I Know All The Things You Do, That You Are Neither Hot Nor Cold. I Wish That You Were One Or The Other!


I Know All The Things You Do,
That You Are Neither Hot Nor Cold.
I Wish That You Were One Or The Other!
Scripture
Revelation 3
15 “I know all the things you do, that you are neither hot nor cold. I wish that you were one or the other! 

16 But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!

Observation

(I am heading to Panama City today with our Disaster Relief Team from our church so I won't be able to post any blogs until I get back home … pray for us!)

…...
Lukewarm … It is not what I want my Lord to say about me! How about you?
What is going to be different in 2019?
Now is the time to think about setting some goals, making some commitments to the Lord, commitments that will make Him smile.
He knows all that we do. He doesn't want us to be lukewarm!
Lets think about what needs to change and then lets do something about it!
I was so excited to receive an email from someone today saying that she was making a commitment to the Lord to be in His Word everyday in 2019!
Nothing lukewarm about that commitment! I am very proud of her.
What needs to change in 2019? Start attending church? Join a small group? Maybe volunteer to serve on a serve team at your church? Read the entire Bible through this year? Maybe read the New Testament twice this year?
Lets not be lukewarm in 2019!
Application
I will think about what commitments I need to make to the Lord as I look ahead to 2019.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, show me what needs to change in my life. Show me what commitments I need to make in this coming year that will bring You glory and honor. I don't want to be lukewarm.

Your Word Is A Lamp To Guide My Feet And A Light For My Path … Your Word Is My Source Of Hope.


Your Word Is A Lamp To Guide My Feet
And A Light For My Path …
Your Word Is My Source Of Hope.
Scripture
Psalm 119
105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
    and a light for my path.
114 You are my refuge and my shield;
    your word is my source of hope.
Observation
I am surprised at how many people, who call themselves Christ followers, spend hardly any time in God's Word on a daily basis.
When I ask young adults at our church if they take time to read God's Word every day many of them will reply by saying that they have an app that sends a Bible verse to their phone every day.
Now, in my opinion, (and remember opinions are like belly buttons – everybody's got one!), and I certainly don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but I don't think having a verse pop up each day on my phone or on your phone constitutes us being in God's Word.
I know several people that made the commitment to read the Bible through in 2018 and they have been successful. I am very proud of them!
By the way, you and I need to make a commitment to the Lord to be in His Word every day for us to have success!
A New Year's resolution to read God's Word every day this next year will probably be as successful as any other New Year's resolution that will make.
So let's make our commitments to the Lord and let's let someone else make New Year's resolutions!
Application
I will read God's Word every day and not miss - because God's Word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. And the Bible is my source of Hope!
Prayer

Heavenly Father, give any person reading this blog today a desire to be in Your Word every day! Help them make the commitment to You to read Your Word every day this coming new year. And help them to be successful! Thank You for not leaving us here on Earth without a way to know You. You have given me a manual for how to do life and it is called my Bible! Help me to follow what You say to me each day as I read Your Word. Don't let me be lazy. Don't let me neglect being in Your Word.
Daily Bible Reading: Psalm 117; Psalm 119:81-176; 2 John 1; 3 John 1
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I just saw this blog that I wrote on this day in 2014 – maybe it will speak to you!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
My Life
Constantly Hangs
In The Balance,
… but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
Scripture
Psalm 119
109 My life constantly hangs in the balance,
but I will not stop obeying your instructions.
Observation
Hardly a moment goes by that I don’t realize that I am on borrowed time. Since my heart attack three years ago my body constantly reminds me that my life hangs in the balance.
And that is not a bad thing either!
You see we are both on borrowed time. Seeing the end of 2015 is no guarantee for any of us. We might not make it to the end of 2014 come to think of it.
The idea of dying doesn’t bother me. Does it bother you? Are you scared of dying?
By God’s grace and mercy I have personally experienced death and God’s people praying me back to life. I know that I am not afraid to die.
What does bother me is how I live each day! I am not proud of myself at how I am doing.
When it comes to handling pain and feeling tired and worn out on a daily basis I am a big wimp.
So if you and I are tempted to feel sorry for ourselves on the day after Christmas lets take a minute and think about other folks we know and lets pray for them. Some of them are dealing with far more serious things than we are! Kathy always reminds me (so glad that she does) that there are lots of people suffering a lot more than I am.
You and I are blessed. We are very blessed.
I am going to live forever in a brand new body that is never going to wear out!
God has allowed me to stay here on planet earth a little bit longer to do His will.
Application
I will pray Psalm 119:114,116-117.
Prayer
Heavenly Father,
You are my refuge and my shield;
your word is my source of hope.
LORD, sustain me as you promised, that I may live!
Do not let my hope be crushed.
Sustain me, and I will be rescued;
then I will meditate continually on your decrees. Psalm 119:114,116-117

