falling apart,you don't feel secure with your jobs.Your health may be failing.
Listen up......it's futile to keep living that way."There is a way that seemeth right unto a man,but the end thereof are ways of death"(PROVERBS CHAPTER 14:VERSE 12 )
There is the reason you just can't find peace or satisfaction in trusting in mans way.In Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 39 shows us how Israel was reminded by Moses of all the blessings they had received,and that they better obey the commandments of the Lord their
GOD."REMEMBER AND NEVER FORGET THAT THE LORD IS GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE AND HERE ON EARTH"
This applies to all of us today that know the Lord. If we do things will end well for us and our descendants according to Gods word.Case in point......ME....MY descendants preached Jesus to me. They have been deceased now for a while and i have to confess that the lords promise in Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 39 has turned out to be correct. This excites me. Edifies me!
I serve the living God.The God that shows mercy yet does run out of patience with sin! I can tell you,that trusting God,(and you can take anything to him in prayer and he listens)And he will change who you are and your attitude and show you his ways. Praise him for letting us live.He will rescue you from harm and from your own self!
Read DEUTERONOMY chapter 4. Read all the amazing things God did for Israel! Praise him tonight for his blessings. Read that Bible,and pray.He is waiting on you! Let him change your life. Read verse 35 and 36. Be loyal to the Lord.

YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE,THAT LITTLE CHURCH OF PEOPLE.
When was the last time you really trusted Jesus with the most important part of your everyday life?What do we all know is the most valuable thing in our life?
Some do not mind saying it,some try to deny it,but WE all know we Must have it.I of course am speaking of money. It does not have to be money per say! It can be food,clothing,a vehicle(transportation)any thing we have to have to survive in this life.
From a Fleshly standpoint. You think Jesus does not care if we eat,or have our needs met?
Absolutely he does.But this message is not just for our survival in the flesh but our survival in the spirit.Chapter 6 of the book st. John. The LORD SEES lots of people coming toward him.Of course he knew already. He also knew they were following him because they had seen him heal the sick.Yet he was about to show us what can and will happen when we turn it all over to him.So he ask a question he already knew the answer to.Question was where in the world can we buy enough food to feed these (5,000) people. One disciple said it would take months of wages to buy enough food to feed them. Then another disciple spoke up and told Jesus about a little boy who had a small amount of food.He took that food ,told the disciple to have all the people sit down. They did.Jesus blessed the food,and all the 5 thousand ate till they were full.Then Jesus told them to gather up what was left and it filled 12 baskets.A few standouts here! Lack of Faith,always bless your food and the needs God blesses you with,Tithe your money and lastly......Then God will give you way over and beyond what you need. You say oh yea? Yes,it's right here. I know full well how hard it is to give away what i own and have worked for.I say give to God and his work and your entire life as a Christian will explode. Not always in the form of money,but WHATEVER your need is. Christ ,as in this story already knows what you have need of. Are you working and giving to your local church? If not Your robbing God and your own blessings.You say how can i rob God when he needs nothing i have?
God loves a cheerful giver.(2nd Corinthians 9:6-7) When you go to church and you should,that body of believers are meeting somewhere. That somewhere has expenses.Power bills ,water bills,literature for Sunday School,all activities no matter how simple or few,including the ability to fellowship with each other. Now brother or Sister...the Pastor deserves compensation for his hire. And its up to the members and deacons etc. to decide what. FYI: Hundreds of millions or even billions are spent for sports activities or hobbies in this world.So why punish a small body of believers that love you,would give you the shirts off their backs and make them have to close down. I say we should be ashamed. We must be born again for sure,and when we are try God and trust him with your life and money. No i am not a pastor and get no money from a church.....just a sinner saved by Grace and my desire is to see all BIBLE preaching and teaching and Jesus worshiping churches filled and filled with cheerful givers.When i give,i know my friend that i am pleasing my Lord. I also know i am being obedient.
I wish i had every wasted dollar i have ever had,back,so i could give to that little church of people i worship with 3 to 4 times a week.
Please read st. John chapter 6 verses 1- 15. Christ is the only way to eternal life. Not our material wealth.God bless.
OH....BUT YES IT IS.
Good morning.I awake this morning and i see the world news is not any better than it was last night. Oh but......yes it is!
Deuteronomy chapter 31:verse 6. An all knowing all loving,all merciful God,who spoke through his servant Moses,and boy did he ever speak through him. Moses was very nervous about speaking period and God had assured him he would speak for him. His Spirit would tell him what to say. He just wanted Moses to be obedient and do as He(the Lord) said.
Moses said a lot,and i want cover it all but touch on what God has said to me this morning.In my life this morning i have had my concerns about what a man as i could say or do.The Lord showed me this 6th verse of chapter 31."Be strong and of good courage,fear not,nor be afraid of them:for the Lord thy God ,he it is that doth go with thee;he will not fail thee,nor forsake thee"
Ya see we must all know that with God all things are possible,and without the leading of the HOLY SPIRIT of God we can do nothing.Look at that chapter 31 real close. See what an awesome Father we have.The Lord makes it clear that when he calls you to do something,he will go before you.The Lord said REMEMBER.....remember Pharaoh and what He (God) did unto him.Preachers look at chapter 30 verses 11,thru 14, Gods words are near you,in your mouth ,in your mind,and in your heart,so that you can do it.
So as you preachers or any lover of Christ struggle with fear,Do not! Keep pressing forward with the mission and the message God has clearly laid on your heart. Stay prayed up,and struggle with the Lord if necessary. Till you know for certain he is leading.I am in awe this morning when i read the stories of this awesome God i serve. Its not me .....its all about Jesus.When we realize our condition,our mortality,and then we look up into the face of Jesus,nothing ......i say nothing.....is greater than the Almighty power ...and mercy and love of our Lord.He is coming soon for me.....either by my death,or his return. When i think of that ,i am humble and everything pales in the face of that.

