Hearing the Word... 1/7/12 3:23 AM
PREACHING, is dispensed mostly; to Brake hardened hearts. It is not for mending them. The Father is the mender of hearts.
TEACHING, is helpful in keeping the hearts soft. Allowing the enrichment, to enhance one's being.
It is truly, a functional and beneficial system. Similar to the System of Seasons. Each Season administers, that which is best for the Planet and it's inhabitants. A system prescribed and set into place so very long ago.
If ever, Preaching has moved you to tears of anger, joy or other emotion; maybe you ought consider the Coldness upon the Earth, the Heat, Rain; even being pumeled by Hailstones, brings about an aspiring land. Allow Preaching to have it's way, as it releases the aspiring you.0 comments -
How you be? 11/1/11 9:04 PM
Quite often, I ask people,"How you Be?" Most answer with, how they are. How you be, is about one's existence. What strengthens one, edifies, compels and directs one. Getting to where one is, remaining and/or moving on. How you be? By what means and whose power? There is much to consider, when pondering, How you be; even who you be?, is involved. The Army requested you to, "Be all, you can be". Sure, but How and who you be, has impact on being all you can be. If this was a circle, you would not be in the middle. You'd be to the left of the middle, as you are almost the heart of the matter.0 comments -
Not just above... 10/31/11 8:48 PM
The power of GOD, in Jesus' resurrection; is "far above all rule and authority. power and dominion, and every name, that can be named". In this life we live, it means, powers and dominions of sin and evil, sickness and depression, anger and strife, addiction and impurity. As humans, we can experience hardships and happiness as well. The power of GOD through Christ is above all. Far above any issue or thing that can beset us. As we open the eyes of our hearts and faith, believing in the Word of GOD; we can receive complete victory. What about it? Let's live above, with HIS help...0 comments -
What is man?... 10/28/11 7:30 PM
Many times, it's been said; someone said 'What is man, that GOD is mindful of Him?' It was David that said it, in Psalm 8. It doesn't matter. It's not about who wrote the Psalm, yet who the Psalm is written about. It's not David, the preacher or even us. It's about GOD. Let's get ourselves out of the way. Ridding ourselves of grudges, angers, self-centeredness and other things that beset us. When we focus on HIM, we are out of the way. We need to try to get out of the way, at that time. A personal relationship with HIM matters, a lot. HE is there for you. Go on and enjoy HIM. Who is HE and what is HE to you? Ahhh..there it is. Plain and simple.0 comments
HIS will, your want... 10/5/11 5:41 PM
The secret of abundant life and victory, hidden in the Lord's prayer. "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven Give us this day, our daily bread...". It's right there; the will and the want. The will comes first. GOD cares about your needs and desires. Yet, being overwhelmed or wrapped up in them, is not beneficial and most assuredly displeasing to HIM. Dwelling on what one does not have, appears to reduce the victorious living you can enjoy, with what you do have. Living by need; creates a needy life. Seek HIS Will above your needs and you'll be not needy.

Sacrifices... 9/28/11 2:37 PM
A few students, wanted to form a music band. Being without needed finances; they began sacrificing their lunch, Each went without lunch, until the amount needed was reached. They were so happy at the accomplishment and was learning to play well.
Then someone, broke into the garage and stole their equipment.
These students went without about 300 lunches and it was now, back to square one.
Often, when seeking and reaching for some Thing, sacrifices are made. Often people spend their lives, sacrificing their peace, their marriages, their relationships with their children, their loved ones, their integrity, their Joy, health and even their relationship with GOD .. and for what??? A better job, bigger house, more money, a career goal or for some ambition or thing; they think they have to get in their life. It usually ends up, not being worth it at all.
Stop sacrificing and seeking after what you think you need in your life. Give thought to that which you do need in the life you're living. Seek HE, Who is GOD, for knowledge about what you require; offer HIM thanks and go on and enjoy your lunch.

Red Sea, parted... 9/20/11 3:39 PM
Many years ago, Moses raised a Staff and Hands and the Red Sea, parted. It's kind of sad, many say this (Sea of Reeds) as it was called then) was only one foot deep. How can one believe it was that shallow and an Army drowned in it? For the Universe, Planets, all upon the Earth and man was created by GOD. It would not have been a difficult task, to part a Sea.
The Iraelites faced a hardship; Pharoah's Army on the attack and the Read Sea blocking any escape. Scary situation at the least. Moses trusted GOD. The obstacle was, like unto the problems we can face daily. To turn and run, is a natural response, which is the insinct of survival. As long as you are going to turn; turn to HIM, HE Who is the giver of life.
Allowing your problem to be as the horse and rider; drowned in the Sea.

Stand... 9/9/11 8:59 PM
Israelites were called to stand for GOD, but were to stand against the gods of the nations, that were around them - Baal, Zeus, Ashtoreth and others. We are in a world with many gods, to stand against as well. Material things and people are worshipped altogether too often, when they should not be at all. Appreciate them and honor GOD and HIM only. The gods of money, lust, selfisness and greed, status, drugs, alcohol, exorbitant finery and many more. It's not easy; yet there is help and assistance for us. You can be outstanding or standing out.

