A Christ Follower: The Journey

It never ceases to amaze me when I come across the following statistic:  20% of all homeless people are Men and Women who served in our nations military.  In other words, our Veterans are a significant number of people who have no place to be sheltered from the elements.  They likely have only the clothes on their backs and food comes to them from the mercy of others.   Therefore, we are going to attempt to reach out and bring them out of the cold into our Domiciliary, and hopefully we can (after feeding, clothing and sheltering them) help them get their lives back.  I am lookimg forward this Veteran's day weekend to start making a difference in these people's lives for the better.   This always gives me a blessing.

He works out everything according to THE PLAN, and He brings everything into conformity with His purpose and will.   Ephesians 1:11   The Sovereign God granted " We the People " of The United States of America the right to elect our leaders who will govern us.  We fulfilled our expression of this very precious privilege.  We did this because He has granted us this unique freedom, and it has served us well for more than 236 years.   God reigns, and He has established "The Law of Sowing and Reaping;"   for example like seeds produce like plants: Apple seeds always produce apples. "We The People" have always "reaped what we have sown. "  As President Obama has stated "Elections have consequences." Therefore " We The People " will learn what these consequences will when the time is right to know such things.   It will not take long for us see whether or not we have "Sown to the flesh " or "S own to the ...

Sometime ago one of our major denominations began a campaign that was successful in selling bracelets and hopefully motivated people to live better lives. It was the "What Would Jesus Do" campaign. Well during these Presidential/Congressional/State & Local Campaigns, this is certainly a question Christ Followers (Christians) would do well to ask: What would Jesus do?  Would He really vote for a man who has consistently produced legistlation, since his earliest days, that supports the killing of a baby, not only in the first trimester, but also in the second and as late as the last day of the pregnancy?  Would he really vote for a man who developed legistlation to protect a friend who left a baby to die, after the baby  survived a botched abortion? The President of The United States (and his party) hold o these extreme abortive measures. Keep in mind that Jesus said, of all children, "Let the little children come to me, and don't push them away.  For the...

By His own blood, He entered--once and for all-- into God's most Holy Place,  having purchased  eternal redemption for us.  Hebrews 9:12 " H e"                         " O nce And For All"                                            " P urchased"By His own Blood .        " E ternal" * * * " Redemption " For Us. Now  when I first started writing this particular blog today, I did not intend to have an acrostic pop up; however, as I simply wrote down what I thought were key words... well... H-O-P-E began to spring to life. Yes, indeed, the God of DO OVERS provides hope for hopeless people... People who...like you and me... broke God's law, for which a Holy God requires the death penalty. However, and yet... That is only part of the Love Story. ...

How precious are Your thoughts to me,  O God!  How great is the sum of them!   If I could count them all, they would outnumber all the grains of sand in the  Universe.   Psalm 139:17-18     Hears a challenge for you that can lift your spirit: After you read the Psalmist's word above, take time out to think about how you think about what you think about  these verses.  I don't mean to just read it quickly and stop.  I mean read it, and just sit with it "for a spell."  Make these words your own words or paraphrase them.  Write down your paraphrase and listen for God's message.     When I do this, I want to say WOW! How many grains of sand are in this entire Universe? About whom is the writer speaking? I tried counting all the sand in a teaspoon once, and gave up. (I did this after reading these verse.)  And I know the writer is talking very personally about whoever is re...

We Need God In America Again Lyrics By Carman ++View Video While Reading The Words++ George Washington, Thomas Jefferson Samuel Adams, First Chief Justice John Jay Names synonymous with the spirit of our country Founding fathers of the U.S.A. Over 200 years ago they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain By divine call Citing 27 biblical violations they wrote the Declaration of Independence With liberty and justice for all But something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone.For American liberty then put it in our schools as a light Or since "Give me liberty, or give me death," Patrick Henry said Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ We eliminated God from the equation of American life Thus eliminating the reason this nation first began From beyond the grave I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead You need God in America again Of the 55 men who formed the Constitution Fifty-two were active members of their church...
