God or Bust

God or Bust

There have been those who measurably did shun
God for a life filled with frolic and fun.
Having loads of fun makes life seem like a blast
But, the feature on fun is it does not last.
To God, one quickly ought now to run.
Fun here ceases, but the hereafter’s joy with Him will never pass.

There are others who, all for a worldly name,
Ignored God and tried to beat the world at its game.
Having a worldly name today may seem all the rage.
But, a name built on a passing world is not a wise gauge.
Trust in God for an identity that will not end in shame.
A name given by God will ever shine, no matter the changing age.

There have been some who became members of a local church
Who trusted not in God and were blind to their precarious perch.
To be attached to a local church without true knowledge of God
Is to be ignorant of God’s will and judgment’s pending proving rod.
The Lord delights not in fanciful falsehood for it elicits besmirch.
Be real in your walk so you will not miss Heaven being spiritually unshod.

There are many who have lived life with a hatred of all things holy
Who refused to acknowledge God using logic that was holey.
Though, each day the mirror showed the image of God so clearly,
Blindness blocked the view due to failing to embrace God dearly.
If one, would only open up and listen to the Gospel solely,
They would come to know the love of Jesus shown at Calvary so sincerely.

There are others who have known the Lord but strayed down a fleshly route
Who realized that peace and joy withered away due to their sinful pursuit.
The believer should ever praise God for His mercy, His Spirit, and His Word.
Though we stray, repentance will come, once our heart has truly been spurred.
Saints let us ever trek upon the righteous path and be resolute.
Let us follow Him so close that our faith, by His power, He will gird.
`
A life devoid of or un-devoted to God will end in a woeful bust.
Your time is running out, for you to seek Him now is a must.
Do not put off until tomorrow what you should do today.
A tomorrow is coming which will be void of words you would normally say,
For it is appointed unto men once to die and his body to return to dust.
If you desire to be with God ever, believe on Jesus now, He is the only way.

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. John 14:6 (Amplified Bible)

This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone]. And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved. Acts 4:11-12 (Amplified Bible)

State of Rage

State of Rage

Have you ever been in a state of rage?
To rage is to go on a volatile emotional rampage.
What did your demonstrative outburst resolve?
Being enraged forces your dignified demeanor to dissolve.
Does extreme fury dominate you, ruining while ruling your life?
Being terribly angry provokes friction, spiraling downward to strife.
Do you become incensed, bursting with mean looks and words spoken?
When infuriated, people lose control and relationships are often broken.
Does being very riled up cause you to forfeit joy, peace, and rest?
Becoming too upset robs you; mind, body, and soul health, rage will arrest.
Can you, at this time, grasp how excessive anger brings you harm?
It is akin to a lethal discharge of passions from an emotional firearm.
Are you quick to blame others for the vile behavior that you display?
In the end, your behavior is a result of your choices to do things your way.
Is it difficult for you to accept responsibility for your destructive angry actions?
Admit your fault; seek help before someone is hurt by your hot overreactions.
Have you truly tried the power of God to calm the raging storm within?
Jesus can save, sanctify, and settle, if you earnestly call Him, The Prince of Peace will come in.


When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. Leave no [such] room or foothold for the devil [give no opportunity to him]. Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another [readily and freely], as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32 (Amplified Bible)

God Said Go!!!

God Said Go!!!
Matthew 28:19 Go Ye

He said in Luke 4:18-19 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He hath anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Jesus said in Luke 19:10 The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

The church-the called out body of baptized believers-have been commissioned-that is we have been granted power and authority to transact God’s business here on earth. In a parable in Luke 19 He said, “Occupy till I come.” He said that to His 10 servants to which He delivered 10 pounds or 10 minas which is money.

Now occupy till I come means to busy oneself with, i.e. to trade. God has invested His resources in us and He is looking for a return on His investment. He has given you, as a Christian, Spiritual gifts, personal skills, talents, and abilities, and other resources such as time and finances to accomplish His will of lifting up the name of Jesus that He may draw all men unto Himself. We are to let our little light shine for Christ. God made an investment in us and Jesus is coming again to see how much every man has gained by trading.

Now many of us in the body of Christ have gotten hung up on ourselves. Many have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Being ignorant of God's righteousness, and have gone about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted ourselves unto the righteousness of God. Churches have become man centered, rather than Christ centered. Meaning we are catering to people by allowing them to dictate church operation rather than catering to God by obeying His commands.

A church is a people who are associated together for the worship and service of the Lord. We want to worship but we don’t want to work. We like to sing but we don’t like to serve, unless we can be the boss. We like doctrine but we don’t like doing it. Faith without works is dead. We want God to work for us-like a personal slot machine and body guard. God was not created for us. He created us for Himself. John the revelator records in Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.

