This could be my last post.
This may be my last post. For some reason I have been blocked from reading any of the administrators post. I have been blocked as spam. I can’t even get an email address for him so I can let him know I want to keep the blog.
If in fact this is my last post I want the people who will be able to post here that I will continue to read and to even post a few comment from time to time.
I have enjoyed my time as a blogger even though I am not a professional writer, just someone putting down there own thoughts as God has given me the liberty.
To those of you fighting such as Lynn with Faithfully Fighting and Gloria with abbaschild keep fighting.
I hope and pray to be able to post again next week, but if not I pray that God’s will be done.
May God bless and keep you!

FAITH
Where is your faith? Hebrews chapter 11:1 tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
If you are a Christian you have to believe that there is a God and that his son died on the cross for your sins. That is a part of faith.
I have had conversations in the past with people who are atheist. They cannot understand how we can believe that there is a God. I on the other hand cannot under how they can believe that there is not a God a Great Creator. I have often told people that I can’t see the wind but I can feel that it is there. I cannot see my salvation, but I can feel it alive in my soul. Does that make me perfect – no just forgiven.
Hebrews 11:3 through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
We have to have faith. For a non – Christian who has never experienced the love of God or the blessing of salvation and the pure wonderful feeling of the love of God it is hard for them to understand. We have to be ever watchful of our attitude, how we walk before men. Our lives will be the only bible that some people will ever read. How easy can you be read? Do you show faith, the love of God in your life? If they can see something different in our lives, they may want to know more.
Hebrews 11:6 but without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
I wish that I could explain how I feel to the lost and make it seem so real. People are dieing and going out into the immortal world each day. Some have made preparations through faith to spend immortality in Heaven; some have not made the necessary preparations.
I want you to know that one day Jesus will split the Eastern sky and then it will be too late. Will you be changed in the moment of a twinkling of an eye or will you let your inability to have faith cause you to miss out on a great reward? Regardless we will all stand before the Great White Throne Judgment. The saved will hear “enter in my good and faithful servant”, the lost will hear “depart from me ye workers on iniquity for I never knew you”. How sad for the lost to know that they have stood before God and missed out on that great reward. Hell is real and the lost are going to go there.
We all need to be about our Fathers business, witnessing for Him and telling the world about the good news. That good news is Jesus.
By faith we are saved. May God Bless you!

PRAISE THE LORD!
As I sat down to write this morning I wondered what subject to use. I finished part two of Creation dealing with dinosaurs, but I don’t feel today is the day to make that post. I may still tweak it a little bit.
I think I will repost Creation part one Thursday or Friday this week and the post part two next week on Monday or Tuesday depending on the upgrade to christianblogsites.
Today I want to spend a few minutes praising the Lord. Let’s all be honest, we don’t spend enough time praising God and I have to include myself in that. Our Lord and Savior desires and deserves our praise.
We are so unworthy. Our God sent his only son to die on the cruel cross so that we might be saved and go to Heaven and Immortal Glory and just look at how we repay him.
I’m not trying to get down on anyone I just want you to take a little time out of your busy schedule and praise God.
Look at Psalms 111: 1Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2The works of the LORD are great, sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. 5He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. 6He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the heathen. 7The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Take a few minutes and pray for the sick and afflicted. I have several friends who are experiencing sickness whether it is them or someone in there family. Especially remember Lynn with Faithfully Fighting.
May God bless you!

Blocked as spam? Why? Please respond...
Good morning. I have noticed that I have been blocked from some of these blogs because of spam. Is this happening to anyone else? If not what have I done that has caused this? I have even been blocked from the Christian Blog Site post. I pray I have not offended anyone if so I apologize, but I am writing what I believe God is having me to.
I must apologize for being absent from the blog during the past couple of weeks. I have barley been able to read the blogs. I am hoping that I will be able to return with regular post this week.
We are in the process of inventory at work which is putting additional work on me so the blog is taking a back seat.
I will repost creation part one later this week hopefully followed up with creation part two. Please be in prayer that these post will be what God wants not what I want.
On a personal note we have several people in the church that are sick or have relatives that are sick. I also watch for new post from Faithfully Fighting. Please lets keep all of the people in our thoughts and prayers.
I pray that each of you have a good week and have time to listen to God.
May God bless and keep you.