She Will Give Birth To A Son And Will Call Him Immanuel (Which Means 'God Is With Us').


She Will Give Birth To A Son
And Will Call Him Immanuel
(Which Means 'God Is With Us').
Scripture
Isaiah 7:14 
14 All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin  will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).
Isaiah 9:6-7
6 For a child is born to us,
    a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
    And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!
Isaiah 53:5-6
5 But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.6 All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
    the sins of us all.

Observation
Amazingly the Prophet Isaiah wrote about the coming of the Messiah, the coming of the Christ Child 700 years before Jesus was born.
We can read in Isaiah about how Jesus would be born; it would be a virgin birth.
And we can read in Isaiah about how Jesus would suffer and die. Isaiah wrote in graphic detail about how Jesus would be mistreated and rejected.
He described how Jesus would suffer: He would be beaten. He would be whipped. He would be pierced.
And Isaiah tells us why God allowed this to happen to Jesus in Isaiah 53:6, “All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.”
And in Isaiah 9:6-7 we read about Jesus' present and future reign, “His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity.”
To which I say, “Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
Romans 5:8 
8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.
John 3:16
 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”
Application
I will take time this morning to marvel at all that God did for me by coming into this world as Jesus!
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish. MESSAGE
Prayer

Heavenly Father, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year! This has been a very, very good Christmas! It has not been perfect, but it has been so much better than last Christmas. Christmas is all about relationships and the sharing of Your love with those we love. Thank You for showing me how it is done. You put 'skin on' … You became 'Flesh' to show me how to love like You love. Help me to love people like You love them. Give me a bigger heart for the people that You bring into my life! Thank You for Your Son. He is the Indescribable Gift!

Stop Doubting And Believe.


Stop
Doubting
And Believe.
Scripture
John 20
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Observation
Can you say with me today as the once doubting Thomas said over 2000 years ago, after he saw Jesus' hands and Jesus' side, “My Lord and my God”?
Or are you one who is going to go through another Christmas still doubting the existence of the very One whose special day we celebrate?
And … maybe you find yourself tired of all this Christmas stuff and have a desire to move on to the normal 'business as usual' kind of life!
If today on Christmas Eve you find yourself still a doubter then I have this to say to you today, “Stop doubting and believe!”
Join in the celebration!
Application
I am going to celebrate my Savior's birth!
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I believe! I celebrate my Savior's birth! I know without a doubt that Jesus came and He came to die for me. I know that I don't deserve to go to Heaven. I know I deserve to go to Hell. I am so glad that You are not going to give me what I deserve!
I pray for any person reading this blog who is still doubting that You came into this World as a Babe in a manger. Help them to stop doubting and help them to believe! Open up their spiritual eyes and heart. Soften their hearts!

Now This Is Eternal Life: That They Know You, The Only True God, And Jesus Christ, Whom You Have Sent.


