God's plan: Salvation
From the beginning of time to the blood of Christ to the end of time. God's plan has been for the restoration of man to Himself. To not only give us choice but to give us the ability to obey from the heart that we have a Maker and He alone can save us, love us and seal us in His Salvation.
Romans 6:17
But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered.(NKJV)
We are chosen. We know this to be true because He sent His Son for ALL, not just one. We know we were purchased, this was by this same Son's Blood. And we know that we are sealed, for if you believe the first two statements then you are trusting in this purchase of the One that died for you and me. In knowing the truth, the gospel of your salvation and believing, you were or are sealed with the Holy spirit of promise.
Read Ephesians 1:1-13.
Today we had several ask for prayer, to ask for Jesus to come into their lives. Two came forward to openly accept the Lord. May God be praised for these children of God hearing His call.

Thursday Night Bible Study
We just finished up after having our weekly inductive Bible study.
It started out full of all the noise of the world. It started out dry and hard...but as we started to praise our Lord and sing His praises we all began to have a lift in our voices. Each and every heart started to soften and cry out to our Lord and Savor Jesus.
What a great night!
We studied Isaiah 10:20-26 tonight. How awesome it is to be able to freely gather, to sing praises and to study the Word of God. The grouping was a blessing to this home and when the men started leaving after, they spoke of God! He defeated the noise of the world in each of our lives, He restored each of us again.
I pray that you have a home study, a place to go where you can get into God's word, a place to have accountability and share His grace. I pray that you Practice your faith. To practice sharing His love.
We pray for the salvation of all the lost, Our families, Our friends, Our enemies for God sent His Son for all to have eternal life. Remember...
Isaiah 10:27 It shall come to pass in that day [That] his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, And his yoke from your neck, And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil. (NKJV)

Capitolism
Investopedia Says:
In such a system, individuals and firms have the right to own and use wealth to earn income and to sell and purchase labor for wages with little or no government control. The function of regulating the economy is then achieved mainly through the operation of market forces where prices and profit dictate where and how resources are used and allocated. The U.S. is a capitalistic system.
How about those old fashion thoughts?...next they will say that the U.S. was founded on the fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in mind.
John 8:32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.(NKJV)
Know the truth! Watch for His return1

GM Bankruptcy
I sit here tonight trying to come up with the right words to explain my thoughts on how big this moment in time is for me. I have been following GM for years. My first cool car was a 1968 Camaro. My friends and I used to argue over the finer points in life: Ford Vs Chevy. And now they are not only in bankruptcy but 70% of the company is now to be owned by the United States of America. Did you know that Capitalism is dead and that we are a Socialistic state? How far has America come in just the last few days.
Do these changing times make you look to the Bible?
He knows our works, our labor, our patience, our lies, our false witness and He cannot bear those who are evil. We have left our first love. Revelation 2:2-4
We cannot save GM nor can we save ourselves. But my God alMighty has already given us a way to be saved. To be redeemed and to not be bankrupt.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (NKJV)
I read the book, God wins!

California Proposition 8 (2008)
I have to agree with the Newsweek quote:
"Whether you like it or not".
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
We all have to make the choice, to acknowledge Him or not.
The only answer to this proposition is for Christians to pray for all who fall short. This would be for every man women and child that lives on this earth. Definition or not, Men and Women everywhere need to be in prayer for all the lost. The sins of this world separate all from Him.
We all need to confess our sins...
Romans 10:9
for if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him form the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 13:13-14
Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. 14. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill it's lusts. (NKJV)

President Obama and fair minded debates.
Your life is on the line, you have no protection and the one person whom you should be able to rely on is the one threatening you with death.
Have you ever wanted a just and impartial; not prejudiced, fair minded debate?
It is an awesome idea to be fair minded and debate, but what happens when the person who is most affected cannot speak out. When the one facing death is an infant. Who can speak for them?
Please pray for all those infants that are killed because they had no Choice and could not have a fair minded debate prior to birth. Keep our President in prayer so his eyes may be opened.

Faith and President Barack Obama
Faith and President Barack Obama,
The journey has just begun for the President, and in only the first few months we have seen change. President Obama has made choices in leading this country, good or bad he has made the choice. In his spiritual life he has made choices too. We can look at his political choices to see what his Christianity or faith is like. When we look at these months of change we might see a man of faith, or do we? We might see a man of conviction, or do we? We might see a man of strengths, or do we? We might see a man of love, or do we?
What I see is a man, acting much like King Ahaz as in Isaiah 7.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%207;&version=50; (copy and paste)
He was fearful and led a people that shook like leaves in the wind. Making choices that led the people away from God. What I see is that this is the time for change in President Barack Obama’s life. As in Isaiah 7…we are the voice being sent to the ruler, by God to tell him to: Take heed, and be quiet; do not fear or be fainthearted. And to trust in God because: Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
Let us not condemn a man, let alone the President of the United States in his time of trial/authority? It is time that we stop complaining and honor God for placing President Obama in power for this time. This could be and more likely will be the defining hours of how President Obama is brought to a true and full commitment to Jesus Christ.
Now…how about you?
Are you placing God first and looking to Him to see how we help our new President Make Godly choices. Are we the ones that are unfaithful by complaining about a President that does not understand our choices? I ask that each and every man, women and child to pray for our President. First and foremost to pray that He has a true and real encounter with Jesus Christ. In that the President would come to our Lord and Savior and repent of his sins. Please pray for the Salvation of him and his family. And that President Obama would lead by following Jesus and the calling that Christ would put on his heart.
Let us give all praise and glory to our God and King. May Jesus Christ rule and reign in our hearts. Let us seek His will in our lives and let us show His love to all mankind by telling everyone we meet how great and awesome our God is. Amen.

My son's home work.
The way to follow God:
Have you ever had the worst day and thinking tomorrow will be dreadful? Well now here is your chance to join together and build your house on the rock (rock=God). God is among us all. Check the bible and see how He can change your life like other people in the bible. They're positive written answers. The answer to all of your questions. Just ask OK. There is a plan for you from God. God's face is even brighter than the sun up close! There at church is a bible wanting to be read by you. At church there will be people to help. Read the bible and pray every day.
P.S. everyone isn't perfect.
I share this with you because I love that my son trusts in and loves God.
