Thank the Lord for another day to get right

Wax Worse

Hello Everyone,


Someone once said, Bad is called good when worse happens. Some of our good old days seem so good to us now, but when we were going through them it did not seem very good. I remember being without a job and low in hope of finding one. Yet God had gotten me through it. What scares me now is that what we are calling bad and rough times now, will we be calling them the good old days?

"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;"
2 Timothy 3:12-14

Did you see my Bible

Hello Everyone,


A few years back, I remember being in a hurry to get to church, we were running a little late. And I walked out of the house without my Bible. I asked my son to go into the house and see if my Bible was laying on the kitchen table. Off he went as fast as his little legs could carry him. "Bam" he threw open the door went in and came back just as fast, but he did not have my Bible with him. He got into the van and started to buckle up. I asked him, "Did you see my Bible on the kitchen table?" He said, "Yes, it is there." We just looked at each other and I asked why he didn't bring it to me. "Because I only asked him to see if my Bible was on the kitchen table in the house, I didn't say anything about bring it to me." We all a good laugh as I went and retrieve my Bible. I shall be more careful the next time of how I ask and what I am to ask for.

The same may need to be applied to our prayer requests to God. We may a need to be more careful the next time of how I ask and what I am to ask for.

No Fishing

Hello Everyone,
     Just down the road is pond that has a sign that says "NO FISHING - PLEASE DON'T ASK." That remided me of when God forgave us of all our sins. The Bible says He put then in the deepest sea, I suppose then that God would place a sign that says "NO FISHING."
     I was talking one time to a young man that ask me to pray for him about something that was sin. I told I could not ask God to bless his sin. I can imagine God placing a sign out saying, "NO FISHING - PLEASE DON"T ASK!"

"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."  Micah 7:18-19

Heart of the Problem

Hello Everyone,
       If anything goes wrong in the home it is the responsibility of the wives. So if his shirt collar is not clean it is her fault! You have heard about the ring around the collar. She then tries everything to get that collar clean and nothing works. My wife told me he just needs to do a better job of washing his neck. Hey that seems to simple. Plus it goes right to the heart of the problem, amen!
      God's Word tells the same thing. It is simple and gets right to the heart of the problem. Sin! For all have sinned. Because all have sinned, all have to be saved. That is where Jesus comes in. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. That ought to be simple enough.

"...Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."  Acts 16:30-31

Name Changes

Hello Everyone,

Here is something for you to think about. The Bible speaks of name changes. Saul was changed to Paul. Simon to Cephas. Levi to Matthew,
Jacob to Israel. What is important is that names mean something. David
means beloved, Noah means rest. Paul means little, John means gift from
God, Daniel means judge of God. The Bible also tell us that a white stone will be given to you with a new name written, which no man will know except he that received it.

Hmmm.... Now we would all like to think of what our new name
would be pleasing and God honoring. But there is 3 things to consider:
a) What you would want and like to be called. b) What will others call
you. c) What will God call you. You see truthfully you and God are the
only ones that really know what your new name would be. And then we have
a habit of lying to ourselves, but God will not. My questions to you
would be, What new name would you like to be called? Then are you really
living up to that new name? Hmmmm...

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,
and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written,
which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." Revelation 2:17
