When you fall how to get up

You are a blessing and you need to look at yourself the way God looks at you. Yes you have messed up like we all have but you have to leave the past in the past, get up and move on. Paul tells us that we are to forget the things which are behind and press towards the mark of our high calling. Paul himself had challenges as we can see when he talked about doing the things that he did not want to do. Just as God gave him the strength to overcome so too He will you.

Practical steps to… Continue

Fisherman

I

Determined to go a fishin' to bring back a bountiful catch for myself and others

For I am

A fisherman.

And others followed me

And we

Went fishing

All that night and caught -- nothing.

We returned weary and frustrated with empty nets.

This was one experience one not soon forgets.

All our labor was in vain;

And our egos were in pain,

As a call came from the shore,

"Have you any meat? So we answered with a… Continue

The Darkest Hour

The darkest hour,

They came with lanterns

Seeking the man called "the Christ."

Judas stepped forward,

Welcomed the Savior,

Betraying the Lord with a kiss.

A man seized the Lord.

Peter rushed forward,

Severing the man from his ear.

Jesus then turned to

The man and healed him,

Then to Peter to calmly instruct,

"This is the cup that

My Father has given.

I drink it, for this is His will.

There… Continue

Continuous Force

Many faces yet one people.

Many feet yet one stand:

Together in unity, love and peace

With our fellow man.

Having all men working with one purpose

And speaking with one voice,

The impossible becomes possible

And success becomes our choice.

Every obstacle is surmountable

And every problem is resolved

Without hatred, strife and prejudice,

When every man is harmoniously involved.

As touching any matter

Collectively… Continue

Obliterate

Of all the events of my history,

Which should I store in my memory:

My failures or my victories?

My mistakes are remembered more easily,

Obsuring my success with its effigy;

Until the depiction of who I am is a poor imagery,

At least in my own mind.

So stop: let me rewind!

Should slothful times outweigh days of zealous activity?

Should periods of fervency be doused by seasons of frigidity?

Should moments of religious hypocrisy remove all hope of… Continue

Penes

Poneros, ponos, penes -
Derivatives of one root.
Evil, pain, poverty -
Branches of one shoot.

A sense of lack begets a sickness
That sin attempts to heal;
But deception can only be cured,
By the truth revealed.

He Whom You Obey

He whom you obey becomes your master

And you become his slave.

Your decision is quite serious.

Your decision is quite grave.

Your strength, his kingdom builds.

Your wealth, his coffers fills.

Your agreement, his goals do empower.

Your warfare, his enemies to devour.

There is but good and evil.

There is but life and death.

The choice you choose to make

Becomes your only test.

The consequences of your choice may be a… Continue

THE MANDATE FOR PRISON MINISTRY

The mandate for prison ministry is clear in God’s Word, both by scripture and example.

SCRIPTURE:

The greatest scriptural mandate for prison ministry is given in Matthew 25:31-40. Jesus said:

. . .“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on… Continue

Where Did Allah Come from?

Muslims worship a god by the name of Allah. They also give him ninety-nine other names. The question that naturally arises is who or what is this Allah? Where did the Muslims derive their ideas of Allah's nature and attributes?

Historical Source of Islam

Historians, linguists, and archeologists have dug into this question for over a century. Various archeological digs in Arabia and throughout the Middle East have uncovered the answer: Islam is a modern version of the… Continue

STOP PREACHING WHAT IS NOT BIBLICAL!

MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD, LET US STOP PREACHING SAYINGS THAT ARE NOT BIBLICAL:

"DON'T BECOME SO SPIRITAUL YOUR NO EARTHLY GOOD"

THIS IS NOT A BIBLICAL STATEMENT! THIS IS A STATEMENT WE HAVE HEARD ACROSS THE PULPITS SINCE WE WERE CHILDREN, BECAUSE WE WERE NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO SEARCH THE WORD FOR OURSELVES.

SATAN HAS USED THIS SAYING TO KEEP MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD FROM COMING INTO THE FULLNESS OF GOD, AND FROM BEING SOLD OUT TO GOD. THAT'S WHY MANY CAN'T WALK INTO THEIR… Continue

Paul Understood The Law and Grace PERFECTLY...read and LEARN!

Galatians 1:13 "For ye have heard of my conversation in time past

in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church

of God, and wasted it:"

Paul is speaking of the law that had been given to the Jews. Paul

was educated by Gamaliel in this law, that they called the law of

Moses. Paul believed that he was doing God's will, when he persecuted

the Christians. He was very anxious to be rid of these Christians and

their gospel. Paul… Continue

When All You Have Is GOD!

Psalm 27:10 (Amplified Bible)

10Although my father and my mother have forsaken me, yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].(A)

There should never be a time when a child is uncertain about the love a parent has or doesn't have for them.This applies to grown ups as well. We can be rejected by family, society, coworkers and not feel we belong. SELAH.....Please know, we as ministers are not always understood or received....but to God be the Glory...Our Father… Continue

What do you think ??

WHAT DO YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT YOURSELF?

We (man) have an advantage over other species. We have the ability to think AND reason. This is not always true in the Animal Kingdom. Unfortunately, we tend to think more negative thoughts than we do positive ones. What we think is usually how we feel and how we feel always manifests in our actions.

Proverbs 23:7 says...

"For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to… Continue

THESE ARE THE KINGS AMONG MEN

"He has the best of this world who thinks least of it, and least of himself." - Charles Spurgeon

"The meek-spirited Christian says thus: 'Let God do what He will with me, let Him carve out whatever condition He pleases, I will submit.' God sees what is best for me, whether a fertile soil or a barren. Let Him chequer His work as He please, it suffices that God has done it." - Thomas Watson

"Meekness says, 'Not my will, but Yours be done.' "

"Meekness is controlled strength… Continue
