Greetings All!

Greetings in the Enriching Name of Jesus Christ! Growing up in my family meant taking part in housekeeping. We all had our chores to complete, and our work was inspected by our parents. When our work wasn't up to expected standards, we had a chance to correct the issue. Success meant payment of our weekly allowance! Our eyes were on the prize; our allowance provided a means to buy our treasures! As believers in Jesus Christ, we should no longer keep our eyes on earthly treasures. Our treasures are laid up in Heaven, awaiting our arrival. Matthew 6:19-21 tells us not to store up treasures for ourselves here on Earth, where they can be destroyed or stolen; but to store our treasures in Heaven, where it cannot be destroyed or stolen. "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." We will be with our savior in Heaven some day. Keep your eyes on the prize! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All, My Beloved.

Greetings in the Strengthening Name of Jesus Christ! I recently watched a television documentary on bodybuilders. Those competing for titles were interviewed, and they all had one thing in common; start with the little things, and work your way up. So it is with those of us who follow Jesus. At the beginning, you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour. Following that, you need to grow. Start with the little things; read the Gospel, pray, and listen to those God puts in your path. After some time, you'll begin to notice you are gaining strength. As you continue, that strength builds, preparing you and keeping you strong throughout your walk. Eventually, you will be telling others the Good News of Jesus Christ, with the strength of the Lord in you! Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all this through Him who gives me strength." Isaiah 40:29 says, "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." Praise God! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings All!

Greetings in the Giving Name of Jesus Christ! There is nearly nothing on Earth which every person can personalize, except music. Music conducts us through joyful times, and through times of grief; through hard times, and times of ease; through times of love, and times when we suffer loss of love. Music needs no translation to be understood; indeed, musicians speak every world language, without words. Music connects us all. Music is a gift from God, it comes from the soul. He gives music to us, that we may use it to reach others, and, more so, to worship! James 5:13 says, "Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms." Psalms 71:23 says, "My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed." Ephesians 5:19 says, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the lord..." Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All, My Beloved!

Greetings All!

Greetings in the Risen Name of Jesus Christ! World events are increasingly violent, and it is NOT going to get better! That said, you need to secure your position in eternity. The ONLY position you need is faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, sent to die for our sins, and to be resurrected to secure our salvation! The Roman Catholic ways will not save you, the Muslim ways will not save you, the Mormon ways will not save you, nor will the ways of the Jehovah's Witness, Buddhism, Hari Krishna, Confucianism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Shinto, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. Why is this? Because ONLY Jesus was resurrected! The founders of EVERY OTHER faith are still in their graves, dead in their sin, and will one day be judged by God and sent to hell. Do not wait! If you are still searching for salvation, seek Christ! If you are saved already, tell others of God's promise! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings All!

