Good morning people of God! Many Christians claim to have a favorite scripture; I am certainly no different. Anyone who has ever spoken to me about it or read anything that I've ever written regarding the subject knows that my absolute favorite scripture is 1 Corinthians 2:9. To be certain the whole of 1 Corinthians 2 speaks volumes to me. But because the Bible is so very rich with wisdom, knowledge and literary beauty, it can be difficult to show absolute favoritism to only one scripture. Please bear with me over the next few entries as I take liberty in sharing a few of my favorites. This is one of those with which I have be very careful: I mean a Holy dance can break out anytime I hear, read, or recite it: Psalms 20:7 Some...
Nothing we will carry to eternity. So, we must seek those things that are above where the Lord is waiting for you and for me. If we just minimize our wants and desires, Jesus will bless our life. Seek those things that are above. Not the things of the earth. I shall do so in the name of the Lord. Amen
A young man, thinking himself to be perhaps philosophical, actually said to me recently, "Have you no shame?" And while I didn’t answer him directly, I did consider the question introspectively. Ashamed for what? I haven't lied on anyone, falsified anyone's drug test, bribed anyone to torment and cast the homeless out of a shelter. I haven't subverted justice to anyone, certainly not to the least among us. Therefore, ashamed for what? Being homeless? Hmmmm. It's never about the vessel personally, but rather that which the vessel represents, which in my assignment just so happens to be "The Least of These." Matthew 25:45 "He will reply, ’Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for...
If we want a deeper relationship with the Lord, then ask to fill your empty soul with His holy presence. Let us all feast on Him alone and those things the world, the flesh and the devil offers us will not come to us. Fill our cup o Lord. I lift it up Lord. Come and fill this quench of my soul. Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more. Fill my cup Lord and make me whole. Yes Jesus, please, fill our hearts with joy, peace and happiness. We love You with all our heart right now and forever more. Amen
No Other Gods—Exodus 32 Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. While we may not bow down to a golden calf, the temptation to idolatry is very much alive in our day and world! Do we serve the three Ps—personal freedom, political power, and prosperity—or the Lord? Let Us Pray: God I ask You in Jesus’ name, “Search me, God, and know my heart...” (Psalm 139:23). God show me what I value too much and convict me of any idolatry. God train my heart to worship and desire You above all things, people, and places. Bless me to love what You love and hate what You hate. God please do the same for every member of my family, all my friends, each and every member of my church, and this prayer site. Thank You Jesus. Amen.
How important is forgiveness to your salvation? Forgive or the Father will not forgive. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." - Matthew 6:14-15 - And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. - Mark 11:25 - Break one law you break them all. (This would also includes unforgiveness) 9. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10. For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. - James 2:9-10 -...
Holy God we praise Thy name. Lord of all, we bow before You. All on earth Your scepter claim, All in heaven above adore You. Infinity Your vast domain, Everlasting is Your reign. A heart of gold God has given to all of us. Full of love, mercy and compassion. Smiling faces so happy to see, Jesus lives in their heart and makes their soul rejoice in Him. Two shining eyes see everything, our needs are met and the blessings of the Lord falls on those who seek Him above all things on earth. God did not break our hearts, we are rejoicing Him alone. We are following Him all the way to heaven. Continue to live in the holy presence of Jesus. He delights in the praises of His people. Rejoice in the Lord always. I say, rejoice...
Our dear Lord is our shelter and our strength. When our weak body or mind are felt, then we call on the Lord to give us strength to continue on serving and loving Jesus. In Him alone we find deep joy, peace and happiness. The world will mock and ignore all the wonderful promises God has given us. But we believe, we trust and wait for Him. Day and night, He is the Comfort of our troubled souls. Without Him we have no life at all. When we are tired and confused, He gives us strength and puts us in the right path that leads to heaven. Our path may be wrong. Maybe we lost our way. We are full of fear and trembling. Our heart is falling apart. Then Jesus comes along. His hands of mercy stretching toward us. Come my son, Come...
You know the saying goes: "If you don't have anything good to say; don't say anything at all." That saying, though not verbatim, is somewhat, backed up scripturally: Philippians 4:6. Except in being led by the Holy Spirit in assignment, for the most part, I try to adhere to that little golden nugget. It just seems that lately when something praiseworthy happens in my midst, it involves out-of-towners. Case and point, a few weeks ago I had a random conversation with a rather distraught Green Bay Packers fan. During our talk the subject of Houston's homeless population arose, well because it was kinda right there in our faces, at which point I told him that I too was homeless. At first he had trouble believing me; but as the...