Now This Is Eternal Life:
That They Know You, The Only True God,
And Jesus Christ, Whom You Have Sent.
Scripture
John 17
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. 
Observation
Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year, but for many it is also the most difficult time of the year!
For many it brings back memories of Christmas' spent with loved ones, loved ones who are no longer with them. Sometimes it was during this time of the year when their loved one passed away. I am sure that this could describe you or someone you know.
My Bible reading for today takes me through some of the last hours of Jesus' life on Earth.
In today's reading, which is found in John 18, our Savior is arrested, and tomorrow on Christmas Eve, I will be reading John 19, 20, and 21 about His death, His burial, and His resurrection!
It is a reminder to me that the Christmas story is not just about a little baby in a manger! Oh no, the Christmas story is about way more than that!
It is about a God who loved me so much that He left Heaven, came to Earth as a human being. He experienced suffering as a human being just like you and I experience it. He was tempted like you and I are tempted … yet ... He never sinned. Then He died on a cross as a Perfect Sacrifice for my sins and for your sins too. He came back to life on the third day and one day He is coming back!
I know that it is hard to get our heads around all of that He has done for us, but it is all true! We can't fully grasp it, we can't totally understand it, but that is what makes the Savior's birth into this world so absolutely wonderful!
Application
Today … In just a few minutes, I will be at church and when I sing today and when I listen to our pastor's message, I will take in all of the awe and all of the wonder of what God has done for me! And I will praise Him!
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I give You praise! Thank You for sending Your Son. Thank You for giving me Eternal Life! Thank You for giving me a rich and satisfying life here on Earth. I am blessed!
I pray for those who are having a hard time during this Christmas season. I pray for those who are sick and for those who have loved ones who are sick.
I also pray for those who have lost loved ones, who are having a difficult time right now. I pray for healing for those who are sick. And I pray that You give strength and comfort to those who are experiencing the loss of a loved one.

I Am Leaving You With A Gift - Peace Of Mind And Heart. And The Peace I Give Is A Gift The World Cannot Give.


I Am Leaving You With A Gift -
Peace Of Mind And Heart.
And The Peace I Give Is A Gift The World Cannot Give.
Scripture
John 14
27 “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Observation
No matter what you give or what you receive this Christmas you will not be able to top this Gift. This Gift has a name – Jesus!
At Christmas, when we celebrate our Savior's birth, isn't it actually pretty strange how we celebrate His birthday, I am talking about the practice of giving gifts to each other on the day that we celebrate His Birth.
Don't get me wrong, I am not knocking the gift giving that we do at Christmas. I think that it is a great way to show our love for each other as Jesus commanded for us to do in John 13:34-35!
I am not Scrooge!
But hey, what gift did we give Jesus, or what gift are we planning on giving Jesus on His birthday?
Your life and my life surrendered to Him would be the best gift of all this Christmas! Giving monetarily to further His Kingdom's work would also be a great Christmas gift to Him!
And helping someone in need … is definitely a good thing to do at Christmas!
2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
Application
I will look for ways to to celebrate the Christ of “Christ...mas” this Christmas!
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, the Christmas season goes by so quickly. I think that all of us want the generosity that we see at Christmas to continue throughout the entire year! At least I do. I don't mean the giving and receiving that is done because it is expected of us. But what I love is the generosity I see during this time of the year that no one expects … that is not forced … but that comes from the prompting of Your Holy Spirit! I know that it happens throughout the year, but it seems to happen a lot more during the Christmas season. Help me to give more than I receive this Christmas. Help me to be Your Hands and Your Feet to the people around me.

“Lord, He Has Been Dead For Four Days. The Smell Will Be Terrible.”


“Lord,
He Has Been Dead For Four Days.
The Smell Will Be Terrible.”
Scripture
John 11
38 Jesus was still angry as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance. 

39 “Roll the stone aside,” Jesus told them. But Martha, the dead man’s sister, protested, “Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible.”

40 Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” 

