A Blessed Man!

Psalms 1:1 says, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly..." We are talking about a person that lives life God's way. One that delights in the law of the Lord, having hid the word in his heart, he knows what to do even in difficult situations that call for unorthodox actions. Unorthodox only in the sense that the world doesn't do it the righteous way. The world is ready to fight and lie in a heartbeat to defend or increase their perceived territory. Are we walking in the counsel of the ungodly?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I want to thank the Lord for saving my soul and making me a new creation where old things are passed away, and all things have become new. He gave me new life, a wonderful wife and four great children and I am very blessed by His love and actions in my life. How about you? What are you thankful for?

The gift of all gifts!

In Romans 5:18 it reads like this, "Therefore, as by the offense of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." In Romans 6:23 it says, "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." With thankful and grateful hearts we give thanks for the gift of all gifts, eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ.

When God Knocks

Someone once said, "Now there's even a dial-a-prayer for atheists. You call a number and nobody answers." Psalm 14:1 says, "The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God..." We all know some who do not believe in God. Let's never forget to pray for them and live righteously before them, for we never know who will open the door when God knocks and who won't.

A Christian

We are told in IJohn 3:13 to, "Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you." The world hated Jesus and they will hate us, but for a brother to hate a brother is the sure way to abide in death. We are to love one another not just tolerate one another, or judge one another, or argue doctrine with one another. Some are of one persuasion and some from another, but we all best be of the persuasion that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. It would be much better if we weren't labeled with titles like Methodist, Baptist, Nazarene, Pentecostal, etc. but only known as Christians. When asked through the years of this matter, I have tried to answer that I am a Christian. What are you?

He's all I need

In Colossians 2:9-10 it says, "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power." A song writer wrote, "He's all I need, He's all I need, Jesus is all I need..." Jesus, plus nothing is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one can come to the Father except through him. Jesus is all we need.

The Victory Has Been Won!

It has been a long three years for me since I found out that my PSA was 11.3 and that I had prostate cancer. Two months ago I had radiation seed implants, and three months before that I had a 3 month hormone shot which is tough stuff. Yesterday I went to the doctor and found out that I am doing really well and I want to praise the Lord for that. This morning the doctor's office called and said that my PSA was now 0.2 and I want to praise the Lord for that as well. I also want to thank those of you who have been praying for me and praise the Lord for your prayers and concern. Many months past the Lord spoke to my heart and said that the victory has been won but the battle wasn't over yet. I'm not sure that it is over just yet but I'm closer now than I was and all the more Christlike for it. The victory has been won. PTL
