He Arose…….

So we could spend eternity with him!

I'm not writing this to anger my fellow Christians. I writing this so that we might ask ourselves the following questions.

How would Jesus would fit in modern day America?

Would he be welcomed or would he meet the same demise he met when he first appeared?

How would he be welcomed in your church?

How would his criticism of your church be received, by your church leaders?

Would he tell America it needs to spend more on bombs, weapons of mass destruction, etc. and less on the poor and disenfranchised?

What would he think upon seeing Christian leaders living opulent lifestyles while the masses suffer?

How would the established Christian community act when folks stopped listening to them and started listening to him, at his mass rallies?

How would the established Christian community respond when folks started giving their money to Jesus rather than them?

If Jesus were with us today where would he be living? Would he be living with the masses or living in opulence with rich religious leaders?

Would Jesus have a concealed carry permit?

Would he pass a background check?

If he drew a crowd on a busy street would he be cited for not having permit for a rally?

How would the fast food industry react if Jesus bought two big Mac's and five orders of french fries and fed thousands with some left over? Would they lobby their Christian conservative friends in Congress to stop that?

How would the Wine industry react if Jesus started turning water into wine? Would they lobby their Christian conservative friends in Congress to stop that?

How would the healthcare insurance companies react if Jesus started healing the sick for free? Would they lobby their Christian conservative friends in Congress to stop that?

Just asking. Feel free to ask your questions in the comment section.

How can someone…..

Look at nature and not believe there is a God?  Stuff just didn’t spring up for nothiing!   Not trying to force my faith on anyone, just saying…

Maybe this will be the year

When I finally get it all together and receive everything that God has in store for me!

A Prayer

Dear Lord, please comfort those who lost loved ones in the school shooting today.  Let them know that you are with them always.

Please Lord

I pray that somehow, you would find someway for Nicie and I to be together.  I love her so much, more then any other woman I’ve been attracted to.  I am not imagining my feelings towards her.

Being A Christian………

Doesn’t mean that life will be easy. As a matter of fact, it will be harder with all the stuff thrown in your path by Satan. But never forget, no matter what’s going  on, Jesus is always with you!

Sometimes.........

When I'm feeling down, I remember what all God has blessed me with:

A Good Family

Living in the greatest country in the world

The Best Best Friend In The Whole World

Good Friends

A Good Church And Church Family

And Life!

Getting Back

Lord, I think I'm starting to drift away from you, please help me get back!

I know I'm Not Supposed To..

Sometimes I feel embarrassed at being a Christian, with the faith being hijacked by extremists. It’s one thing to condemn someone for their beliefs/ lack thereof , or sexuality, but to say that those people should be killed?  That goes against every thing Jesus taught.  Did he say kill people of other religions, like some want done to Muslims? NO! Did he say kill gay people? AGAIN, NO! Did he say try to take over an elected government and replace it with a Theocracy? STLL NO!  Where are the moderates?  They probably don’t think I’m a Christian because of my political beliefs.  But  I don’t care, I know my relationship with Christ is solid!

Lord, I pray that people start coming back to my Sunday School Class.  I love teaching it, it's helped me start to get over my shyness. It will only keep going if it's your will...

Also Lord, I thank you that Lori has been calling us, and I pray that here treatments are successful.

Dear Lord, I am so glad that Vanessa's Brother has awoken from his coma!  I pray that he makes a full recovery and can resume his life. Also, I pray that Vanessa has a successful trip to rehab, and that she can kick her pill habit.

Some Prayer Requests:

For Vanessa, her Brother, and her their family

My Church that it continue to grow

For all of those who have lost loved ones this week

Lord, I thank you that Lori called us last week, and that she sounded pretty good.  I pray that you would heal her of her addictions and her health problems, and use my parents or myself to help her realize that she needs you.

Happy Easter! Let's not forget what it's all about, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus!

9 Things Forgiveness Is Not

The below is excerpted from "Taking Out the Trash," chapter 5 of Real Marriage and the sermon topic this week.

1. Forgiveness is not denying, approving, or diminishing sin that is committed against us.

We cannot say we are fine, that it was no big deal, or that, since it was in the past, we’ve just moved on. We must be honest about the reality of the sin if we want the forgiveness to be equally earnest. In forgiving, we are, in fact, saying they are wrong, we do not approve of their sin, and that it really is a big deal and not a trivial matter to us.

