Calling God

TO THOSE CALLED TO BE SAINTS:

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our
Cell phones?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we flipped through it several times a day?

What if we used it to receive messages from the 'text'?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it as we trav eled?

What if we used it in case of an emergency?



What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?

This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible?



In Christ alone,

My Understanding

Companion (BIBLE)

Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God,
I pray to you that you abundantly Bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all Who believe and trust in you.
I thank you in advance for your blessings. Father, deliver the person reading this right now and those who will read it in the near future from debt and debt burdens. Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty You are and how if we just obey You and walk in Your word and have the faith of a Mustard seed that You will pour out blessings. I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come Because I know You are not done with me yet.

And thank you for the pictures that I can share and the witnesses who have gone before who can point the way home to you!

Is that a cannon in your pocket or are you just glad to see me" Mae West use to say Or at least words to that effect.

I watched a television program the other night and a comment was made that makes me wonder why Christians don't get along with other Christians? There are a lot of reasons , I mean if you ever had to share a room with a brother (younger or older or a sister who would quite willingly hog the toilet (you Americans say bathroom) you'd know what I am talking about.

A Protestant preacher once ask my father "Do you believe the Bible" to which my father( a convert to the Roman Catholic Church) "who you think had it for the first 300 years?" [meaning the Catholic church] Catholic by the way comes from the Greek meaning universal.

But I digress the person on the program made a statement that went like this:

"the faith of the church was not base on the Bible, the Bible was based on the faith of the Church; a church that looked annoyingly Catholic"

Sometimes a quote sounds so good but does that make it true?

If you were to believe that statement then all of us Protestants could just wrap ourselves up in the Roman Catholic Church (go to sleep and give up the Bible as they'll tell you what to believe and what the Bible teaches) Now before all of my Catholic Brethren go to the Pope and tell them I've been a bad boy. I want you to know that I am not an anti Catholic bigot

Sometimes I wish names like Catholic weren’t associated with certain churches. Since Catholic means Universal we all in a sense belong to the Universal [Catholic church] That's the one that Jesus Christ founded the one the Apostle Paul wrote about when he wrote.

" And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. ....There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

I really wanted to start as church and call it the Church of Jesus Christ of later day saints but that name was already taken!

Now then, back to this idea that "which came first the chicken or the egg?"

My Catholic brethren want to claim for themselves the soul privilege of having the word of God [you my call it the Bible, gentle Reader, if that fact that the bible just could be the Word of God (you mean to tell me the the Bible is a letter from God Denis?) B.I.B.L.E. [Basic instructions before leaving earth]

Wow did I get off the subject or what? Lets jump back on. "STUDY to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Tim 2:15

How are you going to study if you don't have a book? And what book did the 1st century Christians have well before the New testament was written down all we had was [fan fair please] the Hebrew writings (which we call the Old testament) Oops! I guess the dear Catholic brethren forgot about that! So can we go further back than before there was time to find the writings of the Bible

We could look as Genesis Chapter 1 where we read " Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light." And we run right smack into the "Big Bang " (some call it a theory, I call it creation!) {evolution is a theory, but if the scientific community wants to call it fact let them I mean how would it look to see 1000's of people standing on street corners holding up little signs that read "Have theory will work for food"}

Oh my where has the time gone and I haven't really got started on my subject "Have gun will travel"!

Well Gentle Reader, you just have to come back tomorrow To find out if we really have a Big Bang, or if there really is just one Bible or Is the Bible really the Word of God? Or is there a God? or will you end up being a monkeys uncle

Until that time just remember what Doc always says....

You are appreciated, you are valued, you are loved by God and me.

What do you believe?

Atheists



The struggle that comes from the Atheists in America as they resent public expressions of faith in God, since the attack on the World Trade Center twin towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 that stirred a groundswell of remarks in government circles about God, and the sudden expression of patriotism and "God bless America" statements by so many citizens of America.



