Humble yourselves

1 Peter 5: 6
Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
so that he may exalt you in due time.

All God's children

Church going isn't enough!

All God's children should know they are redeemed.

• bought with a price
• bought for a purpose
  

They should also know God's deliverance from evil.

• understanding more and more what God has done in their lives
• fully knowing the extent of his handiwork in transforming a sinful heart

Years ago the LORD awoke me from slumber and spoke with a loud booming voice, "You think you're lucky but it brings death."

I knew what I had to do. I had to give up this notion of luck (good luck, bad luck, etc). I had to destroy childhood leprechauns.

The truth is Jesus saves. I can't ever save myself.

He delivers me from evil. He delivers me over and over again (from before the crib to after the grave).

My God is GREAT!

I would be hard pressed to name all the wonders he has done in my life because the list is so long.

WOW! Isaiah 43 He makes a way for his people.

R. Emanuel Exposed

A good basketball player knows to look at the opponent's belly and not their smile.

Therefore, s.imply s.poken, I see a naked man exposed.

His gut-level ruthlessness gives him away and reveals which direction he is going.

"R. Emanuel" is anti-christ in thought, word and deed;
but the MOST HIGH God speaks a better word:
JESUS, our Emmanuel

comes down from heaven
and gives LIFE to the world.

Therefore, I must confess my own sin (silently before God) and profess my faith (aloud to God and man).

• Jesus Christ gives life.
• He is the author of LIFE.
• He does not take the life of another.
• Jesus lays it down so that another may live.

Precious Jesus help us to truly love, pray and forgive our brother Rahm. Bring life to him and to our nation once again.

Do uSee what iSee? Obama can’t.

Obama can’t see past his “own glory” in the spotlight. He thinks he’ll earn an ‘A’ for ramming the S.S. (Slaughter Solution) through a temporal problem of ice-o-lated resistance. However, an ordinary citizen who stands for truth knows that ‘A’ is for abortion.

Furthermore, we the ordinary citizens of these United States understand what is true: Our current captain, his officers, and the ruling class have taken on the same mindset as those embodied (and now entombed) in the Titantic rubble. They are over-confident, unaware, and believers of the lie called “unsinkable.”

Rather than engaging in good decision making and sticking to conventional wisdom, we see lawmakers promoting a false hope. Instead of taking ordinary and precautionary measures to insure success, we see an abundance of undue pressure and effort expended in order to make reasoning men cave. This makes the whole lot of them akin to groupthink caricatures.

The warning is clear. Let’s turn from sudden and imminent destruction. Relying on a broken moral compass is simply bad navigation. Continuing along this stream of lukewarm elitism is treacherous water. Surely there is a mountain of people whose hidden cries in the womb have been heard and their pleas for justice shall not go unanswered.

Thus the continuing S.ensless S.laughter of innocent life will break the G.rand S.olidarity of the U.nited S.tates apart. It brings death to a nation.

Without vision
the people will perish.

Our Christian Heritage

The heritage of the saints is no small matter. It is truly great.

Although we may be called to good in the seemingly little (like give a cup of water), we are called to do great feats as ambassadors of Christ - we represent the King of Kings, we speak on his behalf, we offer his hospitality, we model his way of love, and we stand for his government here on earth. We are to bring the good news, not simply good intentions, whereever we place our feet; whether this be at home or on foreign soil.

So good intentions are not enough. We must be faithful to the task. . . in the little and in the knowing of the greatness of our God and of his Kingdom.

WARNING: There is a coming judgment of the Nations !

Matthew 25: 31 - 46
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at his right hand, 'Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.' Then he will say tho those at his left hand, 'You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' Then they also will answer, 'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?' Then he will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

To which kingdom do you belong? God's or the world. Sheep or the goats. On the right hand of God or the left. Blessed or accursed. Those who do or those who don't (incl. those with some good intentions).

This teaching is hard!
. . . so iMustAsk myself about today:

am I offering the excuse I meant to call you?

Sacred Echo

What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light;
and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops.
Matthew 10: 27

• Are you listening for God's voice?

• Are you speaking ALOUD His Spoken Word to you?

This is why I chirp from the housetop: to proclaim the glory of the King; to make known his commandments. I rejoice at the sound of his voice.