Acting??.... 9/7/11 3:37 AM
While watching a movie, when people seem like they are reading their lines [not from the heart], its Bad acting. If they perform as it's coming from the heart, it's considered Good acting. We were created to produce good works. When we do our works from the heart, it appears that way and can be believed, to be true. Weather in worship or in other activities; Be one to do wholeheartedly, that which you do. It's been said, "Sometimes you have to laugh, to keep from crying". It may be far better, to go on and cry. Afterward, laugh, live and love, with all you are.

Religion won't... 8/17/11 1:25 PM
It appears New Age, Hinduism, Buddism rest on the premise; GOD and the universe are the same-thus that everyone is, in essence GOD. It may sound encouraging-but in the end takes away all hope. If you, yourself, are GOD and you're in trouble, you have no one to help you. You would have the same sin and sin nature, without relief.
It's good news we are not GOD or the universe and thus can be saved; because there is a Lifeguard. When overwhelmed by problems and such, remember who you are and that's not GOD. With HIM there is hope. Call on HIM

To Believe... 8/11/11 1:27 PM
It is said, "One does not believe, that does not live according to one's belief."
It's rather simple, when you think about it. If you believe Flames will burn you; you do not hold your hand in the Flames.
There are many things, one claims to believe; yet, do not respond as though, they do. An apparent lack of evidence, of the belief.
As a Believer; live as you believe and reap the reward of good practices and common sense.

Flooring the problem... 8/10/11 10:26 AM
In biblical times, the roof atop a house, was flat. It was easy to go to and stand, kneel or sit and pray. The ceiling was sort of a barrier, between the resident and blocked their view of the heavens. Yet, the roof was not just a ceiling or roof, for them. It became a floor as well. Most of our houses have a slanted roof. It would be difficult to even get to it, less stand, kneel or sit on it.
Let not a problem overwhelm you. Pray on the correct side of the problem. Don't look at your problem as a ceiling; stand on the problem, making it the floor. Use it to get closer to HE Who is the giver of life. Then the only roof, so to speak, over your head, will be the heavens.

An Ear to hear... 8/9/11 3:17 PM
When Priests of Israel were called to minister, their ears were annointed with the Blood of Sacrifice. Those who serve GOD, do well, to have Holy ears. That which enters the ears should not be words of gossip, doubt , impurity, hate or death. This also applies to our hearts. Letting not our minds and hearts dwell on thoughts of impurity and worse. Rejecting those things and thinking on life giving things that are, excellent, of good report and beautiful. Living, loving and being enhanced, as we go forth.

Good or Nice... 8/5/11 8:04 AM
Are we called to be people of good deeds? Sure we are. Like Boy Scouts, which help elderly ladies cross the street. There were times, the Organization put a stop to some of the deeds. A couple of Scouts decided to go to the streets and do a good deed. They were warning motorists about a radar trap, which was ahead. The organization quickly put a stop to it. Sometimes deeds aren't really good; they are nice deeds.
It may be nice to make people feel good, but feeling good is not the same as being good. or becoming good. Living simply to please people is never good. Are you called to be agreeable and nice? Of course not. You're called to be good. Love must be strong and sometimes tough. The giver of life is not always agreeable. HE is always good. Be the same.

Mind Renewal... 8/2/11 7:13 PM
It's thinking other than, the old way. It is not Brain Washing, in any respect.
We benefit greatly, by presenting our bodies as living sacrifices, holy, acceptable unto HE Who is the giver of life, which is a reasonable response and service. We can now stop conforming to this world: being transformed by renewing our minds. By giving way to and observing to perform, according to truth; we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
We can learn, not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think; but to think soberly, according as HE has given to each of us, the measure of faith.

A specific joy... 7/29/11 9:01 PM
There is a joy, that is experienced by those in tuned to, HE Who is the giver of life. This particular joy, is not given to those
who are not.
Love HIM, for your own sake, whose joy you surely are.
For this is the happy life, to rejoice to HIM, of HIM, for
HIM; this it is, and there is no other comparable.

As it is written... 7/29/11 2:30 AM
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; each give an account of what he saw and heard. They may appear to be controversial, in their accounts. However, closer examination shows, they are in agreement;
Many people do not reject the bible, because it contadicts itself;
They reject the bible, because it contradicts them.
Believe, Be True, Be Ready

The Core... 7/27/11 8:43 PM
There are three. 1- Help me 2- I love you 3- I'm sorry. Simple words, yet difficult, at times to say. Why? The Peeling of an Apple contacts, not the core. These three phrases; TOUCH the very core of us. When we depend not upon ourselves, but on HE Who has grace sufficient to overcome all.... it becomes easier to perform those tasks, which we dread. Hold fast to HIS Grace and allow Love to set the pace. Being still once in a while, is of great benefit.

Insurance carries you, to the grave;
Assurance carries you, through eternity.
There are many times we are certain about some things, Yet, the power of Assurance surpasses many a certainty. So be certain of your destination and assured of your destiny,