We have for so many years bowed to their feelings of antagonism against any public expression of our faith, but now that the Attack has come and Christians are freely expressing their faith, the hate toward God is coming out in force.



I say to the Atheists, that as they have for so long felt compelled to demand that we as Christians must quietly show great tolerance and respect for their expressions of their religious belief that there is no God, so now I ask them to show the same quiet tolerance for our right to express our religious belief that there is a God.



To the Atheist, Now also is a good time to suggest that you might reconsider your position of belief. Reexamine the evidence, and reconsider the risk pertaining to the end result.



Just looking at it from a gambler's standpoint, it makes sense to consider the subject worthy of careful evaluation.



For instance, If you are right and there is no God, then the risk for myself is minimal.

Ø My life has been a very good life full of Love in my heart, Peace in my spirit, Joy in my soul, Contentment in my station in life, Loving relationship in my family life, Praise toward God, Hope for a bright future eternal life experience, and Confidence that it is all worth while, both in the good life experiences and the bad life experiences, knowing that God has said that "All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

Ø If I die and there is no God, then the only thing that I loose is life itself, and I will be nonexistent and will be aware of nothing at all, since I will be dead and that is the end of the matter.



On the other hand, if you are wrong and I am right, and there really is a God Who has revealed Himself to mankind throughout the ages giving evidence after evidence of His existence, revealing His will for mankind, and expressing His intentions toward us for the present and for all eternity, and showing us the eternal destiny He has established.

Ø Then there is certainly a just cause for me to call your attention to the fact that it is certainly wise to consider the evidence, and the risk toward the destiny of your eternal soul.

Ø Your position is precarious at best, and I can understand why you are troubled by the Christians reference to God since you don't know Him.



What evidence do you have that has convinced you beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is no God? You need to be absolutely certain, because the cost is too great to risk being wrong.



There is a Heaven to gain in hope, and a Hell to shun in fear. In His great love for you, God has revealed the truth of the matter to all of mankind in creation and it is recorded in His Word the Bible.



God not only told us the truth of the matter, but He also provided the answer for our problem in our lack of knowledge and unbelief. He has solved the dilemma in which we find ourselves in this life which includes the penalty for our sins. He Himself has made it possible to do what is impossible for any of us to do, and that is the undoing of our errors and sins. That answer is provided to us in the person of Jesus Christ Who died and provided the blood that God uses to cover our sins and to impute His righteousness to the record of our lives. That gives us hope and confidence to stand before Him on the Day of Judgment that will precede the time of Peace on Earth and the Glorious Eternity in His presence.



The advantages of being a Christian are too compelling to ignore and well worth looking into. Then you too may find peace of mind and peace with the world around you. Then others expression of their beliefs will not be troubling to you because you will understand where it comes from and where it is taking them in the end. You will also see the need to share your faith with others so they may also find the same good life and confident peace of spirit no matter what comes their way. It is nice to have fellowship in the community with others of like precious faith.

You have mail

"War is not 'the best way of settling differences; it is the only way of preventing their being settled for you." "The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people." - - IL
What Kind of mail do you get? Here is a sample of just a few of the hundreds of e mails I get and what your up against . It doesn't make any difference to some who you are but what you are! We pray for all people of the world, male, female, rich and poor, gay or straight Christian or non-Christian. God doesn't play favorites He loves each of you and wants you to be happy and rest in Him. If you have a better answer that Peace and the Prince of Peace let me know.

Shalom Dennis -
We greet you in the wonderful Name of our Messiah, Lord & King - Jesus. May we all join together in the greatest service of all, that to our Master, the Great Lover of our souls. Our prayer is to come along side our brothers and sisters in the Family of God that all may increase in His wisdom, discernment, courage and protection - that we may all stand strong in these last days and be able to give to everyone an answer for the Hope that lies within us.

