IDOLATRY

"Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god..." Psalm 16:4 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication(voluntary sexual intercourse between two persons that are not married), uncleanness(morally impure), lasciviousness (expressing lust, arousing sexual desire), idolatry(excessive or blind adoration, reverence, devotion to anything or anyone that is not God), witchcraft(rebellion to God, magical charm or influence), hatred(intense dislike, affection in the mind awakened by something regarded as evil), variance, emulations(envious contention, jealous rivalry), wrath, strife, seditions(promoting discontent or rebellion), heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21 I Corinthians 10:14..."flee from idolatry." Is there anyth...

TIME TO GIVE - THANKS!

Friend of mine Jason, his wife Marilyn (who is expecting their second child), and their 14 month old son have lost their home and everything in it a few days ago in a fire. He is a fire-fighter in Alaska and an outdoor guide when weather and his work schedule permits. His wife is a dog trainer in between working on their home and being a wife and mom. They are both very meek, quiet people, who live to give all glory to God in whatever way possible. On a sidenote, It took him two years to build their home, nothing fancy but solid enough to protect them from the elements. He did 95 % of the work with his own hands and I am almost certain they put everything they had into building it from foundation to finish. I am asking for immediate help from each of you, as I would imagine their need is greater then they will probably be able to express to anyone. I have sent them my greetings and let them know that word has reached me of their current circumstances. I did ask them to please send me ...

THIS IS A TEST

This is a test. Can you not see it? In whom is your hope? Where is your faith? Are you firmly planted on the ROCK CHRIST JESUS? Then you cannot and will not be shaken or put to shame. Be glad. Rejoice. Give thanks. Greater is He within you than he that is in the world! DAILY CHOICES DETERMINE MORE THAN WHAT WE MIGHT REALIZE. THE EFFECTUAL FERVANT PRAYERS OF THE RIGHTEOUS MAN AVAILETH MUCH. WATCH AND PRAY. Saints of GOD, I tell you TAKE HEART. Just as Jesus said, that in the last days evil would wax worse and worse. There will be tribulation in this world, but take heart! Take heart! He has overcome the world. Some of the beginnings of actual tribulation is when you decide not to be silent in the presence of evil. If you stand up for the truth and are unashamed for righteousness --- YOU WILL BE PERSECUTED. Fear not, for the Lord your God is with you and He is mighty to save and strong to deliver. Get down on your knees, on your face, and cry out to God for wisdom on how to live and be s...

YOUR RIGHTS

I am here to read you your rights. According to the Word of God He states that No man can come to the Father except by Jesus. And all who come to Him will in no wise be cast out. If you come to Him you will have rest for your souls. If you stay your mind on Him you will be kept in perfect peace. You will not be disappointed, you will not be put to shame for trusting in Him. If you look to Him your face will be radiant. If you pay attention to His Words and take them to heart it will be life to you and health to all of your flesh. It is also your right to reject the truth, the God of all, King of Kings. You may do so by exalting your own opinion or that of others above the Word of God. And it is your choice to not come to Him, and accept the consequences of that, no rest. It is also your decision alone to think about whatever you want or desire and be disappointed and ashamed for not trusting in Him. If you do not look to Him your face will be dim. If you do not pay attention to His wor...

PRAYING PEOPLE PRAY

Pray first, pray during, pray after. Praying people pray. Prayer should be more than just a thought. It is a personal discipline. It is the result of willing obedience. It is appropriate for any and all occassions. "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." Ephesians 6:18 Prayers of faith are effective people! When I pulled in the parking lot tonight realized two people in their large sports utility vehicle. Their car would not start. They had not figured out how to open the hood, much less diagnose the situation. I pondered the possibilities. Got out of my truck, asked some questions, opened the hood and gazed in. I pulled out my climbing light, grabbed a wrench and a pair of pliers. Beat some of the corrosion off of the battery. Asked them to try to start it. nada. I requested for them to please apply the parking brake as I proceeded to crawl under their vehic...

PUMPKIN SPICE

For the love of God Saints, stop playing games with the darkness! What are you thinking?! Participating in evil. Smiling and dressing up for the traditions of this world and its practices. Sick. You are salt and light. You are not of this world. To put it bluntly --- I think it would be safe to say that Jesus did not accommodate the evils of his time. Attending festivals and catering to the worldliness of his day and age. He most likely was not concerned that he would offend those who serve false gods, by being true and holding fast to His confession of faith that was accompanied by his deeds that were done in righteousness. "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." I John 2:15 Be more concerned with offending the heart of the One who spilled His blood for you, than busying yourself trying to fit in with the world and its traditions. Salt and light burns, it purifies, it preserves...and so...

TRY ME

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Christ Jesus..." I Peter 1:7 It should not astound us or surprise us when trials come. If we are familiar with the Word of God we will know that tribulation comes to everyone that follows Jesus Christ. We can TAKE HEART and know that Jesus is GREATER than any trials that we will ever face and that He has overcome the world. The testing of our faith produces..."perseverence." James 1:3 Each one of us needs to go through some things that we may know in whom we believe. If we learn to persevere we will not give up, no matter what. That's the kind of faith and endurance that is required on the part of the Saint. Relentless love and determination to follow the KING OF KINGS and to obey His word regardless of what comes our way. So let the trials come and do their job --- TRY ME.
