Morning Light

To my faithful readers: I did not have a message for yesterday, Monday, April 16, 2012. I spent the entire day in the hospital not as a hospital chaplain; which I was during 2010-2011, but rather as an emergency room patient! I had a large kidney stone passing which literally doubled me up in excruciating pain for most of the day. Successful prayers from my wife, daughter and friends and good medical help brought me through and I am fine now. I just wanted you to know why I couldn't post my daily blog message. Here is today's message and I must say it testifies to God's love and plan for us.




Morning Light

Each day is your new opportunity offered by God

Good morning! “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it!” These are cheerful, uplifting words that help us begin each of our new days with sweet tasting hope and fragrant anticipation of all the what wonderful things our Lord has in store for us today! God does have wonderful things in store for you today. He always does. We are the ones who turn sweet wine into bitter vinegar with our sorry attitudes and our negative habits! We have a choice as to how we will start this day, wouldn’t you agree? We can begin this day in darkness, or we can open our sleepy eyes to the glory of Jesus; who is the light of our world!

Here God’s Word provides our encouragement to help us begin this new day: “Then your light shall break forth like the morning, / Your healing shall spring forth speedily, / And your righteousness shall go before you; / The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. / Then you shall call, and the Lord shall answer; / You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am’ “(Isaiah 58:8, 9).

Be encouraged my friend! Your God in heaven has caused His light to shine upon you. You are His new beginning, and He has great plans for you today. Pray to Him; then listen for His instructions having great faith.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