We are certain the Holy One is getting HIS PEOPLE ready for His soon return. What a glorious day that will be. Meantime, we must be diligent about our work for the harvest is spoiling before us as the labourers are so few.

We'd very much like to hear more from you and encourage you to be gentle to all, to teach in patience and humility correcting those who are in opposition; that God perhaps will grant repentance to those who are lost so they may know the truth and come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil before the Day of Judgment. [see 2 Timothy 2. 24 - 26]

Love, In Messiah's Service -

Laying Down Your Life


We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to
please ourselves. (Romans 15:1) At one time or another you probably heard the
phrase “Laying down your life.” What does it mean to you? But Jesus laid down His
life. He did if for all people of all types. And He did that on the cross.
Jesus also wants us to do the same for everyone else. He is asking us to show
our love, not by dying for others, but living for them. Confusing? It means the
same thing as living for God. Pray for them. Love them. It may mean to give up
your popularity and “coolness” and your time with prayer for them. So, you
lay down your life for God and others. But are you really living through God?
Do you read the Word of God? Do you pray? Are you praying for others and not
only yourself? Do you do this on a schedule everyday? Do you go into the Word
when you are in need or in trouble to see what God said about it? It is all in
there. When you lay down your life, you commit to being a slave to God; living
to please God instead of yourself. You allow God to take over your life. Be
with God and commit to him, then you are saved in Christ Jesus. If you want to
commit to God and stop playing around with fake prayer and just “putting on
your best Sunday outfit” then pray with me: Father, in Jesus name, I see that you
laid down your life for me so that I can lay mine down for you. Jesus, I
commit to you and everyone else, that I give my time, my love, and myself to you.
Lord, you are a part of me; I will preach your Word and spend time with you.
Lord, I lay down my life for you. Amen. When your words came I ate them, they
were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name. (Jeremiah 15:16) This
means that God heard you now. It is only up to you to take that step and be
in Jesus and help those in need.

FOR JUST BEING HERE



by C. R. Stam


When you sigh for heaven, remember:

“…Christ…loved the Church, and gave Himself for it…That He might present it
to Himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
but that it should be holy and without blemish” (Eph.5:25,26).

Too readily we forget that Christ loves us infinitely more than we love Him;
that He paid the penalty for our sins on cruel Calvary and shed His life’s
blood that one day He might have us for Himself to share His glory with Him
forever.

Surely, then, He would rather have us at His side in heaven than here in this
scene of sin and sorrow, and sickness and death. We should bear this in mind
when we long that we might leave this world and go to be with Him.

But there is more: The Saviour, who was exiled from this earth, and is, even
now, rejected by men, has not yet rejected them. Rather, He has left us here
as His ambassadors on hostile territory, to plead with his enemies, praying
them “in His stead” to be reconciled to God, assuring them that He has done all
that is necessary to effect a reconciliation (IICor.5: 20,21).

And this is His attitude toward mankind now, though the prophetic Scriptures
declare so emphatically that man’s rejection of Christ was to be — and will
be — visited with the severest judgment (Psa.2:4-9; Acts 2:16-20).

But not yet! Though man had declared war on Christ (Acts 4:26,27), He did not
yet make a counter-declaration, but interrupted the prophetic program to save
Saul of Tarsus, the leader of the rebellion and sent him forth to usher in
the present “dispensation of the grace of God” (Eph.3:1-3).

This is why, in His love and compassion, He leaves us here still to plead
with His enemies: “Be ye reconciled to God”. And what about His special love for
us? Entirely apart from rewards earned by service or suffering for Him, God
will richly reward us (II Cor.4:17) just for being here as “ambassadors for
Christ”.

Can you understand these things?


Grace is God's Salvation for the Sinner, Supply for the Saint.

Grace is God's Loving-Kindness for the Loveless, the Loathsome and the Lost


As Messiah Christ is related to Israel

As Head He is related to the Church, which is His body!

