WAXING COLD.

Good afternoon on what looks to be a spring day. Very nice.But regardless the issue of the human spirit still is number one.So much evil and so much strange weather.Wars and rumors of wars.The book of Matthew chapter 24 tells the story in more detail.So so much of whats in this chapter is happening already.The one thing that says it all,and upsets me the most,yet gives me some comfort through explanation,is the 12th verse.Read it...... And because iniquity shall abound ,the love of many shall wax cold.This one subject is at the very heart of the breakup of the American home.Atheism grows and makes people selfish all about themselves.Its a religion all its on.The belief in oneself.The belief man can do all things. And i agree,that includes creating all the perilous times we have to endure.The best times to hear God,and to study him,and talk to him,are times like i have right at this moment.Our leaders in government do not lead us in this direction.In fact most never include God in their decisions and when they are elected they do as they please.Seems to be no sympathy for those in pain. No one wishes to hear about it.People love their sins,therefore their love for others waxes cold.Only a serious attempt to communicate with the Lord will begin to head us in the right direct.When we repent the Holy Spirit will show us our lack of love.Study this one tiny verse,dwell on it,memorize it,because it can transform your opinion of why people treat each other the way they do. Then pray for each other.

SHOOK MY FIST IN THE FACE OF GOD.AND WON.

Everyone by pure sinful nature has stress in their life. They may not wish to admit that...but it is true. Stress comes and stress goes.Usually caused by our own doing,or at least someones doing.Take for example Jacob in the book of Genesis.You see people have to live. Regardless of how we try to avoid certain situations the situations find us anyway. I love stories of ordinary men who trusted the Lord.Yet in some cases took some matters in their own hands.Jacob and Laban made a truce with each other,after some distress after some trickery by Jacob.I will ask you to read this messy situation in the book of Genesis chapter 31.In chapter 32 Jacob did something we all can do.Jacob admitted(confessed)he was not worthy of Gods love,and he was thankful for all God had blessed him with.And then he reminded God of his promises.When your in distress over ...ANYTHING.....Give it to God in prayer.Search the scriptures for Gods promises. Claim them. I mean in private talk to the heavenly Father and he will reward you in the open.Its easy to go to church and pray openly,and that's okay.But i assure you that God honors his word.In the story of Jacob you see clearly the human and the Faith he has in God. The key in all this is prayer. Talking with the heavenly Father.And sometimes we must wrestle with God.Verses 22 through 32.Oh may i be brave enough,strong enough to wrestle with God over my desires and needs. Have you ever begged and begged God for something in your life...then God gave it to you and it ended badly? I have.I loved someone so deeply one time that i shook my fist in the face of God and then he gave me my trouble.Oh how i loved that trouble. Even to this day. I now am living a blessed life that God through his mercy has given me.He saved me from my own desire.And i have grown closer to my Lord because he has opened my eyes to see.I know i am rambling on and on but what is placed on my heart is what i write at this time. I am so proud that my Heavenly Father,through Jesus Christ with his infinite mercy saved from the constant pain of my own sin.And has so much mercy on me that he shows so much patience with me. Reading about Jacob shows me how merciful our Lord is,and how understanding he is.God GAVE Jacob A NEW NAME." HE STRUGGLES WITH GOD" Let him give you that name. He loves us that much.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

