I Was Just Riding the Surf

 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life--[Galatians 6:8]

The Truth sets me free to be greatly used by God.  i am free to be used; i've got to let go of finding all the answers and solving all the problems because this Book has the answers to problems.  In both the Father and Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. --[Colossians 2:2-3]

Satan must be scared out of his wits of me!  He must see me as a threat to his work in the world.  i'd love to be a threat to Satan in this world.  Imagine all us true-blue Christians gathered against him.  i wonder how fast he'd run.  i'd like to see Satan flee!  The Lord's already made him flee!  The Lord sealed His victory on Calvary.  Praises and Blessings to the Lord!  Satan could never take God and Christ by surprise.  He knows what he's going to do before it's done.  He knows when Satan's demonic allies are going to tempt me, trick me, lie to me, fool me into being drawn away from my Lord.  The Lord always provides an escape route.

The testing of my faith produces patience. - [James 1:2].  It produces power over sin that frees me to serve Christ more effectively as He takes this pain in my mouth away, eradicates this headache and clears the room in which i dwell of air and noise pollution.  The devil and his demons, so full of air and vice and themselves have a field day when they watch me sin because my sins are against God.  Oh how they love to see that!  I didn't recognize that for so many years.  i was just riding the surf away from the One who died for my sins.

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
