  People are willing to meet each other halfway, but their judgments of distances vary considerably. Man's problem rises from the fact that he has not only lost the way, but he has lost the address. Nicolas Berdyaev "Don't ask the Lord to guide your footsteps unless you are willing to move your feet." Stress is what happens when we try to impose our will on life. -- Karl Schmidt Make your life a mission - not an intermission. - Arnold Glasgow "Sacrifice in the Bible means that we give to God the best we have; it is the finest form of worship. Sacrifice is not giving up things, but giving to God with joy the best we have." -- Oswald Chambers "Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble." - Psalm 119:165 Every day every Christian must choose among progression, digression, and retrogression. If you are tired of the load of your sin, let Jesus come into your heart. A shady business never produces a sunny life.

Think hard....most of these sayings can be related to a Bible verse. :) *********** My father called it Horse Sense : Don't name a pig you plan to eat. Country fences need to be horse high, pig tight, and bull strong. Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce. Keep skunks and lawyers at a distance. Life is simpler when you plow around the stumps. A bumble bee is faster than a John Deere tractor. Trouble with a milk cow is she won't stay milked Don't skinny dip with snapping turtles. Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled. Meanness don't happen overnight. To know how country folks are doing, look at their barns, not their houses. Never lay an angry hand on a kid or an animal, it just ain't helpful. Teachers, Moms, and hoot owls sleep with one eye open. Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads. Don't sell your mule to buy a plow. Two can live as cheap as one if one don't eat. Don't corner s

"Then He spoke many things to them in parables,saying: "Behold, a sower went out to sow" Mat 13:3 "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase" 1 Cor 3:6-7 I was a farmer today. I may have been turning fallow ground, preparing it for planting. I may have planted seed, ready to sprout when someone else comes by to water. I may have watered seeds already sown. I may have pulled weeds that were wanting to choke out the new plants. I may have poured water on a parched, drought stricken field, bringing new life to nearly dead plants. I just might have harvested the results of others' efforts. I was a farmer today. I may not know the results of today's labor on this side of heaven, but, I can sleep tonight knowing that a couple who claim to have once been Christians have heard again the Good News that Jesus wants to redeem them. I will be able to stand befo

I can master it," said the Ax. His blows fell heavy on the hard, strong steel. But each blow only made his edge more blunt until he ceased to strike. "Leave it to me," said the Saw. With his relentless teeth, he worked back and forth. But to his dismay, all of his teeth were worn out or broken off. "Ha!" said the Hammer. "I knew you could not do this. Let me show you how." But with the very first blow, his head flew off, and the steel was unchanged. "Shall I try?" asked the Flame. And it curled itself gently around the strong, hard steel, embraced it, and would not let it go. And the tough steel melted. There are hearts that are hard enough to resist the forces of wrath and the fury of pride. But hard is the heart that can resist the warm flame of Love. "'For this people's heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears,

Whatever our hands touch- We leave fingerprints! On walls, on furniture On doorknobs, dishes, books. There's no escape. As we touch we leave our identity. Oh God, wherever I go today Help me leave heartprints! Heartprints of compassion Of understanding and love. Heartprints of kindness And genuine concern. May my heart touch a lonely neighbor Or a runaway daughter Or an anxious mother Or perhaps an aged grandfather. Lord, send me out today To leave heartprints. And if someone should say, "I felt your touch," May that one sense YOUR LOVE Touching through ME .

An unknown author penned these words: I asked God to take away my pride. God said, "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up." I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, "No. Her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary." I asked God to grant me patience. God said, "No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned." I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No. I give you blessings, happiness is up to you." I asked God to spare me pain. God said, "No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me." I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, "No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful." I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, "No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things." I asked God to help me love others, as much as God loves me. God said... "Ahhhh,

Our Father which art in heaven," --- Yes? "Don't interrupt me. I'm praying" --- But you called me "Called you? I didn't call you. I'm praying. 'Our Father which art in heaven," --- There you did it again "Did what?" -- Called me. You said, "Our Father which art in heaven." Here I am. What's on your mind? "But I didn't mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord's Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like getting a duty done." --- All right. Go on. "Hallowed be Thy name." --- Hold it. What do you mean by that? "By what?" --- By "Hallowed be Thy name?" "It means. It means .... Good grief, I don't know what it means. How should I know? It's just a part of the prayer. By the way, what does it mean?" ---It means honored, holy, wonderful. "Hey that makes sense. I never thought about what 'hallowed

There was once a man who had nothing for his family to eat. He had an old shotgun and three bullets. So, he decided that he would go out and kill something to eat for dinner. As he went down the road, he saw a rabbit and he shot at the rabbit and missed it. Then he saw a squirrel and fired a shot at the squirrel and missed it. As he went further, he saw a wild turkey in the tree and he had only one bullet, but a voice came to him and said "pray first, aim high and stay focused." However, at the same time, he saw a deer which was a better kill. He brought the gun down and aimed at the deer. But, then he saw a rattlesnake between his legs about to bite him - so he naturally brought the gun down further to shoot the rattlesnake. Still, the voice said again to him, "I said 'Pray first, aim high and stay focused.'" So, the man decided to follow the voice. He prayed, then aimed the gun high up in the tree and shot the wild turkey. The bullet bounced off the turkey

DEAR GOD: I want to thank You for what you have already done. I am not going to wait until I see results or receive rewards; I am thanking you right now. I am not going to wait until I feel better or things look better; I am thanking you right now.

