I Will Not Be Silent

2Co 6:1  Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 
2Co 6:2  For he says, “In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.” Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. 
2Co 6:3  We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, 
2Co 6:4  but as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, ...

Things happen to slow you down, to discourage and to convict you. In this world there is a war; the devil seeks to destroy you but the Spirit of God points to Jesus and your eternal salvation. Once saved, I believe that he continues with you even through difficult times when you may feel that all is looking bad. He is good and God loves us through his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Hold onto him and fellowship with Him. As the hymn says,

 "What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms." 

My dear ministry friend, Dorothy, sent me two large custom made coffee cups celebrating the founding of our Eaglewings Ministries. On the cup was this verse:

Heb 12:1  Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 

On the cup in large letters was written "KEEP GOING". I see this as a useful motto for all who trust in Jesus as our savior. KEEP GOING, for he is drawing you to him now and forever more. My ministry friend has grown older and is no longer online. Other friends have gone on to be with the Lord. We remain and we are to remain faithful.

Php 3:14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Wise Words

I opened a Chinese fortune cookie that had been waiting on my desk. I read the fortune that said "If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything." Immediately I thought of our crooked politicians who when asked questions they say "I don't remember."  Their memory is selective and their stories are layered with lies. This is an era when God's word is censored and human thoughts are exalted. Humanism and the absence of absolute values result in "my truth and your truth, which is is no truth. "Progressives" remove the boundaries of established morality and impose their dictates as the politically correct order of things. Oh how we need the word of God!

Job 28:28  And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

 Isa 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 
Isa 5:21  Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

 Joh 3:16  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 
Joh 3:17  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 
Joh 3:18  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 

Joh 14:3  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 
Joh 14:4  And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 
Joh 14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 
Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 
Joh 14:7  If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 

Joh 15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Joh 8:31  Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 
Joh 8:32  And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 

Pro 14:33  Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. 
Pro 14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. 

Our nation needs the truth of God's word and to depart from evil.
