God’s Love

Jenesis 1:26-27 “And God said, Let vs make man in our Image, after our likenesse: and let them haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer the cattell, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth. 27 So God created man in his owne Image, in the Image of God created hee him; male and female created hee them. (KJV 1611)

When God spoke of “US” in the plural, to whom was He talking? He was speaking from all three tenses; past, present and future. Let us make man in our Image, after our likeness was not a fluke of the recorders pen when writing Genesis. God was speaking from Love to Love. God is love and Love is the mortar that binds intelligent beings together with each other and with God. At this point in the creation, only a few things had been named as individuals. From Genesis 1:1 up to this statement of let us make man, only a few things were called by a name. Adam would eventually have the responsibility of naming everything. These things were spoken of by a name: [heauen, and the earth, darkenesse, water, light, day, night, euening and morning, firmamen, place, land, seas, grasse, herbes, fruit, tree, dayes and yeeres, starres, whales, cattell, fish, and then man]

With no pryor reference to draw from, why did they choose “Man” to represent the top level of earthly creations. Certainly, man had dominion over all the earth. No other name would have carried that distinction. Man is an adult human male. Man was created in the likeness of God as to the perfection of his nature which is total love, Man was molded from dirt into knowledge ( Colossians 3:10 “And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him; righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:23-24 “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.[LOVE] and as having dominion over all the inferior creatures (Genesis 1:28). He had in his original state God's law [LOVE] written on his heart, and had power to obey it, and yet was capable of disobeying, being left to the freedom of his own will.

The choice made by man was to shun God and follow after the desires of their own heart. But, God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son to die for man’s choice to go their own way. Any who would believe upon Him and His sacrifice could be saved from themselves. Love divided love and melted the cement between Gods and suffered loss that man might reunite with them in love. Now, good men reunite with LOVE in love. We who know God in the free pardon of sin love one another as we love ourselves. In God’s love we are one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; even with one another. Amen. 05/04/21 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 ...
