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

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

By -
  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
