Keep those Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏 Happy 8th Birthday Teagan, down in Austin 🎉🎂🎁
Let’s all be “amateurs” for Jesus this week, because we love Him 👍👍
After studying First Corinthians chapter 1, 10 years ago today, I wrote this in my journal. God doesn’t want us to think we’re on His level. He wants us to come into His presence so He can work through us !!! And then I wrote, “Be an amateur.” Amateur means, someone who does something simply for the love of it !!! Extra prayers today for a 10 year old in Grand Rapids, named Braylin, along with Kelli Kris Steve Maverick Alexandra and Don!!

One of the best stories I’ve heard, is the one about a Christian luncheon for women, who were asked to introduce themselves and tell the group their occupation. There were all kinds of good answers, but the best one was the last lady that stood and said” I raise my children for God” WOW BEST ANSWER IN THE GROUP!! As a mom or dad, grandma or grandpa, that should be you’re number one occupation. If you get some time this week read First & Second Timothy, Paul makes it very clear how important it is to be a parent !!! Have a great Lords’Day!! Keep your prayers said 🙏🙏 and your Bibles read📖📖
MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO 👍👍😂😂 SO TRUE I remember when I was growing up, my mom would say to me when I was about to do something in question, “do you really want to be doing that, or be in that place if Jesus comes today.” Matthew tells us in 24:44 you better be ready and be doing things that you want to be doing at all times, because the hour that Christ will return, is an hour you do not expect it to happen. It Does Not mean to be living in fear, or sneaking around all the time, but it does mean be ready. I shutter when I think of Christ’s return, and all of us that will leave with Him for Heaven, those that are going to be left behind will witness that first hand. Scary stuff if your name is not in The Book Of Life. Thanks for being so cheery this morning Ken, you say, I’m not trying to be cheery, I’m preaching to myself here first and foremost, that I’m ready. Thank you for the continued prayers for Kelli Kris Steve and Maverick couple new ones Alexandra &Don !!! Keep those Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏🙏 The best news is, God never erases one name out of that book, after we receive His Son !!! Believe me,God would’ve gone through two bottles of white out, just for my name alone, but for some reason He still loves me !!! You Ready ?
Paul reminds us in First Thessalonians 5:21, that we should want all things proving to us, and to definitely hold fast to that which is good. Faith, is trusting surest thing in the world, that of course is The Bible, handed to us by God, Himself!! Gullible, of course means that you except things without evidence and believe unproven stories, Stick with God’s Word, it’s the truth, it is not a passing fad of doctrine, but God‘s instruction Book to us, because He loves us. Continued prayers for Kelli Kris Steve & Maverick, so much appreciated!! Keep your Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏Gods Word is proven truth, read it, believe it, memorize it, but most important of all, share it with others. Have a great first day of Summer ☀️☀️☀️
David reminds us in some 98:4 “Break forth in song, rejoice and sing praises”. Do you know why birds sing, because they can :-) It’s also how they communicate. They attract mates and defend their territory through song!! The main reason they sing is because they have a syrinx instead of a larynx in their chest!! If God made it so birds can sing praise, how about we do the same today. Still sitting here this morning trying to figure out why God blessed me the way he has with my kids and grandkids, so thankful for the Father’s Day yesterday. Continued prayers for Steve Maverik Kelli Kris, so muchly appreciated. Keep your Bibles read 📖 and your prayers said 🙏🙏 I’m going to use my larynx today to praise God. Enjoy your Monday👍
Also, if you could pray for my friend Remi, as he leads a group of young men in a Bible study, out in Kingman Arizona, DOUBLE WHAMMY OF THANKS in regards to that request!!! Paul was reminding his Roman Christian friends, in Romans 6:18,that having being set free from sin,we should want to become slaves of righteousness. What that verse of course means is that we are free from the bondage of sin, but the Romans thought they could still go on sinning because they were under grace. Paul reminded them that whatever they submit to, that becomes our master. That is backed up in John 8:34. Salvation actually means that we change into a bondage of service for The Lord. We should want to be living in righteousness, the best we can, because of the freedom that Jesus provided through His Death On The Cross!!!! Continue prayers for Kelli Kris Steve and Maverick muchly appreciated. Keep your Bibles read 📖 and in your prayers said have a great Saturday !!!
Well as a grandpa I did my part last weekend and last night, and made sure I attended all four of my Princess Granddaughters dance recitals. All of them were outside this year, and I really liked that. Of course they were all the prettiest and best of the group 😂😂 Each year I’ve attended the “ Big Night” I had them autograph their program,That goes up on grandpa’s walls in my house. The hours and hours and hours of practice that go into that five minute performance is unbelievable, but it sure shows. We can skim over the Bible, or we can take the time and actually read it,and study it. Gloria Lorelai Avia & Skylie
didn’t just get up there and do a routine, it took practice practice practice practice for the performance to turn out the way it did. You can skim the surface, or you can dive in deep, God’s Word is chuck full of treasures!!! Update on Hazen’s first Bible study yesterday, let’s just say when my daughter sent me the picture of four of them sitting at a picnic table on a beautiful summer day, with Bibles open, Grandpa had a good cry with tears of joy 👍👍👍 IM SO BLESSED!!! If you have the privilege of being a grandparent, you better be just that !!!! BE & LEAVE A “LEG A SEE” FOR THEM TO FOLLOW!!!!!! One of my five grandsons, Hazen, nine year old, has his first Bible study today at 1 o’clock. I couldn’t help but think this morning, as I was having my quiet time, how many nine-year-olds are having a Bible study today!!
We all know the story about when the disciples were trying to get the kids away from Jesus, and Jesus said, “these little ones are the reason I made the kingdom.” Mark 10:14. If you think it’s not important to lead the little ones to Christ, you’re wrong. Then to see one of these little ones in Gods name, go out and start some “kids only”fellowship 😂😂 today at 1 o’clock, that is what it’s all about. Jesus knows the little ones have the best hearts, and receive him by their child like faith. As we get older it usually takes an event to except Christ, kids do it because of love. This world would be a lot better off if nine and 10-year-olds were running it !! Grandpa will be praying Hazy !!!!! When someone tried to go against God, in The Old Testament, it seemed like God used people, and His wrath to get His point across. He made sure there was no doubt,He was not happy. I know that God is really going to show what He’s been holding back someday. And when He does, because of my believe in His Son Jesus, who died on the cross that Good Friday, God’s wrath will not be brought upon me,because of my forgiveness through His mercy.
does that mean go out and sin because you’ll be forgiven, NO,not at all, what it means is to do your best to try to live righteous in Gods eyes. Then when we fail at that, it’s time to hit the knees, bury your face in the pillow, ask for forgiveness, and even more strength, not to do it again. Preaching to myself this morning, enjoy this beautiful summer Lords’Day. Thank you for checking in, and for all the prayers for Kelli Kris Steve and Maverick. It’s appreciated beyond your belief. Keep your Bibles read 📖and your prayers said 🙏🙏🙏🙏 COFFEE - CHURCH - COOKOUT 👍🤗☀️ |
