Overcast

It’s mid-week, Wednesday, specifically.  Powerful-Wednesday-Prayers-and-Blessings-2693900952

Here in Lower Alabama, it’s 64 degrees and partly cloudy, my Momma used to say it’s Overcast on days like this. I like that.  I miss my Momma. She departed this mortal life on January 31, 2009.  I am hoping when I see her again, she will be pleased with how I turned out in her absence.  March is a month with birthdays and anniversaries that draw my thoughts to eternity.
Do you have months like that? And is that eternity one of LIFE? I hope so.
And if it is not, it is my earnest desire that The FATHER will seek you out and you will surrender to LIFE, refusing eternal death. I phrased it that way because people seem to be taken with the mistaken idea that one can get saved anytime, just say a little prayer, and boom you have your one-time purchase of your own personal fire insurance policy.  Do you know that is not Biblical?

John 6: 44 For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.

There’s more.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

I think that is all I came to say — Biblical Conversations — I hope this counts as one.

Missing Tears

Why are people immune to HOLY SPIRIT?
I mean it is His job (John 16:8) to convict (convince) people of sin, of Righteousness and Judgment to come.
I mean that is one of the major reasons He is here; can you imagine GOD not doing His job?
Me either. So what is hindering? What could be hindering people from receiving deliverance from sin to forgiveness and LIFE?

Why am I thinking this way?

Sunday.
Sunday the Minister preached a Bible Message – a real Bible Message from Mark 14, starting at verse 32. He brought it home.
There were lots of people there.
Let’s be honest here when lots of people gather even at a preaching service, lots are lost. They may be church members but by the lives they live Monday through Saturday the evidence of salvation is woefully lacking. I’ve heard staggering numbers, although at the moment I can’t put my fingers on them, that as many as 80% of church members are not saved.

Why do people remain lost, when the REAL Gospel is preached?
Why do people in pews sit unmoved — like this very past Sunday?

I think I know one of the reasons.
I cried over them on Sunday but . . . even then I knew my tears were too few.

Too few I fear are the tears of the really saved for the really lost.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-22

19 Quench not the Spirit.
(KJV 1 Thessalonians 5)

Mingled Mulling

I’ve been mulling this over.
Perhaps with a bit of hesitation mingled with the mulling.
I don’t like offending people.

You see, I reared my Girls without the deception of the fat-bellied usurper but with marriages and births, he has infiltrated my family. See my dilemma?

As I said, I don’t like to offend people, be they family, friends, or strangers.  I also find it horribly distasteful to offend the TRUTH.
So here are my choices: run the risk of offending people or offend The ONE Who LOVES us.

Hands down TRUTH wins.

So here it is. Saw it on Facebook yesterday.  img_0706-1

Not Long Enough

Day 26

I am thankful today that this short-term earthly life is not the end.
These short and fleeting years are not nearly a long enough time to love family and friends.  These years are not nearly long enough a time to talk and laugh and plan with brothers and sisters and nieces, nephews, daughters and sons and grands and great-grands.

Have you seen this on the sidebar of this blog?
We don’t live like we believe this I think.

Alas, we cannot deny that these bodies as they are, do not live forever.
They get old.
They wear out. They cease to take us where we want to go as comfortably or as fast as we want to be there.

So what about us does go on and on without end?
Do you know? Do you give it much thought?

The older I get the more I think about what’s coming next; about saying goodbye to this body of flesh that I reside in for now. And not just me but others, brothers and sisters and nieces, nephews, daughters and sons and grands and great-grands.  And there is one thing I want for us all.

I have to ask are you living in the truth?
