Tell me How

It is a beautiful thing to sit in a world that was created by God for his people and to be aware of the blessing of God for his people. many go through life with no direction or motivation in a battle that is them against the world when as a Christian it’s me and Jesus on the winning teaam together. When will people learn about the GRACE of God and the gift that he has given for you and me. I am unsure. What i am sure of in the end God will be the final decision that we have either accepted or rejected.

Brennan Manning said, “It is always true to some extent that we make our images of God. It is even truer that our image of God makes us. Eventually we become like the God we image.”

The inage of God we have is the visual of the Glod we serve and how we see the love he has for you and I.

In what the news called “The Miracle at Quecreek,” nine miners trapped for three days 240 feet underground in a water-filled mine shaft “decided early on they were either going to live or die as a group.” The 55 degree (Fahrenheit) water threatened to kill them slowly by hypothermia, so according to one news report “When one would get cold, the other eight would huddle around the person and warm that person, and when another person got cold, the favor was returned.” “Everybody had strong moments,” miner Harry B. Mayhugh told reporters after being released from Somerset Hospital in Somerset. “But any certain time maybe one guy got down, and then the rest pulled together. And then that guy would get back up, and maybe someone else would feel a little weaker, but it was a team effort. That’s the only way it could have been.” They faced incredibly hostile conditions together—and they all came out alive together. What a picture of the body of Christ.

Saturday

I got up early this morning and was reminded of my childhood. As a kid i would be the first up and turn on the TV and watch cartoons, all morning. It was the coolest to be able to sit and dream about far away places with far away friends casing ”bunny rabbits” and saving crime fighters. What happen to the old days and the cartoons. Now all we have are reality shows and un realistic cartoons. Is the world in a state of decay?

The world we live in is changing, everyday. The cool stuff is not like it used to be, people are different, or are they? If the world is to change the people must change. We must change our focus and direction in life. We as a nation need to remember that babies are special people, older people are just grown up kids, and before long we will be old too. The world needs to show love to all we meet, the Love of Jesus.

From Scobby Doo to late night tv we all are in the process of getting older, we just need to remember that, the happiness of life.

Spring Time

I love this time of year with the birds, green grass, and the Master’s. i am amazed at the beauty that one place can have. I wonder what it looks like the rest of the year, are the trees ugly, the creeks overflowed, and where do all the people hide. See the Master’s is a lot like a christians walk with Jesus. Some days we look all perfect, and trimmed, with budding flowers in our life, and on other days we just look worn out, unmanaged and covered with brush from a hard winter.

If you and i are to be the picture of Christ love in a world that is gray with options called sin, we must be a beautiful reflection of God and his GRACE. You and i are to let the love of God cover us and wrap His arms around us and when we do we will let his healing and his forgiveness be the light of our path and the reason for our happiness. I know that not everyday can be perfect, there are potholes in every highway pf life, but when we trust God he will help us miss the problems we meet.

Being a leader means that we teach our people how to choose the best road to travel and then how to prepare for the journey. If we lead by living and respond by doing, people will see our desire for them to be the best they can be and to go the furthest they can go for the Kingdom of God. remember,

For those who live according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.”

 

streched

 I am convinced that if we are to grow in who we are than we need to be streched out of our comfort zone. I f its a relationship, a job, or just personal growt there has to be a “strech” of our person. I love the thought that God can do that, he can take us past the place of who we are and lead us to who he wants us to be. God wants us to be more than we are and to grow in personal relationship . God wants you to be all he can be in you,

how do we get to the place where God wants us, we trust in his grace.

Today is

I sit at the window and look out on the hills and what do i see on the 5th day of April…SNOW! I am so amazed at the changes that caN happen in just a few hours. In the past few i have seen, sleet, sun and snow all in a 5 mile stretch of SW Va. When will it stop, when?

I do believe that church is just like the weather, always changing and hard to predict. There is always an ongoing situation that attempts to direct the PLAN of God to the plan of man when really all we do is tie the hands of the Lord. If we the church are ever to brake loose from the hold of the devil we need to Turn LOOSE ourselves. I am convinced that when we “Let go and Let God” the Kingdom will be blessed. When the lies of the enemy stop ticklin our hears and the unchurched become our passion we will see a change in the way our world functions.

Our world is so wrapped up in being religiously correct we forget to be biblically functional. God has a plan, and it’s not mans. He has the playbook, we just need to follow HIS instruction.

 
 

the return

it has been a while since we last blogged together, but in this time i have been seeking and searching for the blessing of God. Each of us go through these travels, but many times we get lost in the crowd. I have been relocated not only in the “Zip Code” but also o=in the spiritual. God is teaching me that the travel we are on is a short one but we make it into forever. if you and i are aware that the days we spend here in the physical are just a whisper in the wind than the time with Christ is beyond our mortal understanding.

i have taken some time for reflection and growth, this is a good thing. as we allow God to teach us, we develop into the person he is choosing. To many people try to tell God their plan when they should just follow and believe. the call of the church, you and I , is to share the love of Christ with the world. Black, white, red, yellow green, all are in need of love.
