The Dance

The Dance

People who frequent country music and songs sources have, no doubt, heard Garth Brooks sing “The Dance.” The song brings some sad gladness to the heart of the listener. Why do they torture themselves by mentally living the fictitious lies portrayed in lyrics designed for “beer drinking music?” Garth published a sad song called “The Dance.” (In part) “Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars above, For a moment all the world was right. And now I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end; the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I’d have had to miss the dance.”

“Into every life some rain must fall.” None pick and choose how life will go but we live or die by the choices we make. Bad choices are not made totally intentionally. Satan has plans for us and entices us to dance to his tune; don’t sip from the poison of Satan’s cup! There was a time, is a time or will be a time when God offers a cup of living water which, if taken, yields eternal life. He becomes our guide, choice maker and re-warder. When we get the news that life for us has run its course, we naturally react emotionally.

Life is not better left to chance. Chance is the devils brother and he will deceive you. Dance with wolves and get bitten. The dances of this world are better left alone. It is the dance that gives the pain which can only be avoided by abstinence and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord. (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.)

When Satan comes knocking on your life’s door, let Jesus answer. When God calls and the Holy Spirit comes to escort past realms too dark to see into the light of Love, we lay chance aside and pick up faith. When we get the notice of death, we won’t need to “go sky diving, mountain climbing, horse back riding, go six seconds on the back of a bull named Fu Manchu. (Brooks) We have the strong arms of our heavenly Father to lean on. What we Christians do is fall onto callused knees and talk to the Father who has all answers. Chance vaporizes under the solidity of faith. Walk with God; avoid sad memories in life. He holds the future in His hands. Satan cannot touch Him. Jesus is mine. I talk and He listens intently. When sorrow comes, and it will, the Lord is only a whisper away with soothing love and reassurance. Know God, know peace. Amen. 05/06/21 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 ...
