Material Things Don't Matter

Are Christians Being Silenced?

2009-06-28T17:41:00.000-07:00

Acts 7:51-60 (King James Version)

51Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

52Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

53Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

54When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

55But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

56And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

57Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

58And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

59And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

60And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
In this passage it tells how Stephen tells others, of how they have rejected Jesus and God's laws.
I was reading this passage and it reminded me of emails that I have received in the last few weeks.
I have received many emails on the hate crime bill, that is now going through Congress and the Senate. Many are saying that the terminology in this bill, will be used against Christians. That speaking of homosexuality in a negative way, could get preachers arrested. If a preacher does a sermon say on Leviticus 18:22, and someone that heard the sermon commits a hate crime against someone the preacher could be arrested. Now please don't get me wrong, I think hate crimes are totally wrong, no group of people should ever have violence inflicted upon them because of race,religion,gender,or sexuality. I am just trying to figure out how the preacher could be arrested, for preaching what is in the bible. By arresting the preacher, would that not be crime against his First Amendment? Free exercise of religion, infringe the freedom of speech.If the preacher is preaching what the bible states is wrong. Now if he was promoting pure hate, that would be completely wrong. Many states have tried to pass the same sex marriages, wanting everyone to say that it is ok. In the bible it states that it is wrong, and Abomination. I guess all I truly want to say, is that everyone is entitled to their opinion. That no group should be silenced. That no person should ever have to experience hate crimes. It is wrong for a person to be persecuted because of their lifestyle,beliefs, or their race. Parts of the bill are for hate crimes but some parts are to shut up Christians. I truly believe there will come a day, that once again Christians will be persecuted for their beliefs. That we will have to go underground to read the word of God. That it will be against the law to carry a bible, and that telling of Jesus Christ you will be put to death. Eventually, it could all come to past, only God knows. In Luke 21:12-19 it tells of how Christians will be persecuted. I truly know that everything that is written in the bible will be fulfilled. So let us get busy telling the world about Jesus Christ, and not stop even if others try to silence us.

In Luke 21:12-19

12: But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13: And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14: Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16: And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18: But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19: In your patience possess ye your souls.

Lord, I Want To Go Fishing

2009-02-22T10:09:00.001-08:00

Mark 1:17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.Jesus can make all of us great fishers. To share our story with someone who is lost. To reach out to others who may not know that Jesus died for all sinners. If we let Jesus lead the way, He will make us fisherman of some lost soul. The Holy Spirit will give us the words to say, we will never be grasping for what to say. Let us not stand by while family,friends,or acquaintances die lost. Let us be fisherman for Jesus, to be wading the waters to tell others of His saving grace. Let us get busy telling others why Jesus died for our sins on the cross, and to tell them He arose on the third day. I would hate to think, that because of my own laziness that a lost soul died without knowing Jesus. That at one time I was given the opportunity to tell them of the greatest love of all, and failed to equip them with the greatest story of all, Jesus' love. Let us pray daily for God to make us fisherman among men, so that He can lead and guide our path to the lost. That we may make a difference in one persons life. I guess to sum it all up, let us be fisherman for God. To try and reach the lost, and tell them there is a way to escape Satan's Hell pit.Lord, I Want To Go FishingLord, I want to go fishing for YouTo tell the lost of Jesus in all I doTo the world I want to shoutLet Jesus cast Satan outThere are many lost soulsThat are in Satan's dark holeNow the fishing is so primeTo tell them of Jesus in timeThat Jesus can rid them of Satan's clawsHe can take away all their sins and flawsEveryday as Christians our faith we are portrayingSo let us go fishing for those lost souls that are delayingLet not our fishing equipment become filled with rustTo tell the lost of Jesus that is a complete mustTo tell them by accepting Jesus into their heart, it is their gainHe will make them white as snow, and remove every stainThat when everything in life has become to roughJesus' love will always be more than enoughLet us go fishing and make a connectionTelling the lost, that Jesus is their protection

