Happy birthday Kenny I love you,
Luv & Prayers, Dad
I'd like to wish my oldest son Kenny, a happy 40th birthday today!!! I can still remember the nurse handing him to me, a beautiful little dark complected brown eyed seven pounder!! 40 years ago, WOW, seems like yesterday. I bet the 40 years in the wilderness to God's people because of their disobedience didn't seem like yesterday

The book of Mark covers the importance of baptism. The thief on the cross alongside with Jesus didn't exactly ask for a timeout so he could come down to get baptized, but oh what a promise Jesus gave him right there on the cross, today you will be with me in paradise!!!I guess you have to ask if you've asked Christ into your heart and he lives there why not do something really cool like publicly admit it and get baptized!!! I remember the Sunday evening I was baptized with both my brothers and my dad I will never forget it!! When Pastor Sugden asked me Ken, do you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and have you asked him into your heart, I very proudly said, yes!!! So I believe you have to be saved then baptized not baptized then saved :-) By the way, my daughter has a beautiful warm pool, great place to be baptized, let me know if you need it done :-)
That Sunday night I've never felt so obedient to my savior, it's a great thing to do!! Enjoy your Wednesday Got some cute little quiz questions for you, see how you do :-)
The wise man built his house upon ___ ____ !!! If it were not so I would ____ ____ ___ !!! Let him among you with no sin ____ ___ ____ _____!!!! Follow me and I will make you _______ __ ___!!! Answers: The rock Have told you Cast the first stone Fishers of men :-) Hope you're having a good Tuesday Happy 3rd birthday Teagan ,down in Austin Yesterday one of my granddaughters, Avia Belle, let me hold her for a good half hour in my truck, she just sat there she didn't move!! For a two-year-old that's quite a feat !! I just kept giving her smoochy's on top of her head and enjoyed every minute of the quiet time she was giving grandpa!!! I couldn't help but sit there myself and think about how God must feel when we put a stop to all the busyness, and be still and reflect on him and what he did for us by sending his son!!! Maybe we should all try what my princess did, not as much as a peep, but just sit there and grasp the wonder of God!!! I'm sorry I keep going back to my good buddy Keith years ago singing Be still my soul, that is good stuff,
A great hymn !! Enjoy your Monday Philippines 2:10&11are great versus, The apostle Paul is referring to when we meet the Lord in heaven, every knee shall bow every tongue confess. Sounds like some good ideas to practice while we're still here on earth :-) I know that I will be on the believers side of that day, I've accepted Christ as my Savior and have asked Him into my life. So while I'm here for this blink of an eye on his earth why not get on my knees and thank him and praise him in prayer and live a life that has confessing evidence that I do know HIM!! If you're in line behind me on that day you're going to be a while, in fact God will probably even have to have a recess halfway through the day I arrive :-) Let's practice these truths this week people, it will happen,we'll face Him,let's get on our knees in real honest prayer, let's not only confess Him with our tongue but the way we live our lives as well!!!!
Hope you have a great Lords Day, good day to plant some seeds and confess you know Him !! He loved me enough to take my sins to the cross, He didn't have any, He did it for me !! SELAH Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine, Blessed Redeemer Jesus is mine!!! Great little tune to go along with a cloudless hot summer day enjoy your Saturday:-)
Probably not going to make too many friends on this one today but here goes anyway. What do you consider spiritual? I would have to say any preaching or teaching that exalts Christ. Along with that,a great prayer life which is powerful and pays respect to the Holy Spirit. What do you consider soulish? That's real simple, anything that draws attention to man,automated repeated prayers that just don't come from the heart and a worship service that revolves around visible things of entertainment instead of the unseen personal spiritual movement of the Holy Spirit being in the room!!! I know what you're saying, boy is this dude ever old-school, I don't look at it as old-school I look at it as the only school!!! If you're going to get up put on your Sunday best and go to a service wouldn't you rather get some food for the soul instead of being entertained, I hope you get a weeks worth of challenge from the pulpit and want to do nothing but be of His service!!
I'd rather hear "BE STILL MY SOUL" sung by a blind kid named Keith when I use to go to South Baptist !!!! Not a dry eye after he finished !!! TGIF !!! Here at Tabletop that of course means Thank God I'm Forgiven !! You have a great Friday!! Oh and by the way,I was in a band called The Color Of Sound in the late 60s we were pretty good,see I'm not as old-school as you think but I'd take Keith singing from not only his heart but his soul on a Sunday morning to anything that we could play !! Thanks for checking in today here at Tabletop IN Third John chapter 4, John writes a great verse and it says, I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth!!!!!AMEN
If you're a parent or grandparent and you're a believer you know exactly what John is talking about in this verse. I think it's great we have missionaries, but our mission field starts with our own family and especially our own kids. Until you have those ducks in a row it's going to be kind of hard to save the rest of the world. As Solomon says in Proverbs train a child in the way he or she should go!!! Here's the best testimony you can be moms dads grandmas grandpas you're being watched, man are you being watched!!! Your kids would rather see a sermon then here one, talk is cheap ,and as they say" the proof is in the puddin" :-) When we live for Christ in front of our kids ,families and our friends you really don't need to say much!! My mantel is my "prayer closet "with all the pictures of my kids and grandkids !! And a open Bible that's well used and marked up left open on the table is a good start that's how I came up with the name tabletop ministries never put the word of God away always have it available ,you talk about a testimony, oh and by the way if you're going to advertise your're a Christian ,better be one :-) Have a great Thursday!! Brush,brush,brush and floss,floss floss that's advice from my four-year-old grandson Hazen today:-) Had his first cavity filled this morning :-)
Sometimes we do that we polish up the outside brush it up a little bit but if you don't floss and get in between stuff that's where the decay begins!! Sin can do that it won't be an obvious surface it'll be hidden that's where it can do its most damage, get it out of there, confess it and get rid of it floss floss floss !!!! As you know sin separates us from God !!! You know how good you feel after a good check up at the dentist office, same goes for a good check up with how were doing living for Christ, brightens that smile :-) Have a good Wednesday One of my princess granddaughters, Avia Belle, got a big old nasty sliver Father's Day out by the Tiki hut when we were around her pool!! Being rather upset about it, AV let it be known, it hurt !! So mama heard about this home remedy to help make the sliver come to the surface. You're not gonna believe this but she duct taped a banana to the bottom of her foot for 12 hours and that banana made the sliver surface and they were able to get it out with tweezers!!!! It reminded me of the story of the apostle Paul asking Jesus if the thorn in his flesh could be removed because he wasn't exactly enjoying it either. The Scriptures do not say what that was but it obviously was bothering him. Ever have something that continues to bother you to poke you and remind you? No fun is it, glad to know my savior is aware of my little hurts,aches & pains,some he fixes some he doesn't.
If there's something that is putting you in pain today, duct tape some prayers and Jesus to it for 12 hours see if anything lessens up!! Enjoy your Tuesday |
