"Consecration isn't our giving

anything to God. It is our taking our

hands off what already belongs to

God."

                       - Walter B. Knight

"The struggle of life is one of our greatest blessings.

It makes us patient, sensitive, and Godlike.

It teaches us that although the world is full of suffering,

it is also full of the overcoming of it."

                               ~ Helen Keller ~

I like both, but most especially:

"Consecration isn't our giving anything to God.
It is our taking our hands off
what already belongs to God."

......GOD TRULY DOES

EXPECT HIS

PEOPLE TO LOVE

HIM FOR REASONS

OTHER THAN JUST

BEING THEIR

SAVIOUR.  

MAY YOU ENJOY YOUR BLESSINGS TODAY!!!
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein
He hath made us accepted in the beloved.

To who, much grace has been given,

Salvation is by Faith


For by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8,9)

"Religion" is man's best effort to reach up to God, but Christ is God's only method to reach down to man in forgiveness and offer him true life."

Praise Him!

We have the privilege of praising God for making us a
New creation in Christ, we can praise Him for having
chosen us before the foundation of the world,
Praise him that we are complete in Christ Jesus
Praise Him "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption"

What A Saviour We Have

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.



If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.



If you attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.




If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.



If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.



If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially in the United States.



If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.




If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God's healing touch.



If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.



You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.

When praying,
don't give God instructions *
just report for duty.

Knowing as famous 19th century preacher

Charles Spurgeon said;

The trouble with us is to bring our

expectations up to the high level of God 's

willingness to bestow.  

The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life,
Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27: 1-2
  Have a bless day.

The ten commandments are not multiple choice

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Wait on the Lord,
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
Wait, I say on the Lord.
Psalm 27:14
Have a Bless Day

"The world is conquered
by the Word, and by the
Word the church is
served and rebuilt."
- Martin Luther

How often we look upon God as our
last and feeblest resource!
We go to him because we have nowhere else to go.
And then we learn that the storms
of life have driven us,
not upon the rocks,
but into the desired haven.

George Macdonald

You have a choice.
You can spend your life being angry at what you did not get out of life or you can count your blessings for what you have.

Topic:  Taxes

Title:  10 Things That Cannot Be Taxed
 
A tax assessor came one day to a poor pastor to determine the amount of taxes the pastor would have to pay. The following conversation took place:
 
 "What property do you possess?" asked the assessor.
 
 "I am a very wealthy man," replied the minister.
 
 "List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.
 
 The pastor said:
 
 "First, I have everlasting life, John 3:16
 
 Second, I have a mansion in heaven, John 14:2
 
 Third, I have peace that passes all understanding,  Philippians 4:7
 
 Fourth, I have joy unspeakable, 1 Peter 1:8
 
 Fifth, I have divine love which never fails, 1Corinthians 13:8
 
 Sixth, I have a faithful pious wife, Proverbs 31:10
 
 Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children, Exodus 20:12
 
 Eighth, I have true, loyal friends, Proverbs 18:24
 
 Ninth, I have songs in the night, Psalms 42:8
 
 Tenth, I have a crown of life, James 1:12
 
 The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you are a very rich man, but your property is not subject to taxation."
 
 I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free "wealth."

Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.


                                    By-- George MacDonald

I have found that often when I pray, I pray that God will give me a solution, but God desires that I grow through the process to be more like Him.

Self will come to life even in the slaying of self; but there is ever something deeper and stronger than it, which will emerge at last from the unknown abysses of the soul: will it be as a solemn gloom, burning with eyes? or a clear morning after the rain? or a smiling child, that finds itself nowhere, and everywhere?

God does not offer us a way out of the testings of life.
He offers us a way through, and that makes all the difference.

                             W. T. Purkiser

By placing our faith in Christ’s shed blood and nothing else, we can have eternal life.  Isn’t today a good day to place your faith in Christ?  There will never be a better time.  In fact, there is no guarantee of another day. Trust Christ today.

I hope i age like these guys. I got it in my email from a catholic group.

on the birthday of my presidium, maria regina angelorum, we visit a
house for old people last sunday.  there were 8 ladies we're
meeting, and 3 are in a sad condition because of stroke. we had so
much fun, praying rosary together, had lunch together, singing and
telling stories.  being with them made me think real hard about what
is life actually.  i mean, you cant have the body, the look, the
strength, the ablities that you have now forever. one day you will
become old weak and can't even walk.  is that scary? what is
catholic belief in why are we here in this world?  it is for glorify
and serve God.  and back to the old women, yet they still have the
spirit of life.  so why are we, the youngters sometimes in life,
feel of giving up and losing the faith?  God is with us all the
way.  1 word to share, remember, I will keep you and carry you until
the day that your hair turning white..'  let's all call our
grandmas, grandpas, parents, and old relatives today telling them
how much we love them. peace be with you all loved ones..

      Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture.  It is a two stage process.  It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new.
      The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you.  It is the attitude and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality.  
     The new is the truth.  To renew your mind is to      involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with the truth.
      To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.
                                           ---   Charles Stanley

Ecc.12:13 let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear
G-d,and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty
of men.

I think this totally shocked me the first time I saw it.  It sort

Sure they are...I will check off Remember the Sabbath and to keep it holy. This certainly was for the Jews who were under the law. Judaism.

We are no longer under the law. Does this mean I should chose to sin? By no means...but I live by grace and not by the law. We are not to mix the law with grace.

Those who believe that they aren't fully acceptable to God
will find it difficult to experience intimacy with him.
It's not easy to warm up to
somebody if you don't think that they particularly
accept or approve of you.
One of Satan's most effective tools is to cause  
Christians to feel that God frowns

" For the LORD gives wisdom: out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding." Proverbs 2:6
" But as for you, continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2Timothy 3:14-17

Today, under grace, we have the promise of "grace and power" (2 Corinthians 12:8) sufficient for any problem in our lives, and the Lord Jesus wants us to learn this secret of contentment. Not that He will fix all our problems or "move all our mountains" out of our way, no matter how much faith we may have, but that He is our strength.

"I can do everything through Christ who constantly strengthens me!" Have you learned the secret? Do you know God's Grace For Today?

The Holy Alphabet . . ..
 
 
Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame

Even when the times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee

Move out of "Camp Complaining"

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone

Quit looking at the future

Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

To "thank" is a command

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky

We'll run the race with gratitude

Xalting God most high

Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...

Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

Prayer is a cry from the bare spot in our lives,
from the empty space, from the part of us that is missing.
It is the wounded part seeking to be healed,
the missing part seeking to be found,
the now-dry clay of the sculpture seeking
the hands that first touched it, first caressed it, first loved it.

The Sermons We See

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day,
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely show the way.

The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;

And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,
For to see the good in action is what everybody needs.

I can soon learn how to do it if you'll let me see it done.
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.

And the lectures you deliver may be very wise and true;
But I'd rather get my lesson by observing what you do.

For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.

~Edgar A. Guest  

"Faith is not in what can I get God to do for me, but rather Faith in what He has already done for me."


We are stabilized by the person of Our Lord Jesus Christ, It is in whom we place our faith in, not the amount we have. If He does not reveal His attributes to us we would have nothing to believe in. Thus Faith is about HIS faithfulness not ours.

Galatians 3:26" For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,"  

" Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools."Ecclesiastes 7:9

Remember "the Judgement Seat of Christ", is much closer today than it has ever been before! Are you ready to meet the Lord (IICor.5:10)?

"We pursue God because,

and only because,

He has first put an urge within us

that spurs us to the pursuit."

      -- A. W. Tozer

"Religion" is man's best effort to reach up to God, but Christ is God's only method to reach down to man in forgiveness and offer him true life."

2 Tim 2:15  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a  workman  that needeth  not  to  be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

God allows the faith to be tried, and He permits trouble to crowd into our lives.
Sometimes they seem more than we can bear, but Christ can bear them.  
The first step towards "parted-waters" is to frequently remind ourselves that the Lord has either put us in this different place or has allowed us to be there for reasons perhaps only He knows.  

This passage means a lot to me.  It speaks volumes as to what society is trying to push on us.  Woe to them, and I pray for them.  blessings to you

Grace & Peace from God the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Has it dawned on you that another year in our Lord is coming to a close? It seems that it went by all to quick.Well as we are huddled around with our love ones during this Holiday Season can you just share the true meaning on why Christ was born and that He came to die!!! The greatest gift that you can give is to share how that
1Co 15:3
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
If you truly love them you will share this with them.
If the Lord allows us to tarry another year lets not wait on this time again to let them know the Gospel of Christ..Too see one past from death to Life is also wonderful.

Until that Day comes just keep,
Tit 2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;


In Christ Jesus
Brother Love :)