Leap Of Faith

2009-02-20T14:18:00.001-08:00

John 5:24Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into the judgment, but has passed from death into life.Many times we hear the phrase "leap of faith". It puts me in mind of standing on top of a mountain and looking over. We have to overcome the fear of getting to close to the edge to enjoy the beauty. It is that leap of faith that leads us to be able to make our way to the edge to see the beauty that lies below. Many times people just take it one step at a time when deciding to climb down to see the beauty. They take slow steps because their fear of falling is greater than their faith of making it to the bottom safely. Others just jump right in and take off. That is what we call a leap of faith, when we experience the love of Jesus. If our faith is rooted in Him, we can take that step in one giant leap. We will know the excitement and love of accepting Jesus into our heart. With that leap of faith we will know that He will carry us in His arms daily. That we will have a home in heaven above. Let us not be reserved to accept Jesus, let us take that leap of faith, and with that tell others about Jesus daily. To jump right in there and tell the world of the love that Jesus has given us. That it is extended to all sinners. That Jesus died for everyone, and whosoever shall believe in Him shall have eternal life. It just takes that leap of faith, knowing that Jesus can and will save your soul. Just by us turning to Him when He calls. Just by confessing our sins, and believing He is God's only Son. Let us get busy telling the world that Jesus saves, take the challenge look over the edge and tell others of God's love for us. Tell the lost to just trust and believe in Jesus and take that leap of faith. It is a decision you will never regret. You will find a love like you have never known in Jesus Christ.Leap Of FaithFather, let me take that giant leap of faithNot to judge others, and brush them off in haste Let me take the leap of faith to tell the lost of Jesus ChristThat He can save their soul and give them eternal lifeDaily let us tell the lost of Jesus' loveSo they may one day have a home aboveLet us take that leap of faith to do Your will each dayTo tell the lost about Jesus and His loving waysFather, let me stand on the mountain and declare Your gloryTo shout from the top, about Jesus and His wonderful storyWhisper the words that I need to say to someone who is lostLet me witness to them no matter what be the costLet me never be afraid to tell someone about Your only SonLet me take the leap of faith, so Your will can be doneLet me walk in Your way no matter what I doAll of my days let me tell the lost about You

Do Good Unto Others

2007-04-19T18:19:00.001-07:00

Galations 6:9Let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.Let us be kind to others, and not speak out in anger. Let us spread love to one another. Let us keep one another in our prayers. When someone is suffering, or in pain, let us be a true friend. Let us send them a special card, or pick up the phone and give them a call. To let them know that we are thinking of them. Let us lend a helping hand to a friend. It may be taking someone to the store, give them a lift to the doctors office. Whatever a person may need let us try our best to be there for them.Do Good Unto AllDo good unto everyone that you meetTogether the hum drum of life we can beatWhen you pass someone on the street give a smileSomeone may need some sort of cheer for a whileLet us help someone who may be in needLet us listen to others problems indeedSomeone may need us to lend a earThey need to talk, and need a friend nearLet us tell others of Jesus, they may be in despairLet us tell them, Jesus is waiting and is always thereLet us do good to others, all along the wayWe can make a difference in the things that we sayOne day soon, we may need them to pray for usWe may need a friend like them,in who we can trust

Following God

2007-03-27T03:08:00.000-07:00

Matthew 10:38He that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.Let us follow God in our daily walk in our lives. Let us be worthy of God's love and take up our cross and tell others about Jesus. That He died for our sins.We can never be the person God wants us to be, until we do what God wants us to do.Poem Following GodFollowing God that is my planI will not follow paths made by manLet us follow God, where ever He leadsHe comforts us, and always hears our pleasLet us follow God all along the wayWe will get to see our Father one grand dayLet us follow God and read His holy wordLet us tell others of His love in case they haven't heardLet us follow God all the days of our lifeLet us trust in Him, and His Son Jesus Christ

A Reason To Live

2007-03-25T12:34:00.000-07:00

Story of a woman that feels life is hopeless.

