April 11th 2017 / LEFTOVERS

I am an extremely picky eater and so it is no surprise I rarely enjoy leftovers. Some people enjoy leftovers all the time but I am not one of them. Leftovers are used at times when we are too lazy to prepare and cook a fresh meal. I find even though I do not like a leftover food I at times give God leftover time, commitment, and love. I indeed get too lazy to spend more time in His Holy Word. At times I do not want to prepare a teaching lesson or write a blog of inspiration so I give God a leftover of commitment. A very short and trite prayer is another leftover of love I give God. Yes, it is human nature not to always be on top of our game but may we make an extra effort for our dear Savior to prepare a warm and inviting heart for Him to enjoy and not a cold leftover heart of lukewarm apathy for our Savior and His Kingdom.

Romans 12:11Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

11 Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord.

Revelation 3:16New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 So because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.

Prayer: O'Lord, help me not to always serve you the leftovers of my heart, in Jesus name, amen.

POISONING THE FRUITS OF THE HOLY BIBLE

The Holy Bible has many beautiful truths within its pages and the most wonderful story in the world of how a loving and gracious God came from Heaven to Earth to save us from sin and ourselves. What I have seen that saddens my heart is when men and women distort the Bible's precious truths. Sometimes they play mental gymnastics with a rubicon of verses to put together their own view of a topic and make the Bible appear to support their side. Both the liberal and conservative Christians do it and even those who are not even believers play this game. People who want all answers to life and faith but only from the Bible are some of the most toxic and unhappy people I know. Where is their Christlike love? Jesus dealt with this kind of mindset in his mortal time on earth and they were called Pharisees. We must be willing to take the Bible as it is written and what the writers led by the Holy Spirit meant. We must be authentic and transparent. Some things in the Bible are uncomfortabl

WHAT VOICES ARE YOU LISTENING TO?

Since the internet entered our homes and social media dominates the culture of the world we as a human race have rapidly lost our humanity in many ways. People are so vicious to one another and it is so sad to see how narcissistic we have become as a species. I am often balancing what I read and what I listen to so I do not become toxic and filled with false understandings and beliefs. So it is very important to consider just what voices you are listening to and what voices are you reading. What is the mindset of the people, shows, and music you are allowing into your life? We need to be more alert to not allowing trash into our minds, ears, and eyes. Let us not become a landfill for society's useless trash. If you let garbage in soon it will be garbage out. What is most in your heart will eventually come out the mouth both spoken and written. Matthew 15:18-20

ELECTION YEAR 2024! OH BOY!

Yes, folks, it is an election year and of course, both parties believe they are going to save the world. Sorry, but Jesus Christ already did that some 2000 years ago. Now the other fun fact about this is every election year it is a Chicken Little story all over again, which is the sky is falling if the Republicans get into office, and the sky is falling if the Democrats get into office. This reminds me of how news on the weather is nowadays. There will be one inch of snow coming which is the great white death from above so stock up on everything. The exaggeration from political parties and the news is absolutely off the charts in this day and age. Gone are the Walter Cronkite and Tom Brokaw days of newscasting. Social media can be used for good and even to spread the gospel message but also it can perpetuate lies and deceit. I hope it is used more responsibly than what I have been witnessing. So back to politics and voting, I would say do your best to try and find reliable informati
