Come Holy Spirit, Help Us Pray


In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words, and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

Romans 8:26-27

Take a Club to Twisted Rhetoric


Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.

Philippians 2:12-16

What do we do when those in government have turned crooked and twisted?  Do we stand by and let it go on or do we stand up and fight for what is right?  It is not a question of being liberal or conservative; it’s a question of loving and caring for all humanity. 

We stand up.  We give those in power heck or hell.  We torment them day and night.  We become a thorn to them.  We shout the Word of God. 

When what is good and righteous and innocent is twisted to be something wrong, it is our job to take a club to the rhetoric and hammer home the truth of the Word of God:  God loves all people. 

We do not run in vain, we run to shine light.

God's Kindness Leads You


…Do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?

Praise The Lord No Matter What


Let the glory of the Lord endure forever;
Let the Lord be glad in His works;
He looks at the earth, and it trembles;
He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Let my meditations be pleasing to Him;
As for me I shall be glad in the Lord….
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord.

Psalm 31-35

The Ultimate Pardon


Seek the Lord while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the Lord,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

Isaiah 55:6-7

God Is Waiting To Welcome You


For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. 

Romans 10:11-13