I am not going to wait until the journey gets easier or the challenges are removed; I a

"God Said No" I asked God to take away my habit. God said, "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up." I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, "No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary." I asked God to grant me patience. God said, "No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned." I asked God to give me happiness. God said, "No.  I give you blessings; happiness is up to you." I asked God to spare me pain. God said, "No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me." I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, "No. You must grow on your own but I will prune you to make you fruitful." I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, "No.  I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things." I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said, "Ahhhh, finally yo

This is beautiful! Try not to cry. She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?" The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it." Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?" The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university." Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. "Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally. The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the Universi

There are usually only a handful of people who truly make an indelible imprint on the pages of our lives. One of those people for me was a lady by the name of Shirley. She was one of those rare souls whose life was characterized by a giving nature and many selfless acts of love. When I spoke with her, she made me feel as if I were the most important person in the world. Whatever happened to be on my heart at the time was of utmost importance to her. She always had time to listen. She was so loved within the community. In fact, it was well known among her family and friends that whenever her kitchen light was burning, all who needed a friendly ear or an impartial voice were more than welcome to come in and join her. It mattered not what time of day or night it was, she always had a fresh pot of coffee brewing and an attentive ear waiting as she invited you to sit with her at the kitchen table. Many of my girlfriends from high school would go and visit with her. They knew she had lots of

To fully appreciate the invisible kingdom government, we must realize that the idea of “kingdom” didn’t originate on earth with the ancient civilizations of Babylon and Egypt. It didn’t come from earth at all. The concept of kingdom is rooted in the desire of the Creator to design and sustain both the unseen and seen realms in order to express, represent, and manifest his nature. Ideas are one of the most powerful forces in existence. We see how the greatest ideas transcend generations and serve as the source of people’s creative activity and the motivation for their productivity. Ideas are the starting point of all that is created. An idea becomes a full-fledged, viable concept when it is envisioned and executed. The concept of an ideal kingdom is so beautiful that only a Creator-King of a certain nature could have envisioned and established it. We need to understand the King and kingdom out of which we come. The word king refers to the person or personality who influences and oversee

You Never Hear in Church Hey! It's MY turn to sit on the front pew! I was so enthralled, I never noticed your sermon went over time 25 minutes. Personally, I find witnessing much more enjoyable than golf. I've decided to give our church the $500.00 a month I used to send to TV evangelists. I volunteer to be the permanent teacher for the Junior High Sunday School class. Forget the denominational minimum salary: let's pay our pastor so she/he can live like we do. I love it when we sing hymns I've never heard before! Since we're all here, let's start the worship service early! Pastor, we'd like to send you to this Bible seminar in the Bahamas. Author is Unknown The Oil Find Two old friends met one day after many years. One attended college, and now was very successful. The other had not attended college and never had much ambition. The successful one said, "How has everything been going with you?" "Well, one day I opened the Bible at random, and

Good Morning, Lord! or Good Lord, It's Morning! by Joyce Meyer Which of these phrases do you utter to yourself most mornings? Do you greet each day with an expectant, positive attitude about what the day holds, or do you feel like pulling the blankets over your head, dreading what awaits you outside your front door? We must combat the dread that tempts us to stay in bed by keeping a positive attitude and mindset. Our attitude is so important to how we feel each day. The kind of day we have is, to a great degree, determined by our thoughts and actions. If we dwell on negative thoughts, expecting the worst, our actions will reflect those thoughts. It’s impossible to reach your God-given destiny if you allow negative thoughts to fill your mind. Dread is a close relative of fear, and allowing it to remain in your mind, sets you up for misery and robs you of joy. Once, I experienced a feeling of dread as we were planning our trip to speak in India. I was excited about the wonderful oppo

How can I willingly invest in people, knowing they are going to let me down, hurt me, or die? Is it worth it to set myself up for all that pain and rejection? Unless...I've had it all wrong. All the times I've waited for people to live up to my hopes and expectations--friends, kids, parents, and husband--maybe those people aren't here for me. Maybe I'm supposed to be here for them. Just maybe God put me in their lives to help them and teach them, and not to get focused on what I want or what I get out of the relationship. Maybe they're not capable of giving any more than they do, because, like me, they're operating out of empty places. “Maybe I'm supposed to be here for them.”And when I turn it around like this, I should expect to be let down, but that's okay, because I know where to go to get picked back up and filled up. And I can love a little bit recklessly, without fear of rejection; because my hope isn't in these people...my hope is in the plac

