My Dad fought in the Korean War. He was shot in the back by a sniper. Everyday, since my earliest childhood memory, I remember my Dad rising up in pain.
He would grab a pair of crutches and go to work.
I’ve never been in a war, my eye site is bad. I wanted to join during Vietnam but, no go . . .
Our nation has seen war, my uncles were in WW2 and came home; many did not.
I don’t know why wars are fought but, Ive known I have seen brave men and women that have gone and died, for one reason FREEDOM!
From the Civil War to Desert Storm, we have seen and know that good people died for their country.
Let,s remember the cost of our freedom.
Lord, help us this day to not forget those who have gone before us! Amen!!!

I’ve been on a quest, I have asked certain questions to people, to hear and see their response.
We have been talking about certain people, who from child birth have been taught a certain way as we have been.
But the teachings have been in them longer. Yet we are bewildered when they do a certain thing, that’s all they know.
I have a friend from this certain people and he has come to know Jesus as Savior.
What brought him to Jesus was the resolve and life commitment of one man.
It does not matter who you are, the lifestyle you live speaks volumes.
How committed are you, does your lifestyle portray Christ?
How resolved are you? Are you willing to die for Him?
The problem, people profess to be a Christian but in actuality they just belong to church and not Christ!
I know we all have problems and we are not perfect, we’ll never be here. But I’m asking a question, whom do you serve?
Lord, break our hearts, do whatever it takes to get us to the place we need to be in Youe Kingdom. Amen!!!!!!!

I am amazed how we as Christians have taken the word of God and rationalized it to fit our needs.
I have talked to four different people from four different backgrounds about a certain subject.
It’s simple to me, take the word of God at face value.
Instead, we have intellectualized it tell we have watered down the word.
As time goes on, man attempts to socialize the word till it acceptable, while in actuality Jesus said, I have come to bring a sword
We are to follow Him and my friend, being a Christian is not socially susceptible. We want to be nice so everyone will like us but Jesus said, they HATED Me!!!!!!!!!!
Yes our Christianity is one of love, on this I agree but, are we to forget His teachings and be love dove with all.
We are to be separate, what does light have to do with darkness?
God tells the Israelites not to mingle with certain people, that’s because they believed in another god.
I believe in Jehovah, I believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God. I will try and conduct myself in the way He would want me. I will love my enemies but, I will not compromise His word!
Lord, help us to adhere to Your word as it was meant to be. Help us interpreter as You have intended!! Amen!!!!!!!!

Humanity is on a downward spiral. Since the beginning of time and man disobeyed God, man has been sliding down.
We have seen the worst of man in my lifetime of Hitler, he massacred millions; all in the name of ethnic cleansing.
We have seen the degeneration of man and his morals.
I know that in this life all I can leave my children is the believe in God, who hold all in His hands.
I remember when a R rated movie was an abomination to the church and now PG is worse, to entice our youth.
It’s time for the church as a whole to stand together and voice her opinion.
It’s not that I’m against all movies or certain things. I’m just at the point that I’m disgusted at the sleepiness of most Christians in living a life of complacency.
Lord, wake us up and slap us in the face if need be! Give to us a spirit of expectancy, to believe you CAN and WILL do what You said!! Amen!!!

Who is God to you? To some He may be a myth. To another He may be a place of safety.
I’m not here to convince you, I just would like to tell you who He is to me.
He is my Father, I am His. I am nothing He is everything. He picked me up from a place of darkness and filled my life with light.
He is the creator of all things, He brings order where there is disorder.
My life was placed here on this earth for one true purpose, that is to worship Him in all I do and say.
Sometimes, I grow weary but, I know His joy is my strength. I may falter but, He is there with out stretched arms to steady me.
Who is He to you, won't you give yourself to Him and let go of all the stuff you’re holding on to, it’s no going to last anyway.
Lord, we bow our knees to you greatness and undying love, take us into your arms and surround us in your love that lasts forever! Amen!!!!!!

As Christians, we are not supposed to worry about tomorrow. Worrying is a tactic the enemy uses to paralyze our faith but let’s be real, sometimes we worry
The other day, I chatted on face book with a charming young lady. On her profile picture, was a stunning picture of her shooting a semi- automatic gun.
She had grown up in Nicaragua . Her life was one of hardship. A life of survival hardship and true sacrifice
I believe it would do us all good to really understand a little bit of hardship and sacrifice!
Who is our true deliverer anyway? Are our eyes fixed on the temporal or the eternal anyway?
Imagine, a world of survival! Were you never know if today a bullet has your name marked on it!
Lord, make us battle ready and help us to keep our eyes fixed on you, our true Rock! Amen!!!!!!!!!!

I believe in God, I love my pastor but, where is the miracles that shall follow them that believe.
Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, I believe we have made a ritual of it. The 120 in the upper room stayed and sought the promise of the Helper!
To meet in one room for several days was risky, it could have meant their lives; yet they still stayed
When He came, there was evidence; wind and fiery tongues. Peter preached with a boldness he had never know.
There were healings and conversions, signs we should be seeing
I don’t know about you but, I pray for my pastors. I want to see the things of the supernatural, conversions and healings!
Not to be in awe of the healing but, the Healer!
We must be so in love with Him, nothing compares! Our lives must display a trust and believe that runs to our core!
There is power, I have seen it, we all must expect it before it can happen.
Lord, our faith to expect is low, we need it filled up! Please release your miraculous, so unbelievers will confess and true revival will break out in this land. Amen!!!!!!
