What will you do?

September 4, 2013

“Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.”
Ronald Reagan
Our freedoms are being taken away everyday in the USA. Now a few people want to take under God out of our Pledge of Allegiance. Wake up Americans. It is time we stand up and tell these atheists and others who do not love America, do not love God to either shut up or get out.
Our country was founded on Christian principles and preachers did preach about political issues of the day. It is time we get back to speaking out against ungodly ideas. We can write our political leaders and tell them how we feel. They work for us, not the other way around. What will you do?

What gives you joy?

August 31, 2013

Psalms 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life:
in thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
True joy is knowing Jesus and following Him.

The Holy Spirit

August 26, 2013

“The Holy Spirit is God, and is equal to the Father and the Son. He is God the Holy Spirit, and is distinct from the Father and the Son. In the Genesis account of creation, He is seen actively engaged in the work of creation, along with the Father and the Son. In the Old Testament, He empowered men for service; but, when they were disobedient, He departed from them.”
To do the rest of the Bible Study on the Holy Spirit see lesson 4.

Precious promise

August 25, 2013

1 John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Poem from a 3 year old

August 18, 2013

Children are a blessing from The Lord and today The Lord reminded me of a poem my 3 year old son said at a Children’s program at church;
I’m not very big
Or very tall you see
But to the dear Lord Jesus
I give all of me.
God wants all of us. Have you given yourself to Him?

Quote for today

August 12, 2013

Quote by Billy Graham, “if we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.”
When was the last time you heard an old fashioned “hell fire” preaching?

Life is Short

August 10, 2013

James 4:14
14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Life is short! Only what is done for Christ will last. What are you doing for Christ?

Going nowhere?

August 8, 2013

Do you ever feel like you are treading water and going nowhere? Taking 2 steps forward and one step back. Sometimes in ministry that is how it seems.
Then comes the Holy Spirit speaking in your heart scripture that has been memorized. A favorite is: Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths.
God is faithful. He does direct our paths.

Funny church sign

Saying on a church sign:
Fishers of men
You catch them
He cleans them!

HOME!

July 23, 2013

There is no place like home. When away from home, even if there are blessings in seeing family and friends, we long to be home. Our hearts beat a little faster, and the excitement builds as we come nearer to our destination.
As we drive into the yard we are so happy. Home!
Then we realize that this is temporary. Our permanent home is waiting. Our hearts beat a little faster and the excitement builds as we come closer to that Heavenly Home.
What a day that will be when we fly into our HOME!
Are we ready? Trusting Jesus as our Savior is the ticket.
Do you have yours?
