Let's Not Forget the Holy Spirit

-

 i hear a lot of people say they don't believe in God.  i suppose that leaves them off the hook about believing in Jesus and not reading the Bible.  i'm wondering why Jesus says, "if it weren't so I would have told you," instead of just saying, "I'm telling that in My Father's house are many mansions and I'm going to prepare a place for you."  People seems to hear the if there were not many mansions in My Father's house and have concluded that there is no heaven at all.  i can't answer for what people think.  i wouldn't want to be challenged to read anybody's mind.  

i hear a lot of people say that Jesus is not God.  i can only refer them to Hebrews chapter one, verse eight and let them draw their own conclusions.  i don't think i'm worthy of evangelism.  i think God has something else in store for me to do, since i've never been married.  Since i repented from the gay lifestyle.  There must be a reason He put me through this trial.  i would've been beaten and prosecuted for remaining in that lifestyle and i'm being beaten and prosecuted for giving the rainbow back. But i'm going to wear that Taking The Rainbow Back tee-shirt anyway.  Watch!  i may even get thrown out of the library!

"If you had known Me, you would have known My father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him." --[John 14:7]

The Helper abides with me forever; so many debates about the Father and Son--Let's not forget the Holy Spirit.  Some will accuse me of preaching; others will say i'm shoving religion down their throats while all along i'm just stating what i believe are the facts.  Just the facts, man, just the facts.

 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...
