Fire

Fire is the selected symbol of purity, cleanliness and of the holiness of God (Ex. 3:2; Rev. "2:18), Fire is, as written, indicates "the intense, all-consuming operation of" "the Lord’s holiness in relation to man’s sin."

Christians, do your good works. Prove yourselves worthy. Stand firm and tall among others who falter in doubt. There is hope and joy for God’s children who keep his commandments and love one another. Be a help where help is needed. Be a friend where consoling is needed. Most of all be a child of God properly representing Him in all things. Administer the word; some will hear and accept. Some will not. Fear not what tomorrow might bring but live every day for the Lord knowing that what will be will be. God selects from the multitude as He judges. Work to share. Lay not up stores beyond your need. It is worthless to you. Rather invest in God’s service and providing aid to the little children and become like them.

James 5:3 “Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.” (Matthew 3:12) “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 13:48 “So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50 And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” 
Our life is but a vapor in time; short and fragile. While we last God’s appointed time, we are to glorify Him with our reaping souls from the gates of hell by our good works. Fear of reports of dying and suffering should not defer us from our appointed task. “Work while it is day for the night comes when no man can work.”
1 Corinthians 3:16 “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

Hebrews 12:29 “For our God is a consuming fire.”

2 Peter 3:7 “...the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. (Revelation 20:15) “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.”
Revelation 20:14 “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.”
We sail a course not set of our own selves but set by God. We may veer off course but we will end where God waits. Know God, know peace. Amen. 11-14-2020 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 ...

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 ...