2. Forgiveness is not naïveté.

Naïve people are prone to live as if the world were not filled with depraved sinners capable of evil, and they often become naïve by not really looking at the sinfulness of sin, including their own. Such people are not forgiving sin as much as they are ignoring it.

3. Forgiveness is not enabling sin.

To forgive people is not to remain stuck in their cycle of sin, thus being complicit and enabling their continued transgression.

4. Forgiveness is not waiting for someone to acknowledge sin, apologize, and repent.

The sad truth is that some people will never fully repent, and others never at all. Others we will never see again, or they will die before we hear an apology. We forgive because it is what God requires and what we need, not because our offenders have apologized.

5. Forgiveness is not forgetting about sin committed against us.

It is actually impossible to completely forget such things. This is why when God says, “Their sin I will remember no more,” it does not mean that he has no memory, but rather that he continually chooses not to bring it up or keep it in the forefront of his thinking. Indeed, because God is all-knowing, it is, in fact, impossible for him to actually forget something.

6. Forgiveness is not dying emotionally and no longer feeling the pain of the transgression.

Rather, forgiveness allows us to feel the appropriate depth of grievous pain but choose by grace not to be continually paralyzed or defined by it.

7. Forgiveness is not a one-time event.

Those who have been sinned against commonly have seasons when they feel afresh the pain of past hurts and have to forgive their transgressors yet again.

8. Forgiveness is not reconciliation.

It takes one sinner to repent, and one victim to forgive, but it takes both to reconcile. Therefore, unless there is both repentance by the sinner and forgiveness by the victim, reconciliation cannot occur, which means the relationship remains continually broken until reconciliation does occur. Forgiveness is the beginning of potential reconciliation but is not in and of itself reconciliation. Forgiveness takes a moment. The trust that reconciliation requires is gained slowly and lost quickly.

9. Forgiveness is not neglecting justice.

In fact, if a crime has been committed, we can simultaneously forgive someone and call the police to arrest him or her. God will deal with every sin of every human being justly. For those who repent of sin and come to faith in Jesus Christ, justice came at the cross of Jesus, when our Savior suffered and died in our place for our sins. For those who do not repent of sin and come to faith in Jesus Christ, their justice will come in the punishment that is assigned to them in the conscious eternal torments of hell. By not seeking vengeance, we are not neglecting justice, but rather trusting God for perfect justice and getting ourselves out of the middle between the sinner and God. Romans 12:19 instructs precisely this: “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’”

We know that we are not bitter when we actually want those who have sinned against us to be maturing Christians and, in addition to praying for them, we forgive them in hopes of showing them the gospel of grace.

Witnessing isn't always telling someone about Jesus. Living a Christ-like life and being a good example is also a witness, albeit a silent one. Sometimes, that's all it takes...

I am nothing without you Lord!

Let's not forget what Christmas is all about: The birth of our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ!

Mary was a courageous woman, probably the most courageous one of all time. She took her destiny as mother of The Lord and did not look back. Being a pregnant single lady back then was risky business, as she could have been stoned. But God helped he through that, and she never lost faith!

Psalm 19:14 Let my words and my thoughts be pleasing to you, LORD, because you are my mighty rock and my protector

What would you have done had you been present at the Birth of Jesus, Knowing he was the Son of God, King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords?

What Are You Thankful For? Me, I'm thankful for everything that God has done for me. For saving me, for my family, my home, my church, my church family, and the best best friend a guy could have!

Revelation is both an interesting and scary book of the Bible. Interesting because it is interesting reading about what's going to happen, with the rapture, the second coming, and all the judgements that God will pour out on the Earth.  But it's scary because every Christian knows someone who is unsaved, and we know what's going to happen to them.

Lord, I pray that you would watch over Lori as she goes through her surgery.

Do you think that we are in the Endtimes? Sure looks like it, from some of the things going on in the world! If it is, I'm ready!

I am loving my stint as a Sunday School teacher. God has given me this opportunity to get over my shyness. I am learning more about God by studying the lesson. And they guys in my class are great! We all learn a bit from each other. Hopefully this is the beginning of something big!