Just a quick update
Good morning. This will be a short post. I wanted to let you know that I have not forgotten about the series on Creation. I was under the weather last week and I am having to play catch up at work. Hopefully the second post dealing with dinosaurs and how they figure into creation will be posted later this week. I have a little more catching up to do and a little more research before I can post.
This flu, sinus infection, sore throat or just miserable cold has just about run through my entire family. My son woke up with a fever this morning and had to stay home.
It is always bad to be sick, but when it is one of your children that makes you feel bad. Sometimes there is nothing you can do to help them, but let it run its course.
If you have a few moment please pray that the sickness will be run out of my household. Also please pray about my post on Creation. I want it to be exactly what God wants it to be. I want Him to get the glory.
Yours in Christ

Random thoughts and important prayer requests
Good morning all. I hope and pray everyone had a good weekend and great services on Sunday.
I just have some random scattered thoughts today and a couple of prayer request.
First of all God is good. Just look at the beauty he created, yes God created it (see my last post as well as a future post hopefully later this week).
Yesterday during our church service a sister requested prayer for a young child 2 years old who has a disease that will eventually rob him of his eye site. One of the fastest way to get me worked up is children especially children who are suffering. I know that it makes us want to question. I don’t understand why something so pure would have to go through any type of suffering or get any dreaded disease. Now don’t send me comments saying that maybe the mother or dad have sin in there life’s and are paying for it through there child. This may be the case but sometimes we just have to accept bad things happen to good people. It just fits into God’s plan. We have to trust him that it is for the best even though we can’t see the whole plan. Help me by praying for this family, I don’t know there name but I do realize that there is a need and as a parent myself I have a soft spot for children and if I were in there situation I would want each child of God to be in prayer.
As long as I am making request this morning I ask that you pray for my daughter. I think she may have the flu. My wife has taken her to the doctor and as I sit here and write this morning they are still waiting, so I don’t know for sure what she has. My youngest son had something similar last week, but he bounced back after a day and only had a fever for a little while. My daughter on the other hand has had a fever for over a day now. Help me by praying she shakes this bug or whatever it is quickly.
Let’s be in prayer for our country. This is an election year so pray that the people God wants in office get in. Pray for our troops that are fighting for our country whether we agree with the situation or not. Pray for the sick, the bereaved, the homeless, the hurting, and the helpless.
Most importantly pray for the lost. I can think of nothing worse even sick and hurting children than for any man woman boy or girl to die in a lost and undone state. We need to pray that God will extend his grace and people will be saved, that they will be able to work out there salvation on gospel terms without interference of man, even if we have the best of intentions. We don’t want to be guilty of deceiving someone.
In John Chapter 3 Jesus tells Nicodemus that you must be borne again. I may be paraphrasing but that is the meaning. You must be borne again. That is for each one of us. There will be no exception to this.
My Pastor made a statement yesterday and he said something that made a lot of sense. He said there are only two kinds of people; those that are saved and those that are lost. It is a true statement. From conception until the age of accountability you are saved. From the age of accountability until you are saved you are lost.
How sad it is that people are turning God away and dieing in a lost and undone state. It’s too late then. You are lost for eternity you will go to a devils hell which will be poured into the lake of fire. Judgment day will be sad when our Lord and our Savior looks at the lost and says “Department from me ye workers of iniquity for I never knew you”.
We need to be about our Fathers business spreading the good news which is the gospel of Jesus Christ and that there is a way to go to heaven and miss a devil’s hell.
I wasn’t quite sure where this post was going but I believe it has been directed by the inspiration of God.
I pray you get a blessing just for reading this.
Later this week I plan to post the second in my series on creation. Help me to pray about that as well.
Until next time may God Bless You!