1st Timothy chapter 3 The saying is true and irrefutable: If any man eagerly seeks the office of Bishop that is a superintendent or overseer He desires an excellent task. Now a bishop or superintendent overseer must give no grounds for accusation but must be above reproach, the husband of one wife circumspect and temperate and self-controlled he must be sensible and well behaved and dignified and lead an orderly disciplined life he must be hospitable which means showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners and be a capable qualified teacher. Not given to Wine not combative but gentle and considerate not quarrelsome but for bearing and peaceable, and not a lover of money meaning having an insatiable appetite for wealth and ready to obtain it by question remains. He must rule is own household well, keeping his children under control, with true dignity, commanding their respect in every way and keeping them respectful. For a man does not know how to rule is on household how is he to take care of the Church of God? He must not be a new convert, or he may develop a clouded and stupid state of mind as a result of pride being blinded by conceit and fall into the condemnation that the devil once did. Reference Isaiah chapter 14 vs 12 thru 14. Furthermore they must have a good reputation and be well thought of by those outside the church. Lest he become involved in slander and incur approach and fall into the devil's trap. In like manner the Deacons must be worthy of respect, not shifty and double talkers but sincere and what they say not given to much wine not greedy for base gain which means craving wealth and resorting to ignoble and dishonest methods of getting it. They must possess the mystic secret of the faith which means Christian truth as hidden from ungodly men. With a clear conscience. And let them also be tried and investigated and proved 1st then if they turn out to be above reproach let them serve as deacons. The women likewise must be worthy of respect and serious not gossipers but temperate and self-controlled thoroughly trustworthy in all things. Let deacons be husbands of but one wife, and let them manage their children and their own households well. For those who perform well as deacons acquire a good standard for themselves and also gained much confidence and freedom and boldness in the faith which is founded on in Christ Jesus. I must say way too many men do not pray and study these first 13 vs of the third chapter of 1st Timothy. Seems like a pretty tall task for any man, but it can be done. I feel these are not just prequalifications for being a deacon but qualifications that must continue throughout this person's life as they serve as a deacon. I'm sure the Apostle Paul knew there's no perfect man, but these are the points that we all should look for in selecting a deacon. And I must add.... To keep a deacon a deacon!

I IN THEM AND AND YOU IN ME.

Jesus Christ speaking in the book of John chapter 17 starting with verse 24 going through verse 26. I quote... Father I desire that day also whom we have entrusted to me as your gift to me may be with me where I am, so that they may see my glory, which you have given me for you loved me before the foundation of the world. Oh just and righteous father although the world has not known you and has failed to recognize you and has never acknowledge you I have known you continually and these men understand and know that you have sent me verse 26 I have made your name known to them and revealed your character and your very self and I will continue to make you known that the love with you have bestowed upon me maybe in them felt in their hearts that I myself maybe in them. These words were words to the Heavenly Father by Jesus Christ himself. The words in verse 25 can apply also to all believers whose faith is in Jesus Christ. When Jesus said these men understand and know that you have sent me. Then Jesus goes on and says that understanding the character and God's very self is essential for those of faith. Jesus said he will continue to let it be known that the love he has is from the father and that he desires this love to be felt in the hearts of men and women everywhere. Studying and reading the Bible and praying are the most important elements of everyone's life. Yes they are very private but yet the Bible teaches they must become public. In these above scriptures we see that Jesus declare he would continue to share this information, and so must we. I must say as a footnote that it stirs my heart to hear Jesus speak of me as an entrusted gift. With everything going on in the world today, everything going on in each of our worlds today, being a servant believer in faith, is the only thing that will last till the end, and then go forward throughout eternity. God has graced us with many believers who have served the church of Jesus Christ as well as government. The ones that are now gone may God have mercy on their souls and may we live up to the high standards they espouse to us all. Amen

THE DAY IS COMING.

Good morning, but all the times and seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. But you brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. We are all the children of light, and the children of the day, we are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as the others but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and foreign helmet, the hope of salvation. For God has not appointed us to rat, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Where for comfort yourselves together and edify one another even as also you do. These words came directly from the King James Version of the Holy Bible chapter 5 of first Thessalonians vs 1 through 11. This is the model walk that all Christians should walk. But let's not use this as a tool to judge people. Let's all work individually to live this way as much as is possible. These truths are the foundation given to us by the Apostle Paul as a foundation to begin our Christian life and walk. I want to add a footnote to judge a situation, a certain walk of life, and attitude, is very difficult to accomplish without stepping over too far into a person's salvation. We must be careful. I know firsthand how difficult this is. May God be with you and may God be with all of us as we endeavor to serve our Lord honestly reverently and holy, recognizing that we are sinners still... Saved by grace, we are not yet perfect as he is perfect but that day is coming. God bless and have a very blessed day.

God's blessed promises!

