BRINGING THE BACKSLIDERS HOME TO THE FATHER

BRINGING THE BACKSLIDERS HOME TO THE FATHER

“For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.” ( 1Peter 2:25 NAS )

1. Those who attempt to restore a backslider must themselves be walking closely with the Lord and make sure we are not in the same, or worse position as the backslider.

I remember seeing a preacher publicly… Continue

THE LORD'S WEEKEND DEVOTIONAL, SETTLING OUR SALVATION

Settling Our Salvation:

Perhaps you're familiar with the opening words of Fanny Crosby's hymn Blessed Assurance:

"Blessed assurance, JESUS is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of GOD, born of His Spirit, washed in His… Continue

COURAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF ADVERSITY

COURAGE IN THE MIDDLE OF ADVERSITY

Adversity is a great test of our courage. Courage is an attribute that God demands of us as we trek the road of life. Let us look at courage from a scriptural stand point. There are several different uses in the Scripture. Understanding these uses can help us to be more courageous in our every day walk with the Lord, and in the face of adversities that we might have to…

Praying in tongues......

I have been having a lot of questions regarding praying in tongues.

1. Are we all who are saved and filled with the Holy Sirit supposed to be speaking in tongues?
2. Why are some tongues so similar?
3. If I am saved and filled with the Holy Spirit but do not speak in tongues, what does it mean?

Blessings!!!

Pray for New York!

New Yorks' bad government is at it again! Mr. Patterson wants to legalize same-sex marriage in our state! Bad enough that Vermont just passed it last week,now they want NY! As a New Yorker and a Christian, I say NO

How can ANYONE,straight or gay,actually believe that same-sex unions are okay?There is NOTHING okay about it. It is a sin,a perversion,and it should be criminal. I'd expect something like this from Massachusetts or California,as they are so liberal,but NOT Vermont and NY! Thank… Continue

FELLOWSHIP.........

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.--- Hebrew 10:23-25

You know my brothers en sisters in Christ every time i go in my joined Christian sites... i am really… Continue

Give me time

It may take me some time to be a part of this group. I was a member of another group that recently closed down. I lost all my friends. music, and my blog posts. I am a member of another group (faith-space.com). I am hesitant to jump right into this group for fear it too may shut down. So, just give me a little more time to see how it goes. Thanks.

Shirley and Marcy

May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Mom was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.

So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he… Continue

Getting "Crushed"

Good Evening to All and to some Good Morning,

This is weird for me as I have never shared with so many people at one time. As I heard the words of our Pastor tonight in church all of this was a jumble. The contents of this blog are aggressive. Be strong, and bear with me. In the future I will write more and get much better at it. In the mean time, I will do my best.

As this is written know that this is for His Glory and I am just the bearer. This Easter Sunday I became a believer… Continue

I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SOMETHING :)

You never know how GOD ALMIGHTY is going to use you!!

Even if you think that you are not making a… Continue

Glory to God!

I had such a hard time going to sleep last night. After dozing off once, I awoke with a little girl's face in my mind's eye. My husband and I had met her a couple of weeks before at church. This little girl (about 9 or 10 years old) is always with her little brother, Matthew, and her grandparents at church. Little Matthew is a budding artist, drawing all during services as he sits next to his Grandma and Grandpa, which is what drew my husband's attention. We love to watch the children during… Continue

RADICALISM OR PROPAGANDA

From My Perspective - - -

What is happening to America? What has happened to the “land of the free and the home of the brave…”? What happened to the Constitution of the United States? Whatever happened to the Bill of Rights, namely, Article the third [Amendment I]: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and… Continue

A new day!!

Easter was my day to come to the Lord. I had hated religion and everything to do with Christians, which also meant that I hated Christ. What an awful thing. I hadn't realized the damage I was doing and how far I had moved away from the Lord. After watching a drama about the crucifixion, I got to hear the shouts and jeers of the crowd that had been gathered around Jesus as he hung on the cross, and the black energy that poured from the hearts and minds of those gathered. I was appalled and my… Continue

DEALING WITH MISSUNDERSTANDINGS

DEALING WITH MISSUNDERSTANDINGS

There are times in our lives when we have been judged wrongly, and there have been times when we also have judged some one else unfairly. The following story that took place in the book of Joshua exemplifies this so so well about misunderstandings.

“The people of Reuben, Gad, and East Manasseh went to Geliloth, near the Jordan River in the land of Canaan. There they built a… Continue

PREDATORY PURSUITS

From My Perspective - - -

The times in which we live are serious and uncertain. A brief glimpse of the current news is merely a microcosm of what is occurring throughout our world. North Korea and Iran with their nuclear ambitions; Pirates off the coast of Somalia and their ongoing seizure of unarmed merchant vessels for financial gain; the declaration of Israel to Iran to Stop Nuclear development or they will be stopped; Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (escalating into Pakistan);… Continue

Excerpts from Psalms

Pretty much how I am feeling lately...........

"14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart has turned to wax;

it has melted away within me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;

you lay me [b] in the dust of death.

19 But you, O LORD, be not far off;

O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

2 Turn your ear to me,

come quickly to my… Continue
