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.

Above Or Below The Line
Above Or Below The Line
Matthew 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
The Lambs book of Life,
This list does exist, I am not sure what it will look like, but our names are all written down in the Lambs book of life. Not sure how it will look, but it could look like this maybe.
A large board listing the names of every one on earth was posted outside of heavens gates, including their status in Society. As I looked for my name I noticed a line across the board dividing the names. Above the line were the names of those who were “saved”, born again, followers of Christ and below the line all those who were “lost those who had never made the decision to follow Christ.” At the very top was the word Heaven, and at the top of the bottom half was the word Hell. That got my attention. Where was my Name, wow there it is above the line. But I asked my self, where is so and so, is he there or is she. Will my friends make it because of me? What am I going to do about it?
It’s not what I achieve on this earth, that qualifies me for heaven,
It matters not if I am rich or poor; skinny or fat, good looking or ugly
The only thing I must be certain of, is my faith in the right place?
“Have I put my faith and trust in the only one that can determine
Where I spend eternity, Jesus’ is the one, He is the only one
Jesus said," I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me."(John 14: 6) I must follow Him!
In light of eternity, How are you living your life, ABOVE OR BELOW THE LINE??????????

HIS LOVE
HIS LOVE
Isaiah 49:15 (Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.)
God will not forget you, you are His child
He has promised to never leave you nor to forsake you
He will be there for you every waking hour
And watching over you while you are sleeping
He will be there to meet your every need
He will always take good care of you
Loving you at where ever you are in your walk with Him
You do the following and He will do the keeping
;
His compassion is without end, forever
His love and care is forever and forever
You can depend on Him through all of earths trials
Even when you are unaware, Jesus love is there
How much does He love us, can we really know?
God’s love for us is expansive,
As far as the East is from the West
He beckons you to come into His love
For His loving arms are open and waiting for you to come
As His open arms on the cross said, I forgive you
Come to the foot of the cross and lay your burden down
Come, Come, be my child and let me watch over you.

Don't Hold A Grudge
Colossians 3:12-14\
(Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.)
Don't Hold On To A Grudge
Arguments and disagreements can lead to grudges,
That leave hurts, that seem to be unrepairable
Yet God calls for us to have a compassionate heart
With love applied we can make compassion a work of art
Grudges left unattended, will cause a rift in the road
Causing a lots of rough rides along the way
God says be kind, love your enemy, and forgive a soul
When we do this our way grows smother and we become more whole
So in order to bring resolution, one must become humble and meek
Setting the example for others that may be sickly and weak
Growing in patients and excepting the one causing you grief
Find forgiveness and then dig real deep finding relief
Family and friends are important in life, relationships a must
So forgive as the Lord has forgiven you, letting the past go
And make the best of the future, building on the good
Our relationships won’t drift, and we will be more understood
When one is not feeling good, because of holding a grudge
In fact one is really sick and tired of the whole thing
Just remember, don't go to the Dr. or call a nurse
Because a grudge is one thing that doesn’t get better when it’s nursed.
Have a good day, and save a relationship by swallowing your pride and forgiving a brother/sister. Be humble and walk with God in LOVE

from The Heart
(Ps. 50:9-10)
“I will not take a bull from your house, nor goats out of your folds. For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills”. What He wanted was their praise and obedience (v.23).
From The Heart
May my worship to my Lord
Be with praise that comes from the heart,
From a heart surrendered to following Him
His ways are true and good, I offer Him praise
May my praise be a worthy offering to You Lord
May it overflow from a heart that is whole
An offering of unconditional love may raise
From deep down within my heart I praise
For Your blessings from above, are mine
You own the cattle on a thousand hills
All that is yours is mine, my heart you see
For you want my praise, and the best for me
At the heart of my worship and praise
Is worship that comes from my heart
For I know the world moves at Your command
For you own every country and land
You want all of me, in every way
Not only my worship, but my everything
All that I am I give to you, my Lord
To be away from you forever I cannot afford.
The heart of worship comes from the heart of hearts
It comes from deep, deep down with in the soul
As I come to Him in all I do
May all and everything I do be only for YOU
My LORD
By Peter C. Salmond
So often when we go to church, we go expecting to be blessed, (entertained as we sit in the pew). When our main reason for going to church should be to bring thanksgiving and praise to the ONE that gave us His all . Because of us worshiping and praising Him we will be blessed and we will be strengthened by fellow believers. Because God blesses those that are obedient to Him.
But the reason we come is to worship Him. We should leave the church asking ourselves not “What did I get out of it?” but rather “Was God pleased with what happened?” Was He please with my worship? What was my attitude towards God and others while sitting in church? Was I there to please God, or to gain the respect and praise from others?
The Bible encourages us, not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching. This does not mean just on Sunday morning. This means not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. We need each other all the time. There is strength in numbers.
Every day is a spiritual war out there in the world, we are to be separate from the world and yet we are to be part of the world. The Lord says, "Get away from unbelievers. Separate yourselves from them. Have nothing to do with anything unclean. Then I will welcome you." (2 Cor. 6:17) We need to be in the world, but not doing worldly things. Others need to see that Jesus has made us different in every way and in everything we do.
When you get up in the morning are you prepared for war? Eph. 6: 12 say, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." So I ask again, Are you ready for war?
Verse 13 continues , Therefore- and goes on to say prepare for war, put on the armor of God and go ye into all the world and preach the gospel. Turn to Eph. 6 and read it all from verses 10-20 and see for yourself. If we are not standing with God in this war then we are standing against Him, and we are then fighting a loosing battle, because He has already won the battle over sin and the devil all we have to do is follow Him, he will protect us and He promises us eternal life. When we come to the end of the race of life and we have followed Him and His word, we will cross the finish line and we will win.
All praise and honor and worship will be His forever and ever Amen.