This Article is about verses and events that people think are in the bible but aren’t. Even some Christians didn’t know that they weren’t in there. Just goes to show you that Bible study is important.

Some Prayer Requests:

For those affected by the tornadoes

Bob as he goes through his treatments

For Nicie that her hand gets better

That our church's yardsale goes well, making money for our mission trip

That the unsaved will come to know Christ

Lord, I pray you would watch over Pastor Dan and his family and comfort them as they mourn the loss of his Dad.

One thing I've learned is that sometimes God puts someone in your life for a reason different than what you think.

One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't come to know Christ till I was 25 years old. As you may or may not know, when I was a kid, I went through a lot of bad times when I was in school, with people picking on me because of my weight. I could have really used His help in getting me though all of that. But I do know Him know, better late then never!

Lord, once again I ask you for patience. I know you have someone for me, but sometimes, the lonliness gets the best of me!

Some Prayer Requests:

That the people of Egypt can repair their country

That Rich's Surgery goes well

That Bob's treatment goes well

That Dan and his family can find a bigger house

That our Church keeps growing

Hypocrisy is not good. Let your Yes Be Yes and Your No be No!

It makes me sad to hear someone say they're a Christian, confessing Christ, yet act totally different when it comes to living their lives. I hope to walk the walk and talk the talk!!

As we start the new year, I want to be closer to God. I want to do everything I can to serve him as best as I can!

Lord, thank you for giving me the ability to teach Sunday School last week. I really enjoyed doing it, and I pray you will g ive me the strength and knowledge to teach again if I'm needed!

I wish I could travel back in time to the time of the birth of Jesus. Wouldn't it have been wonderful to have been a witness to it?

The only person who is affected by unforgiveness is the one who doesn't forgive!

As we near Thanksgiving, let's not forget the things God has done for us!

I was reading this article about 2 ministers that have abandoned Christianity and became Athiests, but still perform their church duties. My question is: if you don't believe in God anymore, why be the spiritual advisor and minister to people who do believe? It's a good thing that these guys didn't want their identities to be shown, or else they would be in big trouble! The idea of an Athiest being a minister is like a Republican being given a leadership role in the Democratic party.

Lord, I thank you that Nicie and Scott have found jobs, and I now pray that they can find their own home!

We can witness to a person as hard as we can, but the choice to follow Christ is theirs and theirs alone. We can be a good example and show them the way, but it's up to them! I pray that I can do the best I can!

Lord, I pray you would help Nicie and Scott as they go through the problems they are going through this week. They are my 2 closest friends, and I am truly sad that their car died, and Scott lost his job.

Lord, I feel you pulling at my heart somehow. Please Tell me what you are calling me to do!

I have read that the number of Americans who identify themselves as Christians has decreased over the past few years. That is tragic! Why would anyone reject the promises of God?

Lord, I don't know what the future holds for me, but I know you do, so I'm ready for whatever you have in store for me!

As we prepare to celebrate Easter, let's not forget what it's all about: The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus! Without that, we have no hope of salvation! Thank you Jesus for dying for me!

Isn't it wonderful how God provides something at the exact time you need it? Lord, I thank you for providing Nicie for the money she needed! I know it was your doing!

Lord, I am so thankful that the friendship between Nicie and Myself was restored after the disagreement we had last week. She has been the best friend I've ever had, and I don't know what I'd do if I lost her.

Isn't it exciting that you can read a verse in the bible one day, it will mean one thing to you, and the next time you read it, it means something else? God's Word is living, always there to help you, depending on your needs and circumstances.

How can a person look at all of Nature and not believe in God?

I am so amazed at how Job handled his situation. He lost his Kids and his possessions, and his friends gave him a hard time, but he never lost his faith in God. I try to be lile that, but it's not easy!

Here are some prayer requests:

For the people of Haiti as they recover from the earthquake

For my friend Nicie's Sister Danette, as she faces raising her newborn Son on her own.

For my friend Cathy as she faces surgery

For all my family members who are having health problems

My resolutions this year, as far as my relationship with God are:

Pray harder, with more confidence that His will be done

Read my Bible more

Try to believe in myself more

Be good to people

Continue to be a good friend, make new ones.