I am going to read from the Amplified Bible, instead of my King James Version which I dearly love. I feel this amplified version patiently enhances the meanings of the King James Version. Verse 1 do not let your hearts be troubled, meaning distressed agitated, you believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God, believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on me. In my father's house there are many dwelling places homes, if it were not so I would have told you for I am going away to prepare a place for you. And when I go and make ready a place for you I will come back again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And to the place where I'm going you know the way. Then Thomas said to him, Lord, we did not know where you are going, so how can we know the way? Jesus said to him, I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by or through me. Verse 7 if you had known me had learned to recognize me, you would also have known my father. From now on you know him and have seen him. Philip said to him, Lord, show us the father, cause us to see the father that is all we ask then we shall be satisfied. Jesus replied, have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father how can you see then show us the father? Do you not, believe that I am in the father and that the Father is in Me? What I am Telling You I do not stay on my own authority and on my own accord but the father who lives continually in me does the works, his own miracles deeds of power. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me or else believe me for the sake of the very works themselves. If you cannot trust me, at least let these words that I do in my father's name convince you. Verse 12 IRC are you most solemnly I tell you if anyone steadfastly believes in Me he will himself be able to do the things that I do and he will do even greater things than these because I go to the Father. I want to skip 2 vs 16 No let's make that verse 15. If you really love me you will keep obey my commands. And I will ask the Father and he will give you another comforter meaning a counselor helper intercessor advocate strengthener and standby, that he may remain with you forever the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive meaning they cannot welcome or take to its heart, because it does not see him or know and recognize him, for he lives with you constantly and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans meaning comfortless desolate relieved forlorn helpless, I will come back to you. Just a little while now and the world will not see me anymore but you will see me because I live you will live also. At that time when that day comes you will know for yourselves that I am in my father. And you are in me, and I am in you. So as this is a very long chapter to read in order to post on my blog, I will encourage you to read the entire book of John. Especially the fourteenth chapter. As I have lived I have finally seen through spiritual eyes what the Lord was trying to say. It took me over 50 years but now I see I just decided to order those gracious words from verse 28. You heard me tell you, I am going away and I'm coming back to you if you really love me you would have been glad, because I am going to the Father for the father is greater and mightier than I am verse 29 and now I have told you this before it occurs so that when it does take place you may believe and have faith in and rely on me. These are the gracious words and promises of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless

MY HEART IS OPENED TO THE BOOK OF JOHN.

WARS and rumors of wars on and on and on.Greed on one hand,government control and the government dole on the other hand. Trouble trouble trouble. What is a man to do?As a young kid about 12,my uncle knew i had insecurity about being loved and where to live.Raised in an alcoholic home and running away at the age of 15. Back that up! My uncle would sit with me and talk,and he read me JOHN CHAPTER 14. WOW. do not let your heart be troubled.My next blog will describe in more detail.Immediately following this i on my own visited a church just up the street where my uncle had once attended.I listened to people,testify. Some talking of burdens on their hearts,and battles they were in. They spoke of the victory Christ had given them.Oh my!I wasn't ready to be public,so i heard scripture read about doing alms in secret. How you can pray to the Heavenly Father in secret and he will reward you in the open.I went and prayed by the toilet(with the lid down)Ask God to save me in the name of Jesus Christ.Just in case he did not i'd have and out.You know what i mean.Suddenly i felt a need to declare my salvation openly. So i began to preach.Soon my uncle was so shocked he began to take me around to various church members and let them hear this transformation in this kid. I must say,it was not difficult to just start spouting Jesus.Was not long,old real life of growing up set in.My Bible in my hand and the HOLY SPIRIT IN MY HEART,OUT OF MY MOUTH CAME THE WORDS.That was 1965.I must confess the 14th chapter of John has held a special place in my heart.I know now that i did not understand completely what it mean't but i knew i believed whatever it said.So now i would like to quote it some 50 plus years later.I will do this in my next blog.I thank my uncle for leading me to Christ.For taking time to be aware of my fears and needs.He has been gone since 1970. In 1977 i named my oldest and first child after him.I never want this act of love to be ever ever forgotten. So i pass it down to my children,and hopefully them to their children.I am a grandfather now,yet i feel the Lord reminding me.....WAYNE SON,I STILL REMEMBER! Nothing can take that from me.The blessings and grace bestowed upon me,i can never repay to Christ.Its all about Jesus and not about me.Millions of young people out there today,are in need of this kind of help and knowledge. The world gets worse and worse,yet the love and protection of JESUS CHRIST my Lord stays forever the same.I shutter and stir in my soul,when i hear or read words such as 'YOU HEARD ME TELL YOU' words of Jesus to all of us,i realize how much i love him.So i will exit and begin to read some of the 14th chapter of the book of John.

FOOTNOTE.TO PREVIOUS BLOG.

