Hello Everyone,
A man came to me and asked to borrow a wheel barrow. I could meet his need because I too do not own a wheel barrow. You can not pass along or give to others something that you don't have. Surely you understand that. My heart is sadden and broken for the children of today. They live with parents with such ungodly lifestyles and they are passing that along to their children. One young man said that he knew that he should be going to church, but his mother doesn't go. One young lady said that she was tried of all these rules and restrictions that she is made to keep. Her mother doesn't apply any of the in her life. Again, You can not pass along or give to others something that you don't have. Could I get you to stop and think about hat it is that you are passing along to others?
"Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done."
Psalms 78:1-4

Things are Different
Hello Everyone,
We live in the days where folks are trying to make all things equal or the same. Yet, God made things different. God made male and female, white and black, yes and no, up and down, left and right, over and under, Heaven and Hell. Each is different and not the same thing. The greatest difference among folks is there are those who are saved and those who are not. God know which you are and so do you. And there is a difference or at least there should be. What you are will make a difference on others. Just what kind of difference are you making anyway?
"But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference:" Jude 1:20-22

Stuff
Hello Everyone,
Is bigger always better? In one of our bathrooms, I built a larger closet. The other closet just wasn't big enough. So we had the extra room and we built onto the closet space. The other morning was getting into this closet and it was jammed packed. So is bigger better? We build bigger and what has it gotten us? Bigger garages - more stuff. Bigger sheds - more stuff. Bigger homes - more stuff. Bigger yards - more stuff. On and on we go with more stuff. Stuff that we will one day soon leave behind. Then it will be someone elses stuff. Can't take it with you. Hmmm.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Matthew 6:19-21

Triumph
Hello Everyone,
I had a busy week full of trials and troubles. I tell you when you get those days behind you, you are thankful. Thankful because you know that God had to gotten you through again. God is good to do that. Amen. As one fellow told me, he was trying to stay focused on the good and not the bad. I told him that he needed to spend less time watching the news and more time reading the Bible. He assured me that he would try.
Someone told me "The difference between try and triumph - is just a little umph." I don't think he got it. I hope all your trying becomes triumphs.
"But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 15:57

Just do it
Hello Everyone,
One of the hardest things I have had trouble with in these days is motivating the younger folks. I have found that their motivation lack is due a lot to their parent's lack of motivation. Someone told me that you can not build a reputation on what you are going to do. You have to do it. There was a slogan and it escapes me who it was, that said, "Just do it." My son came to me wanting to put off a chore that I had given him. I told him no excuse "Just do it." Many times the time spent trying to get out of something is more than the time needed to "Just do it."
I was sharing the need with a young man about being saved. He told me that he knows that he needs to and will do it someday. I tried to encourage him, please don't let it go too long. In other words "Just do it."
"For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Romans 7:19-20

Don't Dare
Hello Everyone,
School has started and the roads are crowded with folks getting their children to school. Now these folks have a new look on their faces. A look of where am I suppose to go and how do I get there? Some of these new concerned looks are scary. The one lady that looked at me, looked at though she was daring me to get into her way. I saw several smile of those who were walking their children to school. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that it is the vehicles we drive that makes us a totally difference creature.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

Going Overboard
Hello Everyone,
I was sharing with the church that when we find ourselves in the storm of life we get so wrapped up at looking at the big storm when we ought to be looking at our Big God. My God is bigger than any storm of life that comes along. So often folks start to throw overboard things that they are going to need to hang onto. Many storms find folks throwing their obedience overboard, then comes their care and testimony. What concerned Jesus was that when He and His disciples were in the ship and a storm come upon them, the disciples thought that they would perish. After waking Jesus, He arose and rebuked the wind and said, "Peace, be still." And there was a great calm. Then Jesus asked, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that ye have no FAITH?" The reason Jesus asked was because He knew that they had thrown their faith overboard and He knew that they were going to need that. Amen
"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?" Mark 4:39-40

And I have been busy reminding the storms of life and troubles of everyday just how big my God is. I have been paying less attention to how big these storms are and telling these storms just how big my God is. Hey, who can out do that?

Hello Everyone,
What I have found is the best safeguard for the this younger generation is to have a good example by the older generation. Amen. One thing is certain, you are being watched. What you are doing, what you are saying and where you are going to will be repeated. Both Good and Bad.
"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you." 1 Corinthians 11:1,2

Envying
Hello Everyone,
I guess that everyone envy another's blessings. I must admit that I find myself jealous of things more so when I am without. When my car breaks down I wished that had a new car like a neighbor. Same applies for my lawn movers, clothing, hair, teeth, etc. I passed a car that was broke down on the side of the road today and it reminded me to pray for those who are less fortunate and going through trials and troubles. Although you may not have all that you want, God said that He would meet your need. With that in mind I find myself not envying or getting so jealous. I thank God for the windows of blessing of each day.

No More
Hello Everyone,
They have these new cameras that once you take a picture you have a viewing screen to see if you like it or not. I call it the "No more" camera. Once you view the picture you just took, and you don't like it you can just do it over. "No more" mistakes - but there is no more excuses either. Wouldn't your life be a little better, if you could just go back and do it over? For those of us who are saved, we will one day soon, live in a place called Heaven - A home of "No mores." No more sin, pain, sorrow, death, mistakes, cancer, tragedies .......

Secret Agent
Hello Everyone,
A little boy had a dog, and somebody asked him what kind of dog he was. He was just a mongrel, but the little fellow said, “Well, he’s a police dog.” The friend said, “He doesn't look like a police dog.” The little guy replied, “He’s in the secret service.” I'm afraid that there are way too many folks who are in the secret service.
Are you ashamed to put a Bible on your desk at work? Are you ashamed to bow your head in the cafeteria? Are you ashamed to invite people to Jesus Christ? Are you ashamed of the One who died for you? Ask God to lead you out in strength and boldness today to live for Him and proclaim His love to others.

