Basics

Radically Saved

Matthew 6:11-13- “Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

Some days we just need to get back to the basics…

Amazing

1 Chronicles 16:24 -“Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.”

It’s so easy to only talk about the negative; maybe today we talk about just how amazing our God is?

Blessings,

Thoughts

A COUPLE of disclaimers first…

1. My Mother in Law is in the hospital from where I am typing this message.

2. She came in last night so I did not get to sleep until 4am and was back up here at 12 PM.

I give those disclaimers because my words may be all over the place so forgive me in advance…..

As I sit here and watch what my Mother in Law go through what she is going through, it is like a slap in the face reality check of just how frail our bodies really are. A week ago she was pretty good; today she can’t put a whole sentence together and may have a heart infection. Just like that the world does a 180 and here we are.

Must be something in the air because I myself have not felt quite right this week; almost passed out once and just have had this foreboding feeling that something is not right. Spiritual? Maybe; if it is though its manifesting itself physical which is an interesting twist in events.

Something is definitely off though; even the nurse that just came in said, “You just don’t know who or what to trust anymore”; such a sad world that now exists..A world without morals, a world without direction, and a world hanging on to itself for dear life. A world just wanting answers; answers we as believers should be giving them.

I used to have hope; hope that at some point things would change…I still know in my heart that God has already won the war but right now I feel like my head and body are swimming against a current that will engulf me at any second.

Please keep our family in our prayers; especially my Mother in Law whose immediate situation is still fluid to say the least…..

Do We Have Joy

Hello all and thank you all so much for your love and support as I continue on this journey of mine that takes me places I never thought I would see.

Colossians 3:16- “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Sings psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

You know there are times in this mission God has given me that I really just want to throw my hands up and say “enough God, they don’t care, they won’t listen, their hearts are hardened, what is the point?” I see the secular world more evil than I thought was even possible and see a majority of God’s elect fighting amongst each other about the dumbest of things; all the while the Light of Christ has faded so dim in them, all you can see is their arguments. While defending our faith is important, it should not come at the cost of dimming the Light inside.

Lately, primarily due to the abortion issue, fellow Christians are talking about Republicans v Democrats and not ONE WORD about the Gospel and what it takes to have eternal life. Having opinions and voicing them is fine but look at what the passage here says, “teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom HE gives“. Is what you are saying on SM and otherwise fit within those parameters? If not, then we are simply giving into the Enemy and his plans.

Friends, I am not giving up but it sounds like many of you have. You have forgotten your first love and with it the love and compassion that once saved YOU from that evil lifestyle you fight so hard against. Get back into His Word friends, get back into your prayer closet, and yes have a voice about things your passionate about but do it with not YOUR wisdom but HIS. Amen?

Have a great Sunday everyone,

David

Meekness

James 1:20-“For the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God”.

I think we all could learn from this passage. God does not want or need us to be forceful and angry with people concerning the Gospel but instead with love and meekness.

Agape Love,

David

Loyalty

Good morning friends!

James 4:8 -“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.”

Keep in mind friends, James is talking to believers here. Is your loyalty divided?

More to come,

David