Greetings in the Name of the Truth, Which is Jesus Christ! Did you know that Jesus spoke of hell, often? Hell is a very real place that was never designed for the human spirit to dwell therein. Hell was designed for Satan and his followers. Satan knows if we do not follow the salvation plan of Jesus, we will end up in hell with him; that's his plan. Jesus said it is a place of "weeping, and gnashing of teeth". (Matthew 25:30) "Where the fire never goes out" (Mark 9:43) "Everlasting torment" (Revelation 20:10) Jesus gives us these descriptions, not only for our realization, but so we know what those unsaved souls will go through, for eternity. Thus, we have been given a directive to go and preach the Gospel to all. I certainly won't be in hell, and neither will you, if you've accepted Jesus Christ as your savior. Now lets make sure everyone else knows there is a salvation plan for them too! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Ever Listening Name of Jesus Christ, We are all in need of prayer, always. Praying is our direct line to God. What ever is on your mind, whatever need you have, whatever heartbreak you are living through, whatever you are thankful for, should be given to God in prayer. But when? Good question! Some folks pray in the morning, some in the evening, and others utter prayers whenever they feel it is needed. There is never a wrong time to pray. But, what does the Word say? 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, "Pray without ceasing". Think about that! How does one pray without ceasing? Answer: Pray about everything. This doesn't mean you need to utter a long, drawn out prayer all day long. It means, simply, talking to God. Just talk. Prayer is an address to God; talking to God. He is always listening to His children! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Ever Present Name of Jesus Christ! "Where do you go to church?" Very often I hear this question being asked, and it has been asked of me. If you are a believer in the salvation gift of Christ, then YOU are the church, along with all believers. Church buildings are just that; buildings. The home we meet in is a church building. The restaurant we meet in is a church building. Any building in which we meet is a church building. God's word says anytime two or more meet, HE is there! (Matthew 18:20) Where we meet is not important; THAT we meet, is. Praise God! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Gracious name of Jesus Christ! For Catholics world wide, Mary is the mother of Jesus, thus worthy of worship and reverence. It is important to know that Mary, although the mother of Jesus, was just as human as you and I. She married Joseph, and had other children. She was a sinner, as are we, who realized she needed the salvation of Christ, just as we do. God's commandments tell us not to worship any idols, we are to worship God, and God alone. John 14:6 tells us that no one goes to the Father, except through Christ. Praying to Mary is satan's deception. Praying to Mary is worshipping an idol, and that is a sin. Thankfully, if we confess our sins, through God's grace, we are saved! Mary knew this! Now is the Time to Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Omnipotent Name of Jesus Christ! We all know loved ones that are walking in a dark valley. Some overshadowed by situations they created, others by situations out of their control. We've all been there at one point, or another, in life. Sometimes, from our point of view, it looks bleak and hopeless, but we serve an omnipotent God! God already sees the outcome, and He is there to reassure us we are not walking alone! The Word says He will never leave us, nor forsake us! God knows our troubles. God hears our prayers. Trust in our God, who has seen the beginning and the end of all. The situation may not turn out as we wish, but God will be with us always! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Loving Name of Jesus Christ! What is LOVE? Love is...sacrifice. When you love, you stop thinking about yourself. You start thinking about her/him, and realize what they want is more important than what you want. You work towards that realization. The SECRET of love is this...BOTH people must feel the SAME way. A monogamous relationship never works otherwise. BUT, there is a bigger LOVE. It's called Agape love. It is sacrifice for the LOVE one has for mankind. It is the sacrifice, in LOVE, Jesus offered for us, on the cross. Where could mankind be if we LOVE one another? Love one another as you love yourself. Selah. Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You, My Beloved!

Greetings in the Relieving Name of Jesus Christ! We've all seen the statue of Atlas, the strong man bearing the Earth upon his shoulders. Such a burden! As human beings, we all gather and bear burdens along our way. They weigh us down, take up our attention, and eventually control us. As believers in God, Satan knows burdens of guilt and sin will keep us from being focused on God. We begin to feel unworthy of God's love. But God's word say He carries our burdens! Psalm 68:19 - "Praise be to the Lord, to God our savior, who daily bears our burdens." God bears our burdens, daily; we need only praise Him! Do not let Satan convince you that you must trudge on under the weight of any burden. Give it to God! Now is the Time to Worship! May God Richly Bless You All, My Beloved!

Greetings in the One and Only Name of Jesus Christ! I recently read a post, on a social network, that defended the practice of praying to Mary, the mother of Jesus. For many, Mary is the intercessor between themselves and Jesus. The bible tells us that we shall not make any graven image, we shall not bow down to it. (Exodus 20:4,5) The bible also says Jesus Christ is the only way to God, and salvation. (John 14:6) Mary was human, and she is dead. Mary cannot answer your prayers, nor can she intercede on your behalf. Jesus Christ is the only way! Now is the Time for Worship! May God Richly Bless You All.

Greetings All!

Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ, On November 6th, 2015, I retired from my job of 31 years. I had looked forward to that date for some time, with eagerness. But, before I could retire, plans had to be made. I needed to be sure I had savings for my wife and I to live on, as well as distribution plans should something happen to me. I also had to train a replacement, and be sure they knew what was coming. Someday, we will face death. This is a certainty. We need to be ready for that day. We need to get our affairs in order so we will know what comes next. How do we do this? We set up our retirement plans with Jesus Christ. He has offered us the best possible retirement plan, when he died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day. All we have to do is ask him to include us! Retirement will come, that is certain. Be ready! Now is the time for worship! May God Richly Bless You!