People are bold to tell folk off in the church and scared to offer Jesus to someone as a personal Savior. We like to hear the Word, but we have fear to carry the Word to the ones who need it…The sinners-the unsaved-the lost-the one’s that sin has held captive. They need preaching to. We spend most of our time preaching to the choir. God has not given us a Spirit of fear, but of power love and a sound mind. These tools should make it easy to evangelize. Evangelism has been put on the shelf. We have left off building God’s Heavenly kingdom with souls to build our earthly kingdoms with stuff…

I have been commissioned…you have been commissioned…The church has been commissioned…The deacons, the mission, the ushers, the choir, the mothers, the youth…all Christians have been commissioned… To Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel men and women, boys and girls, doctors and lawyers, the workers and the unemployed, teachers and students, black, white, yellow, and brown men…Go and compel them to come in, that God’s house may be filled.

Some of us worry about insufficiencies…I don’t know what to say…I don’t know what to do…Jesus has the answer for your problem…Acts 1:8 says ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. God the Holy Spirit is your vehicle, your translator, and your motivator…Lo, I will be with you. God said Go and we all ought to be on the move…

God said G.-O. God Ordered Matthew chap 28 says Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. por-yoo'-om-ahee – means depart, go (away, forth, one's way, up), (make a, take a) journey, walk.

God said G.-O. Grand Opportunity Men everywhere need to be saved.
Isaiah said All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way
Peter said The Lord is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Paul said God will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth

God said G.-O. Get Out Your Comfort Zone, that pew, your rut, small dreaming, narrow mindedness, church stunting, laziness, pettiness, selfishness…Moses had issues with going…the church today has similar issues…Young Jeremiah- thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

God said G.-O. Get Onward Now is the time…don’t put it off until tomorrow, don’t wait to see who will help, don’t call a meeting and take a vote, move now…today if you hear His voice harden not your heart…Arise, take up thy bed, and walk…families are starving for salvation, fatherless children-need mentors, bosses need Jesus, enemies need Jesus, robbers, addicts, murderers, need a sanctified, Holy Ghost filled witness…Arise and Go Jonah to folk that treated you wrong…Arise and Go…

God said G.-O…God Owns You…God said G.-O…Good Occupation… God said G.-O…Great Obligation…We’ve been bought with a price…The reason I like to G.O. is because Christ went for me…He went out on Calvary when God the Father said GO!!! And you know what He did??? He died!!! They Got Him Off the cross and put Him in the grave and 3 days later He Rose…Do you know He rose with ALL Power…All Power…All Power in His hands…Hallelujah…Hallelujah…Thank You Jesus.

Tips for a Great 2008

Be Diligent in your loving devotion to God-worship, bible study, fellowship, stewardship, prayer and loving service to men, being a light in this dark world

Beware of falling into error by compromising your faith to fit into the world or satisfy personal desires that are contrary to the will of God

Be earnest in growing, maturing in your faith and in personal heart knowledge and greater understanding of Christ-His person, His work, and His will for your life.

Read 2 Peter 3:14-18

Don’t Return the Wrong Gift

Don’t Return the Wrong Gift

John 1:11. …His own received Him not.

One of the hallmarks of Christmas is gift giving. Some make known that they are following the pattern of the Original Gift Giver, the Originator of all things, God Almighty. Judgment will tell the tale of whether that is true in the end.

Some gifts are long lasting and are passed down to another generation and others may be rendered useless before nightfall on Christmas day. Some gifts are for gags, for laughs and some are the entranceways into life altering lifetime relationships. Some gifts are expensive and some come from ‘Everything’s a Dollar’.

In the gift giving transaction, there is a giver and a receiver. Givers can give with the very best of intentions, but a gift given has no guarantee of a receiver’s approval or acceptance. A receiver can reject the most fitting gift given to them, and do so, sometimes with something as simple, yet powerful as a look.

After Christmas, we stand in line to take gifts back for refunds or swap, substituting one item for something else. Gifts may be returned because ‘it was not the one I wanted’ or a gift may be defective or ‘I thought I wanted it but now I don’t’.

To turn one’s nose up at a multicolored Christmas tree tie or the umpteenth Christmas Santa mug or bag of new socks is one thing, but to reject the only gift leading to eternal life is another.

Jesus is the gift that God gave to take away the sin of the world. (John 1:29, 3:16) Peter boldly declared, “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

The toys, trinkets, and turtleneck sweaters of life have their place, but in the process and pull of time, they teeter, totter, fall down and apart, and then disappear forever.

The one thing left is the soul of man. The soul is inextinguishable, for it came from an inextinguishable God who made it thus. How shortsighted, we are to focus more on the temporariness of this life and fail ourselves by allowing our obsession with satiating our hunger for happiness today to blind us from considering more the huge hereafter, and especially our particular place in it.

