LATTER TIMES

1st TIMOTHY 4:1
Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter days some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and the doctrines of devils.

Today's verse is a grim reminder that in these last days - many will depart from the faith - already you can see this happening - Ministers who once stood behind the pulpits have just walked away - those who once walked so intimately with Jesus seem to have walked the other way - They may still be saved - but don't have the joy -they do not have the peace that they once had - this Nation was founded on God - In God we Trust is our motto - or at least it was - soon I would not doubt that someone will one day try to take that away - you used to be able to pray in school -yes I know many say we can have a moment of silence - but that's not the same thing at all -I grew up with Teacher lead prayer - Also I was reading an article about how one of the national networks bought the rights to Christian Cartoon and proceeded to cut out any mention of God from them - the creator of this cartoon was tricked into this by them not being upfront about what their intent was - its such a shame -now we cannot mention the name of JESUS without offending someone - it may seem I am a little hot about all this -because I am - I am so ashamed that our Nation has turned her back to God -the GOD who has blessed us in so many ways - and its sad to say that God will have to remove HIS hand from us because HE loves us -all this prosperity we have will be no more -many have walked away from their first love and this breaks the heart of God - I do not want to be judgmental - I just want to offer a warning - THIS IS NOT OUR HOME - we will leave this place one day -and all the riches and possessions we had will not matter at all then -we must stand together in CHRIST Before its too late -He is coming back soon -Peace be with you -may you be a light to the darkness today and always!

A side note: If our Nation moves away from its foundation - which is JESUS - it will curble to the ground -we need look only in the WORD to see what has happened to those before us - Our Nation has not been here that long -lets walk to JESUS - no Run to HIM today! These Latter Days are our last chance! Lets make a diffrence! Daniel<><

IN CHRIST the lost are found!

HEBREWS WALK #35

HEBREWS 3:5
And Moses verily was faithful in all of his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after!

After reading today's verse - I thought about my favorite music group 4HIM and one of their earliest songs - it is called A Man You Would Write About -and it talks about being remembered 1000 of years after they leave this place like the men of the Bible- that it would be written of our faithfulness to God while we lived on this earth- which by the way will not be very long - Last night I watched 20/20 and they dedicated the whole hour to Steve Irwin -otherwise known as the Crocodile Hunter - he left this world at age 44 - and it seemed like he could conquer death over and over until it caught up with him -the point is we are not here long - we could be gone tomorrow -and what have we done with what we have been given?
Moses was faithful -not only at the beginning - but also at the end - many can start strong - but a few brave ones finish well in the end - God is not interested in our past accomplishments- they cannot save us - only the blood of JESUS can save us - but HE wants us to think of tomorrow- and to use today as if it where all we had left- when your life on earth is over and you are face to face with JESUS - will HE say well done good and faithful servant? Our goal each day is to serve God with all we have been given - He knows what is going on in our lives and just wants us to worship HIM - He always knows best- I know the last couple of days ive been full of questions - several things in our lives have gone in a direction I was not expecting and this is where the rubber meets the road - where we must remain faithful - but the good news is God is faithful even when we are not - sometimes HE has to let us fall - because HE Loves us-
What will your life be remembered for? The answer is important!

A side note: The average left expectancy in the United States is less then 80 years- which is not a long time in the scheme of things - many of us have already lived half that long -many longer -with the time we have left- lets make our lives count for CHRIST! Amen - lets finish this race well!

Though CHRIST our lives count!

HEBREWS WALK #34

HEBREWS 3:4
For every house is built by some man; but He that builds all things is God!

This ministry was conceived through my love for drawing house plans - early in life I had planned to be an Architect - and God used that to show me that HIS word is a Blueprint to a life lived for Christ- on that basis each day I feel called to bring the good news to everyone - through something called the daily blueprint - as you know you cannot build a house without them! You also must build a house in the right order - mess up the order and it will not go together right - in the same way God is building our lives -and HE knows best- we can try and build it ourselves - but it will not be what HE wants - He has a plan for each of us -and sometimes that plan takes us in a direction we never thought we would go - pain may come - confusion comes from the enemy but God can even use that - He has a plan for each of our lives -and to find out what it is -we must seek HIM in prayer and through HIS word -also other believers can show us what God wants for us -my wife has gone through a time of trial at her 2nd job -its been so hard to see her go through it -but through it she is learning some things that will be really valuable - We need to move out of the way and allow God to build our lives on the Rock!If we build our lives -the ground we build upon will be sandy and not a sure foundation - God builds all things -and He always builds it right the first time - lets follow HIS blueprint for our lives-
lets follow HIS lead - let God design your life today!

