COME AGAIN
The unsinkable Titanic, a British passenger liner, sank on its maiden voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912, following a statement made by the captain that not even “God could sink her.” More than 1,500 died when the ship struck an iceberg thought to be too far south. The iceberg that took it down, if seen at all, was not seen in its entirety. As is normal, approximately two thirds floated concealed beneath the frigid surface of the North Atlantic.
Disasters and diseases appear and surprise us because the greater part is working beneath our ability to comprehend, avoid or eradicate the danger before a catastrophic event occurs.
Locked into habitual mundane and ordinary modes of thinking, we ignore the warning flags. They point to something beyond the obvious. There are many who having been made aware of pending disaster or latent destruction and pandemics refuse to correct their course. Consequentially many are in pearl. Indifference will keep the eye from the microscope, seismographs or telescope. This failure often leads to disaster.
God gave us knowledge, wisdom and understanding far greater then the other animals abroad. He surly meant for us to apply it to life. After Adam brought disease and death, we would need it often. Open minds, prayer and faith opens the door to Gods intervention. Ranting, raving and accusing God serves no productive purpose. Spiritual examination of situations below the surface may produce calm preperation.
Preparation during the lull in the center of the storm will better prepare for the returning winds of sorrow. Knowledge of the iceberg's hidden mass can distance those in its path from hidden danger. Just because you can’t see it, does not mean that it isn’t there. So it is with the return of COVID-19. So it is with return of our Lord Jesus. Watch for clews hidden beneath the surface. Obey those who have looked. Victory is written clearly in history and in God’s word. There is peace in applied knowledge.
John 16:7 “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.”
John 14:3 “I go to prepare a place for you. 3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”
See the signs and watch. Know God, know peace. Amen. 07-01-2020 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 ...
