Do not judge

Here is a verse to live by.  From the King James version of the Bible.

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brothers eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, Let me take the speck out of your eye, when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brothers eye. - Matthew 7:1-5 Just think if we all followed the Verse that states, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."  If we applied that to life there would be no wars because none of us are without sin.  If we take care of our own house properly, being judged would not be an issue.

How Much Sex is Normal?

I was asked during a conversation with friends. How much sex is normal in a marriage? I read this article online and at the end of the article was the following posted statement. Please read the article either by yourself or with your spouse and form your own opinions.  I think this makes perfect sense. Take the time to read the comments they will help. You may or may not even find how you feel in those comments. I am not saying their answers are the perfect ones but they make you think. 

We, at Marriage Missions, don’t feel that God would have us “pay the price” of sacrificing our marriages because we’re too “busy” to have sex. Scripturally we feel that God wants us to work with each other, as long as it doesn’t go against scriptural grounds, to accommodate each other’s sexual needs.

The scriptural basis we see for this can be found in the Bible in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 where it says,

“The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone, but also to his wife. Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

The ABC's of Gods Love.

Going through some old papers and printed off emails the other day I came across this and thought now would be a good time to share this with everyone. I do hope you enjoy it. I have no idea who wrote it, like I said, it was an old email.

The ABC's of Gods Love

Although things are not perfect,
Because of trial or pain
Continue in thanksgiving
Do not begin to blame


Even when times are hard
Fierce winds are bound to blow
God is forever able
Hold on to what you know


Imagine life without His love
Joy would cease to be
Keep thanking Him for all things
Love imparts to thee


Move out of "Camp Complaining"
No weapon that is known
On earth can yield the power
Praise can do alone


Quit looking at the future
Redeem the time at hand
Start every day with worship
To "thank" is a command


Until we see Him coming
Victorious in the sky
We'll run the race with gratitude
Xalting God most high


Yes, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but...
Zion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

"I AM TOO blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor.
The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and Peace be with you forever, Amen.

PS: GOD LOVES YOU...PASS THE WORD ON TO MORE FRIENDS AND ASK THEM TO CONTINUE TELLING OTHERS THAT GOD LOVES THEM TOO. JUST THINK OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT COULD BE REACHED OUT TO AND BE BLESSED WITH THESE WORDS.

'Twas The Night Before Jesus Came'

I downloaded this from a site 11 years ago and its as true today as it was then. Maybe even more so. I tried to locate the site to find out the author but the site no longer seems to exist.
This is a twist on the The Night Before Christmas.

Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house
not a creature was praying, not one in the house.
Their Bibles were lain on the shelf without care
in hopes that Jesus would not come there.

The children were dressing to crawl into bed
not once ever kneeling or bowing a head,
and Mom in her rocker with baby on her lap
watching the late show while I took a nap.

When out of the East there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash
tore open the shutters and threw up the sash!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but angels proclaiming that Jesus was here.
With a light like the sun sending forth a bright ray,
I knew in a moment this must be The Day.

The light of His face made me cover my head,
it was Jesus returning just like He had said,
and through I possessed worldly wisdom and wealth
I cried when I saw Him in spite of myself.

In the Book Of Life which He held in His hand
was written the name of every saved man.
He spoke not a word as He searched for my name;
when He said "It's not here" my head hung in shame.

The people whose names had been written with love
He gathered to take to His Father above.
With those who were ready He rose without sound
while all the rest were left standing around.

I fell to my knees, but it was to late,
I had waited to long and thus sealed my fate.
I stood and i cried as they rose out of sight:
Oh, if only I had been ready tonight.

In the words of this poem the meaning is clear;
The coming of Jesus is drawing near.
There's only one life and when comes the last call,
we'll find that the Bible was true after all.

We all know the day is coming and we know not the date or time of his return. Are you ready for him to come? Will you take the time to become ready for him? He will accept you as you are and forgive all your sins. You just have to ask him into your heart and mean it.

I don't know who wrote this version but, I have to say thank you
and God Bless.

Another Sunday Morning

Another Sunday Morning has arrived. I guess this means we have survived another week on this planet and God is still molding us for his purpose. We do his work as he directs with the blindest of faith. We read his word and follow his plan for our lives. People say life should come with and instruction book. As I have said before, it does "The Bible" its just that most people don't read it or follow it. Some people read and follow part of it other look at it an laugh. In the end when its just you and him there will be questions to be answered and actions to be accounted for.  I know I am not perfect and will have to answer his questions just like everyone else. However, unlike those who choose not to acknowledge him and his existence I will at least have a chance to answer those questions. May the good Lord watch over you all.

Godspeed

Inspirational Music

Just listened to a new song written by Secret Sisters called River Jordan.  You can find in on youtube.com. I have only listened to a few of their songs but they are worth a listen.  Inspirational tune. They have several others there that are worth a listen.  As you will see they preformed at the Sundance Music Festival Feb 2011.
Enjoy the music.  Here are a couple more links to two beautiful lady's with very good voices doing God's work. This one is There's a Land that is Fairer than Day.  In this one the sister are preforming live, House of Gold.

Quote of the day. 03 March 2011

To all you out there who are broken hearted because of one thing or another take heed.  The Lord God has spoken to us and his message to us is.
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. - Psalms 147:3  My suggestion to you is this.  Find the passage listed here and read a page or two before and after it.  I am sure it will make you feel better.


until next time.
Godspeed
