Great morning! How are we faithing? I have found if I put my trust in people, I'll get let down. If people put their trust in me, I'll let them down. That is not a boo hoo statement but one that speaks of the failings and faults of mankind. As much as we and others try to do the right thing, some how, some where, some time, our actions will be incorrect. Why is this? Mankind is fallen and without Jesus and the acceptance of his sacrifice we will die in that sin. It really tugs hard at my soul that anyone could be lost and have to pay in hell for something that has already been paid for by Jesus but if those folks disregard or blow off the Messiah, it's their choice. A just God gives us the choice of being his or not and honors that choice. Heck man, if Adam and Eve walked and talked with God in the cool of the evening and still sinned, we ain't got a chance of not sinning. Living in a state of "my good will outweigh my bad" is a futile attempt at justification. If those people who walked and talked to God couldn't do it, we sure cant. But the up side is now we have an intercessor to God and that is messiah Jesus.

John 14:1-7

Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. "And you know the way where I am going." Thomas said to Him, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."
NAS

Hebrews 4:14-16
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.
NAS

John 3:17-18
"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love for us that you did what was necessary for us to be with you forever. We ask you open the eyes of the lost and draw them to you. We ask for strength of spirit, courage of flesh and purity of mind so we can present your son to a lost and dying world. Lord we lift those mentioned and those unmentioned. Reveal yourself in their healing. Let them know you care and love them. We stand on the rock of your Word throughout our days, in Jesus name, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? I have alot on my mind today. I am wrestling with events and the effect they have on me personally. We all do that and sometimes those events whoop up on us and as humans we put up defensive walls of self protectionism. We must be careful that we do not turn away the brethren and or the lost when faced with adversity because our reactions or actions put Christ on display. Of course we are not speaking of armed villains attacking but the more subtle types of attacks. Really if you think about it, a head on threat has self obvious action to be taken by its very nature. A knife wielding perpetrator requires a specific reaction whereas a snake type of sneak attack can hit us from the blind side where we do not expect it. Verbal lashings can be met with sound argument or ignored where back biting is a cowardly sneak attack. How we deal with these things is crucial to the eventual outcome. The wisdom we gain from the Word is to be trusted and put into practice daily. I fall short all the time because I am amazed at what just happened and lots of times I stand jaw dropped. The Word tells us to be gentle as lambs but wise as wolves. I never really understood how that works being such a trusting soul until I witnessed some attacks on brethren. The Lord has taught me to hate the sin and not the sinner but I'll tell you, it ain't always easy to do. Our savior sees in that manner and when I get over my appalling mode I realize this truth and move to Thanksgiving because what Jesus did for us becomes incredibly real.


Psalms 139:2-6

Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up;
Thou dost understand my thought from afar.
Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And art intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, Thou dost know it all.
Thou hast enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Thy hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is too high, I cannot attain to it.
NAS

Romans 12:1-2
I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
NAS

Remember Doug's daughter...remember Bob Burnsmier...remember Dulce...remember Chris Hall...remember Jessie...remember Kat and I

Heavenly Father,
Lord we ask for wisdom and understanding of things that come our way. Thank you for your grace and love that you would send your son for us. Forgive our transgressions and help us see truth in all we see and do. Guide us down the narrow path and protect us from the robbers along that path. Arm us with wisdom and courage to stand up to wrongs, defend the innocent and rebuke satan and his henchmen, in your holy name we pray Jesus, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? There are a whole lot of things that hinder an appropriate walk with God. First of course is the acceptance of Jesus as messiah but today I want to address bigotry. We will only scratch the surface of this huge subject but I do hope you explore where your personal bigotries are and address them and pray for deliverance. Bigotry goes way further than skin color and ethnicity. I see bigotry from church to church. Oh sure if there are fundamental doctrinal differences I can understand avoidance of a church but spewing hate or condemnation is not righteous or productive or even biblical. I personally believe that methodology of administration of procedure is up to the individual church along guidelines found biblically and if church A does communion weekly and church B does it quarterly, who's to say one is more correct than the other? Bigotry lends itself to the notion church A has it together and church B is heretical, or visa versa. Church A people say church B people are doomed because of this. Church B looks down their nose at church A with condescending comments and actions. The uninformed receive these notions as new Christians and perpetuate the notion, dislike the other and don't even know why. I hear talk from other churches and the comments are unfounded or at the least bore out of jealousy or hatred. Someone driving a red Mustang cuts me off therefore all red Mustangs have bad drivers in them. How ludicrous and stupid is that? We all understand bigotry and we have to stop it. Did our savior avoid anyone? Did Jesus offer his grace and salvation to everyone except those who eat this or that or those who wear this or that? You'll not find that type of action anywhere in the Word. Jesus can save and change anyone who asks. If we were judged on past behavior or even present things, we'd all be doomed. It's time we stop this bickering and looking down our noses at others and jump in with both feet to this grace which leads to life. Are we so insecure that we have to have someone to diss to feel good about our self? Sad sad if we do.