“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.” (Matthew 16:26-27)

There is no real substitute for Jesus. It is not possible to swap Him for something better, for there is nothing better. He who made us in His image and likeness, came down to save us, by sacrificing His body, shedding His blood at Calvary’s cross to give us the gift of eternal life.

Sadly, I have hurt the feelings of others by my former far from righteous callous conduct in rejecting their heartfelt gifts to me. Now some people may be as I used to be, very finicky, downright picky, or even arrogantly particular. To be honest, I was proud, selfish, and ungrateful. The proper diagnosis would be a heart void of love, because my life was truly void of Christ.

I thank God, for Jesus and His healing mercy and gracious delivering power, for He healed my wayward will when He delivered my soul from the grip of sin. Even He, was a gift that I once rejected when I heard the Good News of Jesus Christ, about His great love for me and did not act on it because I was errantly enamored with things that could not eternally satisfy. How foolish I was to return the wrong gift in rejecting God’s Son.

I praise God that He called and sent preaching preachers, who kept proclaiming the Gospel, until that day when I said in the words of this song,

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Sweetest comfort of my soul;
With my Savior watching o’er me,
I can sing though billows roll.

Take the world, but give me Jesus,
Let me view His constant smile;
Then throughout my pilgrim journey
Light will cheer me all the while.

Take the world, but give me Jesus;
In His cross my trust shall be,
Till, with clearer, brighter vision,
Face to face my Lord I see.

Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
Oh, the length and breadth of love!
Oh, the fullness of redemption,
Pledge of endless life above!

In my own words, “In the morning when I rise, at night when I close my eyes, just give me Jesus. No food on my table or fancy clothes with designer labels, just give me Jesus. No toys or no tree, I can be happy as I can be, if you just give me Jesus, the One who died for me.”
Don’t return the wrong gift, keep Jesus forever in your heart.

Take a mortgage reality check

Take a mortgage reality checkBy Julie McAdory

STRONG AND POSITIVE holiday memories are forged in most people's hearts. Meals around the dining room table, stockings hung by the chimney with care, the opening of gifts and the sharing of stories - all activities that take place at home.

Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater New Orleans wants to help consumers avoid foreclosure at any time, but particularly during this holiday season. In today's uncertain economic environment, George Bailey of "It's a Wonderful Life" fame would have plenty of company. Mr. Bailey didn't anticipate the run on his bank, and undoubtedly would have done some things differently had he known.

More fortunate

Today's homeowners are more fortunate in that they can protect themselves from financial surprises surrounding their mortgages by using the National Foundation for Credit Counseling's Mortgage Reality CheckSM. This self-diagnostic tool is a predictor of the likelihood of foreclosure.

Continuing its five decades of financially educating and assisting consumers, the NFCC, of which CCCS is a member, created the Housing Crisis Resource CenterSM, an online consumer resource available in English and Spanish. The English site can be found at www.HousingHelpNow.org, with the Spanish site at www.nopierdastuhogar.org.

Within each site, consumers can find a wealth of resources including the Mortgage Reality CheckSM quiz. After answering a few questions, the consumer is placed into one of three categories:

· Immediate advice or assistance recommended
· Review the responsibilities of homeownership
· No apparent risk

Get help now

Consumers at risk can immediately connect with a NFCC-certified housing counselor by phone or online, and begin constructing a plan to save their home. Others can use the resource tools on the site to improve their knowledge of the homeownership process and responsibilities.

"Homeownership is a dream worth preserving. Every consumer would benefit from visiting this site and taking the Mortgage Reality CheckSM," said Tom Collens, executive vice president.
Consumers can receive immediate assistance by calling CCCS at (800) 880-2221 or visiting www.cccsno.org. For more than 50 years, the NFCC has provided consumers with sound financial advice as the recognized leader in financial education and counseling services, assisting more than 2 million consumers a year.

Housing counseling is a core service of nearly all NFCC member agencies and most are HUD-approved housing counseling services.

My Lord, I Pledge to Thee Mine All

My Lord, I Pledge to Thee Mine All

My Lord, I pledge allegiance to Thee.
Thou, who, pledged allegiance to me, made a curse for mine sin, Thou didst die on my behalf at Calvary out on a tree.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine heart,
For Thou, in love, personally, purposely planned mine beat, mine being and boundaries, before the world’s start.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine eyes.
I will continually lift them up unto Thee, Thou who dwelleth in glory beyond the visible skies.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine hands.
May I ever more joyfully labor to carry out Thy amazing, blessed, and consecrated commands.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine feet.
Guide me whithersoever Thou willeth, that Thou seest for me as essential, good, and meet.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine ears.
Make me to know Thy voice, for Thy voice strengthens and settles me, removes my doubts, and chases away all mine fears.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine voice.
May I ever preach, teach, and reach out to all men to compel them to sincerely cry out to Thee to make Thee their eternal choice.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine praise.
Thou, in Thy faithfulness, hast done marvelous things for me, for this cause, I will sing of and to Thee for the rest of my days.

