Unforgetable Journey

UNFORGETTABLE JOURNEY

From birth to the closing of life on this earth, we are a product of the choices we make. Life molds us according to God’s great plan if we choose the path He has open for us. At a very young age, I studied religion for two years at Hiwassee College. I truly believe that was in the plan and will of God. I studied for two years at EETSU in Biology and Science; two years at Waler State College. Progressing out of God’s will, I passed Two more years at ETSU in the field of Criminal Justice. This, I say, was not the plan God had for me. I now have a Masters degree from Him. Many years found me lboring out of God’s will. I retired as chief after thirty six plus years with the Sullivan County Sheriffs Office and became a minister of God’s word. My years with SCSO was a dieviation from God’s plan. There were other options open to me. I know that choice has made all the difference. My daughter Deanna is married to Sheriff Cassidy's brother, Chuck Cassidy. I have a little insight to the changes developing in his life. Helping others is God’s plan for all His children. Blessed are the peace keepers. Blessed are the feet of the Saints. When these two biblical truth merge into one, the opportunity to serve God increase directly proportional to the will of the saint. If God’s will is chosen by saints of authority, great and mighty works can be accomplished. That is one reason Jesus said for His children to pray for those having authority over them.
Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Romans 10:15 “And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
We are not alone in this virus fight. God can protect those who are obedient to His will and call upon His name. COVID-19 is simply another path opening from the path Adam and Eve made. They made the wrong choice. God is not responsible for this affliction. We give Satan power to afflict us. He gladly accepts. Don’t let Him rule your life. Know God, Know peace. Amen. 06-22-2020 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 an audience wit

A Giving Heart

  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col

This Day

  Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Let Each Day We can only live each day in its time frame. Yesterday, with its ups and downs is passed never to return. Tomorrow is a vision of hope not yet on the horizon. Today is the day the Lord has given us. Lets make the best soldier for Him that we can while the day passes into yesterday. Each day bares its on unique set of events. Some recognizable some masked in ignorance. As we near the dawning of a new day, calling upon the Lord is a necessary activity. If we neglect the creat o r and giver of the new day, we simply cannot have a right spirit. Joy comes in the morning only through God’s book of promises. You can depend upon them unless the bible is shelved drawing dust. Open the new day with prayer and an open book. 1 Timothy 4: 4 “ For every creature of God
