Vereran' Day

In this day of revised history and never hearing about the sacrifices of men and women of our military, let us remember if not for two things we would not be a nation today.
First thing is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, He gave us this nation - committed it to our hands to be a nation under GOD and as of yet He has preserved it, and allowed it to be a force in the world today. Without Him we would be nothing - God has kept the nations that fear HIM.
 Second are the men and women who serve the country in the military, who leave family and country behind to go to places to fight to preserve what we have as Americans, who sometimes never return as they have given all for us,  and to deomonstrate to those who are in bondage under tyrants, what it is like to be free.
Let us be sure to do two things this next Tuesday 11/11/2014 - thank God and those who have served and are serving now.

election 2014

This post has nothing to do with Calvinism- it has to do with the civil elections of Novermber 4. Living in Kansas I am a red shirt guy - conservative in my values, respector of life, against the same sex mariiage club, believe there is way to much government waste and pandering to those who use the system to just sit and do nothing and get paid for it. I am for immigration and opposed to illegal immigration. There are to many things that need to be done in our country that can be done by those who are currently unemployed. So.................I voted and now I wait to see if there will be constructive change to satus quo polictics, where the fat slugs of the Washington elite sit and do nothing but change seats and now start to pay back political cronies at the expense of the public once again. OR if there will be change. I pray for change! Maybe the will and welfare of the people will be listened to this time. Oh please Elephants dont blow it again! Oh donkey's wise up and strengthen the nation with wiser choices!
Please pray for our elected officials - Pray they get it together- or do like we have just done and pray they are defeated in the next election.
God is good all the time

Who is Jesus

There has been a lot of chatter lately about which camp you belong to; the prepostneoorthocalmeniancessacontinuameliniapremidpost camp. Well my reply is who is Jesus to you, describe your relationship with Him, are you friend or foe, for or against,is He Savior, Lord, friend, Prophet, Priest, God. To me Jesus is who counts so I don't belong to a camp I belong to HIM. amen and amen

Heretics

I have noticed lately there is an unbelievable amount of heretic tagging lately, to the reformed camp if you believe in the on going manifestation of the Holy Spirit (tongues and prophecy, etc) your not only a heretic but your not even saved. If you don't speak in tongues and say your saved in the some pentecostal camps your not only a heretic but your not saved. To the replacement crowd if you teach that Israel is still the apple of God's eye, you got it, your a heretic.
It is so good to know that God is still on the throne, ruling, reigning and assuring those of us who are being labeled, that we are still the children of God. Thank you Lord!

Doers of the word

Have you considered at all what it means to be a doer of the Word? We have many people in the church today who believe that their intellectual response to the Word is simply intake, there is very little to no out put in their lives. How sad to think that all this knowledge is going to waste because there is no wisdom(application) in response
Let us pray that the Lord will give us that kick in the pants we need to get going.

Are we back in Egypt

Have noticed how in the book of Genesis, when there was great famine, the course of action that Joseph took?
1. He took all the money from the people
2. Since the money was gone he then took the livestock
3. when the livestock was gone, he took the land and made people dependant on the Government
4. then he gave the people grain, they planted crops and the government /Pharaoh then took a
    fifth of  the crop
Sounds like the plan of our government o make us a people dependant upon them for all of our needs, yet this happened 3,000 years ago.
Now everything is different but still remains the same...

Just a short note of encouragement, I was reminded this morning about trials, it seems that when things are going ok, that there are problems that alwasy pop up. And how important it is to trust the Lord, with your whole heart, mind and strength.  He will get you through.  The trial is for you benefit not your defeat. Grow, grow, grow, its not a battle cry, for the battle belongs to the Lord. Its a process, sometimes slow sometimes fast, but it is continual and necessary.

Why we are the way we are

I was asked to go and visit a man who is in his last days on the earth. As I shared with him how much God loved him, and how God wanted Him to surrender his life the to Him. I realized how much time people waste in not serving the Lord.
Fruitless, meaningless actions in service to self or serving with self motivated actions words and deeds, only serve as seconds, minutes and hours lost in empty attempts to gain something in this world. If we are not serving God its just vanity, empty vanity.
We don't serve with a selfish motive of personal gain, we serve to glorify the Lord and to exalt His Name. Unsaved men dying hold on to this life as hard as they can, for its all they have, in the life to come they only will have pain and suffering.

2014

Ok so we made into the New year by God's grace and mercy. So what will this New Year have to offer?
What ever it is we should understand one thing God is on our side...we will have victory in His power and by staying on His course, we can't forget that. If you want to have a good year then get behind God's will for you. So what is God's will , but to justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. That's enough for starters, the Holy Spirit will lead you from there.
