Time is a Gift

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.

Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days,

that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Walking Worthy

images-5

Your walk not only effects your life but also the lives of all the others who are looking to you for an example.

1 Thessalonians 2:11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.

Then one day you may declare as Paul did “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ” 1 Corinthians 11:1

The New Year of 2015 is Full of Opportunities to Change

 

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man”. Benjamin Franklin

New Year is God’s way of letting you know

that there is still a chance for you to change for the better.

Have a blessed and prosperous New Year!

2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord

Read chapter 10 “Changed from Glory to Glory” from my book “Developing a Secret History with God” to inspire these changes in our lives. Available from Barnes and Amazon

A Tribute to Andrae Crouch

andrae-crouch

Honoring the memory of one of our greatest songwriters and worshippers of our time who went home to be with His Lord this week by quoting some of his lyrics which have impacted my walk with the Lord for so many years.

Take me back, take me back dear Lord

To the place where I first received you.

Take me back, take me back dear Lord where I

First believed.”

So often don’t we need to return to the place where we first believed, to the foot of the cross?

“How can I say thanks for the things

You have done for me?

Things so undeserved yet you gave

To prove your love for me

The voices of a million angels

Could not express my gratitude

All that I am, and ever hope to be

I owe it all to thee”

These words have reminded me so many times to have a grateful heart.

“I thank God for the mountains,

And I thank Him for the valleys,

I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.

For if I’d never had a problem,

I wouldn’t know God could solve them,

I’d never know what faith in God could do.”

How many times have these lyrics seen me through hard times!

“The blood that Jesus shed for me,

Way back on Calvary;

The blood that gives me strength

From day to day,

It will never lose it’s power.

It reaches to the highest mountain,

It flows to the lowest valley;

The blood that gives me strength

From day to day,

It will never lose it’s power.

It soothes my doubts and calms my fears,

And it dries all my tears;

The blood that gives me strength

From day to day,

It will never lose it’s power.”

This has to be my favorite of all his many great songs, for it is the foundational power of our Christian faith. And all of God’s children said “AMEN!!!”