41 So they rolled the stone aside. Then Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “Father, thank you for hearing me. 42 You always hear me, but I said it out loud for the sake of all these people standing here, so that they will believe you sent me.” 
43 Then Jesus shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” 44 And the dead man came out, his hands and feet bound in graveclothes, his face wrapped in a headcloth. Jesus told them, “Unwrap him and let him go!”
Observation
This is absolutely one of my favorite stories in the Bible!
Lazarus wasn't just dead. He was four days dead! Stinking dead!
Jesus told them to roll away the huge stone and open up Lazarus's tomb and immediately Martha thought of how bad that dead body was going to smell.
We don't know how bad the smell actually was when the stone was rolled away, but the stone was rolled away and then after it was rolled away Jesus prayed to His Heavenly Father, thanking His Father for hearing His prayer!
I say all of that because sometimes we read the Bible without taking time to think about what we are reading. Take time to put yourself at that tomb right beside Mary and Martha and of course Jesus and visualize and sense the totally amazing miracle that took place.
If you remember, it was a few minutes before arriving at that tomb that Jesus told Martha this, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die.”
Then He walked over to a very dead (and probably very stinky) man's tomb and called Lazarus by name and brought him back from the dead!
Can you see Lazarus hopping and bouncing out of that tomb all wrapped up from head to toe in those soon to be history graveclothes!
One day, if you and I are followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, He is going to bring us back from the dead to live with Him forever!
Application
As I read God's Word I will take time to think about what I am reading and I will try to place myself in the middle of all the action!
How about you?
Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me capture everything that You have for me in Your Word. I don't want to miss one single thing! Show me things that I have never seen before or that I have never really taken time to try to understand. Your Word is wonderful. Every day as I read the Bible it is fresh and new. It never gets old.
Help those who may be reading this blog today to see new things as they read Your Word. Encourage them today. Help them to dig into and explore Your Word with all of their hearts. And bless them richly as they do!

I Took My Troubles To The Lord; I Cried Out To Him, And He Answered My Prayer.


I Took My Troubles To The Lord;
I Cried Out To Him,
And He Answered My Prayer.
Scripture
Psalm 120
1 I took my troubles to the Lord;
    I cried out to him, and he answered my prayer.
Observation
Trouble … Trouble … Trouble! Life is full of trouble and life is all about how we deal with it!
It is so sad when we hear that someone has taken his or her own life and even more tragic to hear that a person in desperation or in anger has taken the lives of others and then ended their own.
I am reminded of what Jesus said in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
To quote a popular bumper sticker, “No Jesus, No Peace … Know Jesus, Know Peace!”
You and I were not designed by our Creator to live life without His help. If that is what you are trying to do then I can tell you right now that it is not going to end well for you. I watch people every day trying to live without God, you probably do too, and it is not pretty!
Lets not be hard-headed … God created us for fellowship. He created us for a relationship with Him. He wants to be our Heavenly Father. He wants us to go to Him when we have trouble. He wants to be our go to Person!
Job 14:1
“How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble!
Psalm 32:7
For you are my hiding place; you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory.
Psalm 34:6
In my desperation I prayed, and the Lordlistened; he saved me from all my troubles.
Application
Big or small I will take all my troubles to the Lord. I will pray first!
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, don't let me be hard-headed! Remind me to pray first when trouble comes my way. I know that You want me to depend on You. I know that You have promised to take care of me.
I pray for people that I know who are facing big problems. Help them to take their troubles to You. Don't let them try to deal with them without Your help. Bring people into their lives who will direct them to You. Don't let us be hard-headed!
I pray for my daughter Debby today on her birthday. Bless her Lord. May Your face shine on her today. “May You give her her heart's desires. May You make her plans successful. And may You answer all of her prayers” (Psalm 20:4-5 personalized).

I Tell You The Truth Anyone Who Believes Has Eternal Life.


I Tell You The Truth
Anyone
Who Believes Has Eternal Life.
Scripture
John 6
47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.
48 Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 
50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. 
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.”
Observation
I talk to people all the time about their relationship with Jesus. I listen carefully to their response, listening to see if I hear them share something personal. 

 But many times instead of hearing something about a personal relationship with Christ I get a response like: “Oh yeah, I did that a long time ago” … “I walked down the aisle of the church when I was 8 years old” … “Oh, yes, I was baptized when I was a kid” 

 Is that what you would say about your relationship with Jesus? 

 I realize that sometimes I might catch people off guard when I ask them about Jesus. And yes, maybe they respond quickly without thinking … but … I really believe that when you and I know Him we will talk about our relationship with Him. 

