"This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it"
Psalm 118:24.

This morning i would ask you to look around..and you dont have to look far...read the paper...watch the news...can we agree that the world is pretty screwed up? When we look at the vast majority of people can we agree that to some extent to pretty much totally...that morals and values...just a good standard of living has taken a back seat or has flown right out the window. Do you sometimes to often say...it cant get much worse then something happens that leaves you shaking your head in disbelief...like the ole saying goes...just when you think it cant get much worse...Look Out! So lets stop and think on all this because as we know...there is some really bad stuff going on not only in the world...but also here in the United States..where we are suppose to be a nation that is not only held at a higher standard by the world...we are suppose to be a nation under God. So whats the problem..it all comes down to a little three letter word...SIN! Now folks...for those of us that are born-again...we should know this...and of course the unsaved world...im pretty sure they dont have a clue. We have to remember that the world has always been pretty screwed up...i mean...it got so bad at one point...God sent a flood and killed the entire world except for eight people and a ark full of animals. And when you look at history...both of the Bible and secular world...humans have spent massive amounts of time and effort killing each other...all the way back to the beginning of creation when Adam and Eves son Cain killed his brother Abel. So heres the deal...this ole world aint gonna get no better...we can open the good book...the Bible...and it tells us very plain and simply that things are going to get worse just as in those days of Noah...and God is going to this next time...destroy this ole world we are living on...the heavens and the earth...once and for all. But there is hope for everyone...and that is by and thru the person of Jesus Christ. Remember...all of us...yes even us folks that profess to be born-again believers...we all lived in sin before we accepted Jesus into our life. We all use to be part of the problem before our day of salvation...right? And actually we are still part of the problem because we also still sin from time to time...right? So the next time you find yourself shaking your head in disbelief at something that has just happened...remember...its a little three letter word...SIN...and it aint going away until we step foot into the heaven where the saints dwell today or on the new heaven / earth once God creates that...where sin will be no more...thats why heaven is going to be perfect...no more Sin and we will be sinless without pride or ego in our new glorified bodies for all eternity...that be FOREVER!

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.

2 Timothy 4:3-4
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Think youve got your ticket to heaven punched? Think because you prayed a little prayer and maybe felt all warm and fuzzy that you can still do what you want to do and everything will be ok? What does this scripture mean to you? "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come"(2 Corinthians 5:17). Do you act one way around your saved friends and another way around your unsaved friends? Meaning...does your daily life reflect Jesus. When you witness to unsaved family and friends are they thinking...hummm...whats the big deal...you do the same things i do. Is this your life? In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.(Matthew 5:16). You do witness to unsaved family and friends...right? Do you live your life everyday sitting on the fence just going with the flow of the moment as to right and wrong? What does this scripture mean to you? Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.(John 3:36). Do you profess to be a born-again believer but when you really look at your lifestyle on a daily basis you see as much of the world...sin...as you do some sort of righteousness? Do you understand what this verse is saying? “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers!’(Matthew 7:21-23). Are you good at talking the talk but not so good at walking the walk. Do you know there is a big difference in calling yourself a christian and actually being truly born again. Thought for the day...when this body of ours dies...our soul leaves it right then right there and we step foot into eternity. Heaven or hell...for forever...there are no do-overs after we die...where are you headed?

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Romans 12:1-2

To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

Any gospel that is not the gospel of grace is not the true gospel. You can’t beg it. You can’t buy it. You can’t borrow it. You can’t steal it. You can’t earn it. It was bought by Christ on the cross. It is the supernatural work of God.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

..Ok...i can already hear a few boos and hisses...but so be it. Do we remember back when cell phones were popular enough that a great deal of the population had them...teens and adults alike. And...we had the added advantage of the internet on the cell phone. And as adults..we often sat in wonder...why and how the teenagers could sit and spend so much time on the phone talking and texting and on web sites...especially...social media. And it was to our amazement how these teens...could be in a room full of other teens and basically there would be no real conversation between them as they were texting other people in other places..and actually...texting people in the same room. We could not comprehend what was happening to the young folks with this devise straight from satan! Ok...now lets fast forward to present day...let us look in the mirror as the adults we are...how much time do we now spend on our cell phones? I mean..outside of business..our work. Do we now look like those teenagers we use to shake our heads at? Heres the thing...my point. In todays world...a vast number of humans can be with you..but they just as well be quite far away as the cell phone dominates the time. In the middle of conversation with the person or persons with you...talking on the phone and texting and surfing the web prevents any real person to person...heart to heart time. And as born-again believers...followers of Jesus...Gods servants...should we not be in the present...looking for and talking with...the people that are in our here and now. Looking for people that are hurting...ministering to their needs. Looking for opportunities to share the name of Jesus to everyone we can. This world is full of hurting people that have no hope...because...they dont know Jesus. And in the grand scheme of the universe...all that time that can be spent on the cell phone..how many people could we be ministering to...talking and listening to...praying for...because...wherever you are...whoever you are with...show them the respect they deserve...be with the people that are with you...not the people on the other side of the cell phone. Think about it...what and who is more important...the person in front of you...or the person on the other side of that devise you are holding in your hand? Ask God to teach you to live fully in the present that you may take advantage of every opportunity He gives you to serve Jesus Christ.

Good morning....
Good morning brother....
David Crowder Band - How He Loves Us
David Crowder Band - How He Loves Us
God is love...love is God. Without God there is no love. As we all know..God created Adam and Eve...and...God has created every human sense then and every living thing. And in all that...Gods intention right from the get go was for Him to love us and in return we love Him. Gods unconditional love is so awesome that we humans really cant grasp or understand how full and perfect it is...however...there is coming a day when those of us that go to heaven...we are going to experience Gods vast love for us every moment for forever! So in all of that...let us know with certainly that God didnt create us to just run around and make do for ourselves and do the best we can living life our way. Let us know that in the grand scheme of the universe...so to speak...what God really wants and deserves...is our undivided attention? Do we really know that what God desires is for us to have a personal relationship with Him? Look folks, i know its a busy world we live in, i know most folks are running in two or three different directions trying to work, take care of kids, care for elderly parents, run errands, shop and many other things throughout the day. Then MAYBE get home in time to fix supper and rest a little and watch some TV. Many folks just cant seem to find enough hours in the day to get it all done...and...lets not forget to try and sleep a couple hours! Heres the thing, God knows we have things to do that are important to our survival here on planet earth. However, when all the "stuff" is getting put in front of our relationship with God...theres a problem there...a big problem! We must find time and learn to prioritize our day along with our relationship with God...and i know that seems hard...but think about it. God wants us to put time aside throughout the day to acknowledge him...worship Him...praise Him...talk to Him. We have to find the time to do this no matter what. Nothing is more important than our personal relationship with Jesus...NOTHING!