Proverbs chapter 10 beginning with verse 23. This is an extended footnote to my previous blog. Now reading, it is sport to a self-confident fool to do wickedness but to have skillful and Godly wisdom is pleasure and relaxation to a man of understanding. Verse 24, the thing a wicked man fears shall come upon him, but the desire of the uncompromisingly righteous shall be granted. When the whirlwind passes the wicked are no more, but the uncompromising righteous have an everlasting foundation.

MOST COMMON OF COMPLAINTS...AND IMMEDIATELY HE DID!

Most common complaints about church meeting and fellowship issues. Control over people. Deacons and trustees who lead without having a pulse on ALL members.Music war departments.Deacons who apparently have no real understanding of the duty of their office.Trustees acting like deacons,deacons like trustees.Pastor having to baby sit and settle things down.In all this i and my family have to duck down and dodge bullets while the combatants wage war.What to do? Pick up my Bible and cry out to God,the God who saved me by his grace,and tell him"YOU HANDLE IT LORD" Trust me.....when lost people are about to die,this will be no excuse accepted by Christ at judgement.You must do something about JESUS. While the above comments are real,oh my........do not leave Jesus out of it.Put him up front.Teach and preach the truth of the entire gospel.The entire personality of the ALMIGHTY.He died on the cross for our sin. He is coming back as the judge of that sin.Be angry and sin not. For the past 2 weeks i have been exactly that. I have almost blown a fuse.I just bowed my head,and ask in JESUS NAME,to handle it!Tell me what to say.And immediately he did.

Obscuring counsel by words. But now I see.

Then Job said to the Lord I know that you can do all things and that no thought or purpose of yours can be restrained or thwarted. You said to me who is this that darkens and oh my goodness obscures Council by words words without knowledge? Therefore I now see I have rashly uttered what I did not understand things too wonderful for me which I did not know and a reference to this scripture job chapter 38 verse 2. I am reading from job chapter 42 verses one through six. I had virtually said to you what you have said to me here, I beseech you and I will speak I will demand of you and you declare to me. I had heard of you only by the hearing of the ear but now my spiritual eyes see you therefore I lose my words and abhor myself and repent in dust and ashes. oh my goodness how many times must we be guilty of the same thing, speaking without full knowledge but then God touches our heart and opens our spiritual eyes and we see. When we attend church or Bible studies and the Word of God is being taught or preached we never know who has ears to hear. We never know when the Holy Spirit will touch someone's heart convict them of sin humble them and that warm feeling of God's holiness enters their hearts and then their blinders drop off. This single event can totally transform a person's thought process and their life. Keep this in mind... It is not our responsibility or our ability to save a persons soul. But it is our responsibility to stay focused on God's Word and what the Lord wants to lead us to do or to say, to preach or what to teach. It's our responsibility to plant the seed and the Lord will give the increase. THE LORD said that if we do this His Word will not return unto him avoid. We have to trust him. The battle is his. Amen

AS I WATCH.

Good morning, This Morning America needs a new president a true leader a man of accomplishments and yes those accomplishments must be the correct type of accomplishments. As one reads and studies the Word of God the Holy Bible, you cannot help but see the greatest mistake made by millions of citizens of this country. As I watch the media yesterday in New Hampshire I noticed some of the comments about people's personal lives and the issues that were important to them. At first I was somewhat startled by the reasons some people had for voting for certain people. One man made a comment about his son was gay and his daughter was for Hillary or something to that effect. As he was laughing and smiling as though it was normal, he said quote so you see I'm very sensitive about the stance candidates take on homosexual issues and women's issues unquote. I could not help but think about the neglect that these children have had all their lives. What kind of a father who actually loves his children but has no concern for their soul. While I understand that providing for the financial needs of your children are very critical, I AM reminded of the biblical scripture quote, what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world but lost his own soul. Then I remember that the scripture in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 11 starting over 16 quote take heed to yourselves that your heart be not deceived and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them.vs 17 and then the Lords wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit, and less you perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you. Verse 18 therefore shall you lay up these my words and your heart and in your soul and bind them for A sign upon your hand, that they May Be as frontlets between your eyes. Verse 19 and you shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou finished in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way,when thou liest down,and when thou riseth up. I will stop reading at this point for right now. These commands of the Almighty God definitely are not being obeyed by so many generations of Americans. As we watch and listen to all the opinions of people in the news, from the voters and sadly enough from candidates wanting to lead this great nation of the United States of America. The Bible clearly says that our future is in us as individuals. What's my point? My point is this first we must decide what to do with Christ, before we can adequately decide what man leads this nation. I'm not advocating a preacher for president, but these candidates who decide our fate are in for a rude awakening and a huge humbling affect, due to the power and the responsibilities being born out from that awesome job. God himself is watching those who wish to be our leader, and no matter how arrogant they may be, they may choose their path, but God will direct their steps. God bless and have a great day.

