Paradise By the End of the Day

-

He is the Author and Finisher of my faith why wouldn't i look to Him?  Who could possibly be as trustworthy?  Who could give unconditional love?  Who else could tell a criminal on the cross to His right that He promises to see him in paradise by the end of the day?  Bless the Lord, O my soul.  And forget not all His benefits.  Who forgives all your iniquities.  Who heals all your diseases. --[Psalm 103: 1-3]  i am being gifted with the knowledge of God.  Why would i honor anything else that goes against the knowledge of God? -- [2 Corinthians 10:5]



You ask me why i'm such a Jesus freak?  Because i study His word.  Because He's in every book of the Bible; there have been books i've read that show me that He's in every book of the Bible.  That's a good reason to me to becoming a Jesus freak.  i could've spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars to entertain myself with foolish things that only distract me from Jesus Christ and His truth.  i had done that for many misguided years.  i had foolishly turned into the wrong room because i was simple minded when i thought i reeked of intelligence.  Oh, i reeked all right!

The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."  They are corrupt.  They have done abominable works.  There is none who does good. --[Psalm 14:1, 53:1] When i called on Him He answered saying, "Here I am." --[Isaiah 58:9] i no longer despised wisdom and instruction.  Why would i do that when to do otherwise would have probably had me arrested or dead by now?  i turn my enemies over to You.  Vengeance is Yours while i seek more and more wisdom and knowledge from Your word and from the messengers You've sent my way to support.  Amen

Broiled Fish and Some Honeycomb

 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...
