Week of First Sunday in Lent… 3/5/2017 *push*

Yes to GRACE… *push*

Lord God, our strength, the battle of good and evil rages within and around us, and our ancient foe tempts us with his deceits and empty promises.  Keep us steadfast in your Word and, when we fall, raise us again and restore us through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Yes to GRACE…

I love seeing God in everything… it is truly AWESOME!!! I cannot wait to run in those woods tomorrow… EARLY… I have got to study for my licensing exam after I work out at the GYM… EVER HEAR THE FOO FIGHTER’s SONG “WALK”?  lol… I am not walking in those woods… I AM RUNNING.

(I learned that Martin Luther translated the Bible into German)

MY PHONE WILL HAVE A DAMN SIGNAL… smh… Technology…

Anyway…

Enough of my craziness… I want to share with you the Holy Gospel written in Matthew… IT READS…

Matthew 4:1-11

Satan Tempts Jesus

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’

and,

‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”

Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”

11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

… Jesus ROCKED!!!

We are reminded time and time again throughout scripture that the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ has the power to satisfy any human need… For example, The Apostle Paul writes in Romans Chapter 7 that Adam’s (Adam + Eve) giving into temptation led to man’s condemnation; while Jesus Christ’s rejection of temptation led to us having GRACE.

Paul writes again in 2 Corinthians 12:9 that this GRACE is sufficient…

2 Corinthians 12:9

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

simply put…

Yes to GRACE!!!

Sunday Remembering The Transfiguration of Our Lord… 2/26/2017 *push*

Do you know the MYSTERIES OF FAITH??? *push*

O God, in the transfiguration of your Son you confirmed the mysteries of faith by the witness of Moses and Elijah, and in the voice from the bright cloud you foreshadowed our adoption as your children.  Make us the king heirs of your glory, and bring us to enjoy its fullness, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Do you know the MYSTERIES OF FAITH???

Once again, I want to share with you the Holy Gospel… What would be cool if someone, somehow answered my question on where I have seen Holy Gospel translated to “Good News”.

Did I see it on Wikkipedia? Facebook? Twitter?

O WELL…

ANYWAY… IT IS WRITTEN…

Matthew 17:1-9

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

17 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.”

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THOSE WORDS… “The Son of Man”

I want to share with you one of the two lessons I will be reading to the congregation.  I would love to share these scriptures with you in person… here is the website with the address of my church…http://htluth.org/  service is at 9:00 this week due to a congregation meeting (BTW – I AM ON THAT BOARD)

ANYWAY…

2 Peter 1:16-21

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed,[a] which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation,[b] 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God[c] spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

THANK YOU GOD FOR TODAY!!!

GO!!! (read, learn, live, love)

bible3

I must admit… I am really stubborn… I try to give it my all when I know deep down inside it is the right thing to do… I want to share with you teachings found in the Holy Gospel in the New Testament of our Holy Bible

Matthew 5:38-48

Go the Extra Mile

38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ 39 But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. 40 If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic, let him have your cloak also. 41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42 Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away.

Love Your Enemies

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? 48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

I have a some questions for this teaching by Jesus Christ.  Who are considered enemies???  Aren’t we all considered equal in God’s eyes??? Perhaps, Jesus Christ was speaking to us in general terms…

We do not get our own way all the time; however, that does not make it right to hate the person in the way of us achieving our own way. Jesus Christ gives us an awesome example on how to behave when we are upset during these trials.

(Hebrews 11:29-12:2)

You know… I also try to live by Jesus’s example… I WANT TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE.

GO!!! (read, learn, live, love)

May I now share with you what I was reading this morning?  It is written in the Old Testament of our Holy Bible… IT READS…

Jeremiah 23:23-29

23 Am I a God near at hand,” says the Lord,
“And not a God afar off?
24 Can anyone hide himself in secret places,
So I shall not see him?” says the Lord;
“Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the Lord.

25 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, 27 who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.

