Panic Attack!

With gas prices rising 10 cents per gallon overnight the last thing you want to do is succumb to a panic attack. To be sure gas prices are inflationary, everything else will eventually rise, which in turn will have a negative effect on every household in the country, which contributes to more and more crime as more and more people get more and more desperate.
Panic is a form of fear which paralyzes and immobilizes us thus preventing even the best of us from making rational, Godly decisions.
For those who have a bad track record of making bad decisions the situation is magnified numerous times over.
God, in His infinite wisdom, had me to include Lesson 5 Rash and Hasty Decisions and Lesson 7 Finances and Retirement in Crossroads of Life to head off disaster and assist you in making rational, Godly decisions. It can even be downloaded in Kindle or E-book form for greater savings.
No need to panic--help is as close as the internet or local bookstore carrying Crossroads of Life.

Come Rest a While

Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. I work in for the schools, you know the place where prayer is outlawed. everyday I encounter tired, weary, exhausted souls who can seemingly barely put one foot in front of the other. Most of the time I'm able to speak briefly to them, listen to their plights and offer a brief prayer. For the most part they all share a common malady--consumed with their occupation, unable to even utter a prayer for themselves, let alone attend a worship service. But they are grateful for the brief time I share the Word with them.
I also find dedicated workers in the Church who are like Martha in Luke 10:38-42, they are cumbered or so overloaded with work that they have very little time to sit at the feet of Jesus and get refreshed. Matthew 11:29 admonishes the weary to take time out and learn about Christ and promises that in so doing that weary soul will find rest. While the Matthew passage is primarily speaking of sinners and unbelievers being burdened with their load of sin, but it also speaks of simply having too much on our plates, to the point of exhaustion. This ought not to be so.
I just finished a series entitled Spiritual Mirages wherein I defined a mirage as having no substance, an illusion, it has only a human foundation. A mirage does not have to have a religious label, it may begin as a recreational sport which eventually becomes a mirage, though it may have some sound basics and ethics which teach good behavior, self control etc., yet because it is not founded on the Word of God, it is but an empty mirage.
The passage in Matthew not only admonishes to attend worship, but to also to be an ardent student of the Word.
Everyone who asks me how I am gets the same; I'm still blessed! As they give me a bewildered expression I explain that I experience the same woes as they and everyone else. I experience sickness, death, I have a mortgage, bills to pay, cars to repair, but through it all I'm still blessed as a Child of the King of kings, No matter what befalls me, I'm still blessed!
That gives me rest, even with the burdens life throws, I'm blessed and and I'm at peace!
I beckon you to come and sit at Jesus' feet and learn of Him and receive His rest He has for you.

Election Year

With the presidential election breathing hot air down the back of our necks. How do you decide who to vote for?
Questions to ponder: Which party is God? Is he a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or write in?
Perhaps He's a non-affiliate. How do you know? Can you prove it?
With so many choices on so many candidates and issues, how do you know which one is the right one?
With so many conflicting reports on both sides of the issues and candidates, how do you sort through the confusion?
What issues are God for or against? Is He for an issue or candidate because the issue passes of the candidate wins?
Read Crossroads of Life Lesson 11 for the answers to these and other important questions.

Call it Sunday School, Training Union, home study or whatever you want; disciplining is a vital part of the Church today. The Apostles followed Jesus' example of training they and trained other to take their places. The pastor can only do so much in the Sunday messages, sadly not enough to properly prepare YOU for ministry. Who ever you are--get involved in being trained in and for ministry.