A side note: When God builds our lives -sometimes HE must remove some things- and add other things- this process can be painful -but He has a plan that is better then ours - we need to obey and listen to what HE says - He knows what HE is doing and has been doing it forever - may God build our lives today!

Though CHRIST our lives are built on solid ground!

9-21-06 THE WAY THE TRUTH THE LIFE

THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 9-21-06

THE WAY - THE TRUTH - THE LIFE

JOHN 14:6
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Me!

Today it's back to basics - as I have been studying the book of Hebrews and as we have walked though it - ive learned about the greatness of JESUS - how HE is greater then the angels -how He is greater then any man that ever lived or will ever live - and how HIS death is all that makes us right - its simple - but often it gets complicated - I just want to dwell in the simplicity of Christ-
That CHRIST alone is the only way to the Father -He said it and I believe it - we cannot make it to the Father on our own - on our good merits - or by our wallets - we cannot make it on our good deeds either- apart from Christ there is no heaven!

I took graphic design in college -my first graphic's teacher taught me a simple concept - it was this - Less is More! Its so true - the logos that are busy do not grab your attention like a good clean one - this is also true in our lives - we need CHRIST -period - without HIM we have no hope - He is the way - the truth and the life - you see apart from Him there is no life at all - it may seem like live -but it will end -as the word says - what does it profit a man to gain the whole world but to lose his soul? We are not here for long -lets make the most of it -
Just dwell in the simplicity of CHRIST today -
Follow HIM every step of the way - and HE will lead you home!
Its simple- CHRIST died for you - now live for HIM!


A side note: While sin blocked our way to God - Jesus came to open it back up - we now have fellowship with God the Father through Christ- HE is the only one who can take us to GOD - He alone forgives us our sins and makes us right - its simple but soooo true! Amen!

IN CHRIST we know the way!

JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN!

9-20-06 HEBREWS WALK #33

HEBREWS 3:3
For this man was counted worthy of more glory then Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor then the house!

The writer of Hebrews is trying to drive home the fact of who JESUS really is - The Son of God -the Great I am - and so forth - JESUS is our Savior and the greatest man to ever live - a man that did not sin - there has been none like HIM before and there will never be anyone like our LORD later! Just like the one who builds the house has more honor then the house itself - as you see the process of a house going from blueprint to reality - you can see that it takes time to get it all done - JESUS came and laid HIS life down and said it was finished- He is the One we honor - He is our Savior - our Lord!

In the news lately there has been much discussion about what the Pope said about the faith of Islam - what the Pope said was true - but what struck me as I read about all this controversy - that many Muslims call us Christians - Cross worshippers -which is not at all what we are- we worship the ONE who died on the CROSS and not the cross itself -without JESUS the cross would be useless - He had to die for us - He had to laid down HIS life and for that HE is honored! He is worshipped by us - HIS children! Please take a moment to pray for the lost -pray for Muslims who are caught in the lie of Islam - that their eyes would be opened to the truth - I know these words are controversial - but they are no less true - we must pray for those who wish us harm! Jesus said Love your enemies - lets be like CHRIST and tell the world that we worship JESUS and JESUS alone - He alone is worthy! Lets go out and live the life and praise JESUS without apology! Lets be the children of HIS that we are!

A side note: Moses was God's right hand man - but unlike Jesus our Lord - he was a sinner -but still was used mightly by God - we cannot be perfect on our own -we will always need JESUS and that is right where He wants us to be!

Though CHRIST the truth is seen and heard!

THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 9-19-06

LIGHT UP THE DARKNESS

ISAIAH 58:8
Then shall the light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily; and Your righteousness shall go before You; the Glory of the LORD shall be your reward!

