Let's start this new year remembering our orders. Love God with all your heart, and love others as He loves us! No small duty to be sure, and it will take all year to fulfill, then the next year, and the next....

Greetings in the Comforting Name of Jesus Christ,
Well, the Summer is gone, and Autumn is upon us! I love the Autumn, always have, but I am not really sure why. I love the colors of the leaves as they turn on the trees, and I love to hear the rustle of the leaves that have fallen as they are walked through! I love the fragrance of those leaves as they decay. When I think of Autumn, I think of life, the end of life. These things that are dying have served their purpose for the time they had allotted to them. Do we seize the same opportunity? Do we serve our purpose for the time allotted us? I have a friend who tirelessly helps young men who have need of council and direction. It is his purpose, and he knows it, and he follows that purpose. Ask God what your purpose is, then do it...before your Autumn!
May God Richly Bless You All.

Greetings in the Comforting Name of Jesus Christ,
Recently I read an article concerning the murder of a young girl. The parents are devastated, but the mother moreso. The daughter was a believer, the mother was not. One day the mother went for a walk in the woods, and while there she broke down and angrily yelled at God. "I told her she could trust you!" When she was done, she clearly heard God's reply. "You will see her again", was God's answer. The woman left the woods with a new faith in God. I see another point here. God will NEVER leave you standing alone, ever. He is always with you, no matter what the outcome of any situation!
God's word says, "I am with you always, even unto the end of the age."
May God Richly Bless You Always!

Greetings in the Omnipresent Name of Jesus Christ!
Wow, time flies, huh? Here we are at the end of July already! It hasn't been a great summer, weatherwise, so I've been thinking about some of the summers gone by, and wishing. I'd like to go back to some of those summers and experience them again! BUT, being human means we can only enjoy the linear life moving forward. God, on the other hand, can be anyplace at anytime! I wonder what that would be like! Can you imagine being able to go and look at your past? Would we be able to fix our 'mistakes', do things over and have a different outcome? It is our life experiences that make us who we are, that cause us to appreciate what God has given us! We make future decisions based on what God has taught us in the past. Correct your past, and all would be undone! Thus, we can see God's wisdom in creating us to live in one direction! Incidentally, that one direction will lead us right to the throne of God himself! AWESOME!
Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths straight."

A submission from Dusty Wilbur:
THE BLOOD OF JESUS
One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution.
But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children. It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son.
The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans..
This is when the problems began. You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son. T he church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.
As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past. As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.
He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this: "My fiancïe's past is not what is on trial here.. What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"
The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters. Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely. If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.
What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."
Psalm 55:23
There is no cost but a lot of rewards, let's continue to pray for one another.
"Father, I ask you to bless my friends, relatives and email buddies reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask you to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them your peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, release a renewed confidence through your grace.
In Jesus' precious name.
Amen
