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?

August 12, 2013Life is Short
August 10, 2013James 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, 2013Do 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
August 1, 2013Saying on a church sign:
Fishers of men
You catch them
He cleans them!
HOME!
July 23, 2013There 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?
To Obey God
July 14, 2013To obey God is always the right thing to do, but not the easiest thing to do.
Stop, Look, and Listen
July 11, 2013Genesis 1:24-25
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:and it was so.And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind:and God saw that it was good.
God gives so many blessings. Just to look at His creation is awesome. Early in the morning His creatures are out, and today, in the yard was a beautiful red fox, a tiny humming bird, and many more of His lovely creatures were welcoming the day.
Sometimes we get to busy in the routine of daily living that we miss what God has given us to enjoy.
Why not stop, even for a minute today and look around to see some of the beauty God has created?
Where is God in your life?
July 7, 2013Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
God says in His Word that everything shall be added onto you. Food, clothing, shelter.
God wants all of our hearts, not just a token. He wants more than our church attendance. He wants us to put Him first above all else. Where is God in your life?
Liberty
July 1, 20132 Corinthians 3:17
Now the Lord is that Spirit:and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Celebrate our liberty in Christ.
Freedom
June 30, 2013Freedom is never free, it comes with a price.
Today, think of our freedom in America. Brave men and women died so we can have freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom to do what we want to do in life, freedom to choose.
True freedom is through Jesus Christ who died so we can have peace, joy and eternal life in Heaven. All we have to do is choose to accept Him as our Savior, then follow Him.
This week as we approach the 4th of July, take a little time out to pray for our service men and women who are serving in the Armed forces, also, the wounded warriors and families.
Then thank The Lord we live in a country where we still have our freedom.