SOUPER BOWL NIGHT?

In the year that king Uzziah died.Oh how that gets my attention.Back in i believe,1974 i had the honor of attending a meeting (as he would call it)Brother Leonard Ravenhill was conducting.Isaiah chapter 6 was his topic.As he spoke,the Holy Ghost was clearly descending upon us.Oh my,now i see it clearly.I see clearly the salvation story in this message.Isaiah sees in a vision,the throne of Almighty God.He sees his power,his majesty,his powerful angels.He hears them cry to each other Holy holy holy.Wow.Then guess what happens after Isaiah sees all this? Verse 5 of chapter 6.He sees himself as he truly is.He realizes he is so messed up.So unclean,unworthy,and his very words are unclean.And guess what he realizes next? Oh my he sees he dwells in the midst of people with unclean lips.My understanding is that once we see (spiritually)How Pure and sinless,and Holy, God is,trust me,salvation is knocking at your door.God finds us,and in this case a seraphim(Angel)took a live coal from the alter,placed it on Isaiahs lips. This purged him of his sin.Then....oh my goodness....the best thing of all.Isaiah hears THE voice of the Lord saying,Whom shall i send and who will go for us?Then quickly Isaiah said here am i;send me.Read this chapter in the book of Isaiah and let the Lord speak to your heart.I can only imagine people who are saved,seeing the Lord for the first time.But i can also see those lost Seeing him in his Holy splender.He is coming back To get those of us that are saved,what a glorious day.But a horrible moment for those that rejected him.If your not born again,please i pray,God will powerfully reveal himself to you.He is standing at your hearts door knocking.Please i plead for you to open that hearts door and let him come in.GOD Bless.Our church service starts in about 15 mins. Then after that Souper bowl fellowship after that. Yes i said SOUP.

A MEASURING ROD FOR OTHER PEOPLE?

Good morning, in the words of the famous Oswald Chambers a very godly man with a good sense of humor and a reverence for the Word of God. You can never give another person that which you have found, but you can make him homesick for what you have. If we are saved and sanctified, God guides us by our ordinary choices come and if we are going to choose what he does not want, he will check, and we must heed. Every doctrine that is not imbedded in the cross of Jesus will lead astray. Stop having a measuring rod for other people. There is always one fact more in every man's case about which we know nothing. It takes a long time to realize the danger of being an amateur Providence, that is, interfering with God's order for others. Our Lord's first obedience was to the wheel of his father, not to the needs of men the saving of men was the natural outcome of his obedience to the Father. Oswald Chambers also said the following, the snare in Christian work is to rejoice in successful service, to rejoice in the fact that God has used you... If you make usefulness the test, then Jesus Christ was the greatest failure that ever lived. The lodestar all the saint is God himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that counts, not what we do for him. My personal challenge when I speak or write, is to highly encourage all people of all races and nationalities to first be born again turn your life over to Jesus and as you do this you will want others to do the same, and you will begin to see other people the way Jesus sees other people. You will want what's best for all people. That best is not the fruits of evil and sin, but instead all the fruits and blessing of being covered by the blood of God's great sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord.

IN GOOD COMPANY.

Today a very special reminder to the congregations of born again Christians in all walks of life. This message is from the Apostle Paul written to the Galatians. Paul said o foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, receive you the spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministers to you the spirit, and working miracles among you, does he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? The point being here, that the gift of the Spirit is by faith not by law or works. Keep this in mind as you sit in a church pew or Sunday School class. These people are ministering to us the spirit. We owe them respect because just like us they do this by having faith in the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. In today's world of churches there seem to be many who were absent from class, I'm just kidding, but once they made a profession of faith that was it. Studying the Word of God at home, or going to Sunday school class studying lessons in the Bible, with rituals. Which in effect pervert the gospel by replacing it with rituals. What I'm saying is rituals are not teaching you the personality of the Heavenly Father or His Son Jesus Christ. Some in today's church are very liberal in their teachings, some are too stern. Remember we didn't receive the Spirit of God through our rituals. But by faith and what we know have heard and have been told about Christ. If this sounds too simple, then blame the Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians and the Holy Bible. I happen to agree with it and I'm in great company. God bless have a blessed day.