We live in a dark world - just take a look at the local and national news - its usually a lot of grim news- while the good news seems to be hidden from view- God has given us a life changing message that needs to be spoken and seen -its not enough to just tell people about JESUS - we must be willing to live it out loud for the world to see -JESUS said that a city on a hill is not hidden - the light springs forth from that city - and other can see it and are lead to safety by it - Ive fallen in love with lighthouses - partly because when I met my wife - her Mom had them all over her house- I had not paid much attention to them before then - but they just took me by surprise- they do what GOD has called us to do - lead those who are lost to safety - they bring light in the darkness - and just like the fact that the light of the lighthouse may be all the captain can see that guides him safely home - our message -the message of CHRIST crucified is just as bright - it leads the lost home!
We must show the world that is caught in darkness of sin - of death - of hatred that there is a better way - actually the only way things could get better is if the Light shines in the darkness - and if you have ever been down in the dumps - and it seems nothing can carry you out - then the light shines in your life and everything changes -lets bring that light that is within us to the surface for all to see - our light from CHRIST should not be hidden - let it shine brighty and help to guide those who are lost - Home! Light up the darkness with the LIGHT of CHRIST!

A side note: My Grandpa Hank was a captain and today's message reminds me of some of his wonderful stories about being out at sea - I can see him in my mind and the lighthouse is in view as well - I have visited several lighthouses in the past couple of years- they are all over our living room - and others notice them - if asked I want to tell them it shows the LIGHT guiding those who are lost - Home! Amen!

IN CHRIST the LIGHT shines in the darkness!

HEBREWS 3:2
Who was faithful to Him that appointed Him, as also Moses was faithful to all his house!

There has never been nor ever will there be a time when Jesus is not faithful to God the Father - Its not in HIS nature - JESUS is God's Son but also was God in the flesh - I've been talking to a great friend and sister in Christ lately that has been rasing some questions about this very fact- how could JESUS be GOD'S SON and at the same time be GOD in the flesh- my answer was simple - I do not know! Its written in the Word of God but still my mind and our minds cannot fathom how this can be - we must live by faith -just like Moses had to live by faith -many laughed at Moses- some thought he was nuts -others wanted to end his life- but through it all Moses had to be faithful to God - I find it interesting that Moses had a temper - I can relate with him - ive got one too - last night I watched my football team get beat - I take Football seriously -maybe too seriously and have to admit I got a little angry and yes lost my temper - I say all that to say that all of us have shortcomings- it does not matter if you are a pastor - or a guy who stays up late and writes these daily devotionals- we all sin -we all fall short - this is why JESUS had to come to this earth and die for us - remaining faithful always to the Father - HE is our example - we can never be as faithful as JESUS was to HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN - but this does not mean we cannot strive to do so - One problem we all seem to have is getting away and being alone and quiet before God - this world is very loud and the pulls of this world will try and pull you away from JESUS - but like JESUS and Moses where faithful - we too must be faithful to the call GOD has on our lives- the good news is we do not have to do it - its all HIM! May GOD contiune to show you the way - today - tomorrow and the next day - He who has called us is faithful!Thank YOU JESUS!

A side note: When GOD calls you to something HE is faithful to bring you through it - as you know my wife Missy has been having alot of trouble at her job -its been hard -but we know GOD is faithful- you can trust HIM - HE has never once failed and His record is undefeated! God is the winner!

Though CHRIST we can be faithful!

THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 9-15-06

MORE THEN THE MORNING!

PSALM 130:6
My soul waits for the Lord more then they that watch for the morning; I say more then they that watch for the morning!

Often the darkness of life is referred to as the night - it also stands for sin - the darkness of sin - sin has a way of taking what God intended for good and making it bad - he deceives many into thinking right is wrong and wrong is right - Jesus said many times that while its day we must work - we must follow Him because the night is coming when no one can work - Jesus means that when the darkness comes - when this world ends -things will be much different - one day the morning will come - its like when the night seems to last forever and you just cannot wait to see the first glimpse of the morning light breaking through the darkness - and you cannot have darkness and light at the same time - just as you go into a dark room and as your eyes get used to the dark -its not really totally dark - darkness is the absence of all light - Jesus many times has been called the Light of the World - His light at first blinds us - the sin in us is seen clearly -but then HIS forgiveness comes and we are washed clean in HIS Blood - as those that wait for the morning - we wait for the LORD - and while life may not always be a bed of roses - we know the ONE who made the roses! Maybe you are going though something that seems to be the end all - maybe you are suffering through a very long night - maybe you are in a drought- do not worry -the Savior is coming - JESUS is coming soon -and HE will take us home - we live in a world of darkness -but JESUS is the Light -
let HIS Light shine in your life so that those living in darkness will see the light and come to JESUS! Amen!