Anne was dreading to see the Christmas season come this year. She was so depressed, she had lost her husband Ben in a mining accident June 30. Just three months later her sister had died of a massive heart attack. Anne's heart was breaking, she was full of despair. She was so depressed it was all she could do to get out of bed in the mornings. Anne had to make herself go to work. Anne worked at the high school as nurse. Many times she had talked with troubled teens. Now days she just wanted to get through the day and go home to sleep. She got her doctor to prescribe pills so she could sleep at night. Anne was beginning to abuse the pills. She would take two or three so that she could go to sleep and forget her pain.One day a student named Legna came into Anne's office. She was crying uncontrollably. She told Anne she needed someone to talk to. She had just found out the night before, that her mom and dad were getting a divorce. She said it was all her fault. Legna had been dating a boy Josh her parents disliked. All her mom and dad did was fight because of this situation was fight. She went on to tell Anne that she was two months pregnant. She was now afraid to tell them about the baby. She was scared of what they might say and do. Anne's heart went out to this little girl, her whole world had been turned upside down. Anne thought how Legna's life was a lot like her own. Legna wanted Anne to help tell her parents about the baby. Legna made Anne promise not to set up the meeting until after Christmas was over.Anne never promised Legna she would help tell her parents, because Anne was making her plans for Christmas which was a week away. She would not be returning to work or anywhere for that matter. Anne was planning on committing suicide on Christmas Day. She could no longer deal with her pain and grief. She felt so alone and had nothing to live for. She was tired of existing.Christmas break came and Anne let Legna slip out of her mind. She had enough problems of her own getting thru the holidays. Christmas was fast approaching, Anne fell to her knees at her husband's grave site and begin to cry. It wouldn't be long before she would join him. This was the only thing Anne could think of. Her mind was made up, she would have her sleeping pills filled today.She would take the whole bottle and soon join Ben. Anne had her plans well thought out, at 11:00 she would take the pills. Then she would drink a glass of vodka, that should do the job. Anne no longer wanted to deal with the pain of losing her husband, best friend, her whole life was gone. Losing her husband and sister had just been to much. Anne had made the decision to join them on Christmas Eve. At 8:00p.m. Christmas Eve Anne looked out her window and seen her neighbors Christmas decorations. She begin to remember how they would decorate their tree every year. Ben would go and buy one and then they would trim it and make it glow with beauty. The memories brought tears to her eyes, she just wanted joy to fill her heart once again. To experience happiness once again in her life. Anne prayed for God to forgive her for what she was about to do. She asked God to give her a reason to go on.At 10:45 p.m. Anne prepared everything, she set all her items on her nightstand. She would take it and go to sleep and never know pain and grief anymore. At 10:55p.m. the phone rang, it was Legna. She begged Anne to come to her house, she needed help. Legna was frantic, Anne told her she was busy tonight. Legna begged Anne telling her that her dad had murdered her mom. He had then shot himself just the day before Christmas Eve. She was all alone, and Josh had dumped her. She had no one and was going to end it all. She couldn't live with not having her mom and dad, and Josh had thrown her away like an old show. At this point Anne got Legna address, she just lived about two miles away. She told Legna not to do anything , she was on her way. Anne rushed out the door and got to Legna's house in five minutes.When Anne arrived Legna was on the porch. She ran crying hysterically. Evidently, her mom had been having an affair, and her dad found out and killed her mom and then turned the gun on himself. Anne took Legna in her arms and told her ever thing would be alright. That she could come and live with her. That she would help raise the baby. Suddenly Anne felt joy in her heart, she knew what love truly meant. It meant giving of yourself.That night Anne flushed the pills and prayed thanking God for giving her a reason to live. God answered her and said " I sent you an angel her name is Legna. When Anne thought about this the next morning she realized that Legna was angel spelled back wards. She finally realized bad things happen but God still had plans for her life. He gave her a reason to go on. Anne was given a purpose to carry on, her prayer was answered in the form of a Christmas miracle.

Tempted and Tried

2007-03-25T05:53:00.000-07:00

1 Corinthians 10:13God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able; but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear.Temptations seldom come through the front door, they find a way of slipping through little cracks and open spaces that we don't pay much attention to. Many times we are tempted by satan. He tries his best to make us stumble and fall.God will always provide a way to escape satan's trap. If we will read our our bible and pray satan will not win. We must keep our eyes on Jesus, He is our greatest weapon against satan's temptations.Poem titled Tempted and TriedGod will protect us day and nightHe will show us wrong from rightGod will protect us from satan's swordOne day heaven will be our rewardGod will help us when times get toughGod will lead us when satan makes life roughGod will carry us when we are tempted and triedAll through life God will be our guideGod gave us the a light to brighten our pathJesus will light our way to we go to heaven at last

He could see his body lying on the garage floor, he could see Lisa and his neighbor watching the paramedics working on him.

