Day Star

Some may not know that if you are in a deep hole, opening toward the sky, you can see the stars at bright noon time. The brightness of the sun on the earth’s atmosphere overshadows the darkness of space and its glory. In today’s large, bright cities with their artificial light turning night to day, it is possible that some have never seen the night sky in all its glory. There is a star that shines so holy that the sun cannot dampen its brightness and influence upon God’s creation.
2 Peter 1:19 “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:”
The gospel is no weak thing, but comes in power: (Romans 1:16.) “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth...”
Sin and unbelief comes when there is lack of a definition of wrongs. Where there is no law, there is no sin. The law defines sin and forbids its accomplishment. Thus, all who know the law surly recognizes sin. But, there it leaves us. We know through Jesus Christ’s sacrificial shedding of His blood on the cross the fix for sin. The word builds faith and reveals the snares of Satan. Only its powerful honest presentment makes good men confess and bad men desire to be Christians. All who believe in Christ shall be accepted and saved. The truth and reality of the gospel is; “draw nigh to God and He will draw night to you.” How concrete and sure should our faith be, who have such a firm and sure word to rest upon? It is the light of the Scriptures shining as a day star, lit by the Holy Spirit, that brings day-break that infiltrates the whole soul. It turns darkness into perfect day. Every man ought to search the Word to understand the sense and meaning God desires us to have. In that book He tastes a sweetness, and feels a power, and sees a glory, truly divine. Written by The Holy Ghost through chosen men of God, it is infallible. He so assisted and directed them in delivering what they had received from him, that they clearly expressed His will. The Scriptures are to be accounted the words of the Holy Ghost. Thus, all the plainness and simplicity, all the power and all the propriety of the word, comes from God. Mix faith with what you find in the Scriptures, and esteem and reverence the Bible as a book written by holy men, taught by the Holy Ghost.
Know God, know peace. Amen. 03/07/21 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 ...
