GOOD-BYE 2009

Dearest Lord Jesus,

I wish to thank you for saving my soul from eternal damnation; thank you for coming into my life...

For now, you LIVE IN MY HEART!

Though it was only 9 short months ago it feels like it was just yesterday, that I heard the voice of The Holy Spirit for the very first time. It was sweeter to my soul than chocolate is to the tongue. You delivered me from cocaine...from lifelong depression and generational sin...from a failing marriage...a broken… Continue

Your Life.....

I want to share a familiar text with you.

Mat 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Without trying to prejudice your understanding, I would ask you, what does this verse mean to you. I charge you to spend a few moments contemplating what Jesus is saying here. They I would appreciate your valued comments and exposition if you will. Thank you.

“Have we been misled?”

“Have we been misled?”

2Co 6:1 And working together with Him, we also urge that you not receive the grace of God in vain.

2Co 6:2 For He says: "In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you." Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

2Co 6:3 We give no occasion for offense in anything, lest the ministry be blamed,

2Co 6:4 but in everything commending ourselves as ministers of… Continue

Cleaning out old animosity

I hope all sufferers of any description that may plague us had moments of spiritual realization or are still hopeful to accept that the Lord is with you.

This is a bit of a lame post in regards to all serious problems experienced by so many.

I had a choice to remain lonely, to be without friends, to be the self suffering feeling sorry for myself type of individual, to remain apart OR do something that God would say should be a necessary step in self reformation and to… Continue

A gloomy christmas

Why is this christmas so gloomy? I wonder if its still "joy to the world ". But I still don't understand why I would lose my dad few days to christmas. Like that wasn't enough . Now I wonder why my friend, whom I call my baby brother, lose his mother on a christmas night. I mean few hours ago. Where does my consolation come from ? Though I strongly refuse to ask God why, I still believe it's not his will. But then it's well with my soul.

Have a JOYFUL Christmas to all ...

JOY comes by putting Jesus first, Others second, and Yourself last.

Everyone wants to enjoy life. Many people place the source of their joy in what they own, in their reputation, in their status, or in other worldly things. Yet, all of those things are unstable and can easily evaporate, taking joy with them. In the end, we… Continue

RAMBLING: JOY TO THE WORLD

As the Christ child lay contently asleep in the feeding manager and as shepherds gathered around to gaze in wonder upon this child sent by God and announced by angels. How appropriate that shepherds and their sheep gathered around this Wonder that lay wrapped in his swaddling cloths for this innocent and divine Child would become the Shepherd of shepherds seeking His sheep in life's wilderness. Many would respond to His call and follow Him as He led them to the waters of eternal life, to feed… Continue

The True Meaning of Christmas

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14

When Jesus was born, only a few people realized He was more than a typical infant. The same is true today. Many people attend Christmas Eve services and observe holiday traditions but fail to consider three important questions:

Was Jesus really God?

Why did He come to earth?

What does this have to do… Continue

How do we celebrate Christmas? Are you seeking God's presence or His presents?

To Christians, Christmas and Easter are the two most important days of the year. One commemorates the birth of Christ; the other remembers His death and resurrection. In order to honor the meaning of Christmas, many Christians decorate with Nativity scenes.

Every year in December we celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. That is why we call this time of year 'Christmas' - we celebrate the 'Mass', or church service, for Christ. The word Christmas (or Christ's Mass) comes from the Old… Continue