Completely trust Him with my life

As we get close to Christmas, A Question for you, my readers:

What would you have done of you were one of the shepherds that the angel announced the birth of Jesus to? Would you have freaked out, or would you have been excited, and listened? I'd like to think that I'd be a bit shocked, but still have listened.

Patience is a hard thing to maintain. Just remember that things only happen when God says it's time for them to happen! I've learned that the hard way!

If Jesus can forgive us of our sins, why can't we forgive others for much lesser transgressions?

Some things I've learned the past few days:

There are no totally good or totally evil people

God put everyone here for a reason, no one's life is better or lessen then anyone else's

Life's precious

People, tell all your family and friends how much you love them, the next time you talk to them may be the last time.

-God Wants all of you, 100%, nothing less is acceptable!

Lord, please forgive me for straying away from you and getting my mind stuck on worldly things like finding someone. Please help me keep you number one in my life!

Dear Lord, please watch over Nicie and her Family as they mourn the loss of her sister's Husband. We don't really need to know why he took his life, but what matters is that there's a Mom and Dad that have lost their Son, A wife has lost her husband, and there is an unborn child that will never know her father.

Surrendering

Lord, please show me what your will for my life is.  I know I've asked this before, but this time, I totally give myself to you.

The Rapture

Today In Church the sermon was on the Rapture.   I hope it happens during my lifetime! Won't it be wonderful when Jesus calls us home and we're taken up into Heaven?  I can't wait, cause I know I'm going there!

Something To Remember

God Has A Reason For Everything That Happens In Your Life.

These days, I do beleive that God would be shaking his head in disbelief at how Christianity has been divided into so many different denominations. How could people get totally different ideas of what His word means?

God, I thank you for our generous friends from Church Who helped out Dad with his truck. It's sooo nice that you've put such great people in our lives. There are not that many people who would spend their own money on someone that they hadn't known for that long.

Today as we celebrate Easter, Let 's not forget what it's about! Jesus is risen after dying for you and me!

Ten Ways Jesus Changed the World



1. He split our calendar in two: B.C. and A.D.

2. He showed us God is love.

3. He refused a crown to bear a cross.

4. He occupies no grave.

5. His sermon on the Mount set forth the highest standard for how we should
live.

6. He modeled forgiveness in a world of stone throwers.

7. He transformed fishermen and tax collectors into world changers.

8. He healed the sick and raised the dead…enough said.

9. He challenged religion devoid of compassion.

10. He willingly accepted a cruel death so that we might have life.

The scriptures tell us that God “showed his love among us — He sent his one and
only Son into the world that we might live through Him.”

Our Revival Services this week had a profound effect on me. Especially the first night, which dealt with bitterness. I'm getting over all the stuff I've been through, slowly but surely, but it's not easy...

Lord, I thank you for the new friends I've met the past couple of weeks. For Mikey, for Rev. Mike, and Keeper, they have been so good to me, I thank you Lord, for putting them in my life!

Some Prayer Requests For Today:

1: Comfort For the families of those killed in the NY plane Crash

2: For the US to pull out of our financial problems

3: For My Church To Continue to grow

4: For my friends that God will take care of their needs

5: For My Family especially my 2 sister, who are unsaved

6: For me, That I can lose weight, and that I can find someone.

Dear Lord, hear my prayer:

Please forgive me for my occasional lapses in faith. I know that you are here for me, but sometimes I am just impatient in waiting for my prayers to be heard.

Can you imagine what it was like the night Jesus was born? How the shepherds felt when the angel told them about The birth of the Savior? How the wise men felt when the finally reached the baby Jesus? How Mary felt knowing she had given birth to the Son Of God? The responsibility that Joseph must have felt knowing that it was his duty to protect Jesus till he grew up? I wish I could have been one of the people in Bethlehem that night!

As we Celebrate Christmas, please don't forget it's true meaning! The birth Of Jesus, God's Son and the Savior of the World! To me, his gift of forgiveness and eternal life are more precious then anything else!

As the song goes, "I can only Imagine"

It overwhelms me when I try to imagine what it's going to be like to be in the presence of Jesus. What will it be like? I know that everyone will bow before him, both saved and unsaved. What's it going to be for the saved? Will some of us just run up to Him and embrace Him after he says "Enter, my good and Faithful servant"? Will some of us just be so over whelmed that they will jump for joy and shout? For the unsaved, It will be a lot different...

