Slip and Slide

Slip and Slide.

Cain slew his brother Able without provocation. Simple jealously and personal chastisement drove the hand with the clod that struck the deadly blow. The bible record does not elaborate further than the act, burial and denial by Cain. Because evil had entered into the hearts of all God’s people they began to slip and slide further and further from the right way into the waiting arms of Satan. Eternal life on earth had been forfeited. Peace and tranquility had become null and void. Hate, greed and coveting replaced love in peoples heart. As births occurred, these evil traits were passed on through generations. God turned a rejecting back toward humankind. It grieved Him that he ever created them. It was a pattern of “slip and slide” into deeper depravity until all the thoughts of people on earth were evil. One mans life appeared before God and displayed belief and righteousness. His name was Noe and he was predestined to save a strain of all life. God destroyed all but Noah’s family and squelched the earth. Slipping and sliding of Christians from and into Godly practices creates displeasure in heaven and precariously perches them on the bring of God’s judgment. Some tend to slip into some church for a while. Finding fault the slide out and slip into another. Repeatedly, they find faults and lack understanding and faith. Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God in all its facets. The uncertainty of slipping and sliding is a red flag. To sit in the loving hand of God and become like Him get off the skate board of Satan's playing field and Know God!

Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

Colossians 2:6 “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:” (Ephesians 5:15) “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,”
Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Hebrews 8:1 “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;”

Hebrews 12:1 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

Know God, know peace. Amen 06\12\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 an audience wit

Promise

By -
  Promise Only God can soothe the striving, immortal soul. He made the heart for His glory. Only He can fill it with peace and love. That is a promise that He made to those who fulfill His purpose in our creation. Though it is a simple manner to return to God and serve His purpose he is a complex ruler of the universe. A God of peace, a God of war, he cuddles His own and chastens them. The enemy of God can expect stern reduction in numbers beneath His two edged sword. We are to walk circumspectly in his ways, rightly dividing the instructions in His Word. As iron sharpens iron, Christians sharpen one another. We must police our own. Consider this: Two little children went into the creek side meadow to run and play. Adults knew the danger but hoped they would be okay. Then from his lyrein in the clift above, the dragon came out to sun. Oh! The prayers the adults sent up to God for the children’s safety. But the dragon knew no God. He ate the children and returned to his den to

A Giving Heart

By -
  A GIVING HEART “ Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.” (1 Chronicles 29:9) Israel’s people brought gifts for the construction of the holy temple in Jerusalem, it is mentioned no less than six times in this chapter that their offerings were willing offerings. In fact, they were not only willing but it also brought rejoicing in their hearts. They were building a worship house. It was a sacred place, a place belonging to all who would come to worship. Joyful giving is not the usual response to a fundraising effort for a religious cause by modern church leaders. The parishioners follow the attitude of their chosen pastors and often the pastor tickles their ears to encourage giving. The great proliferation of solicitation of money today by media broadcast has developed a growing cynicism in Christians toward all tithing. Further, misuse of col
