How Many Lord?

    HOW MANY LORD
These are unpredictable times. With COVID-19 slowly taking the righteous and the worldly sinners alike in even greater numbers. Appearing with seeming random selection it touches our neighbors here and world wide. Some survive, some do not. True believers in the Lord Jesus who do not are carried by angels away to paradise as Jesus assured the converted thief on the cross beside him. (Luke 23:43) “ And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Those who have not been covered in the blood of Jesus are doomed to a devils hell. With so many bad choices available and being promoted, why are “Christians” sitting sedately by while the lost around us may perish? Let faith produce works. Work, Christians while it is day; soon none will be able to penetrate the darkness and invite lost souls into the light.
Our nation is not alone in the battle for freedom from death. The United States has total population of ( 246,780,000). The Roman Catholic Church denomination is the largest group in the world today with more than a billion followers constituting about half of the world's Christian population.  There are approximately 800 million Protestants in the world, comprising 38% of the global Christian population. The United States has more Protestants than any other country (160 million), which is about 20% of the worldwide total number of Christians. Approximately 260 million people worldwide are Orthodox Christians, comprising 12% of the global Christian population. Nearly 40% of Orthodox Christians worldwide live in Russia. Nearly one-third... about 28 million adherents worldwide (1%) do not belong to any one of these three largest Christian traditions, but do fit within the broad umbrella of Christianity.

Author Ferdinand Bada research revealed that about 33.2% of the world's population is considered to be Christian.
The term Christian encompasses a broad range of denominations, with Roman Catholicism comprising the largest group made up of around 1.3 billion in America alone.
Today in the United States, the number of adults who identify as Christians has dropped significantly. That means of the 230 million Americans, a little over one third call themselves Christians. By comparison, the next largest religions group in America is Judaism and Islam. Combined, these faiths represent less than three percent of the United States population. Living side by side with different religious groups and the lost, why do we not have a zeal to lead the lost to the Lord.
Time is closing out, the end is near.
Acts 26:22 “Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:” Know God, know peace. Amen. 07-14-2020 BLL

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

By -
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 ...