A side note: When HIS light comes into a life -its forever changed -the old has passed away and the new has come - and just like the morning -JESUS is coming soon! Wait on HIM!

IN CHRIST the darkness is no more!

HEBREWS WALK #31

HEBREWS 3:1
Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus!

The longer I live it seems the bleaker things get- When I first came to know JESUS as my LORD and SAVIOR about 13 years ago - I thought everyone would know HIM - and that those that did not would want to - I was very naive then - I know now the sad news -that some will not come to know HIM - many will not even consider HIM as Savior - Vie seen countless letters from people who either claim there is no God - to others who claim we are all gods! And any and everything in between - in case you did not know I work for a local newspaper -so I get to see what many people think -and its really sad -all that GOD wants us to do is consider HIS SON JESUS - but sadly many in their busy lives and fast pace -they cannot slow down long enough to know HE is GOD! We must consider JESUS - He both the author and finisher of our faith- without JESUS we have NO HOPE!
Its though HIS death on the cross that we have freedom from the penalty of sin - JESUS paid the price and HE paid in full -completely -not lacking anything - Jesus is our High Priest- His offering was once for all - never to be paid again -its finished -we must be willing to lay down our will for HIS to be done - lets consider JESUS and see that HE is really the ONLY WAY to Heaven! AMEN!

A side note: We must place are whole life in HIS hands -HE does not want us to take control He wants us to give up!
Lets surrender to JESUS - He is our Savior!

Though CHRIST heaven is within reach!

JESUS - YOU CANNOT LEAVE EARTH WITHOUT HIM

THE DAILY BLUEPRINT FOR 9-13-06

A SOLDIER OF CHRIST

2nd TIMOTHY 2:3
You therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ!

In this life we all face various trials in our lives - God wants to use each one to bring us closer to Him - sometimes when someone close to you is going through something you want to just end their pain -you want to change the circumstance so everything is smooth sailing - but this usually is working against God and what HE desires for them - now by this I am not saying we should help those in need - as you know I am involved with a great ministry that helps children who are lost -who have no hope -Compassion - we should help as we are lead by God to help- there is nothing wrong with helping - but when we pray for our will instead of God's will there will be much trouble-

My wife as you have seen in the prayer email almost weekly is going though a lot right now - I wish it were not so - but its the facts - but as she has gone through this circumstance -she has grown closer to God - now why would I want to pray it away when God is using it - we must be prayerful and listen to what God says - and while trials will come - God has given us the power to over come in Him and Him alone - the power is not ours but His - In this verse Paul says we should endure as a good soldier of Christ -and that is what we are - we are in a battle for the souls of those around us - God wants to recruit many more into His army - our mission is to save lives for CHRIST!God has not called us to sideline faith - but He wants us to be in the game - He wants us to be active - He wants us to fight for what is right! Together we can fight the good fight Paul has described - We must be willing to get our hands dirty -we must move outside our zones of comfort - we must be a good soldier for Christ - this means we must obey what HE commands - lets get together and fight for what is right - God speed everyone!

A side note: God has all of us in basic training - He wants to create in us a new heart - HE wants to make us like HIS Son! He wants to put us on the front line to fight for what is right! Amen!

IN CHRIST we fight the good fight of faith!

HEBREWS WALK #30

HEBREWS 2:18
For in that He Himself has suffered being tempted,
He is able to succour them that are tempted!

Our Savior has been tempted in every way we are - but He never once ever gave in - even when God the Father lead Him into the wilderness for 40 days and nights- He was not tempted to give into the enemy's plan - He just fought satan with the WORD - and won the battle- because our Savior has been tempted just like us - He again to relate to us - He knows what its like to be a man - to have feelings- emotions - He knows what its like to bleed -to have pain - and to die - He knows what its like to be you and me!
JESUS left Heaven and perfect fellowship with God in order to save our souls - HE had to be rejected by men and even God had to turn HIS back on HIS Son! Jesus knows how to defeat temptation and if He lives in your heart -you can too -
Jesus has given all of us a way of an escape - we do not have to give into to temptation -I know God has delivered me from things in my past that held on - until I let God take them - not to say I am not tempted by them anymore -but the truth is I am - almost daily -satan tries to remind me of my past sin and wants to trap me and cause me to give in - when this happens I must stop what I am doing and pray - seeking help from God - Jesus came to this earth to die for our sins - His whole mission lead Him to the cross -to pay the sin debt we all incurred -HE is our help in time of need-
Lets place our trust in HIM! amen!