Mark 2:16-17
And when the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they began saying to His disciples, "Why is He eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?" And hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
NAS

Luke 9:49-50
And John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to hinder him because he does not follow along with us." But Jesus said to him, "Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you."
NAS

Acts 10:28
And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
NAS

Remember Kat...remember Sherry Trumble...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your truth that sets us free. Thank you for showing yourself to us in your Word. Lord, forgive us for our weaknesses. We do apologize for contempt we harbor. Lord we seek your wisdom to act and to think righteously and charitably. Lord, heal those who are hurting. Set down on them and let your gladness and joy completely overwhelm them, in Jesus name we pray, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? It is a tough thing to hold ones tongue. Sometimes we form opinions, right or wrong doesn't matter here, and we lash out. I've discovered that sometimes even when something is true, why say it? Who is to benefit? Who does this comment help? By my speaking it, does it cure the infraction or problem or compound it? I have been stepped on by others as I know you have but does that give me the right to slam them? I am just as guilty as that guy who wronged me when I speak badly of someone. Now if it is a brother in the Lord, it is even worse. I've heard some comments about how people dress at church or how one praises during worship. For one, why would I care? Isn't it enough to keep my own self in line? Gee whiz man, they're in church and not at a strip club! I've also heard comments about people who were awful in the past and now profess Jesus as savior, weren't we all lost and vile before Jesus? The Word specifically tells us to shut the heck up and not speak evil of anyone, especially the brethren. These following verses are just a small few of all that speak of this in the Word. We can cause way more harm to the faith and to people personally with our tongues than we could imagine. Do you have memories of things said to you that hurt? We all do so it goes to reason that what we say that doesn't edify is doing the same thing to someone else...


Titus 3:2
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
KJV


James 4:11
Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge of it.
NAS


Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.
NAS


2 Timothy 2:24-26
And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
NAS


Matthew 5:22
"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever shall say to his brother, 'Raca,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever shall say, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.
NAS


Luke 6:37-38
"And do not judge and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.
NAS
Remember Hallie...remember Mona and April...remember Ed's brother...remember Kate's daughter-in-law and new grand baby!

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for forgiveness. Thank you for loving wretches like us. Lord, forgive us when we speak ill. Forgive us for all we do that isn't righteous behavior. We ask forgiveness for all the people who have wronged us. Give us a thankful heart that can only come from you. Let us see you. Lord we ask for strength and wisdom to know when and how to speak and to shut up Bless those mentioned today, in Jesus name, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? Like a watchman on a wall we are able to see what is happening around us if we pay attention. So many bury their heads in the sand or in the hay in the field they miss the things going on around them. We tend to get so wrapped up in our own deal we miss God's voice, God's handiwork and God's plan for our lives. There are so many things on this earth that captivate us and if we dive too deep into these things they can become idols. Does that mean we shouldn't try to be the best at what we do? On the contrary but don't be foolish to think you are great enough or so far above everyone else that the best becomes more important than the deed. Our attitudes about ourselves is so important because it can become real easy to pat one's own back and look down ones nose at everyone else. When God says "humbly" he doesn't mean self debasement but with the realization that others can and others did and after you are gone others will. When you achieve be very aware of God's grace on you. Be very aware that at any second everything could change. Change for the better, change for the worse. We are created to fellowship with the creator and if we fellowship with the created and ignore the creator we exalt ourselves and that only leads to pride before a fall.