Do not confuse the bride (Israel) with the bridegroom (Christ the Head)

You are a member of the body of Christ Not the bride!



In Romans the believer is dead and risen with Christ

In Ephesians he is seated in the heavenlies in Christ




In Acts 19:10 we read And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks." BUT in 2 Tim. 1:15 we read "This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes." Why was that?

"Prison"

Make your "prison" experience profitable.
Sometimes you may find yourself in a situation that is very limiting to you.

It may seem like prison.
At that point you have to choose to make your "prison" experience profitable

The Apostle Paul didn't whine or moan--instead God used him to write many
books of the New Testament from a prison cell.
Even in limited circumstances, Paul kept on preaching the Gospel-even if he
had to write it as a letter from a prison cell.
Prison didn't keep Paul from his calling in Christ Jesus-- Neither can
"prison" keep you from your calling.
Don't look at your prison-Instead, look at the calling on your life and do
what God has placed in your hand to do toward that calling where you are
at--so that you can say with Paul-
"None of these things move me." Acts 20.24

Things to see, things to do!

 Irish sunrise

Well today I want you to see 2 things that is 1st the beauty of the Irish sunrise, yesterday if you remember I had a picture of an Irish sunset and now the opposite today. "It's always blackest just before the dawn" me mither use to say [Conas ta tu?] (How are you? in Irish)
We are well underway in the "Last of the Great moves" (at least for me I used to move myself when I would change Pastorates (I'd rent a truck and my step-father who worked for the U.S. Government and was in charge of all types of things {see my memory is going, what's next my ability to taste coffee?} (parish the thought!!!)
We would pack things so tightly that one time one of the kids got blocked in the truck and we had to feed them through a straw for thee days until we unloaded the truck! (That's a joke dear Reader, don't send me all those letters from the S. P. C. C. !)

The other thing that I want you to see is a warning Lets turn in our Companion Bibles to the Little Book of Jude! Only one chapter 25 lines (or verses) and the they warning to Believers (Christians) non Christians won't read this so this is just between you and me Gentle Reader, Shhhh! Jude tells us he was the brother of James--who was more widely known as bishop of Jerusalem and "brother of the Lord" (that is, either cousin, or stepbrother, being son of Joseph by a former marriage; for ancient traditions universally agree that Mary, Jesus' mother, continued perpetually a virgin). Jude therefore calls himself modestly "brother of James."
He is writing to those who are preserved in Jesus Christ--"kept." Translate not "in," but as Greek, "FOR Jesus Christ." "Kept continually by God the Father for Jesus Christ," against the day of His coming. The reason why he felt it necessary "to write with exhortation," he states in the 4th verse "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Then Jude gives us 3 examples of what has already started with the community of believing Christians the first example is that of men (I think both men and women) who were joined together with the fledgling churches)
His first example is that of those who came out of Egypt (but were destroyed by God in the desert (Verse 5) Why? simply because "Light can have no fellowship with darkness" Turn on a light and the dark cannot stay like the bugs that come out at night but turn on the light and they scurry away.

The 2nd example that Jude gives us is that of the "And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day; although we are not certain it could be that he is referring to the angels that were talked about in Genesis 6 (interesting study) it seems that Jude is talking about Sodom and Gomorrah and all that entailed.
And close on the heels of that statement is that of Jude's reference to perhaps the apocryphal book of Enoch or Josephus, or "The Assumption of Moses," ( "Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!" (Verse 9)
He goes on gto point out that these types of people are within the churches of the time in which he wrote and so Gentle Reader, they would be even today within your fellowships. So a warning is in order, When you hear a preacher or anyone talk about The Bible don't let the dust of that old book remain undusted get it out check it out for yourself! Don't let some self styled person tell you what to believe! You check them out! Why even the Apostle Paul was subject to the close watchfulness of believers.
But these are easy to spot he equates and compares their conduct with the wickedness of three of the worst Old Testament apostates: Cain, Balaam, and Korah. The reason for the selection of these three was also probably that of their sins being similar to the sins of the wicked Gnostics. Like Cain, they were innovators with a fierce hatred of any who rejected their ideas. Like Balaam, they were greedy, covetous, and willing to do any dishonorable thing whatever for the sake of money. Like Korah, they rebelled against God's appointed authorities, the sacred apostles, prophets and teachers of the new covenant, just as Korah had rebelled against Moses.( they come into your fellowship and to to wreck your sweet fellowship, They wish to divide one against another. Why do we have believer against another (Perhaps one is not a "real " believer!) Perhaps one is an apostate [apostasy= the abandonment of a former loyalty]
Does that mean then Gentle Reader that we should not have compassion on those who set themselves against themselves. No! not at all but when you are reaching out to an apostate Be careful that you are not taken in with them!