A side note: Some people believe you are in sin if you are being tempted- this is not true -the enemy wants to weaken our faith and he will do whatever it takes to get that done - JESUS however will fight for us - He will keep us pure and holy - He will take away our sin - the enemy cannot do anything about it either -amen!

Though CHRIST we are forgiven and redeemed!

9/11 - 5 YEARS LATER

2nd CORINTHIANS 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man parish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day!

Today as I reflected on the events of 5 years ago - tears formed in my eyes- this is a very painful day for many -a day when lives where forever changed -the events of this day are still fresh in our minds -and yet life has gone on - during those first weeks following 9-11 -the churches where full - the flags came out and everyone was on the same page- but as with all things- this did not last - today we are a nation that is very much divided and according to JESUS Himself - a divided nation cannot stand - while all this is true- there are those of us who support our President and what he done to stop further attacks against our nation -

Today it's 5 years later - many things have happened since that day - people have died - people have been born - life has gone back to normal whatever normal may be -today many are in pain -they miss those whom they lost - the pain is very real - those who committed this act against America and her children - will one day face God - and HIS wrath is greater then any -but we should not gloat at this fact -but we need to pray for them - pray for those familles who lost loved ones that way as well - We are all God's children - living in a world that is dominated by satan - I place all the blame for these attacks on him - and him alone - God allowed this for His purpose - not the purposes of satan - God can take something bad and make it good - these 5 years have not been easy and time does not heal all wounds - only God can do that - take a moment today to reflect on where you where when you heard the news - think about those who lost their lives - the heroes who put their lives on the line to save others - read the following poem - visit the website - and pray - American need us on our knees- God bless America -

9-11 will go down in history as the day part of America died - God I am sure wept on this day - lets stand together in CHRIST-
Thank you all - in CHRIST, Daniel

TWO THOUSAND ONE, NINE ELEVEN (2001-911) Two thousand one, nine eleven Three thousand plus arrive in heaven As they pass through the gate, Thousands more appear in wait A bearded man with stovepipe hat Steps forward saying, "Lets sit, lets chat" They settle down in seats of clouds A man named Martin shouts out proud "I have a dream!" and once he did The Newcomer said, "Your dream still lives." Groups of soldiers in blue and gray Others in khaki, and green then say "We're from Bull Run, Yorktown, the Maine" The Newcomer said, "You died not in vain." From a man on sticks one could hear "The only thing we have to fear. The Newcomer said, "We know the rest, trust us sir, we've passed that test." "Courage doesn't hide in caves You can't bury freedom, in a grave," The Newcomers had heard this voice before A distinct Yankees twang from Hyannisport shores A silence fell within the mist Somehow the Newcomer knew that this Meant time had come for her to sayWhat was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day "Back on Earth, we wrote reports, Watched our children play in sports Worked our gardens, sang our songs Went to church and clipped coupons We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought Unlike you, great we're not" The tall man in the stovepipe hat Stood and said, "Don't talk like that! Look at your country, look and see You died for freedom, just like me" Then, before them all appeared a scene Of rubbled streets and twisted beams Death, destruction, smoke and dust And people working just 'cause they must Hauling ash, lifting stones, Knee deep in hell, but not alone "Look! Blackman, Whiteman, Brownman, YellowmanSide by side helping their fellow man!" So said Martin, as he watched the scene "Even from nightmares, can be born a dream." Down below three firemen raised The colors high into ashen haze The soldiers above had seen it before On Iwo Jima back in '45 The man on sticks studied everything closely Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly "I see pain, I see tears, I see sorrow -- but I don't see fear." "You left behind husbands and wives Daughters and sons and so many lives are suffering now because of this wrong But look very closely. You're not really gone. All of those people, even those who've never met you All of their lives, they'll never forget you Don't you see what has happened? Don't you see what you've done? You've brought them together, together as one. With that the man in the stovepipe hat said "Take my hand," and from there he led three thousand plus heroes, Newcomers to heaven On this day, two thousand one, nine eleven Author UNKNOWN What a shame! DON'T KEEP SUCH MEANINGFUL WORDS AND FEELINGS TO YOURSELF. PLEASE PASS THIS ONE ALONG. On this day, please wear red, white and blue to work or school to show your support for those who lost their lives on 9~11~01 and to honor the heroes who worked to save them and the families left behind. At noon your time on September 11, 2006, no matter where you are or what you are doing, stop, put your hand on your heart, and say the Pledge of Allegiance out loud or to yourself and say a prayer for our nation. In addition, for those of us who drive to work, please drive with your headlights on to also give honor and remembrance to those who perished on September 11th. If all of us do this together in every time zone round the world, we will have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding us. Please keep this going to your friends and family. By September 11, 2006 hopefully enough people will have read this and will join together in unity

