Warm Hearts and Homes

Gallery Leave a comment

We are thinking of you as this year of 2012 wanes its way to the place of memories. Some we will hold fondly; others will bring tears and praise that HE brought us through!

No home and no heart is perfect but let us give a good faith effort to make both our hearts and our homes places where JESUS will feel welcomed and actually enjoy living with us today and all of 2013.

Luke 12: 33  . . . make for yourselves purses that don’t wear out, riches in heaven that never fail, where no burglar comes near, where no moth destroys. 34 For where your wealth is, there your heart will be also.

35 “Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit,

I may get called away any moment with puppy cries; at the moment she is sleeping; has been for more than an hour; how long are puppy naps, anyway?

Perhaps I will borrow again this morning. My YOU VERSION was good again today.

TWO IN ONE

God looked on His creation of man and saw it was good. Still, something was missing. Man, although created in God’s image, did not express all those beautiful characteristics of a tender, loving God. Therefore, God decided to make woman. Man needed a “helpmate.” When God completed His work and like a proud father presented her to Adam, the man burst out in poetic exclamation: This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man  (Genesis 2:23).

Alone, neither man nor woman can express all the qualities of our God. God created male and female, and together they bear the image of God: So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them (Genesis 1:27). It takes both male and female to make humanity.

Marriage was ordained to bring man and woman together as a unit, completing God’s creation. Jesus lays special stress on this principle: But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate (Mark 10:6-9). In our marriages, we need to properly reflect the character of God.

Perhaps I will get back to writing over the next few days and in the mean time I am grateful for some really really good writings of others.

Is There Life In It?

Mark 4:17 but they have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time. Afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the Word’s sake, immediately they are offended.

It’s a stump, y’all!

No roots. Has had no roots for almost 6 months and green sprouts keep coming, but they don’t last. What am I getting at here? This: The LIFE OF GOD is only in people ROOTED in CHRIST JESUS. And His counsel to us is Don’t be fooled, Little Flock.

Matthew 7:21 “Not every one that saith unto Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in Heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that Day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy name, and in Thy name have cast out devils, and in Thy name done many wonderful works?’

23 And then will I profess unto them, ‘I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.’

via Matthew 7 KJ21 – “Judge not, that ye be not judged. – Bible Gateway.

In these days of hypocrisy run a muck we must be alert, discerning and bold to speak the truth in love.  I cannot too strongly urge you to diligently pray over your families particularly in regards to the people, doctrines, organizations and movements they take to their bosoms. Let us be reminded the Evil One parades himself as an angel of light (2 Cor. 11;13-15) and we must come against him with effectual, fervent prayer.

ABBA, I ask You to minister Your Word as You will in JESUS name.

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,
Praying (PFT)!
