"Taste and see..."

"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him" (Psalm 34:8).

I am thinking as we witness for the LORD, we are not unlike those who strategically station themselves in the aisles of many of the popular grocery stores offering free samples of Hill Country sausage bites, fancy party dips, fresh crab salad on a cracker, and other irresistible, good food stuff. Like these friendly "servers" are doing for their employers, we say to a friend or to a complete stranger; "Taste and see that the LORD is good." We offer these; whom we believe don't know the LORD as their personal savior our suggestion they get to know Jesus by "sampling" His Word by reading the Bible, or attending church with us, or listening to one of our favorite Christian message cd's. We offer them their opportunity to get to know this wonderful Savior of ours so they too can experience the joy and reassurance of their salvation just like we have. We offer to share our LORD by offering them a taste.

(Song of Songs 2:3) proclaims; "...His fruit is sweet to my taste." And, (Psalm 119:2,3) says, "How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth." If we are faithful messengers of His Word, disciples of Jesus, we postion ourselves before others ready to tell them about He who came to this world to save it. We kindly offer others to just a sample His goodness and see for themselves how good He is!

"Oh, just taste and see!" Amen.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.

Confused By False Prophets

Paul, an apostle – sent not from men nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father – “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel – which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!” “Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ” (Galatians 1:6-10). Matthew; the first book of the Gospels warns in (Chapter 7:1-5) “Watch out for false prophets.” Accurately, these are those who in our present time, like in the time of th...