 Do you know Him? If you were at Heaven's gate and God were to ask you, “Why should I let you into my Heaven?” What would you say to Him?
“I wonder if you know Him today?
He supplies strength for the weak. He's available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He saves. He strengthens and sustains. He guards and He guides. He heals the sick. He cleanses lepers. He forgives sinners. He discharges debtors. He delivers captives. He defends the feeble. He blesses the young. He serves the unfortunate. He regards the aged. He rewards the diligent. And He beautifies the meek.” (Taken from - That's My King! Do You Know Him? by S.M. Lockridge)
Application
I will continue to share with the people that come across my path the Good News about Jesus.
How about you?
Do you know Him?
Prayer

Heavenly Father, I don't run across very many people in our country who have not heard about Jesus, and they at least know His name. As I share with people about Jesus I pray that You open up their hearts so that they can really understand who Jesus is.

For anyone that may be reading this blog today help them to see Jesus for who He is. I pray for them. Help them to believe in their heart in Jesus as their Lord and their Savior.

We Know That This Man Really Is The Savior Of The World.


We Know
That This Man
Really Is The Savior Of The World.
Scripture
John 4
39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 
40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”
Observation
The story of the Samaritan woman found in John 4 is so good and it is so good for so many different reasons. It is definitely one of my favorite stories in the Bible.
When the Angels announced the birth of Jesus, they didn't make the announcement to the rich and famous. No, they didn't go to the king's palace to make this important announcement, they went out to the country side to some lowly, and very ordinary shepherds.
When Jesus walked on this earth, He went to the social outcasts, He didn't focus His time on the rich and famous. Tax collectors, lepers, the blind, the crippled, prostitutes, fishermen, the poor, they were the ones who got Jesus' attention.
Jesus told the Samaritan woman that she had previously had 5 husbands and the man that she was presently living with was not her husband. He told her that, not to condemn her for her obvious sinful lifestyle, but to reveal to her that He was the long awaited Messiah, the Savior of the World.
You and I have a past. All of us have things in our lives that we would be embarrassed about if they were made public.
All of us are sinners. We are just like the Samaritan woman. We are just like the shepherds in the Christmas story. Jesus came to this earth to save ordinary people … ordinary people just like you and ordinary just like me.
Application
I will share the Good News about Jesus with every one that I can.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for associating with and reaching out to, ordinary people like me. I am grateful that You accepted me, just like You found me, a sinner. And thank You for not letting me stay the way You found me. I am still a sinner, but I am forgiven. I am one of Your children. I am a King's kid. I am part of Your Kingdom. I have a bright future ahead of me, one that will last forever!
I pray for those who are sick. I pray for those who have loved ones who are sick. I pray for healing and I pray that You give them Your strength.

By His Divine Power, God Has Given Us Everything We Need For Living A Godly Life.


By His Divine Power,
God Has Given Us Everything We Need
For Living A Godly Life.
Scripture
2 Peter 1
3 By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. 
4 And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
5 In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge,
6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness,7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
Observation

When you and I place our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and we ask Him to come into our lives to save us, in that very moment, we are given everything we need for living a godly life.
Of course, living a godly life does not mean that we are going to do everything right. It doesn't mean that we are perfect. Living a godly life means that we are striving to put God first in our lives.
God has provided thousands of promises to help us live godly lives. But you and I must read them and respond to them. We must act on all of the promises that He gives us in His Word.
And that means we need to read His Word every day!
Trying to live a godly life without reading the Bible everyday is like driving a car that is out of gas … you might be behind the wheel but you are not going anywhere!
Lets not make excuses … lets dig into God's Word today!
Application
I will hold on tightly to all of God's promises that He gives me in His Word.
How about you?
Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me to live a godly life. Every time I start to go off in the wrong direction I want You to guide me back and get me back on track. I know that I am a sinner, but I also know that You have given me everything that I need to live a godly life. So I know that I have no excuse when I sin. Help me to confess my sins every time I commit one. Don't let me let them pile up.
I pray for those today who are facing serious illnesses. Help them not to be afraid. Give them Your strength. May they sense Your presence today. I pray for healing. Touch their bodies with Your healing power.