28 “The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.
What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord.
29 Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord,
“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

Matthew 5:20-37

20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Murder Begins in the Heart

21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

Adultery in the Heart

27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Marriage Is Sacred and Binding

31 “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

Jesus Forbids Oaths

33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

*raises hand* WHAT’s THIS???

I KNOW King Solomon (David’s son) prayed to God for wisdom… HOW SHOULD WE PRAY???

Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

RUNNING AFTER WISDOM…

After reading the bible this morning…

(Genesis 15:1-6)

I read this posted on a friends Facebook wall…

“People wait all week for Friday, all year for Summer, all life for Happiness…”

Now imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. It’s name is TIME… Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, what ever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposit, the loss is yours… There is no drawing against “tomorrow.” You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the upmost in health, happiness and success. The clock is running, so make the most of today, everyday!

BEAUTIFUL… HUH???

*REMEMBER* The Red text symbolizes the words of Jesus Christ…

I am ready to learn… ARE YOU???

Matthew 19:23-30

With God All Things Are Possible

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”

28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.

SERIOUSLY… THIS JESUS IS REALLY CONFIDENT… AWESOME!!! (truth rocks!)

But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. 23 Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. 25 Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are on the way with him, lest your adversary deliver you to the judge, the judge hand you over to the officer, and you be thrown into prison. 26 Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.

Adultery in the Heart

27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

Marriage Is Sacred and Binding

31 “Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ 32 But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.

Jesus Forbids Oaths

33 “Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

*raises hand* WHAT’s THIS???

solomanswisdom

I KNOW King Solomon (David’s son) prayed to God for wisdom… HOW SHOULD WE PRAY???

Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

RIGHT ON…

RUNNING AFTER WISDOM…

After reading the bible this morning…

i-will-read-2-7-2017

(Genesis 15:1-6)

i-will-read-2-7-2017b

I read this posted on a friends Facebook wall…

“People wait all week for Friday, all year for Summer, all life for Happiness…”

Now imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course! Each of us has such a bank. It’s name is TIME… Every morning it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off as lost, what ever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposit, the loss is yours… There is no drawing against “tomorrow.” You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the upmost in health, happiness and success. The clock is running, so make the most of today, everyday!

BEAUTIFUL… HUH???

I’M RUNNING AFTER THAT WISDOM!!!

2/8/2017

THANK YOU GOD FOR TODAY.

This morning I went running… it was AWESOME!

May I please share with you what I was reading this morning???

i-will-read-2-9-2017

(Isaiah 56:1-8)

i-will-read-2-9-2017a

Our brother Paul *the Apostle who wrote this* was tested time and time again by God… yet he remained obedient and spread the Word of the Lord in his walk with Jesus Christ :)…

CAN’T WAIT FOR SUNDAY.

If Paul was alive today, I would whisper to him…

“I’m not walk’n” 🙂

RUNNING AFTER WISDOM…

 

Fifth Sunday After The Epiphany… 2/5/2017 *push*

How do YOU feel today??? *push*

Almighty God, you sent your only Son as the Word of life for our eyes to see and our ears to hear.  Help us to believe with joy what the Scriptures proclaim, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

How do YOU feel today???

AWESOME… I really do not feel like sharing any scriptures with you right now; however, you know what??? I AM GONNA DO IT ANYWAY…

(Isaiah 58:9)

I am going to start this post by citing the Holy Gospel of Matthew written in the New Testament of our Holy Bible… IT READS…

Matthew 5:13-20

Believers Are Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Christ Fulfills the Law

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

That is what I really love about faith… LET ME EXPLAIN…

Even though, I might not “feel” like doing the righteousness that Jesus Christ commands us to do… I DO IT ANYWAY… I will see my reward later… It is right to give humans the WORD OF THE LORD… I “FEEL” THE NEED TO SHARE WITH YOU A PSALM…

Psalm 112

The Blessed State of the Righteous

112 Praise the Lord!

Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.

His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is established;
He will not be afraid,
Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish.

AWESOMENESS!!!
