The Begining

THE BEGINNING

Everything in God’s great creation had, has and will have a beginning and an ending. From the sub-microscopic, single celled dwellers to the furthermost star in God’s universe, all things must begin and as they begin they will end. It is no different for the Corona Virus. Only God, His celestial beings and His Bride have eternal life. Heaven and earth shall pass away but God’s Word will never vanish. The beginning and the ending are not so important as the fulfillment of their purpose. Though sometimes we are made to wonder, humankind began as the most intelligent and powerful earthly inhabitant. God gave us knowledge to have authority over natural creations. Somewhere we began to boast of our powers and as a result exploit them. The result alters the “between” intended for our lives. We lost control.

Genesis 9:20 “And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:”
The new clean earth began well but it would end in disasters.
1 Chronicles 1:10 “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth. 10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh,...”
A wicked city. Jonah was sent to warn them. They repented and began to be righteous ended an evil place. All who began to live also went to the sleep of death.
The law began wholesome and right. It was modified over the centuries. By the beginning of Jesus ministry, buying and selling on the Sabbath was being accomplished inside the temple itself. Man made laws defeated the spirit of all Mosaic laws.
Luke 3:23 “And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Three years later he began to prepare for His death on the cross.
Matthew 26:37 “And he Jesus) took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.”

His condition of sorrow began and ended within a days time. He began His sleep on the eve of the Sabbath and ended it three days later having victory over death and hell and having laid a path for us to eternal life. Luke 15:14 describes how wayward children can return into God’s fold. Begin to be sorry for straying, repent and ask forgiveness.; end in acceptance. Christians loose tis tent of clay but it is renewed in newness.
Hebrews 2:3 “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Know God, know peace. Amen 05-12-2020 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 ...

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 back...

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 ...