Psalms 130:6
My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.
NAS

Proverbs 3:6-8
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
It will be healing to your body,
And refreshment to your bones.
NAS

remember Jess...remember our leaders...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that is the only truth we have. Lord, help us seek you in all we do. Teach your principles and open our hearts eyes when we read your Word. Lord, allow us to hear your voice in all we do. Help us be true followers of your son. Help us be courageous when faced with the things of the enemy. Help us recognise the enemies ploys...heal our bones in Jesus name, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? Life has tons of distractions. Some require our attention and some do not. Some require repair and some do not. Some need addressing and some can legitimately be ignored. Which ones we should mess with and which ones can be discarded can be a difficult and frightening thing at times. It is prudent to remember what the Word teaches. Being ready in and out of season as the Word says doesn't mean just able to preach. Being open and receptive to that butt who's on the war path raging and carrying on at your job is listening to the nuances and seeing that they are hurting and not letting the manifestation of that hurt cloud the opportunity to present Christ-like demeanor. Correction may be needed but is it up to you or is it more profitable to stand calm and strong and reach out? I've been around people I wanted to slap the taste out of their mouths but it would solve nothing but more hurt and more animosity. We all have things in our life that can make us act weird so remembering that the guy on the attack may be in one of those episodes will keep us away from the "holier than thou" syndrome. Pointing out infractions in a timely and loving manner is not only wise and biblical but prudent for presenting Jesus in a manner that promotes real love and not correction for corrections sake. Wouldn't you rather have things pointed out with love and concern rather than a smack down?



Leviticus 19:17-18

'You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.
NAS

Proverbs 20:22
Do not say, "I will repay evil";
Wait for the LORD, and He will save you.
NAS

Romans 12:19
Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord.
NAS

Ephesians 4:31-32
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.
NAS

Colossians 3:7-9
But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth.
NAS

Remember Kathy...remember Jessie...

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your Word that teaches and sustains us. Lord forgive us when we get butt hurt and respond in kind to transgressions. Lord we want to act Christlike but are weak. Grant us the wisdom and the courage to be as you designed us to be. Open our eyes to others inner man and not the outer actions. Lord we desire to serve you and to lead others to you. We praise your name and it is in that name of Jesus we pray, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? Do you think you have to do in order for God to love? Do you think anytime you screw up God shakes his head? Do you think every day you encounter is new or unknown to God too? Do you think the shenanigans you've pulled were a surprise to God? Man, if any of that is true, we are in deep water treading about to go down the last time. Praise the Lord he already knows this stuff and has all ready reached his hand over the side of the boat, we just have to take it. "But you don't know what I've done", you are right, I don't, I don't wanna know unless you need to repent but God already knows. For pete's sake, he designed and created all of us. Sin is sin and sin is the same. We have sinned the same since Adam and Eve. The only difference in the sin past people committed compared to us is we used a Chevy and they used an ox cart. They used ram horns and we used brass. Do you understand that? Jesus called us to himself because he loves us, all of us.The opportunity to live under grace and forgiveness is available to us all. Allowing Jesus to forgive you and to dwell inside you is the single biggest most important choice you can make this side of forever.


Psalms 139:1-5
O LORD, Thou hast searched me and known me.
Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up;
Thou dost understand my thought from afar.
Thou dost scrutinize my path and my lying down,
And art intimately acquainted with all my ways.
Even before there is a word on my tongue,
Behold, O LORD, Thou dost know it all.
Thou hast enclosed me behind and before,
And laid Thy hand upon me.
NAS

Acts 17:30-31
"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead. "
NAS

Titus 3:3-7
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for loving us. Thank you for dealing with us. Thank you for your son who was willing to give all so we could approach you. Lord forgive us please when we falter and miss your will. Lord we are sorry for doubting and falling for the tricks of the enemy, we don't mean to but we do. Lord, please touch those mentioned. Heal them however they need it. Lord we pray for those who are treading water in life thinking they don't need you or don't even know about you. Open their eyes. Help us be witness to your love and act accordingly. Lord we honor and praise you. Thank you Lord for all things and help us learn quick so we can move on..in Jesus name, amen

Great morning! How are we faithing this fine fall day? I sit and ponder all sorts of things. Sometimes it's whether an aluminum spacer will hold up as well as a steel one in a certain application and sometimes if I said the right thing to someone and did I use Russ logic or my saviors. I do believe God instills wisdom in us by reading the Word and by shear intervention of the Holy Spirit. I have learned to recognise that small still voice to answer queries and that if what comes to mind is in line with the Word or not. The only way you can rely on what you hear is if you are in the Word daily. I've heard many a person quote Shakespeare and swear it was from the Bible. The quote isn't necessarily wrong but where it came from is and with that kind of mistake, what else from a unbiblical source is bouncing around in our heads and then regurgitated as absolute truth? Question things. Accept nothing as absolute truth without research. Sure directions to the hardware store can be accepted as absolute truth but even then, ever been given wrong directions? The only truth that can be completely relied upon is God's words so why would we not take them in as often as possible?


