WHY NOE

Genesis Chapter Six

Verses 8 thru 12


8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

How could Noah find favor in the eyes of of the evil world in which he stood out as a believer? The people of the world hated and persecuted him, because both by his walk of life and preaching he admonished them but he found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Vs. 8). Noah walked with God and kept His precepts. This made him more truly honorable than the earthly men of renown. Noah’s attitude was to keep the chief desire to labor that his family may be accepted of God. As the rest of the world grew disgusting, Noah kept his integrity. God's good-will towards Noah produced this good work in him. He was just; justified by faith before God. He dwelt upon God’s promises. As such he lived holy, and had right principles; and was righteous in his conversations. He was not only honest, but devout. Noah continually strove to do the God’s will as he knew it. God looks down upon those who do so with an eye of favor. Those who sincerely look up to him with an eye of faith. It is easy to be religious when religion is in fashion; but but it is religion for religion's benefits. It is more difficult to swim against the current than to drift along with the crowd and to witness for God when all others deny Him. Noah swam. All kinds of evil, lustful and disgusting sin was found among the other inhabitants of the earth. They corrupted God's design. Awful Sins fills the earth with violence and disrespect of God. This fully justified God's resolve to destroy the world. The world became totally corrupt. When wickedness is become general, ruin is not far off. While there is a remnant of praying people in a nation, to empty the measure of madness as it fills, judgments may be long withheld. However, when all hands are at work to pull down the defenses, by sin, and none stand in the gap to make up the breach, what can be expected but a flood of wrath? Know God, know peace Amen 10-04-19 BLL

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing an audience wit

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us backtrack to

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if not warmed wil
