Stagnant

Most of us have seen water that has never flowed or has stopped flowing turn green.  We have to occasionally drain and clean out a water fountain when it hasn't been used for a while, as the bottom tends to get slimy.

That's not a good picture of a body of water.  You and I don't look so inviting, when it describes our lifestyle. 

****************************************

Stagnant:  Characterized by a lack of development, or useful activity; as in water/ economy.
Stagnate:   To stop developing or advancing or usefully active.

*****************************************

What if we drained and cleaned ourselves and filled ourselves up with a flow of say; "Living water", that continually ran and overflowed to others.  We could accompany that with; Gods Word, a good book, informative videos, making informative videos, getting out more and smiling at people, even sparking up a conversation.  Attend Church, stay in prayer and renewing that relationship with God and man.
 Text, post and tweet encouragements!  

Let's be the warm running living current of God's healing water.

Moses, Give up!

Moses, give up. Can't you see?
Pharaoh will never set you free.
Give up? No, I've seen the burning bush.

Moses, give up.  The seas to large. You'll never get around.
Quiet, and follow me we're going through on dry ground!
Don't lose heart. 

God will tear this sea apart.

Moses, give up.  You could have had pleasure.
You could've taken part in Pharaoh's treasure.
This calling of yours is impossible.
Give up? No! I've seen Him who is invisible.

Has God given you, something good to do?
Never give up! Stand on The Word, that is true.

                                                                    MERRY CHRISTMAS!

New Day, New Year!

                    Welcome to the new normal!

While engaging the circle of life God has placed us in, may He direct us by the Holy Spirit, to use blogs, books, ministry and entertainment in order to walk through many open doors!  I'm looking forward to new methods and opportunities for each of us to; evangelize and equip one another as we exalt Him.

This year let's expect great things from God and attempt great things for God! Dead to self but very much alive to God.

Let's be in much prayer with praise and submission to the will of the Lord.  We can seek to be the conduit which God's love can flow.

                      Have a Happy New Year!

Come You Unfaithful (Lyric Video)

Put a handle on it.

This weekend, many went to worship, There will be time spent in the word.  Some study in a class and/or hear a sermon message.  Some receive a speech while others, received a message from God; directed and focused,  empowered by God's Spirit.

Sadly these moments  (if allowed to, or if I'm speaking) can be; sleepy, sneezy, grumpy.... well, you get the picture.
The time we come together as a community, This time can be inspirational, educational, convicting, repenting, redeeming,and encouraging!

If you meet with a group of loving, Bible believing followers,  allow your worship to bless God.  Remember what you have heard .  We can then, allow our lifestyle during the week, to bless God and be a light in our circle of life, God has placed us in.

Don't waste that time of worship and the message from God. Put a handle on the word spoken, and carry it with you and connect with Him  throughout the week!

p.s.
you might not have given God a thought all weekend or even this month.  Take this time, or as soon as possible, to reconnect, then put a handle on it, carrying  His message with you, throughout the week. Connect with God moment by moment, daily and so on.

The Reason for the Season

I can remember receiving great gifts. School activities that celebrated Christmas. Many a family get together Christmas Eve, were highlights of a lifetime.  These and more make up the list of special moments that are a part of that most wonderful time of the year.

Church Christmas plays as simple as some were, painted the picture of that Nativity that is ever etched on my mind, portraying the birth of Jesus. We had Santa all around, but that was merely a fun, mythical part of Christmas.  The reality of my life was that Jesus came from Heaven to Bethlehem born to die.

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given."

Jesus born in a manger and growing in wisdom and stature, came living a sinless life, dying a sacrificial death on that cross that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

We are not celebrating the birth of a mere man, even a president or earthly king, or a person with great teachings. We celebrate the birthday of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! The Son of God!

He is the reason for the season.
