Cootchie, cootchie, cootchie-coo, God loves me and God loves you! Smile sinner, don’t be sad; God’s not angry; He’s not mad. Even when you leave the path, There’s no hell and there’s no wrath. So don’t you fear, just do your best. The Judgment Seat won’t be that tough. For you can’t sin away His grace Or take that smile from His face. ’Cause God is love and love is good: He’ll treat you like you think He should! Just trust me, sinner, to the end. My name is Satan, I’m your friend. ______________________________ Michael L. Brown/ Excerpt From Article

Going Not knowing?

Published by

Apparently, the experts on all thing ‘Men’ say that men find it difficult to ask for directions – especially when they are lost driving the wife or family to a very important meeting, a vacation destination or anywhere for that matter. I don’t really know if it is a man thing, but some suggest that men feel less manly asking for directions. I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t bother me at all, to stop at a gas station and just simply ask for help. I rather do that than drive around wearing my ego on my shoulder acting as if I know where I am going. Fortunately, technology has given us Garmin, Magellin, Furuno, TomTom, iCOM, Lowrance, RayMarinem DeLorme GPS devices to help us navigate around and be able to reach our destination and not get lost. These devices also assure us that no matter where you are,  if you miss your turn, you can rest assured that your device is going to recalculate your place to set you right back on track. You will hear that …

Building Blocks of Faith

Published by

JUDE But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt;  save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh Jude 1:20-22  Prayer in the Spirit keep yourselves in the Love of God waiting the second coming show mercy toward doubters snatch others form the fire hate sin rely on God’s power Please let me share a few words base on this outline: Prayer in the Spirit is God’s call to take our prayer to another level. I believe that prayer in the Spirit, is the highest level of prayer you can ever reach. It is the Spirit of the Lord praying through you with “groans that word cannot express.” Those times when we know not what to pray for, the Spirit of God intercedes on our behalf. We are also told by …

I fell in love for the first time in the sixth grade. He was an “older man.” A whopping fourteen. Two years later, he noticed me. The awkward middle schooler was growing up. We wrote letters over a summer while he was in Arkansas—real, hand-written letters. We didn’t have facebook. We didn’t talk on the phone. I used to go on walks. I’d put my cocker spaniel on a leash, and we’d go. And I’d think. I’d think about him. I was scared. No boy had ever noticed me before. I also thought about emotions. Why did we have to have them? I had air to breathe and food to eat. Why, then, did I have to feel this way? It’s a question I still haven’t answered. B.B. King has had it all. He’s had success and fame, and, at 87, he’s still doing what he loves. But there’s a quote I didn’t mention in my first post. “I’ve been married twice. Most women would rather not be married to a…

Fearfully and wonderfully made

Published by

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Psalm 139:13-15 And God saw everything that He had made and behold it was very good. Gen. 1:31 If the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” was really true, there will be no one in our world struggling with low self-esteem, insecurities and inferiority complex. There will be no deaths because of the words bullies use to hurt and intimidate people. Words are powerful. They can make or break you. Proverbs says, there is “life and death in the power of the tongue.” And James says, “the tongue is a fire, a restless evil full of deadly poison.” If you grew up hearing your parents, close friends  or bullies calling you damaged …

Weird Things on the ‘Bible Set’

Jesus says, ‘The Holy Spirit is like the wind.’ At that moment, a wind, like as if a 747 was taking off, blew his hair, almost blew the set over and sustained for 20 seconds across the desert, and the actors didn’t break — they kept going. And everything stopped. Everyone just looked at everyone like, ‘What just happened?’”

the Lord of host is His Name,

The Lord rules the angels, the stars, the elements, and all the hosts of Heaven; and the Heaven of heavens is under His sway… [the Lord] is on our side — our august Ally; woe unto those who fight against Him, for they shall flee like smoke before the wind when He gives the word to scatter them. C. H. Spurgeon The Lord of hosts, Jehovah Sabaoth is the Name of God we find in the Scripture when a men or women find themselves at their wit’s end. Jehovah Sabaoth is the Strong Tower, a place we can run to in times when we are weak, powerless or when our resources are inadequate. When there is no other help, it is especially at this times that one can appreciate that God is truly the Lord of Host. Jacob, when he was left alone and at the mercy of his brother’s wrath wrestled with God and demanded a blessing, saying, “I will not let you go until you bless me.” Gen. 32:26 Hannah, faced with impossible …

She fights for her life and nobody knows

Published by

Okay, I was on Google+ last nigh and I came across this wonderful animated stop motion video posted by Christopher Michel. It was the most creative thing I’ve seen in a while. I must confess that I’m not familiar with stop motion that much, so I obsessed with it for a while, sending it to a few people. I wanted to post it on my blog but I didn’t know who was singing and what the song was. I am kind of dogmatic sometimes about – what I call “worldly music.” Anyways, since I watched the thing for more than a million times :0 I couldn’t help but think about this line – “she fights for her life and nobody knows.” That kind of hit me. How many times do we meet people who are going through difficult times and we fail to go deeper, beyond the smiles, the fancy cloths, nice shoes and great makeup? Or, how many times we carry stuff, and instead of getting real and vulnerable, we hide behind a mask. …