Straightened Out
Hello Everyone,
I heard a father say that he was going to straighten his son out once they get home. Getting straightened out is good but staying straightened out is another thing. We live in a world that is crook and getting more crook each passing year. And the need grows stronger for this world to get straightened out and in your individual lives as well. You need to keep your affairs, acquaintances, abundances, accomplishes and abilities straightened out. With that you can then administer to the many others that need to be straightened out. But is all starts with you and I.

Angry
Hello Everyone,
I was sitting beside this coke machine. I watch as folks placed their money in and make a selection. For $1.00 you can have delivered any one of the 8 different kinds of soda. All was going well until one fellow could not get the drink he wanted, so he kicked and beat on the machine. He was really give it a hard time. And I thought it is a machine, it doesn't understand. It only does what it is suppose to do. It then hit me that is what so many folks do when things don't get what they want in life. They get mad and upset. What I think we need to remember is Who it is we are getting mad and upset with, it is God.

Stress
Hello Everyone,
Stress is nothing new. Noah had it when he was building the ark with no rain in sight. Martha had it when she was preparing a meal for our Lord. Think about this, stress is the gap between the demands placed on us and the strength we have in meeting those demands. It is not a sin to be stressed, nor a sin to be weary. It is a sin, though, to keep stressing over the same things. When you learn to wait on God, God steps in to bridge the stress gap with His mighty strength.
Ask God to equip you to be a stress buster today. Who knows who could use you help when they are "stress out."
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

Cash it
Hello Everyone,
A story was told to me about a beggar stopped a lawyer on the street and asked him for a quarter. Taking a long, hard look into the man's unshaven face, the attorney asked, "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "You should," came the reply. "I'm your former classmate." "Why Sam, of course I know you!" Without further question the lawyer wrote a check for $100. "Here, take this and get a new start. I don't care what's happened in the past, it's the future that counts." And with that he hurried on. Tears welled up in the man's eyes as he walked to a bank nearby. Stopping at the door, he saw through the glass well-dressed tellers and the spotlessly clean interior. Then he looked at his filthy rags. "They won't take this from me. They'll swear that I forged it," he muttered as he turned away. The next day the two men met again. "Why Sam, what did you do with my check? Gamble it away? Drink it up?" "No," said the beggar as he pulled it out of his dirty shirt pocket and told why he hadn't cashed it. "Listen, friend," said the lawyer. "What makes that check good is not your clothes or appearance, but my signature. Go on, cash it!"
The Bible makes it clear that "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." That promise is a "negotiable note" of infinite value. As sinners, all we need to do is "exchange" it by faith for eternal life. Don't let the "tattered clothes" of your past keep you from cashing God's "check" of salvation.

A story was told to me about a beggar stopped a lawyer on the street and asked him for a quarter. Taking a long, hard look into the man's unshaven face, the attorney asked, "Don't I know you from somewhere?" "You should," came the reply. "I'm your former classmate." "Why Sam, of course I know you!" Without further question the lawyer wrote a check for $100. "Here, take this and get a new start. I don't care what's happened in the past, it's the future that counts." And with that he hurried on. Tears welled up in the man's eyes as he walked to a bank nearby.

Do you Really Care?
Hello Everyone,
I was presented a book form a dear lady of the church entitled, "Why do CATS do that?" It is a book about the real answers to the curious things cats do. Oh yea, and it comes with training tips. Written by Kim Thornton. Some of the topics are: "Why do cats purr?" Why do cats sleep so much?" "Why do cats spend so much time grooming?" and my favorite "Why do cats hate getting wet?" Honestly, I have not taking the time nor try to read this book. Why? Because it doesn't matter to me nor concerns me. As many folks would say, "I don't care!" Really I just don't care. They do what God tells them to do, all animals do. It is man that falls short.

Happy Ending
Hello Everyone,
A little boy was offered the opportunity to select a dog for his birthday present. At the pet store, he was shown a number of puppies. From them he picked one whose tail was wagging furiously. When he was asked why he selected that particular dog, the little boy said, "I wanted the one with the happy ending."
For everyone, that is the desire to have a life with a happy ending. God wants the same thing for each one of you. If you are to have a happy ending you have no choice but to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. For Jesus is the only way to Heaven and Happy endings.
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6

Praise God
Hello Everyone,
You ever get the thought that maybe now you can get a little ahead. You know, it is when you think that everything is fixed and working right. All your bills are all caught up and the vehicles are running smooth. No problems! Then you look at some water that has gathered on the floor, thinking that someone let an ice cube escape, so you wipe it up and a drip of water hits you in the head. It is then, while looking up, that the ceiling is dripping water in a place where no water is suppose to coming. No wait, then you noticed that the whole ceiling is soaked from where it has been dripping for some time now. One of the hardest thing to do now is smile and Praise God. To God be the Glory for God does all things well.
'Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." Psalms 42:11

Don't want to Hear
Hello Everyone,
I was talking to a wildlife biologist yesterday about the balance of wildlife and development. He told me that folks are moving farther out into the rural areas and then calling him and telling him that the deer eating up their flowers. That raccoons are raiding their garbage cans nightly and now coyotes are showing up. He reminded them that before they came, this was all wildlife. We are the invaders. Truth is folks just don't want to hear that. They want something done about it.
esus came to save sinners. Truth is folks just don't want to hear that they are sinners. They just want something done about it.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; ..." 1 Timothy 1:15
