Churches today tend to entertain, offer amenities of various facilities, trips, missions, etc.

Hard or difficult subjects are avoided from the pulpit. Sin, hell, Holy Spirit, fasting, healing, etc. are skimmed over and mentioned now and then in an offhand way.

This is not good teaching. It is politically correct teaching and not as true to the word of God’s scriptures.

We each have a responsibility to read and study God’s instructions and to learn more as we grow in the knowledge of the Bible.

Time ... how much time are we on the computer, or in front of the TV, or gossiping with a friend? or reading a fiction book? It is a matter of priority, isn’t it? We all have a need to work.

Thank you for the devotion today. I appreciate it everyday..

"Wear Red" Friday

You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.

Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Please Lift Prayers for a Precious Christian Sister named Barbara, who is Beginning her Chemotherapy Treatments Today for an Aggressive Type of Cancer. Barbara is the Sister of our Dear Freeper, Pollywog. Thank you for All who will Pray.

Standing with you in Prayer for Barbara, Dearest Polly.

Our Merciful Father, with All our Hearts we Lift Barbara before Your Throne of Grace. May Your Comfort Surround her in a Mighty Way, and Your Love Refresh her Sweet Heart. Please Carry these Difficult Burdens for her, Abba, and Fill her with Jesus' Strength. Thank You for the Loving Promises in Your Holy Word. 'You Saw me before I was Born, and Scheduled Each Day of my Life before I began to Breath. Every Day was Recorded in Your Book. How Precious it is, Lord, to Realize that You are Thinking about me Constantly. I can't Even Count How Many Times a Day Your Thoughts Turn Towards me. And when I Awaken in the Morning, You are still Thinking of me.' (Ps.139:16-18)

Please Shelter Barbara as she Walks through this Trial, Compassionate Lord. Please Mitigate the Chemotherapy's Side Affects, and Bring Healing to Your Dear Child. May her Doctors be Given the Mind and Wisdom of Jesus Christ. May they be Lead by Thy Spirit, and Directed by Thy Hand.

Thank You for Hearing us, our Father Most Gracious and Kind. 'The Lord will Work Out His Plans for my Life, for Your Lovingkindness, Lord, Continues Forever.' (Ps.138:8) In Jesus' Name, for the Glory and Praise of our King, amen.
