The Common Goal of Salvation

-

 


The Holy Spirit's got me covered!  One of my angels He assigns to me is guarding me so i am never alone.  i always have company!  The Holy Spirit's living in and looking at heart!  The best style of worship is the one that most authentically represents my love for God.  God assured me a long time ago that this is so.  i was doing nothing wrong at Freedom Worship Center--an ironic name for a church that imposed a worship style.  i'll let God handle them for that--stand up, hands up, sing these mundane out of key range music which takes up most of the service and the minister seemingly ill-prepared for his sermon.  Which could've been the reason for the long drawn out music selections.  Not for me.

There's so much clamoring around me; and yet, i can find the separation  and the silence.  Now that's my kind of worship.  The Spirit of God has touched my soul so i need not despair if it seems He is absent.  The Holy Spirit will always be dwelling here.  i study the Word for myself and pray to the Holy Spirit for enlightenment.  May i be a channel of light even in the ministry of the night?  He watches me even from afar, just as i've watched someone i'm thinking about right now from afar.

It's nice to see Christianity in action and i support such action.  i don't mind who the congregation consists of; just being able to see everyone with the common goal of salvation.  When they spit on the sidewalk when they pass me by, maybe they're thinking that i'm a Christian or i look like a Christian by my demeanor, maybe i look like a lamb disguised in wolf's clothing in the wolves den.  i can never disguise the lamb in my eyes.  Maybe my presence is showing them too much peace and serenity.  So they spit and scorn.  Just like they did to Jesus.

 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...