Do you remember the woman who tried to touch the hem of Jesus garment? It was not the touch of her hand that brought healing – it was the touch of her faith. When the woman touched the hem of the Lord’s garment, He felt virtue go out of Him and said, “Who touched me?” And Peter said, “Lord, many are touching you.” But Jesus said, “No, someone touched me.” There were many hands touching Him in the natural, but only one woman touched Him in faith. You say, “How do I touch Him?” You touch Him with your trust, when you depend on Him. It’s so simple. So simple. You can lean on the Lord today. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord, He is mighty to save, deliver and heal. Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will

withThe first thing God asks of any believer is to offer himself or herself up as a sacrifice. And even when you say, "Yes, Lord, I will die to myself," the battle is just beginning. Sanctification, which means "increasing participation in His death," signifies that we voluntarily offer our life on the cross and throw ourselves in full dependence upon the Lord. It took Abraham nearly a hundred years to sacrifice himself on the altar of God's perfect will. It took Moses eighty years to reach the point where he was able to set himself aside in order for God the Father to use him to free an entire nation from slavery and death. It took the apostle Paul fourteen or more years to reach this point after being struck down by a blinding light on the road to Damascus. He had to go to the desert of Arabia to seek God's face. He had to go through torture and disappointment. Eventually, he was able to say, "I am crucified Christ." The Holy Spirit used Paul'

On Sunday morning during service, a 2000 man congregation was surprised to see two men enter both covered from head to toe in black and carrying submarine guns, one of the men proclaimed "anyone ready to take a bullet for Christ should remain where you are" Immediately, the choir fled, the deacons fled, and most of the congregations fled out of the 2000 they only remained 20 the men who have spoken took off his hood, Looked at the preacher and said "ok pastor I got rid of all the hypocrites "now you may begin your service have a nice day. And the two men walked out. Funny how easy it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world is in the position it is today... Funny how we believe what the newspaper says and question what the bible says... Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say or do anything the bible says, funny or is it scary... Funny how someone can say I believe in God and still follow satan who b

Inspired by the Holy Ghost,  written by channelofhealing Authors I woke up today and I asked my Daddy (God the Father , Jesus the Son and Holy Spirit), What the topic was for the day; at first I didn’t get a reply but when I went back to my Daddy and, asked again because I was really itching to blog. I heard the voice of the Lord tell me to write about “FAITH”. And I was like oh my God! Faith! where do I start from? When I knew I have been battling with my faith for sometime now. Even though I used to have so much faith in God all my life; but for some time now I found myself doubting Gods word for my life and struggling with my faith and almost crashing emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. You might say how? but I consider myself so unqualified to write about faith because, I have not actually been a pillar of faith myself. In recent times, I struggle almost daily with faith and when my Daddy told me to write about it, I was so frightened and I felt a little guilty becaus

FOR COUPLES AND INTENDING ONES.... When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. "I want a divorce!" I raised the topic calmly.She didn't seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, "Why"? I avoided her question. This made her angry. She threw away the chopsticks and shouted at me, you are not a man! That night, we didn't talk to each other. She was weeping. I knew she wanted to find out what had happened to our marriage. But I could hardly give her a satisfactory answer; she had lost my heart to a lovely girl called Dew. I didn't love her anymore. I just pitied her!With a deep sense of guilt, I drafted a divorce agreement which stated that she could own our house, our car, and 30% stake of my company.She gla

Recognizing God’s Voice God has truly gifted my dear friend Jentezen Franklin as a powerful Bible teacher. That was never more evident than when he sat with me in the This Is Your Day! studio and poured out what the Lord has been showing him concerning hearing the voice of God—all of which he has written in his book Right People, Right Place, Right Plan. The longer I live, the more I realize that discerning God’s voice and plan are among the most critical things you can discover. But how are you able to distinguish God’s voice? How do you know if it is God’s voice, your voice, or even the enemy’s voice? How do you know if you should marry this person or that one, which job to take, or where to live? Your Spiritual Compass Jentezen related how the compass was discovered. In China, people would take a melted piece of iron, drop it on a leaf in water, and the leaf would invariably turn, always pointing in the same direction. This invention took place years before the Bible was written. No

JACOBS WELL traditions holds that it was at this well that Jesus christ spoke with the Samaritan woman about true worship. John 4:6-15 6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and

ANNOINTING OIL Any priest serving in the tabernacle had to be annointed for that by the High Priest Exodus 29:21 21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him. THE SACRED BREASTPLATE The High priest wore the sacred breastplate with twelve gems inscribed with the name of the tribes of Isreal Exodus 28:4 4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. THE OUTTER COURTS The tabernacle was an elaborate system of tents and portable items, designed to be carried through the desert and set up when the people and encamped. whereever they dec
