  Embracing sin,  What would that look like exactly,  have we become so easily complacent with the sin around and in our own lives, it has become more like a normalcy?   How is it that we fail attempt after attempt to overcome the very thing that drives us to repentence in the first place...  I have often been witness to such,  that has led so many into this path of, embracing sin...One only needs to read scriptures to see this pattern all through out  history...  I like the way D Brian…

in life we all go through something and i feel the reason is that God has a blueprint for us all each area we go through something cause he has our life set up and once you get through it it either gonna make you stronger or weaker but i prayer stronger so that you can be ready for the next stage to build. im going through mine and building higher and have learned from it each building some have raised some have fell but im still building and stsnding with him.

Priest on-call in the Temple

Requirement of a priest of the temple

It is written…. Exodus 40: 12-15 New English Translation (NET Bible) 

 “You are to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.  Then you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments and anoint him and sanctify him so that he may minister as my…

1 John 5:4

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.



1 John 5:5

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?…

My clouds are releasing rain over you, enabling many seeds planted in the soil of your heart, to respond and grow. Like the farmer who waits with patience and faith, trusting in the goodness of God, so must you (James 5:7, Galatians 6:9). Do not wait with a maybe attitude. Have a heart filled with anticipation and expectation. Watch the horizon and know your time has come. What was once an overgrown, neglected piece of wooded land has now become a fruitful field, a dispenser of lush and much…

Long ago my Lord, I desired…

to share myself with You completely.

Under Your everlasting covenant,

You etched Your message of Love

upon my open and tender heart.

Now I radiate with joy and knowledge

from having Your Principles imprinted

on my life and mind’s thinking.

As I’m steadfast on Your firm foundation,

continue to enhance our relationship.

Cleanse me from the impurities that stain,

as You have previously promised.

Show me how to find and…

Real Truth is still being sought out,

in this ever growing Age of Information;

the rise of social media has added

to the noise against spiritual institutions.

Unfortunately, ungodly behaviors continue to play out

within our society, neighborhoods and church pulpits.

We Christians must wholeheartedly repent now,

before His divine Grace, we unwittingly forfeit.

Sacred texts attest to God’s existence by faith,

while Science can only prove Him via…

Do you know what you’re doing?

Search your heart’s motivation.

What is it, that keeps you going?

Are there… corresponding actions?

Refrain from frenetic, frantic busyness,

for now is the time for quiet waiting;

stop the phony acts of supposed holiness;

discontinue the false, religious debating.

Endeavors taken are still your choice.

Can your actions stand before God’s pop quiz?

Are you listening solely to His voice?

Is the plan you’re…

I am  learning as a believer we are to daily attach ourselves to the grace of God.Living in our own strength is nothing but hard labor and toil. This why Jesus said this in Matthew 11: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Jesus did not come to give us the burdensome of keeping the commandments in our own power. But he came to give us His  Holy Spirit  which makes us able to keeping the 10 commandments and it make it easy for us to do and carry. AS…

RAMBLING: Where You There?

I stood trembling a distance away and watched as the soldiers roughly laid Jesus on the cross which lay on the sun drenched ground. The blood from many wounds stained the cross dripping into the cracked earth quenching its thirst.

I saw the blood as it flowed from His head on which His crown of agony pierced his noble his noble brow.

I saw the roughly hewed cross soak up the blood from his his torn back. I heard the hammer as it drove each spike…

Recently, I went onto a chat site about God and Jesus that connected me with people around the world. They were there to help and answer questions, which they did with understanding towards my personal beliefs, which I thank them for. I am not a Christian. I do not believe in God. However, I do not think that because I don't believe in Him now, that I can't gain an understanding about God and Christ and the Bible. 

I would like to pose a question to you, and would be grateful for any…

"If a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully."

2 Timothy 2:5

In other words, it is not a bare striving, but a striving according to certain rules. But these rules are spiritual rules;…

It is time to get rid of the old wine skin an the old wine. And bring forth new wineskin and the new wine . We cannot mix in both the law and grace. You cannot contain in your heart the law with grace. Because it always going to be a struggle. After all the law reminds you of your sin. As the word of God says in Romans 7:7- So what are we going to say? That the Law is sin? Absolutely not! But I wouldn’t have known sin except through the Law. I wouldn’t have known the desire for what…

Help me Lord to focus solely on Thee!

Issues and challenges of Life come and go,

defining me with my soul’s scarred essence.

Yet I remain, beneath Your heavenly flow!

Allow Your Presence to wash over me,

removing all evidence of sins’ stains.

Continue breaking the ungodly links of…

the remnant of shackling, prisoner chains.

Open my eyes fully that I may see

the way You view me within Your Kingdom.

Let this divine, flooding confidence

gird me…

Have you envisioned

     our Lord upon The Cross?

Have you seen

     those considered lost?

Did you notice

     the absence of Grace?

Did you observe

     tears staining His face?

Can you imagine

     the agony of His pain?

Have you accepted the Gift

     of the Lamb that was slain?

On that day of crucifixion

     Love was brokenhearted

and divine reconciliation

     was quietly started.

Christ mourned the…

O Lord, I have purposed in my spirit

to sing of Your greatness and mercy!

Before You I humbly bow and kneel;

with my tongue, I exalt only Thee!

The enemy constantly surrounds me;

my joy they look to slyly steal.

You are my Maker and I’m the clay,

previously molded upon Thy Potter’s wheel.

Since Your words drip from my heart,

no longer can I remain silent.

Use me to write this poetry, filled…

with messages that are “heaven…