On Monday, September 11th, 2006, an American flag should be displayed outside every home, apartment, office, and store in the United States. Every individual should make it their duty to display an American flag on this fifth anniversary of our country's worst tragedy. We do this in honor of those who lost their lives on 9/11, their families, friends and loved ones who continue to endure the pain, and those who today are fighting at home and abroad to preserve our cherished freedoms. In the days, weeks and months following 9/11, our country was bathed in American flags as citizens mourned the incredible losses and stood shoulder-to-shoulder against terrorism. Sadly, those flags have all but disappeared. Our patriotism pulled us through some tough times and it shouldn't take another attack to galvanize us in solidarity. Our American flag is the fabric of our country and together we can prevail over terrorism of all kinds. Action Plan: So, here's what we need you to do... (1) Forward this email to everyone you know (at least 11 people). Please don't be the one to break this chain. Take a moment to think back to how you felt on 9/11 and let those sentiments guide you. (2) Fly an American flag of any size on 9/11. Honestly, Americans should fly the flag year-round, but if you don't, then at least make it a priority on this day. Thank you for your participation. God Bless You and God Bless America!

PRAYERS-PRAISES-&-PREVIEWS:
PRAY FOR THOSE WHO LOST LOVED ONES 5 YEARS AGO-
WE REMEMBER THOSE WHO WORKED AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER -
THOSE WHO DIED AT THE PENTAGON and IN THE PENNSYLVANIA FIELD-
MAY WE REMEMBER THOSE HEROES WHO DIED SAVING OTHERS!GOD BLESS AMERICA!

HEBREWS WALK #29

HEBREWS 2:17
Wherefore in all things, it behooved Him to be made like the brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Our God can understand us - He is not a distant being that never comes near to us - in the garden Adam and Eve had perfect fellowship with God - matter of fact God Himself walked with them - in the cool of the day - God was with them and this was going to be forever- until the fall - God had to leave them alone because HE could not be in the presence of sin - I believe this is why satan was cast from heaven - the holiness of God would not allow sin to remain there - God can relate to His creation - He came through Jesus Christ - HE felt the pain we can feel -He was hungry - He was thirsty - He was angry and He was happy- He become a man - but not an adult man - as you know the CHRISTmas story Jesus came as a babe - in a manager of all things -God came near - so that He could see what its like to be human - and while HE was human - He was also fully God - all at the same time! He is our high priest -HE is our savior! He came with one mission in mind - to die for our sins - that's the God we worship and God that was not afraid to get on our level -to see us face to face- While Holy - God came near -and He touched so many lives- worship the ONE TRUE LORD GOD! HE came near!

A side note: God knows what its like to be a man!

Though CHRIST our sins are taken away!

IN DEED & TRUTH

1st JOHN 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word,
neither in tongue, But in deed and in truth.


I love the song by the group DcTalk - its called Love is a verb!

When we say we love someone -what do we really mean? I believe the word love has been watered down and now means different things to different people - teenagers and young adults equate love with emotion -feelings- sexual desires- lust - but true love is none of these - but let me say this - love is an emotional thing - God created sex for a man and women - that are MARRIED! This is God's plan not mine - God made it so its good - in the right conditions - but sadly many confuse the feelings of lust with love - What does God say love is? According to the word of God its all about deeds and truth - you can say you love someone all day long - but if you never actually show it - is it really love? Our love should be motivated by God's love for us - Jesus gave us the perfect example of what true love was when He gave HIS life for ours! In 1st John the writer makes a statement about not loving in word and in tongue - but in action -that's why love is a verb - not an emotion - emotions will fade and will let you down - our feelings are not always right! We can love someone and still not "Feel " love - but that does not mean its not love - mature love forsakes our needs for the needs of others - quiet simply if you walk with JESUS and claim to be HIS - you had better love in HIS Power not your own - the world is watching -lets show them the love of God today - Lets not only use words to preach the gospel - lets use action -let's be the WORD! amen!