My Lord, I pledge to serve Thee down to mine very last breath.
I rejoice to know that I will ever live with Thee, for Thou wilt raise me up victorious-hell shall not know me, the grave cannot hold me, neither shall I be ever bound by the shadowy clutch of death.

My Lord, I pledge to Thee mine soul,
For me Thou hung, bled, and died and faith in Thy sacrifice has saved me, making me every whit whole.

My Lord, to Thee I pledge, both now and ever, mine all.
Help me to be faithful, farsighted, and fruitful for Thee in such a time as this, my generation, as I await from Thee, eternity’s call.

I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt Thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

None of Self and All of Thee

None of Self and All of Thee
by Theodore Monod

Oh, the bitter pain and sorrow
That a time could ever be,
When I proudly said to Jesus,
“All of self, and none of Thee.”
All of self, and none of Thee,
All of self, and none of Thee,
When I proudly said to Jesus,
“All of self, and none of Thee.”

Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Bleeding on th’ accursed tree,
And my wistful heart said faintly,
“Some of self, and some of Thee.”
Some of self, and some of Thee,
Some of self, and some of Thee,
And my wistful heart said faintly,
“Some of self, and some of Thee.”

Day by day His tender mercy,
Healing, helping, full and free,
Brought me lower while I whispered,
“Less of self, and more of Thee.”
Less of self, and more of Thee,
Less of self, and more or Thee,
Brought me lower while I whispered,
“Less of self, and more of Thee.”

Higher than the highest heaven,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lord, Thy love at last has conquered:
“None of self, and all of Thee.”
None of self, and all of Thee,
None of self, and all of Thee,
Lord, Thy love at last has conquered:
“None of self, and all of Thee.”

My Gift to My Lord

My Gift to My Lord

Lord, You came from above,
As a gift, wrapped and filled with love.
To give man opportunity for endless life,
Delivering him up from the grave consequences of sin and its misery and strife.

Oh, what gift to You can I give,
To You the reason I exist, the reason why I live?
What gift can I, upon You, bestow?
You birthed the idea of my conception, brought me into being, and nurtured me to grow.

By Your handiwork of grace, You formed and then reformed me.
Your Spirit has regenerated me with a new heart of understanding and new eyes to see.
What gift can I give to You for all the gifts You’ve given me?
I can’t give You anything new for all I have came from thee.

So that I can give You something You desire, I ask this one request.
Help me to love as You love me, for the way You love me makes me know I am blest.
Help me to love fervently, intentionally, and unconditionally, too.
Help me to love chastely and sacrificially, for that is the best way to emulate You.

Lord, my gift of love to You, I bring.
It may seem only a trifling, token, little thing.
I am glad You accept heartfelt effort, however big, however small.
I pray thee to accept my little offering of love…My gift to You is a pledge of my all…

For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
John 13:15

I'm a Senior, but I'm Striving

I'm a Senior, but I'm Striving

I'm a senior…
I'm not as young as I used to be,
But, I'm striving.

I'm a senior…
I can’t see as far as I used to see,
But, I'm striving.

I'm a senior…
I no longer move about as quickly as a bumblebee,
But, I'm striving.

I'm a senior…
I'm no longer as strong as an oak tree,
But, I'm striving.

Yes. I'm a senior…
Striving to do what, you may ask me?

With the mercy of the Lord, I'm striving to enjoy each day despite any pain or frailty I may feel in my weakening frame.

By the grace of God, I'm striving to enjoy my family and friends with the time I have left-I wish I could freeze-frame.

With the help of the Lord, I'm striving to invest the wisdom that God has given me in someone else. To help them is my aim.

Because of God’s love and by His mighty power, I'm striving forward looking unto Jesus who died for me and keeping my faith in Him and telling others to do the same.

Yes, I'm a senior, but I'm striving every day. I'm pressing on trying to reach my heavenly home in Jesus Name!!!

But the godly will flourish like palm trees and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. For they are transplanted to the LORD’s own house, they flourish in the courts of our God. Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. They will declare, “The LORD is just! He is my rock! There is no evil in Him!” Psalm 92:12-15 New Living Translation

O’ let, Him touch and hold you with His hands! His hands will soothe and satisfy your longing soul!!! Touch now, Lord Jesus!

And when the sabbath day was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing Him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto Him, that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands? Mark 6:2

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, which gave them Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand. John 10:27-29
