No Time

We rush and hustle. We run and we grow weak. We complain; “where does time go? We anxiously await the arrival of our lone missed loved ones. We wait and wait and time slips away unnoticed until the final hours alert us. Too late then to make amends where possible, we grieve its passing; for others as well as ourselves. Most successful people have a “game plan.” Written and recorded, this plan becomes a trail map to time conservation...well to time’s better applications. There are some startling statistics I have discovered and wish to impart to those “too busy” Christians who sit and wait on Jesus’ coming: According to a “Timex survey,” Americans wait on average of 20 minutes a day for the bus or plane train, 32 minutes whenever they visit a doctor and 28 minutes waiting in security lines whenever they travel. Most Americans spend 13 hours annually waiting on hold for customer service report Time. The average American commuter spends 38 hours each year waiting in traffic. Big city commuters average more than 50 hours waiting in traffic annually. Americans annually spend 37 billion hours waiting inline, according to the New York Times. Waiting in an average lifetime is astonishing! [https://logisticsmgepsupv.wordpress.com/2017/04/04/...] April 04, 2017 report:· Human beings spend approximately 6 months of their lives waiting in line for things, it means like 3 days a year of queueing up (waiting line of people or cars): The average person spends about 43 days on hold with automated customer service in one lifetime. Those who take the bus or plane will wait about 27 days of their lives waiting in lobbies and lines. Professing Christians will be in church services about three times per week or .071+ avg. in 24 hours; Non-Christian believers in Christ about, .0000007 hrs per day (+ or -). There is no time!
Luke 10:39 “And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40 But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me. 41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: 42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Deuteronomy 5:13 “Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 14But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LOordhy God: in it thou shalt not do any work,” (Philippians 4:8) “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, what soever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.” (Job 14:1) ”Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. (James 4:14) “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

Know God, know peace. Amen. 05/27/21 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 ...
