O Lord


God almighty, who is like You?

The title of this message, and the subhead, I have taken directly from (Psalm 89:8 NIV). I continue with this same verse, as it states; “You are mighty, O Lord, and Your faithfulness surrounds You.” Wow! What a beautiful Scripture this is! The psalmist, with all reverence, cries out to God recognizing just how awesome and powerful He is; and then proclaims there is not one who can compare to Him. Yet, with all His power and might, we understand God is surrounded by His faithfulness and mercy. Thank God, He alone is God. So, where are we? Well, we are in the palm of His big hand, which He opens constantly to observe how we are doing. As the Scripture says; His faithfulness surrounds Him so are we also surrounded with His faithfulness then. Our understanding of this reality should bring us great comfort, and it does!

Satan is defeated in our understanding of who God is, and by our unswerving faith in what His Word reveals to us. God’s Word is always relevant, and applicable to what we will ever experience in our lives. There is nothing in this world, nothing in our lives that God’s love and faithfulness can not mend. Do you worry? Are you frightened? Concerned? Are you feeling all alone? In Jesus’ name, I declare here and now, these disturbing mind states to leave you. You are a child of almighty God and He is your shield! You can believe in His love and His faithfulness to heal you.

Please listen to how (Psalm 91) encourages you and me: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. / I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Nothing else need be said, God loves you and He will protect you. Selah.

Be of good faith, God loves you He will be with you in your trouble, He will deliver you. He has promised He will (Psalm 91:15.)

A Dead Battery

Last year, around the end of summer, our power-mower gave up the ghost. It was getting harder and harder to start every time I wanted to use it. So, I finally gave in to buying a new one. Bless her heart, my wife Sally told me if she didn’t have to pull that difficult, old starter-cord every time she wouldn’t mind helping me mow every once in a while. She even said it might be good exercise for her. This extra help with the yard work would be welcomed I thought. I went online checking out the outrageous prices of new lawnmowers; it had been four or five years since I bought our last one. Most of the retailers; Lowes, Home Depot,  WalMart and Sears were priced about the same, still way too much for me, but if I was going to get something Sally could start easily it would have to be one of the new key-start models where she didn’t have to pull a cord, she could just turn the key, like her car, and it would start right up. I bought one of these new models.They are great! Last week, an

We Rob God

Were God a greedy God He would expect ninety percent of our earnings leaving us the remaining ten to support our needs, He doesn’t though. Instead, He asks exactly the opposite of our potential, one tenth, a tithe. Have we excluded God out of our plans? Sure we have! Do we continue to exclude Him from what we want to believe is rightfully our world, our government, our lives? We not only exclude Him, we deny Him of what is rightfully His from the very beginning. Even worse, as a nation, a world, a people we deny He exist! We have declared He has no place in our government, our public buildings, and our schools. Pity us, it is no wonder we are under a curse as a nation with so much turmoil in our lives – we are robbing God. This is not a sermon, but wait, yes, it is! We are truly guilty of “me-ism.” We have become a world of “what about me?” Our insatiable greed has consumed us, so we have no choice but to continue feeding our monster, because it’s demanding more and more. Nothing is

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