Pray for all the lost, strayed and stolen people in the world. For they have been stolen by Satan.
As they use to say on "Hill Street blues "Lets be careful out there!"

Pain and the Silence of God

Where is God? When I hurt?

God whispers in our pleasure. 

Speaks in our conscience

Shouts in our pain!

Gentle Reader,

Where is God when we hurt? Why did God allow this to happen ? I'm a good person why would God do this to me? Down through the years all types of people have ask that question about their situation or others.

Remember the Kennedy Assassination?

or the murder of Martin Luther King Jr.?

 Or more recently the Bombing of the Twin towers on September 11th?

or perhaps a loved one dies an agonizing death or a lingering death?

Where is the Goodness of God? People ask!  

It's not that so much as it is the Silence of God that hurts!

If God would just show Himself and explain then I would still my cries and sobs of hurt and bitterness!

"Where was God in those days?" asked Pope Benedict XVI as he stood in Auschwitz last week. "Why was he silent? How could he permit this endless slaughter, this triumph of evil?" 

It is the inevitable question in Auschwitz, that vast factory of death where the Nazis tortured, starved, shot, and gassed to death as many as a million and a half innocent human beings, most of them Jews. "In a place like this, words fail," Benedict said. "In the end, there can be only a dread silence, a silence which itself is a heartfelt cry to God: Why, Lord, did you remain silent?"

A SILENT Heaven! Yes, but it is not the silence of callous indifference or helpless weakness; it is the silence of a great sabbatic rest, the silence of a peace which is absolute and profound -a silence which is the public pledge and proof that the way is open for the guiltiest of mankind to draw near to God. When faith murmurs, and unbelief revolts, and men challenge the Supreme to break that silence and declare Himself, how little do they realize what the challenge means! It means the withdrawal of the amnesty; it means the end of the reign of grace; it means the closing of the day of mercy and the dawning of the day of wrath.

If God is silent now it is because Heaven has come down to earth, the climax of Divine revelation has been reached, there is no reserve of mercy yet to be unfolded. He has spoken His last word of love and grace, and when next He breaks the silence it will be to let loose the judgments which shall yet engulf a world that has rejected Christ For "our God shall come and shall not keep silence."'
A silent Heaven is a part of the mystery of God; but Holy Writ declares that a day is fixed in the Divine chronology when "the mystery of God shall be finished." And when that day breaks, the heavenly host shall again be heard, proclaiming that "The sovereignty of the world is become our Lord's and His Christ's, and He shall reign for ever and ever

It is GRACE (God's Riches At Christ's Expense) now Gentle Reader, But I am afraid that  it will not always be so.

It is time to make your peace with the God of The Word! the Bible. The God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob  The God of Peter and Paul My God and yours. (acknowledge it now or later but acknowledge it you will.

 For those who might still doubt think on this .In the Koran it speaks of Jesus, Mary and God, but the Bible does not speak of Mohammad.

 If this seems harsh then understand that I don't want to pass into eternity not knowing that you will be safe. I love all of you,  Gentle Readers, just as you are warts and all.

Denis
