A Woman Leader To Be Admired

This is one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite woman leaders.

How true? How can the richest nation in the world be in so much debt?

A staggering 19.3 trillion dollars while it is increasing by 2.5 billion dollars each and everyday! A sobering thought.

Our Faith Is Not Of Works

martin-luther

“Our works do not generate righteousness. Rather our righteousness in Christ generates works.” -Martin Luther

Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

“Abiding”

HE TOOK ME AND PLACED ME IN HIM

BUT

IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO ABIDE THERE

John 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Romans 11:17 And thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.

The Lost Meaning of Halloween

It was originally a date on the Celtic calendar, a pagan celebration named Samhain, to honor their ancestors and to recognize the change of the season to the dark days of winter. After the spread of Christianity the church renamed it an All Hallows Eve to reflect on the saints who went before us in preparation to celebrate All Saints day on November 1. The name Halloween is a 16th century Scottish variant of the fuller All Hallows Eve i.e. the night before All Saints Day.
This Halloween truly make it a “Hallowed” evening by reflecting on all those saints especially those who laid down their lives and made the ultimate sacrifice that we may have the faith we have today. I personally reflect on the saints who invested their lives to translate the Word of God during the time of the Reformation, many of whom were burned at the stake, that we may have the blessing today to personally read and understand the Bible. Yet so often days even weeks can go by before we pick it up to read and meditate on it, not regarding the martyred lives and sacrifice it cost to translate it from the Greek and Hebrew.
Then on November 1, which was set aside by the early church in 835AD as All Saints Day, we can truly celebrate in our hearts by praising God for the foundation we have inherited from all those who have walked the faith before us leaving us footprints to follow.
See page 210 of my book “Developing a Secret History with God” which emphasis being thankful for our historical spiritual roots and the foundation of faith we have inherited with the Lord Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone. Walk with the King and be a blessing adding your block to the temple He is building for future generations to follow.

Promise Keepers

Do you always keep your word?

 Only then will you know His character is being formed in you.

If our characters are being conformed to His Image we will keep promises we make.

Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?