A side note: GOD IS LOVE

IN CHRIST we can love for real!

HEBREWS WALK #28

HEBREWS 2:16
For verily He took not on Him the nature of angels; but He took on Him the seed of Abraham!

Our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST came as a man to this world- He did not have the nature of angels - He was not just spirit but was actual flesh- the amazing thing is at no other point in time was God in man! In the beginning God made Adam and then Eve - they had perfect fellowship with one another- that was until Eve was tempted by satan as a snake- this would forever change our place in the universe- one wrong move- one wrong choice lead us to our fallen nature- Adam and Even knew the rules and disregarded them when tempted - we can point a finger at them -but if we were in their shoes- most likely we would have done the same thing - sin came into the world and the fellowship with God was broken and things have not been the same since- until JESUS came to set us free by His blood -His life was payment for our souls security - JESUS paid it all - Jesus came to this world to die - He healed while here- He found 12 disciples and He showed them the way -and out of the 11 - God made the church - without JESUS we would have no hope - JESUS came as a man - lived like a man - but lived like no other man in that He was without sin - He was prefect -and HIS death opened up the gates of heaven for us - HIS children! Lets remember JESUS came as a man - He live and then was killed on the cross - He suffered for us - He was buried and then rose again - we now are forever free!PRAISE GOD!

A side note: The only One who could save us was JESUS!
HE lived and died - and rose again -forever sealing our fate - Life everlasting with God! Amen!

Though CHRIST Heaven is open for us!

WHERE HELP IS FOUND

PSALM 121:1&2
I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from where my help comes from, My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth!


Lets face it -- life can be hard- sometimes things happen that seem to make no sense- but God will use it all for His glory! Our help does not come from within - but from God Himself- apart from Christ there is no good in any of us - if we rely on ourselves and what we can do - there will be little or no help -but if we look toward the hills to our Savior -then Help will be all around us - God wants us to be successful for His kingdom - He wants us to go to Him for help- He has given us HIS word -and the Holy Spirit to guide us and help us - He has also given us each other - our brothers and sisters and Christ form a network of helpers- all called by God to do HIS will - when we focus on JESUS - the work gets done and done right every time! The main problem we have is our focus -when problems come -we tend to look at them and the view we have of our Father is diminished- our problems seem to grow so large that it seems no help can be found - but if we rest in JESUS our help will be instant - we need to make sure our walk with God is where it needs to be - We can try to get help elsewhere -but no one knows us like Jesus - He knows us better then we know ourselves - if you are in need today - just look up- JESUS is waiting to answer your request the best way possible- God knows best! You can bank on that - Where is your help found? If not in JESUS then its hopeless!

A side note: When we place our lives in our hands - we do not have the help we need- we are all limited but our God is unlimited - HE knows best and wants the best for each of us - won't you depend on HIM and HIM alone to met all your needs? HE knows best!

IN CHRIST we have all the help we need!

HEBREWS 2:15
. . . And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

If you are saved by the blood of JESUS -then satan is your enemy - satan wants to keep us down- keep us in bondage- and when he does we are not useful for God - God wants to free us from the bondage we are under- He wants us to be as lights on the hill of a city shining bright! The fear of death keeps many in bondage- and while there are a multitude of questions about here-ever after - We should not be in bondage to it - lets face it -we will all physically die - unless JESUS comes back before then - Jesus came and died on the cross -was buried and then rose again to give us victory over death -sin and hell - though one day we will go into the ground - When JESUS sets you free- you are free indeed - we cannot serve God while in bondage- we must be set free first -and then we can be used by God -the things in your life and my life that weigh us down must be taken way by JESUS - when JESUS came into our hearts- freedom and victory came with it - JESUS paid it all -we need HIM - I find it awesome when God answers specific prayers - He is always faithful and always knows what the best response is - we no longer need to fear tomorrow or death- it will come to all of us sooner or later -lets continue to trust in JESUS and put it all on HIM - He cares for us -always - He knows us better then we know ourselves - if you want victory - you need JESUS! Jesus has come to free us -if you are in the SON you are free indeed - free indeed!

A side note: One drop of blood was all it took to free us from the bondage of sin and death- JESUS took it all away! PRAISE THE LORD! AMEN!

Though CHRIST we are free indeed!