Psalms 119:160
The sum of Thy word is truth,
And every one of Thy righteous ordinances is everlasting.
NAS

John 17:17-18
"Sanctify them in the truth; Thy word is truth.

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.

Good morning! How are we faithing? I am so enamored with old movies, videos and tv shows. I watch the people and what is happening culturally as well as what is hip at the time to compare to today. The big thing I notice is people are the same. They succumb and succeed the same. They move on from where they are to the next day just like we do. We now see those same generations as older folks and listen to their stories with awe and wonderment. It also is so interesting to me that nothing has changed. I still hear the same woes. I still hear the same rhetoric about life. Some of the older folks are wise and some are bitter. Why? Circumstances, events of the past are being lived in. Some are just not letting the past go. We can't change the past so why do we allow it to whoop us? "What if" and "I shoulda" and "if I could do it again" are sayings heard all the time. Well "what if" is a futile exercise, "I shoulda" is an extension of what if and we can't do it again, but we can make sure we don't repeat. You know, today is a big enough job to handle, why fret about what is past and we can't change or worry about tomorrow before we have to? Of course we plan for tomorrow but if all we ever do is plan in anticipation for tomorrow we will not live today but just get through it. We've all heard of the people who work their tail off to retire only to die soon after they do retire. I'm not saying throw caution to the wind and not plan but the Word does tell us to live today, let tomorrow worry about itself and take the opportunity to share God and life while you can. Your relationship with God last year is not the same as it is today just like your relationship with loved ones changes. The relationship grows or it should. Is yours not? Why not? It's time to find out why for both. Start with a simple prayer and then apply these principles we've discussed the last 5 years. Jesus is the same today, yesterday and forever so that means we are the ones learning and growing. We are the ones who goof up. We are the ones searching for answers so lets stop finger pointing, whining and regrets and press on with Jesus.

Matthew 6:30-34
"But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? "Do not be anxious then, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'With what shall we clothe ourselves?' "For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. "Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
NAS

Hebrews 13:7-9
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today , yes and forever.
NAS

Luke 12:16-21
And He told them a parable, saying, "The land of a certain rich man was very productive. "And he began reasoning to himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?' "And he said, 'This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."' "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' "So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
NAS

remember Anna...

Heavenly Father,
We come before you humbly asking forgiveness for our unbelief. We ask for forgiveness for fret and fuming over things rather than believing and relying on you. Lord we lift the children up to you. Teach them to be your servants and to have your love in them. Help us honor you and live for you. Open your Word to us in Jesus name, amen

Good morning! How are we faithing? With the talks this week about behavior I think it's best to end the week with verses to make you think and analyze yourself. Don't beat yourself up if you can't completely adhere because we are human and we do stumble. Only Jesus did it perfectly and we ain't Jesus. Lots of the pitfalls we encounter push buttons and we react. Seeking the savior daily and looking to him for your strength leads to less and less stumbling. Just like when we learned to walk many missteps were taken but we learned and grew and eventually walked upright and without even thinking we walked well. Following after Jesus produces similar actions in us. The longer we seek him the more he shines in us and you know what? The less we misstep...
Ephesians 5:1-21
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says,

"Awake, sleeper,
And arise from the dead,
And Christ will shine on you."

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
NAS

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your guidance in our lives. Help us recognise you and the lies of the world. Lord we want to walk upright and in your light. Teach us, walk with us, help this walk become our way just as it was yours. Help us see needs and meet them. Help us secure our minds in your Word so we can fend off contrary thoughts. Lord we life our leaders to you. Lord we lift your people and your nation. Heal the land. Heal the lost souls and equip us for that duty to reap the harvest of your people..In Jesus name, amen
