"Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3.  Jesus was with God in the beginning, He was there when everything was created.  He took part in creating mankind.  He was there creating life.  As we move into the Christmas season, the most important thing to remember is that Jesus is the greatest gift that has ever been given.  Jesus was with God creating life in the beginning, and when He came to live in human flesh, He was coming to give life again. We have all sinned, we have all broken God's [...]

Freedom in Christ Gal 5:13

2020-11-09T03:26:12+00:00

"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free.  But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather serve one another humbly in love."  Galatians 5:13.  When Christ saves us, we receive forgiveness of our sins.  We are freed from the bondage of sin.  With this freedom, we are to serve Christ and love our neighbor.  We are not to use our freedom to run back and do the things we used to do before Christ saved us.  The old sinful person is dead and gone, we do not need to try to dig him up and resuscitate [...]

Friend Request

2020-10-25T03:01:46+00:00

When someone sends you a Friend Request on Facebook, you have to choose to accept or decline, it is as simple as that.  If you wait to accept that request, then you are basically declining the request.  God will draw a person to salvation, He will present you with a choice, you can confess that Jesus is Lord and Savior, or you choose to not confess Him.  God wants to save you from your sin.  God is holy, and our sin is just the opposite.  God is a righteous Judge, and He will punish sin.  God is also merciful, and He [...]

Certificate of Forgiveness

2020-10-06T03:02:43+00:00

There was an old Tom and Jerry episode where Tom had to get Jerry to sign a certificate of forgiveness for Tom to go to heaven, otherwise he would go to hell.  Tom only had to get one mouse to sign that paper, but, God makes it even easier for us.  We don't have to get a piece of paper and have one of our friends sign it saying that they forgive us of all our sins.  All we have to do is confess that Jesus is Lord and Savior, ask God to forgive us and save us, and believe in [...]

Skim Milk

2020-09-21T03:08:58+00:00

Skim milk is milk that has been watered down substantially.  It is almost to the point that you can't call it milk anymore, there may be a little tiny bit of milk, but that's it.  There are many who water down the Word of God.  They compromise on their beliefs because the message of Christ does not sit well with some people.  Most do not like to hear that they are sinners, nor do they want to think of the punishment they deserve, that we all deserved.  Yet as Christians who have accepted Christ and know what happens to people who [...]

Election

2020-09-15T03:16:43+00:00

I understand that the topic of election/predestination is a very touchy subject.  I understand that there are several different view points, and I respect that, all I ask is that you hear me out.  I believe that the grace of God is free to all who will come to God and ask Him for forgiveness through the blood of Christ.  Here are a few reasons why.  First, God told Abraham, "and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me." Genesis 22:18.  I take this to mean that all people from all nations will be [...]

The past has passed

2020-09-14T02:19:00+00:00

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.  See, I am doing a new thing!  Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?  I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19.  There have been some people clearing land not too far from our house.  It used to be completely wooded and now there are only two or three trees that have been left standing on this one part of the property.  I've passed by there numerous times, and I can't help but wonder why they left this one oak tree.  It [...]

His Scars

2020-09-10T01:42:57+00:00

I was listening to some music today and there was a song I hadn't listened to before come up.  The name of the song was, "The Scar that Held my Name".  In the song the singer talks about having a dream and seeing Jesus.  In the dream Jesus took His robe off and showed the singer a scar on His back that held the singer's name.  Jesus was whipped to the point where one more lash would have killed a normal human, and then he walked a little over a mile I believe; uphill for a good portion of the trip, [...]

Anticipation

2020-08-04T02:13:14+00:00

With it now being August many deer hunters are getting anxious.  Deer season is right around the corner, and many cannot wait to get in the woods, whether they get a deer or not, many just want to feel the cool weather and experience God's creation.  This is how we as Christians should long for the return of Christ.  We should be looking for Christ to return any minute, and we should desire to see our Savior.  We should be longing for our heavenly home.  Yet, while we are waiting, we need to be preparing.  Hunters have to buy a license [...]

He guides me

2020-07-27T02:06:41+00:00

"He refreshes my soul.  He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake."  Psalm 23:3.  The Bible is full of references where it talks about God's guidance.  God wants to comfort us and reassure us that He will be with us.  He will guide us in the way that is true and the way that He desires for us to travel.  He Loves us, and His plans are good for us.  He wants us to grow in Him and to grow closer to Him everyday.  He wants us to be able to follow His lead in how we walk [...]
