Unity

When trouble overruns the community or tragedy strikes unexpectedly, people tend to clump together physically and spiritually. The ongoing Corona Virus pandemic and nine-eleven are two good examples. There is strength in numbers and solace in mental dependence. However, these traits are superficial and temporary. As sorrows pass, time dulls the edge on anxiety, and normal self-contentedness returns with a splash. Though God is mentioned in these dark days it is from the mouth and not the heart. In Psalms 119:165 God’s word states: “Great peace have they which love thy law and nothing shall offend them.”

There are a few who believe in God’s words and adhere to them faithfully. Some believe only certain scriptures and reject others. Some depend on God’s promises with reservations and wavering faith. But, some believe with all their soul, heart, and being.

Let me tell you that God’s promises are firm, infallible, and eternal. It has been refined in the fire of the spirit as a silversmith purifies silver and gold. God’s word means exactly what it says. There is no room for doubt.

Do you not find it strange that, in times of trouble, many trust each other but doubt the word of God? We tune into exaggerated reports of mortals as though it is gospel truth. We make decisions on the weak and fabricated facts of the news media and shy away from God and His mighty knowledge and strength. No greater peace can be drawn from worldly shining days than that we get from God’s Holy Word. If we walk by faith and believe without wavering that He means exactly what He says, there is peace and joy unspeakable. Go to His Word and seek out His promises and dwell in them.

 Mark 12:30  “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

 Luke 10:27 “...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

 Mark 12:33 "And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. “

To know God is to love Him. If you do not enjoy a personal relationship with Him: Romans 10:9 “...if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” 

 Matthew 6:21 “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” 

Know God, know peace. Amen 06/05/21 BL

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 ...
