LIVE LOVE

What would have become of me had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! WAIT FOR and HOPE FOR and EXPECT THE LORD; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, WAIT FOR and HOPE FOR and EXPECT THE LORD.  PS 27:13, 14

Strange how easy some females think nothing of being critical, accusing, and complaining about the one they vowed to take for better or worse, in sickness and in health, til death separate them. That sort of ugliness would kill anybody. What would prompt you to think his passion and desire should flourish towards you in that kind of vomitis environment? Fault finding, name dropping, nagging and harassing him until he can hardly see straight. You expect him to rise above your slander...lavish you with gifts, praise, and kindness? WOE WHOA LADY! You cannot plant weeds and expect delicious fruit to grow. Silence your foolishness, get control of your cold heart and bitter tongue. The very one you resent, disrespect, and treat with contempt is the man that you once could not live without and would do anything for...until the day you changed your mind. You are out of order. God has designed creation in a certain or...

Last call. No more time to figure out the future. Are you ready to lose everything that you may be found in Him? Eternity is knocking at the door. What are you doing with the time that you have been given? Where is your treasure? In a moment nothing will be the same. Everything that can be shaken will be shaken. It is of utmost importance that you make knowing God's Word a priority in your life. Really knowing Him. Really listening. Truly obeying. Genuinely, deeply loving others. This could very well be the LAST CALL to surrender all to Jesus. He alone is the anchor for our souls. If we do not have Him, we have nothing. If we do not know Him, we know nothing. Praying you return to the Lord with all your heart and do what He first told you to do. If you are reading this note, it is not too late. Repent. Obey. This could be the day that our King returns. Last call. The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.   I Peter 4:7 ...

BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT TRUST IN THE LORD, WHOSE HOPE THE LORD IS . Jeremiah 17:7 As my Mom has pointed out too many folks have been drinking the koolaid. The blood of Jesus has cleansed us and redeemed us and healed us. The Word of God alone is what each of us needs. Not all these other things that you can buy, try, wheel and deal, drink, or eat. Putting your trust in anything more than the Living Eternal God is a mistake. It is awfully encouraging to reflect on the Word of God as our answer. The Woman at the well, the blind man, the woman with an issue of blood (spent all she had and still no cure until her faith made her whole), Elijah and the woman and boy who trusted God with the jars of oil who never seemed to run empty. History proves the Lord glorifies himself in circumstances that are definetely too difficult for the human mind to figure out. Dare to hope...

If we avoid professing the truth of what we believe for fear it might put ourselves on rejections path or if we value the temporary approval of dirt over the living, eternal Word of God...Houston is not the only one with a problem. Can you spell danger? Wishy washy. Passivity. Mmm just whatever. Carelessness. Not hot. Not cold. Who cares? It doesn't matter or so it might seem harmless for a time. In the end, when time runs out, your choices will matter much. Your attitude will arrive at it's destination, I promise. If you often find yourself around those who have a form of godliness, but zero demonstration of its power... I do not care where you met these people - I'd be taking a long hike in the opposite direction if I were you. Fear grows there. Constant confusion. Misunderstanding. Posers. Pretenders. Religious, controlling spirits. Manipulation. Deception so deceptive you could hardly see it for what it is. If you do not cling to the pure ...

Praise God for His word! Without His word we are lost. Without the Holy Spirit we are without true discernment and understanding of His word. We might have a limited knowledge, but without the Holy Spirit enabling us we have zero power to apply the whole truth to our lives and circumstances. I was having dinner with a friend last week. Our conversation started out with a short discussion on divine order. How necessary it is for us to grasp the simple basics of the gospel that we might know our place, and function properly as a member of the whole Body of Christ. If you're feeling lost or overwhelmed, LOVE is a good place to start. It is a good measuring line when you are examining yourself to see if you are still in the faith. The specific details we were tossing around over a ceasar salad was:  an individual not providing for his own family. The divine order that God has set up is MAN as a husband and father, protector, provider, and head of his household. WO...