BEYOND MEASURE.

Galatians chapter 1 beginning with verse 10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? 4 if i yet please men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Verse 11 but I certify you, brethren that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. Verse 12 for I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Verse 13 for you have heard of my conversation in times past in the Jewish religion how that beyond measure i persecuted the Church of God and wasted it: verse 14 and profited in the Jews religion above many equals in mine own nation being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. Verse 15 but when it please God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, verse 16 to reveal his son in me, that I might reach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. This is the Apostle Paul explaining clearly where is power derives, as he confesses that we all know he was before his conversion a persecutor of born again Christians. My friends I must say, this has nothing to do with politics but much to do with where we will spend eternity when we pass away from this earth. In politics we find sometimes a feeling of hope. A feeling a hope that the candidate we vote for will have our best interest at heart. But that is all expectations of men. Paul makes it clear in this scripture that are hope is in eternal salvation from Jesus Christ our Lord. We all have histories of wrongdoing bad behavior ugly words anger on and on and on! Yet Just as Paul our hope must truly be in the words of our Lord and Savior and the gospel he allowed the disciples and/or apostles 2 pen down for all of us. Being born again is not a community activity. It is a very private and personal event that actually occurs in individuals when they call out to Christ to forgive them their sins then they repent and follow Jesus as best as they can. As we gather together in our churches in our Bible studies we must all remember as the Apostle Paul said that this is not of the flesh. It is given to us by the Holy Spirit of God himself. As I write these words my heart stirs within me thinking about the salvation, the eternal salvation of the believer. Nothing we do can earn this privilege it's already been paid for by the death of Christ on the cross. Remember these words the Apostle Paul also wrote in the book of Galatians. Verse 6 and 7 of chapter 3." Even as Abraham believe God and it was accounted unto him for righteousness. Verse 7 knowing you there for that they which are of faith the same are the children of Abraham. God is our hope not man. In every walk of our life we must confirm with Christ the creator of all things all things that creep on this earth all things that breathe. He has the answer and he starts with each one of us individually. My flesh, your flesh availing nothing but misery heartache anger envy strife things that are not profitable for us. When entire political parties advocate and push agendas that are against what is good for humans, and they openly remove God, the one true God, the father of Jesus Christ, our Heavenly Father, from their platform comments then when elected legalize sin in the highest degree! Woe be unto them. Then they make plans to persecute by the law godly principles and those that follow them. Stand up stop being cowardly and make sure that the life you are living for is worth dying for. As we should note the Founding Fathers of the United States of America put their very lives and fortunes on the table in order to form this union call the United States of America. God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

A perverted gospel?

The Apostle Paul in the book of Galatians chapter 1 starting with verses 6 through 9. I marvel that you are soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ on to another gospel which is not another but there be some that trouble you and would pervert the gospel of Christ.But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel until you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed as we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel and unto you that you have received, let him be accursed. I must say that this was the Apostle Paul speaking of about, or speaking to a church that it already been followers of Christ led there by Pa byul himself. He had found on his return that they were listening to various different versions all the gospel. He was not happy with what he found so he extended these words in a letter to them. I write these words in my blog to make a point to my Christian Brothers & Sisters concerning the elections in the United States of America. I'm just making a comparison and a point. Please stop perverting the gospel of Jesus Christ for political purposes. I find this very prevalent among Christian attackers all the candidate Donald J Trump. I feel this scripture I have quoted has been a perfect example of how Christians sometimes just make things up in their heads. They do this struggling to make God's Word fit their own narrative. This scripture is not being twisted by the in any fashion, it's just simply to show that we should render unto God the things that are God and to Caesar the things that are Caesar's. While God has His hands in the affairs of men, there is a distinct difference. That's why i vote for the best person I think can do what's best for America. Mr trumps immigration views do not mean he hates people. As he has said either we have a border or we do not, do we have a country or do we not. The Democrat view that you're a hater a bigot racist just because you want to secure our borders and protect our nation from outsiders coming in committing crimes against our nation, does not make him an evil man. I feel that some of my Christian Brothers & Sisters have hid behind Donald trumps comments about Christianity or should I say about his personal comments about himself and Christianity, by perverting the gospel using it to push the narrative that we as Christians should never vote for a man or woman that does not hold our views about our Lord. This is wrong, and I have been the object all dis ploy. As I am sure many others have as well. So let's just stop doing that. So God bless and vote Donald Trump 2016. Don't just talk about it get out there and and stop for Trump.