CAN YOU FEEL HIS SPIRIT AND HEAR HIS VOICE?
I must certainly say that the Lord has shown me in recent months,how satan is very alive and aware of my turning back to serve God.Things brought up to my face by satan that i cannot mention.His goal is to stop me from having the chance to influence for Christ.It has increased,yet i must press on!Chapter 22 of the book of Luke verse 31 reminds me that Satan desires to have my life and sift it.He almost demands of God to give it to him.Yet i am reminded also of John chapter 10:verses 14,11,and 5.I hear my Shepard,i know his voice,he gave his life for me,and best of all i will flee from Satans temptations,he is a stranger to my soul.I do not listen to strangers.Christ is the good Shepard and He is known by his sheep.Verses 3 and 4.....he calls me by my name,and i follow him for I know his voice.
DO YOU KNOW?
Many years ago while being led toward the Lord Jesus Christ by an uncle of mine i vividly recall him reading the following scripture to me.He saw me i am sure as a troubled young man. Not in trouble with the law,or trouble with drugs or alcohol or anything like that,but a young man with a troubled heart due to drama and trauma i had seen in my life.
So this chapter and book brings back precious memories and that in this last stage of my life it has popped back up in my heart again.
(St. John chapter 14.)
Let not your heart be troubled:ye believe in God,believe also in me. In my Fathers house are many mansions:if it were not so ,I would have told you.I go to prepare a place for you.And if i go and prepare a place for you,i will come again,and receive you unto myself;that where i am there ye may be also.And wither I go ye know,and the way ye know.Thomas said unto him,Lord,we know not wither thou goest;and how can we know the way?
Jesus saith unto him I am the way,the truth,and the life:no man cometh unto the Father,but by me.
While i love to read Gods word,study it and share and write about it,i Praise God that He made it easy for me to believe. To Trust,and obey him.Not always easy for me to obey,for i chose to go my own way entirely to much.Yet i know him,and in the sense he is talking about.He promised me in the beginning of my life and now in the end that he was preparing a place for me,and that he was coming back for me.He promised me i will be where he is.Thank you Jesus for letting me live this long,then reminding me that i am yours and you are the Fathers.You are the truth,the life....and the only way to Heaven. Do you know that? It's the most important thing anyone of us can know.You simply cannot live your life,then die without knowing for sure that Jesus is speaking to you in this passage.Please do not live or die in these perilous times without Jesus as your personal Savior.Nothing in or on this planet is worth that exchange.

