"And They'll Know We Are Christians By Our Love"

-

 Reaching out to God every day now.  Not one day goes by without me thinking of Him and the Holy Spirit.  The Word is always the best place to start.  Spreading His Word to the next generation is good, but there has to be more than listening to Christian music.  i am a child of God and can no longer love the world.  YAH, help me to channel in with those You approve of for me, so t hat Your Word i spread and people are living by the precepts of Your Word.  The Beatitudes are a great place to start.  Reaching out with love and humility is more Christian than anything else.  "And they'll know we are Christians by our love."  And that love is defined by God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and our guiding Holy Spirit within.  i can't just hear the song sung, i have to live it.  Help me, Abba Father, to display the kind of love that only You approve of.


i like the concept of "Divine Disobedience" brought on by Pastor Jack Hibbs as he lead the Congress in prayer, having written he prepared with the inspiration of God and not under the parameters of the U. S. Congress.  Unfortunately because of this some in the Legislature tried to claim that Pastor Jack was one of the instigators of January 6.  If they have to go through those kinds of tactics, then apparently Pastor Jack had done something right, and i'm sure the Lord is quite pleased with him.  And that's the goal of everyone of us, especially if we claim to be Christian.  If we claim to be Christian, then we obey God's laws and not man's. 

That's not to say i still don't go against the will of God.  Oh, i slipped up last night as a matter of fact.  Lord, i know that it's wrong what i did and i ask You to be patient with me and may the Holy Spirit give me something else to do from now on--something that is worthy of Your audience.  Abba Father, strengthen my inner realm because the outer realm is forceful and too strong to handle by myself.  In Jesus' name.  Amen

 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...
