Can't See

Hello Everyone,


Folks used to be counted on. Counted faithful. Not only is there a lack of faith but a lack of faithfulness. It has had a great impact on marriages, families, jobs, school and colleges, maintaining homes, vehicles, neighbors, the Church and God. There is no doubt that if folks aren't committed or faithful to others and responsibilities that they can see, that they are most likely not faithful and committed to God whom they can't see.

"For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us." 2 Timothy 1:12-14

Daily Plans

Hello Everyone,


Life is great when all goes well. But every now and then God butts in. And many times we aren't ready. Often we are so far out of God's will that we don't see the little things or signs that God is trying to get our attention. This is because folks are happy in their comfort zones, and everyone has them. Folks don't like being asked to do something that doesn't go right along with your daily plans. Holidays are good but they do mess with your plans and comfort zone. Smile and enjoy this time of year and keep Jesus first in all your plans.

"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
2 Corinthains 1:3,4

Walk by Faith

Hello Everyone,


The Bible tells us much about the matter of walking by faith. A walk that everyone needs. More so in these last days. We are in need of trusting God and have faith. That should be your goal and mine. We will see some amazing things happen that will be known only that it had to come from God. We may be just ordinary folks but we have a Extra ordinary God, who can do all things.

(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." 2 Corinthains 5:7-10

Prisons

Hello Everyone,


God did not order the building of prisons. God did allow some servants to spend time in prison, dungeons and jails. God has allowed many of His servants to go to jail not because they were guilty or criminals, it was a learning process or a lesson that needed to come about and there was no other way for these folks to get this teaching. Just because something has happen in your life doesn't mean that it is God's will, but God allowed it. God has a better plan and He is control. Trust God - Have Faith.

"And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God." Mark 11:22

Heavenly Glow

Hello Everyone,


Charles Spurgeon once said to a group of preacher boys, "When you preach on heaven let your face light up with a Heavenly glow. When you preach on hell, well your natural face will do." if you have been saved then you need to allow a heavenly glow show forth from your face. If you are not saved then your natural face will do, but it doesn't have to stay that way. God sent His Son Jesus to whosoever so that they too can have eternal life. The greatest thing one can doing this Christmas Season is to call upon Jesus, He will not refuse your request.

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Know So

Hello Everyone,


I am always amazed by the number of folks who aren't sure if they would go to Heaven when they die. God likes for folks to know. He is not all about "hope so" "maybe so" "like to think so" or " how can anyone know for sure." God wants you to know that is why He gave us the B I B L E.

"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

The Dash

Hello Everyone,


Looking upon some tombstones, you will see the date of birth and the date of death. And then there is that dash between. That dash is all that represents ones life. If you were to think about it, that dash is the only part of life that you can control. You had nothing to do with the date of your birth and most of us will have no real control over the date of our death. But that space in the middle, that period of time that we call life is under your control. What you do with it will depend upon where you will spend eternity.

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." 1 John 5:11-12

Wrong Heart

Hello Everyone,


Folks are hard to figure out. I am amazed by the number of folks who are against right and stand up for wrong. They have a wrong heart. The trouble with wrong hearts is that it comes in may forms, you can have the right heart for one thing and a wrong heart for another, if you are not careful. The way we approach sin, address sin, cover up sin, discuss sin, make little over sin can cause you to have a wrong view which can lead to a wrong heart. Wrong hearts are not in tune with God.

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." Colossians 3:23-25

Just a Coincidence

Hello Everyone,


I wrote a tract many years ago called, "Just a Coincidence" So often folks declare things that happen in their life as a coincidence. Many believe that most of what is written in the Bible is just a coincidence. With God there is no such thing as a coincidence. God knows what He is doing, for God does all things well. It is important for you to know that it was not a coincidence for God to send His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die on an old rugged cross. There was a need and God meet that need through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Amen!