HEARTS GREATLY MOVED.
HEARTS GREATLY MOVED! Wow....so many things to occupy a day in a mans life,yet nothing so stirring as reading the Holy Scriptures about the multiple personality of my Lord and Saviour. My my my......and They said to one another,were not our hearts greatly moved and burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and as He opened and explained to us the Scriptures? When you preach my brother....do the hearts of those believers stir and burn within them? I met such a man 1 year ago at the Easter service in Dothan Alabama at the Bethlehem Baptist Church. Wonderful follower of Christ,and a powerful preacher of the Gospel!His name is Bill Taylor.I hope he doesn't mind the mention. You need to hear him preach.Anyway his preaching can stir your heart.He preaches so powerfully about the grace of Christ,and it is clear he knows him personally.
In the book of Luke chapter 24 verses 30 thru 32 the disciples did not readily recognize Jesus,until he broke bread with them,and read the scriptures to them. Then......BOOM,there it was. They recognized the Lord.Oh how it stirred and burned their hearts! When the Holy Spirit reveals the Lord and his words to us the same thing occurs.
It's not natural but super natural. God lead more men into the study and preaching of your Word so that many more souls shall be saved. (AMEN)
POLLUTION BY HEATHENS.
Good morning....Friday already. The Lord is full of grace. But!
How long he will tarry,how much he will tolerate we do not know. But i know Jesus ,the Heavenly Father and Prayer. I know he hears me.
Therefore i am not a heathen. The definition of heathen i notice has words like unbeliever ,disbeliever,nonbeliever,atheist,agnostics,skeptic,etc.
The children of Israel many times were hard hearted towards God. Regarding not his commandments,not giving him respect for what all he had delivered them from.They also turned to the worldly idols of heathens. Sound familiar. Nothing wrong with some joy,some money and finding pleasure in the life God gave us! But,to love them more than you love the heavenly Father,and following the heathen atheist dogma,acting like unbelievers.
America was founded by men who worshiped the one true God.The one in the Holy Bible.
Pay no attention to pagans and agnostics and atheist who say otherwise. My words are easily proven.Yet in the past 20 years and especially the past 7 years The good old USA.has allowed its government to turn atheistic in its policies.Even redefining Gods own creation.Many church goers fall in the following catergory!
The book of Ezekiel chapter 23:verse 28,and verse 30.
For thus saith the Lord God;Behold ,I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest,into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:
Verse 30 "I will do these things unto thee,because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen,and because thou art polluted with their idols"
Oh my.....we as a nation should turn back to the God that allowed us to be formed. Who led our forefathers to come to America in search of religious freedom. And NO ,i am not talking freedom to worship a pagan God.I am speaking of Jesus Christ the son of God. The freedom to worship him. If you study european history and all the horrible persecution of any whorship other than Roman catholicism,you will clearly see the facts.
Back to the point.God is a loving forgiving God for sure,but there are many scriptures that give us a clear vision of how he can be when he has had enough.America......Repent!

Charles E. Jefferson 1860-1937.
It is the Pagan and not the Christian who shines in public and leaves undone the private duties which belong to him as an ordained Steward of the son of God"Charles E. Jefferson 1860-1937.
He may be a good preacher-and preaching is definateltly important to pastorial work-and he may be a good organizer,BUT if he is not maintaining
A personal interest in the flock,he is not fulfilling his divine calling.It is weaklings and not giants,who neglect their people.More words from CHARLES E JEFFERSON.A pastors job is very hard.He truly must be called of God to do this.Just merely being of an humble nature does not make one a Pastor.Very aggressive men have been great Pastors,and very humble men have made very great evangelist! But Mr. Jefferson was correct,you must have a passion for his flock.He feeds,leads,and protects his flock. (That was my words)
Maybe i or someone will free of charge tackle the art of being a good follower.

