The Peace of Jerusalem

Psalm 83:l-5 reads like this, "Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For lo, thine enemies make a tumult and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee." This sounds like a news release out of the liberal centers from around the world. People trying to cut Israel off from being a nation and possessing the land that was given to them by God. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee (Psalm 122:6).

It is time Lord

Psalm 119:126 states, "It is time for thee, Lord, to work for they have made void thy law." Many a person has and many are making void the law of the Lord. Look at the laws that are being turned out by those in authority, and pray as David did in Psalm 119. It is time Lord! Time to stop the foolishness of men. Time to set up your standard, to lay your plumb-line throughout the earth. Time for the righteous to stand up and be counted. Time for those who are called by your name to be doers of your word. Time to quit playing Christianity. Time to quit acting as though we are something that we aren't. Time for us to get after it and do our part. Watch and Pray for it is time!!!

Nail prints

In John 20:24-31, we read of Thomas' proclamation that he wouldn't believe that Christ was risen from the dead unless he could see the nail prints in his hands and put his finger into the print of the nails, as well as put his hand into his side. Do we come from the cut of Thomas? Must we always see a miracle or we won't believe. Remember, Jesus said, Thomas because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Do we believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior of the world. That He is our Lord and Savior and we are looking for His soon return. Or perhaps we are still looking for nail prints to give us the confidence to believe. I sure hope not. Come quickly Lord Jesus, I pray!

The Love of God

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life". (John 3:16 ) Aren't you glad and thankful and overwhelming grateful for God's love. When we deserved to die, He choose to save us through the death of His Son, cleansing us with His precious blood. Oh how wonderful and marvellous is the Love of God. God loves us and all there is to say is Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are LOVED!

Are You In Debt?

Are you in debt? Do you owe a lot of money for your house and/or car? What about student loans, do you owe them as well? Owing others is the American way. Indebtedness is the most common path to fulfilling the American dream. What's that you say, "you don't owe anyone anything. Well that is not exactly correct, even if you have no indebtedness, you still owe men. In Romans 13:8, scripture says, "Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." We may not owe anyone money, but according to God's word we owe them love, and when we pay this debt of love, we fulfill the law. This particular type of debt is never paid off. For as long as we live, we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Yes, we are in debt and lets not forget that we are. The opportunities abound to pay this debt. Care to join me as we love our way through life!!!

A Good Name

Wink was it's name, that is a small town in Texas. It might have been better named blink, for if you blink you might miss it as you drive down the highway. The naming of a town is a curious thing to me. It causes me, many a time, to ask myself, what were they thinking? Oh well that is their business.
Now on to names. Proverbs 22:1, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches...". Do we have a good name amongst those that know us? Are we the type of folks that do what we say? You know the type, they are faithful in little things, in another man's, and with money. When they say they will meet you at a certain time, they will be there. They view it as purely selfish to cause you to be waiting on them. Certainly other things can make us late, but even then these folks give a call to let the other person know what is delaying them. These folks have a good name amongst their family and friends. They have chosen a good name over riches!

You-all

It is always interesting to travel and to see how other folks in other towns, cities, and states are living. Texans and those from Oklahoma are outwardly friendly, and who can resist a hardy and sincere you-all. In response to being asked , "How are you-all doin?", my wife in her finest Texaneese replied "we are just fine, how are you-all doin"? This went on for the entire time we were there, either she said it or I did, which brings me to this point, how are you-all doin? I hope you-all are doin well. If not, it would help for you-all to ask why aren't you doin well, and then just listen to what the Lord says, and respond accordingly. Hope to see you-all soon. Take care now! Oh I guess I should say, Gig-em Aggies, or Hook-um horns.