I Am.

Good morning the day after an election in the Great State of Iowa.Just as in almost all previous elections in Iowa,The winner most likely will not be the Republican nominee.The media in America is nothing more than Propaganda.Every single thing they say nice about you,they will surely stick a knife in your back the minute you turn around. America obviously has way to many low information voters.I am ashamed to say this. Deceit is rampant,and i see it in of all places,the Christian vote.Listen up,when i need a heart doctor i don't ask my tax person to take the job. Also i don't appreciate candidates that get nothing done in Washington acting as if they are the answer to the problem.I don't want a governor that is responsible for the death of a human being,blocking them from crossing the GW bridge while in an ambulance.The same candidate had photo opps with President Obama 2 weeks before the 2012 election.This candidate now bashes Obama constantly.The winner of the Iowa caucus speaks with a Godly tongue in Iowa,and conservatism becomes his god in every other state.Rubio spews out in Iowa about his faith and i am proud for him,but his senate record is just plain aweful. He talks tuff but caves in to high profile Democrats.The rest of them just go home. Trump supporters need to stop yapping at home and get out and vote. The problem i see with Trumps swelling support is that there are way to many non voters pulling for him,yet to lazy to get out and vote.So get off your butts and go do it.Millions of you know who i am talking about.South Carolina...listen up,do not let the real race baitors in your state win choose your choice.And these guys are not all one color.They will play on your emotions so they can keep control.Rubio- establishment,Cruz ESTABLISHMENT.Here is the narrative in the media,CRUZ WINS BIG(a lie) Rubio almost beats Trump(not true.) The delegate count has Cruz with 8,Trump and Rubio with 7. Hey this is fun.Trump people,get those people who sit at home and vote from home to get registered and vote for Trump.I am.

Reverent or irreverent that is the question? is it profitable?

What kind of a man or woman do you want to be? Or should I say what kind of a person do you want to change yourself to be? Or are you satisfied with the way you are? I like to feel I'm a man who is comfortable in his own skin yet, the conviction of the Holy Spirit upon my heart, can make me take Pause and realize I am nothing can be nothing without the Lord Jesus Christ living and ruling in my heart! Some men are very reverent somewhat rigid and some are,seen as walking a little off the beaten path. Yet you can still be used of God and God does use men and women that are that way. Such as a man named Oswald Chambers born 1874 died 1917. Chambers gave himself totally to the Lord and he had a great sense of humor. I've been to church before when I was told to lighten up, then I've actually been shunned by those who didn't care for my sense of humor. The world may tell you to be yourself but I say ask the Heavenly Father in Jesus name to guide you to take your personality and use it for the glory of God. Sometimes the Holy Spirit is like a govern on an engine, it slows you down. Sometimes it acts like a throttle a gas pedal and speeds you up, but I will assure you, you will be secure in your skin. The point of this story is that we're all wired differently, not an excuse to do the wrong thing or misbehave.But make sure what you do is profitable for the gospel of Jesus Christ. You are not going to please everybody, that's why you must be led by the Spirit of God and obey what he wants you to do and obey what he says for you to do.

Be erratic and set yourself free?

Oswald Chambers born 1874 died 1917. He was a man it was introduced as the apostle of haphazard. But just like the wind spoken of in John chapter 3 verse 8, chambers came and went in a seemingly erratic fashion: yet there was a definite plan in his life and it was greatly used of God. Taken from a short story about his life. Something else to notice about Oswald Chambers, he once felt the need for a Bible College in Britain. With the help of some friends he open this college the school operated on faith and prayer. A friend offered to end of the school, yet chambers refused the offer. He said no. If you and do it will probably last longer then God means it to. Have you ever just felt that you have overstayed your welcome? If so do not fret he has happened to the very best in the history of the church. Having this understanding as brother Oswald Chambers did, will free you to do as God has led you!
