8月16日 SUNDAY Well the day is over now but it was another of those glorious days that the Lord send to His own. i didn't make it to church today, had the grand kids with us for the weekend, but i did get to talk to others about Jesus and that's always a good thing.
Some would like to make you feel as if you have done something so wrong when you don't make it to Church, but i am always in the midst of Gods' people and i always tell others of the good news of the gospel of Christ. Sunday is not the only day that i take the time to praise the Lord, or worship Him. For me, everyday is a good day to tell some one about Jesus. i didn't get out of the house today, but i talked to three people on the phone about the Lord.
One of thosee who i talked to asked me about Jesus while on the cross calling to God asking Him why he had forsaken Him. His question was this: Why is it that all through out Jesus ministry, he referred to God as his Father, but when he was on the cross He called Him God? We came up with opinions, but if there is anyone out there who can give me Biblical truths to pass on to him i would appreciated it.
Another of the callers was talking about the need for us to really go by the plan that God has laid out for His children to follow. One of teh things that came up in this conversation is the fact that out of all the people who were living in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah there was only one person that was righteous. Stranger than that, however, is the fact that out of all the people in the world during the time of the flood, there was only eight people who was righteous! Out of all the people in the world at that time, only eight people were deemed righteous by God! His thought was this: How is it that there was a time when, out of all the people in the world , there were only eight that was righteous can we be so cavalier in our thinking that so many of us can be saved even though we are living no better than some of those people. The thought being this: Not every one of those people were such unholy sinners, some of those people were just ordinary people who didn't commit adultry or fornicate, their fault was that they saw no need to heed the word of God as it was spoken to them by the man of God!
Jesus saith: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:14 So tell me how is it that we can think that all of us, who are good in our own eyes, are heaven bound? In a city of a few hundred thousand? only one man was found to be just, and in the world at that time, and i haven't found any estimates of how many people was on the earth at the time, there was only eight; tell me how can all these people who have clearly died out of the will of God, be heaven bound? Why do we always say that someone who died under questionalbe spiritual circumstanes are in a better place? i wonder, and if there is anyone out there who care to talk to me about this, give be a hit.
Finally, i talked to a church member for about an hour about the good news of the Gospel of Jesus and we enjoyed the fellowship and the sweet communion of the Holy Spirit! Just because i didn't make it to the church building does not mean that i didn't make it to church. i church everyday! Life lived for Jesus is awesome!
Love
Bro.ken 8月5日 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARCUS Today is my oldest sons' birthday. He is twenty four. i remember when he was first born, after the nurse gave him to Phyllis and she was done counting his fingers and toes, she gave him to me and i held him for four hours until the nurses came and pried him from my hands. This was one of the happiest days of my life, Phyllis and i had two miscarriages before Marcus made it, and times were tense. She had a hard pregmcamcy and she had to be off of her feet a lot doing this pregnancy, and there were times when she would go all day without feeling any movement from im and she would call me at work and tell me that something didn't seem right; but when i got home i would put my hand on her stomach and talk to him and he would start kicking and stretching out. Then i would tell Phyllis that he didn't like being called Raven- Phyllis name for her girl which she thought Marcus was going to be. We would go back and forth over whether the baby was a boy or girl until one night i had a dream and woke up and told Phyllis that this one would be a boy, and then i discribe him to her, and he came out looking just like i told her he would look.Needless to say he came out as a daddys' boy.
Whenever i was down in life he would always sense it and come over and hug me or just start talkiing and my spirits would be lifted up. i was so happy to finally have my son, and now he is a married man with his own spitting image, but a girl and now he is twenty- four and so much different from what his daughter is who, by the way, is named Raven! He love his moms' too. Happy birthday son, and like i've always told you and your brothers, i love you because you are mine not because of what you are or may become. Continue to take your time and learn the lessons of dad and believe in Jesus and everything will work out for you,
love,
Dad |