WHY I CHOOSE TO BE A CHRISTIAN

I have been a Christian for 11 years. Why do I choose to be one? There are a lot of reasons why I follow Jesus. Here are some of them:


1: Jesus died for EVERYONE, we are all sinners.
2: By trusting in Him, my sins are forgiven.
3: Because my sins are forgiven , I will have eternal life and be in Heaven.
4: Without Jesus, I would be on the way to Hell.
5: He loves me more than any human could.
6: His plan for my life is a lot better then what I could design.
7: When you pray, he hears you, and listens without any preconcieved notions.

I was not forced into Christianity. God spoke to my heart and said “come to me.”

When I was a kid, I did not believe in God. I figured “If there is a God, why isn't he helping me when
I'm being tortured and picked on in school? If he does exist, he must not think much of me.” When I became a believer, it became clear to me that He allowed it to happen so that I would trust in Him. It took me a long time for that to sink in, but it was for the best, and has made me a stronger person.

I've had a lot of things going on with me the past couple of weeks. I've told you all about my problems, but God seems to be tellin me something.  A couple weeks ago, I found a magazine at Church, with 2 articles that could have been written about me.  The first one was about a   guy that was dealing with a weight problem, and he was turning to God for help with that. The one thing that really gave me hope was that he was married, even though he checked in at over 400 lbs.  I'm not that big, but it gives me hope that there's gotta be some woman out there that can look past stuff like that.  Second article was about a guy who got picked on in school like I did and it took him a while to get over it and forgive.  Ok..Saturday, while at the store, I ran into the lady that got my Mom hurt.  I walked away so that I wouldn't cause a scene.  Then on Sunday, wouldn't you know it, the sermon was on forgivness?  Funny how God lines things up to happen, isn't it? Well, after all this stuff, I feel a LOT better, letting all that crap go. 

God hears our prayers, but it's a 2 way street, we have to listen to what HE has to say!

Today in Sunday School, the topic was forgivness. I've posted about this before, because it's a bit difficult for me to forgive, when it comes to all the things I've been through. But, I'm trying with everything I have to come to terms with what happened to my Mom and what happened to me in school , and hopefully soon I'll be able to put it all behind me and forgive the people involved.

Lord, after hearing about how some of the people who live in a trailer court near where I live are in really bad straights, please help me not dwell and complain about my problems!

Some Prayer Requests for today:

For My Mom, who has to have some medical tests in October
For me to lose more weight
For everyone who needs help anywhere in the world.

I really am starting to admire Dan, my pastor. How he does all of his pastoral duties and takes care of his big family I will never know! But he is a great guy, and an excellent preacher. You can tell God is working through him!

I'm getting ready to read Revelation again. I've tried to read it before, but some of the things in it are way over my head. The only thing I know is that Jesus' return is sooner then most of us think!

Lord, I pray that you would help me get over my shyness so that I can be a more effective witness for you!

This Week

This week, we have Vacation Bible School at my church, and my Mom and I helped out.  It's amazing how quick some kids can pick up knowledge!  Most of them were eager to learn about God, and did a good job!

Things You Never Hear In Church

Things You Never Hear in Church

- Hey! It's my turn to sit in the front pew.

- I was so enthralled, I never noticed your sermon went 25 minutes over time.

- Personally I find witnessing much more enjoyable than golf.

- I've decided to give our church the $500 a month I used to send to TV evangelists.

- I volunteer to be the permanent teacher for the Junior High Sunday School class.

- Forget the denominational minimum salary, let's pay our pastor so he can live like we do.

- I love it when we sing hymns I've never heard before!

- Since we're all here, let's start the service early.

- Pastor, we'd like to send you to this Bible seminar in the Bahamas.

- Nothing inspires me and strengthens my commitment like our annual stewardship campaign!

Prayer for the day

Lord, I pray that justice will be done for this kid in Florida who was treated in such a cruel manner by his classmates and teacher.  No person should have to put up with that!

Lets see:

We have wars going on, earthquakes, people starving, crazy weather, and all sorts of stuff going on. Does Matthew 24 ring a bell? We were warned! Don't call me a nutcase, but it's my firm belief that Jesus will be here SOON!

Today, let's all pray for those killed, injured, or left homeless in that typhoon in Burma.