Please Don't Promote Hate

2006-12-09T17:25:00.000-08:00

I am from Kentucky, we have had about three soldiers killed in Iraq in the past few months. At each of their funeral Westboro Baptist Church out of Kansas has showed up to protest at our soldiers funerals. Why you may ask? Since the government made it to where Gays could join the military they have decided to protest all the soldiers funerals possible. They are now saying that God hates certain people, they are condemning and judging others. I feel that you can stand for what is right and not judge and condemn others. If they want to stand for this cause and make a difference spread the word to all that this lifestyle is wrong. Spread it to the world and pray for them. Maybe some will see the errors of their way and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Don't make innocent families grieving for their loved ones suffer for something their family member was not a part of. I guess in part it bothered me the most that they were promoting hate. here is the website take a ook if you want to http://www.godhatesfags.com .Another thing that the group hasn't given thought to is that these soldiers gave their life fighting for this groups right to protest. How ironic. The name of their site proves that. I want us all to work together to promote God's love. That is why He sent Jesus to die on the cross. To save us all EVERYONE, If we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior and believe He is God's only Son that died on Calvary for our sins. Yes I want to stand for what is right, and I know that God never intended for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman. It is completely wrong because the bible tells me so.When I talk to others on this issue I tell them I know it wrong and tell them to read Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.So when asked about this subject I will refer them to the bible, I will not judge them. I will try to encourage them to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Because in Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 7:2 For with what judement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again..I will let God do the judging, and I will promote the love of Jesus for all, and pray that many will turn from their sins and accept Jesus into their heart.Poem titled Good News Jesus Loves YouGood News Jesus Loves YouGood news Jesus loves youHe loves you no matter what you doJesus loves us even if we are sinnersIf we invite Jesus in, He will come in and have dinnerWith Jesus your soul shall be filled For your salvation you will never be billedGood news Jesus died for our sins on the crossHe arose and went to Heaven, to save the lossGood news Jesus loves you and meHe loved us so much, He died to set us freeGood news Jesus loves you, no matter what the time of dayIf you accept Jesus, by your side He will always stayGood news Jesus loves you, in good times and badJesus is the best friend I’ve ever hadGood news Jesus loves you, be saved and on Him believeJesus is always with you, He will never leave please visit my site http://www.freewebs.com/mtdm/

THE LORD IS COMING SOON

2005-09-18T16:31:00.000-07:00

The end of time is almost at hand
Do you believe in Jesus have you followed His commands?

Has Jesus knocked at your hearts door? Did you let Him in so one day you will see Heaven'
shore?
Or did His pleas did you ignore?

Have you heard the word of God in detail?
Jesus' love is free because He paid the ultimate price for our sins, to be saved is a gift it is not for sale

Jesus will be coming in the twinkling of an eye
He will be coming through the clouds in the sky

Will you be ready, will you want to rejoice?
Will you be excited to hear the Master's voice?

I can't wait to see Him in that hour
When over the Earth our Lord will tower

Every tongue shall confess that He is King and Lord of all
I'm so excited I'll be glad when Jesus calls

I pray that those who are lost will accept Jesus as their Savior
and repent and rejoice that they have been saved
and praise the Lord for such a precious gift that He gave

ONLY GOD KNOWS

2005-09-15T08:44:00.000-07:00

God has plans for you
By His healing power you can make it through

God has a purpose for you that we do not know
He can heal your body and his purpose for you in time He will show

By God's healing power a miracle can be received
He has done it many times before and if in His power we will believe

Your life is in God's hands
He can heal your body or He will deliver you to the promise land

At this time I will focus on you getting better
and that we will make the trip to see you so we can all be together

I'm praying to God He knows what will happen today
The Lord can provide a miracle if to Him we will pray

God holds you in His hands to heal you He has the power
We have to put our faith in God everything will be okay if we place our faith there

PRAYER IS NOT A CRIME

2005-09-15T08:33:00.000-07:00

Prayer is not a crime
Give some people a chance and it will be in time

We must pray to God to keep us safe
And believe in His only Son Jesus Christ and keep the faith

If prayer be a crime then I will soon be convicted by the enemies sword
I will keep on praying and hold on to Jesus and Heaven will one day be my reward

If prayer becomes a crime they can't make me stop praying I will hold onto my belief
Because one day in Heaven I will find relief

We need to put God's name back into America's schools,documents, and courtrooms
Or God is going to think our country has turned it's back on Him that is what he will assume

My religious freedoms are being taken away
My belief in God and His only Son are here to stay

Those who are trying to remove prayer and God from everyones life
Will soon be comsumed by Satan' knife

Thank you Lord

2005-09-14T16:21:00.000-07:00

I'll thank the Lord for the morning sun
and be thankful that another day has begun

I'll thank Him for the wonderful husband that He has given me
A love so real that was meant to be

Together the Lord gave us Laura
He knew we would always love and adore her

God has shined many blessings on our life
One of the most precious gifts was the day we became man and wife

The gift of love when He gave us a child
We thank you Lord and in your love we will always abide

All your blessings we greatly receive
and all our life in you we will believe

NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

2005-09-14T16:14:00.000-07:00

Time has went by so fast where it went I don't know
I let so much time pass and you had to go

You were gone before I could say the words that were in my heart
Now they will go unspoken because from us you had to depart

You played an important part of my life from my younger day till I was grown
How I wish all these thing I'd let you known

You were so special because you are the mother of my best friend
From the moment you met me you said come on in

I'll miss you greatly you will never know how much
and with your passing with everyone I love I will keep in touch

Of tomorrow we have no promise we only have today
Because the Lord can come any moment and take us away
