GLORIFY HIM
1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
I wonder and many times know that I miss the mark,
But I have a friend that is willing and waiting to forgive
And for me to return to glorifying Him
In all that I do, and say with my fellow man.
You have been been given a special gift by God
In fact you have been given many gifts by Him
When you use them to bring God glory,
They will bring you satisfaction and joy
The gifts we offer back to the Lord
Are special and sweet in the eyes of God
But they are measured by His standards
Is your life a sacrifice of praise to the Lord
Such gifts are highly treasured by your God
After all, we were created to give God the glory.
For He is the one that is Holy and pure
And this is some of the gifts He has passed on to you.
So as you come before Him today on bended knee
And with a thankful heart of praise
Glorify His name, the name above all names
He is Jesus, Jesus Christ our Lord.

ALWAYS FAITHFUL
I Have Fought And He Was Faithful
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. —2 Timothy 4:7 He looked forward to an eternal crown (v.8).
Each day as I walk with God, I praise Him for His faithfulness, as I face each of life's battles, whether I win or lose I can count on Him.
I can always count on God, I know He cares for me
For He is my heavenly Father, and He is always there
He never changes; He always is the same for me
I know I can be sure, I will never have to ask, Are You there?
Yesterday, He was there and walked beside me
Today, He met me as I awoke to start a new day
Forever, He is faithful, He will watch over me all the way home.
I know He loves me, praise His holy name!
In every situation He will be faithful always
When I stumble and fall, He offers me His hand
Helping me up, once again to stand before Him
And to walk beside Him as He leads me.
To God be the GLORY

Called To Greatness - Secrets 4 and 5
#4 Secret
Learning To Do What Makes God Happy
A new believers relationship with God is no different than any other love relationship. You want to do things that make that person happy, and you want to stop doing things that make that person sad.
Jesus put it this way, 'If you love me, you will obey what I command.” (John 14:15) One of the secrets of a great relationship is to begin changing things in your life based on what pleases or displeases the one who loves you most.
As the new born
-reads God's word
talks to Him as a friend
and spends time with His friends
They will start to understand and know what pleases God
Then they will also begin to understand what it means to become a new creation in Christ. In (2 Cor. 5:17) God tells us this.
Exercise – Finish this sentence- One thing I think Jesus would like to change in me is .................?
Then encourage them to talk to God each morning and turn that part of their life over to Him, and let Him have control of it.
Get them to bring the card to your next meeting for discussion purposes.
Secret #5
Talk About Him
Share your testimony of what He (Jesus) has done for you with someone else every day for the next week. Tell them what has happened in your life. Sharing this will make you stronger in your walk with Him. You will never forget what Jesus done for you if you share it with someone often.
Pray asking God to open a natural opportunity for this action to take place. Praying that prayer every day expecting God to answer. Then discuss the results the next time you meet.

Rotten To The Core
Appletons Rotten To The Core
Romans 3:10–11 As it is written:“There is none righteous, no, not one;
There is none who understands;There is none who seeks after God.
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
—apart from Christ, we’re all rotten to the core.
Jesus Christ has come to people “rotten to the core,
And makes us “a new creation” by faith in Him
In His goodness, He has fixed our problem completely
All the way down to our core. In our heart of hearts
I know I’m a sinner, I know I have done wrong
I need a Savior and Christ met my need;
His death paid the price for He ransomed me
His work is sufficient, when on Him I believe;
I have life eternal when Him I receive
He gives me a brand new start, but I need more
I need to change from the inside out
I need a new heart of hearts.
If my old heart is ROTTEN to the core,
then I need a HEART TRANSPLANT

Lost But Not Forgotten
HELPLESSLY LOST
Romans 5:6 Look at it this way: At the right time, while we were still helpless, Christ died for ungodly people.
When your life seems to have ended at the end of the road
There seems to be no way to turn, to the left or the right
And for sure you cannot turn around and go back
Look up, you are not without hope, have faith in God
For it is because of the wonderful grace of God.
That we have hope when facing trouble
When it seeks to rob you of your very last breath,
Look up for your redemption drawth nigh
When tragedy hits hard taking your breath away
Trying to steal your joys away and messing up your days
Just remember Christ died on the cross for you
So that you might have life more abundantly, claim it, it is yours.
He gives us hope, when things are hopeless
He deserves all of our praise, for He loves us
When we are unlovable, and undeserving of His grace
We have done nothing and can do nothing to return it.
All He asks is for us to BELIEVE and FOLLOW Him

When You Are Trusted With A Cadillac
When you are trusted with a Cadillac prove yourself trustworthy. One of God's newborn babies is such, and that is what makes our care for one of them so vitally important. God has nothing more valuable to trust to His followers than a new believer in His son.
The primary responsibility for the care of someone who has just been born into God's family rests with the person God used to help "Deliver THE BABY"
1 Thess. 2:8, 19-20 Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? Indeed, you are our glory and joy.
When you help someone you care about, "receive Him" and become a child of God (John 1:12), you have, in a sense, served as a spiritual Obstetrician, delivering a baby into God's family. At that point, your mission changes to that of a spiritual Pediatrician, helping the newborn get off to a strong and healthy start in Christ.
We need to help them learn about Jesus by doing things with Jesus
Learn it, do it, and talk about it
I want to talk about five SECRETS of A Great Relationship With God.
I mentioned number one and two earlier in my blogging and now I want to go on to 3-5
Enjoy and learn as you read

Heavens Gates
Walking On Cloud Nine
Psalm 71:20 You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,Shall revive me again, And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
I look forward to the day when I will stand just inside heavens gates
And look back over my life, and see all of the storms I have weathered
All of the mountains I have climbed and the heartaches I have endured.
Then I will know and understand why it all happened
And will see the true love of my Father, in allowing it all to be
A part of my earthly life, and why it all had to be a part of me.
For then my labors and trials will be no more, forever
For I will be safe inside heavens door
Forever to be at my Savors side, bathing in blessing galore
With heaven before me and the world behind me
I have nothing more to wonder about, for now I see
As I have never seen before, as I stand looking out of heavens door
God has taken away all of my fear, and I will have peace
When He has wiped away all of my tears, I will cry no more
I will have unending joy and my sorrows will end
I will break into song and sing like I have never sang before.
This, all of this can be yours as well,
Make a choice to follow Him, the rest of your life
And claim the promises of Christ as your own
You are assured that you will never again walk alone.
