Slipping Awy

Slipping Away
There are many accounts in the north lands of ice walkers and ice fishers who misjudge the thickness of the ice. As a result the ice breaks way beneath their weight and they plunge into the frigid waters below. Often alone and miles from dry land, they emerge only to flounder in a desperate but futile attempt to claw their way back to solid ice. Rarely, if ever, is this accomplished. Their ordeal is short lived. Within a matter of minutes hypothermia numbs their thinking process and they slowly slip away beneath the cold water into the deep darkness below. As team leader for the Underwater Investigative Unit for the Sullivan County, Tennessee Sheriff’s Office, I can tell you a truth. If properly prepared, outfitted and mentally ready, the under water world is a wonderful experience. As one slips away into the watery world, troubles left above, become less worrisome, the body relaxes and the weightless journey soothes the soul.
When trials of this life tax us to near insanity and we fear loss, we must put on a full outfit of spiritual reinforcement. We receive, from God’s book of instructions, exactly what is needed. We must not let these truths slip away; especially in face of world wide pandemics, rioting and looting.
Hebrews 2:1 “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Revelation 2:25 “But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

Hebrews 10:23 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;...”
Revelation 3:11 “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15 “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught,...”
Hebrews 3:14 “For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;”
1 Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith hold on to eternal life,...”
1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
Fully dress for your Christian experience knowing His instructions, preparing His dress and slip not away from the truth. In Ephesians Chapter 6 our protective clothing is listed for us. Dress accordingly and slip not away. Verses: 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith,...” 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:”
Know God, know peace. Amen 06-03-2020 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 ...