BE THAT MAN!
But the lord is with me as a mighty terrible one:therefore my persecutors shall stumble,and they shall not prevail:they shall be greatly ashamed;for they
shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. (JEREMIAH CH.20:11)
This morning and all thru the day,be the kind of Christian that men can come to you and say as in the 21st chapter of Jeremiah verse 2....Enquire ,i pray thee,of the Lord for us.Be the man that can claim the 11th verse of the 20th chapter.

THOU ART THE MAN!!!!!
Good morning from America!God bless you all and more importantly give him praise this morning.He is God and creator of all things that are created.To serve and love THE GOD SO POWERFUL YET SO MERCIFUL!
Most all mankind has read or heard of King David in the Holy Bible.How at an early age he slew Goliath by having faith in God. When no one else would fight the giant,the boy David
said send me. I will go fight. Wow! We also know the story of how David became King and yet while he was told that he must kill King Saul while he had the chance,but David refused. We later read of Davids lust getting the best of him when he saw a naked women sunbathing,the women was married and he took her to be his wife.She was with child and we remember David summoned the women's husband back from the battlefield to try and make it look as if the child would belong to him. The husband being loyal to his men refused to lay with his wife.Then David up'd the game of deceit by ordering the husband to the front lines of the battlefield. King David knew this was certain death for the women's husband.
The Lord sent Nathan the prophet to speak with David and David was willing to kill any man capable of doing something like this.Then Nathan said "DAVID" thou art the man.
Well most of us know that story. Then the Lord took over and in verses 8,9,10,11,12.of the book of 2nd Samuel,the Lord reminded David of exactly what he had done for him,then reminded David of what he(David )had done.He told him the sword shall never depart from thy house.He also told David he would take what he had given to him and give it away.He also told David his sins would be repaid in public,even though David had done his sin in secret.God can give us blessings and take them away,and the consequence can last for the remainder of our lives.Yet.....watch this.....the merciful God comes out. God will and must judge sin ,he still loves us.He can forgive.Verse 24 of the book of 2nd Samuel "And David comforted Bathsheba his wife,and went in unto her: and she bare a son,and called his name Solomon: and the Lord loved him"
Oh my how can we as sinners not see how this all knowing God,is yet all loving.As we reflect on our own sin,our own past,and then let the Holy Spirit of God deal with us. He says to us......i love you,i love you,i love you.We continually hurt him yet he continually loves us.

Good morning,this morning.....i just read a little of the biograpghy of the apostle Peter.Wow.Luke chapter 5 verse 8.Awesome.This is usually the reaction to the site of Christ in action.
I know that when i see Christ as he is,i see myself
As i am.And i like Peter know without a doubt i'm not good enough to be in the presence of God.Yet we know he gives grace to the humble and resist the proud! I declare we must humble ourselves to the Christ of the Holy Bible. He is coming back as judge.....and he is bringing saints with him.Oh my...the Bible says every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Christ is Lord.Only by then it will be to late to be redeemed.May the Holy Spirit keep us humble. (AMEN)

Good tuesday morning.This morning i remind you of a very important fact.St. Luke chapter 18:verses 24 thru 27.
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye,than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
And they heard it said,Who then can be saved?
And he said,The things that are impossible with men are possible with God.
These few words from Jesus,are some of the most important we need to know.Any time you count yourself out,your done,God is not.Don't trust your own judgement.....get alone with God,give it to him.Men when financially successful,see no need for
A saviour.Usually.But this is while they are having
Spells of arrogance.As soon as disaster hits,their attitude usually changes.Thats not a bad thing.Of course i encourage them to follow Christ regardless of their status in life.While we know Christ states how difficult is is for the rich to enter the kingdom but notice he did not say it was impossible.Because with Gods intervention all things are possible.

But guess what? They always have been.Do not allow their hate and ugly words and their scoffing

So get up,clean up,dress up,go to a little church some where,Worship God,stop worshipping yourself,Receive Christ and live.GOD loves you and wants whats best for you.If your lost,become a new creation in Christ Jesus (2nd Corinthians chapter 5:verse 5:17)