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:17,18

Mistakes

Hello Everyone,


I told a fellow the other day that the Bible is full of mistakes. He looked at me like he just saw a ghost. I went on to say, Eve made a mistake listening to the serpent. Moses made a mistake hitting the rock, Lot made a mistake by going to Sodom, the Jews made a mistake by not recognizing Jesus as the Messiah. David made a mistake by not being in the battle, the Devil made a mistake thinking that he could keep Jesus in the grave. Scoffer are making a mistake by thinking that Jesus is not coming back. And you will make the greatest mistake of all, if you think you get to heaven on your good works.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8,9

Withered

Hello Everyone,


I watched a fellow who had a hand that was withered, maybe from polio. His one hand was almost useless to him. Now the thing that came to my mind is this, because his hand is withered you expect him to not be able to handle some things right. What is your excuse? How often do folks mishandle things with two good hands? God has blessed you with good hands, see that you use them right for His glory.

SAFE

Hello Everyone,


We are afraid of everything mainly because everything today has a warning label on it. All these warnings are to scare you and I to believing that nothing is safe. We can not trust medicine, politicians, police, lawyers, bakery goods, milk, paint on toys, alarms, drinks, books, TV, radio, processed food, dried meats, whole grain nor churches. Did I miss anything? Yet I tell you I am not afraid, you can't scare me, I am safe. I am not safe in any of these things but I am SAFE in Jesus.

Think on These

Hello Everyone,


There is a movie called Peter Pan. Peter is in the children's bedroom; they have seen him fly; and they want to fly also. They gave it their best from the floor and then they tried it from the bed and the result was failure. "How do you do it?" one of them asked. And Peter answered: "You just think lovely, wonderful thoughts and they lift you up in the air." You know that can apply to believers. One way to defeat evil thoughts is to begin to think of something else, like Jesus.

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philippians 4:8

Creation

Hello Everyone,


We have in Northern Kentucky a Creation Museum. Folks from all over are coming by to see a museum dedicated to the creation of God. For God did create all things. Amen! Yet we have also a group of folks who protest it daily. Why is it that they are so set against anything that has to do with God? For I have good news, everyone that dies is a believer. You can count on that.

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools," Romans 1:20-22

Complaining

Hello Everyone,


My son was complaining to me about the shower head not being in the same place every time he uses the shower. He feels that it should stay in the same place. What then would be the use of having a portable shower head if you can't use it? I told him that I felt that he should use some of his energy to find solutions instead of complaints. A real optimism is aware of problems but recognizes that there is a solution. They know about difficulties but believes they can be overcome them. Many times they have reason to complain but chooses to smile and work toward a resolve.

"I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:12,13

Do it

Hello Everyone,


Have you ever seen something that someone has made out of used match sticks? I saw a whole village made out of match sticks. I am sure that it was a time consuming project by the details of every home, barn, fence and trees. I have asked myself how can someone find that much time to invest in such a project. I then realize once again, you will do what you want to do. Amen.

Lazy Lazy

Hello Everyone,


Let me ask you a question. What would make a cat with a bowl full of food, rip open a bag of cat food? Dirty rotten cat. I can't believe it. No kidding there was a full bowl of food and one of those cats that belong to my wife and sons ripped open a new bag of cat food and scattered it all over the floor. What really made me mad there was no one home at the time. So I waited until someone got home and showed them the mess. I just knew that they would not believe it without seeing it. Then I had them to clean it up. She said something about me being lazy, I said that I did it in brotherly love. Amen

Burdens

Hello Everyone,


Along life highway things happen. I am sure that you know this. Things happen that rock our world. Things that we wished had not happen. Things that causes us to stop and reevaluate. And things that just get under our skin. Each things can be handle with ease individually. But it when we allow them to accumulate that gets us down. No one really sinks under the burden of the day. It is when we add the burdens of the next day and the next day that the weight becomes more than a one can bear.

Confused

Hello Everyone,


I was trying my best to get some information with a church about an upcoming event. There was some time changes and schedule adjustments that was in need of me checking to see if it interfered with my schedule. I am a very busy fellow you know. The only real answer I could get was to go to their web site. Great! So when I got home I brought up their web site and guess what? I was just as confused as I was before. Folks the church ought not be confused. Amen!
