I was ending my day with heavy afflictions. My hobbies did not give me rest. I couldn't read the bible. Even my friends who visit me did not lift me up. I really did not know what to do. I turned my face to the wall, sat and told God my problem and sins.
Then I changed the channel on my TV and tuned to a 'christian' station. They were having a telethon and the show brought me back to remember something. I used to support this television station with regular giving.
But ever since I noticed some 'pastors' spending most of the time in the lobby of that 'christian' television station. I realized that that television station had turned into a 'church' were some few individual control the spirit of the station.
I stopped giving totally and have no regrets. I see them now spewing out their whim doctrines. A a television which was a wonderful channel for the gospel had its perfect ruin from the work of Satan. God says that if anything is not focused on him, that group is not christian.
Yes many call themselves by God's name and proclaim things, but the end result is to focus on themselves and not on what God has to say. Religion bases on what man does is not of God. Turn to 1Thessonians 2:4-6,
["...4But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
5For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
6Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ..."]
Now these characters have no intention to represent what God has to say at any time. Turn to Phil. 2:19,
["...19But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
20For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
21For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
22But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
23Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me..."]
And these individual are truly giants in the literal sense and call them selves by God name. And the fact of the matter is that this persons truly believe they have angelic parents and have some real 'heavenly' power. Turn Gen. 6:4,
["...4There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown..."]
And they believe they can grow children to God at will and certainly believe that God does not choose whom he has foreknow and elected to save. They really belive they can invoke the holy spirit on anyone them choose.
To finish this 'giants' or Anakites of the industry. The bible dictionary label them in hebrew meanin "long-necked or strong necked" And certainly dragons have long necks and strong necks. And these people are known to God. Turn to Jude 3-4,
["... 3Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ...."]
Yes these folk deny the word of God to teach and tell other people what they itch to hear. They give and offer a Jesus them can accept on their own terms, and the Jesus of the bible. All in order to continue to be giants and have the mega churches. May you be blessed. Amen.

When things get dire...
Sometimes I end the day trembling because of the trouble we have in this life. The constant sniping from satan and his emmiseries can run us down to near zero strenght and near zero faith. But it all has to change.
When we life our eyes and see the Lord and remember his words that he will never leave us nor forsake. And in fact we have nothing to fear in this life no matter if we walk in the valley of the shadow of death.
Some of us have illnesses or have cronic unemployment or just plain want to give up on life. But if we only took a hard look at the majesty of God and try very hard to understand and percieve that the Lord is faithful and can be trusted to answer when our storms come.
Why don't we do just do that forget all that our troubled heart tells us and listen to what Jesus want to tell us for our own good. We turn to Palm 23,
["...1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever..."]
Why don't I take this six barrel shooter verses and point them right at Satan and tell the devil, let me tell you six things in case you have forgotten...the Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want...!

Go figure the situation...
After a long session of turmoil and anxiety after Passover, we thought and look brightly ahead to the good things God has for me and us. For God says, I know the plans I have for you, for good and not for harm...
But I lost my temper today in the most disastrous manner and I'm not happy. How long shall we endure the ploys of the wicked? No there's not trophy for being right when relationships are ruined and God laws disobeyed.
The only one who would be happy now is the devil. He managed to pick and pick at a relation until it had the last straw and the volcano of fire and ash explode and ruin the whole scenery and neihborhood.
We turn to Isaiah 29:13,
["...13Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:.."]
The Lord has his own brand of indignation, when we invent doctrines and whim of our own imagination and call them 'christian'. Certainly some are so that are the ones who perhaps think they bring glory to God, by their whims.
The Lord says, their hearts are really far away. And he can even talking to me right now? And I examine myself right now. Do I really represent God by the things I say and more particular by the thing I do?
Nay, losing ones temper, is not the christian life. So we pray that tomorrow will be a better day. Today we cashed in for a loss and we have nothing to glory. If we can glory in something- it's Gods mercy and forgiveness.
May God bless you and may he have all the praise and all the glory. Amen.

There a commercial which annouces a mother who is concerned because her son is in trouble with the authorities and her freind tells her, "Don't worry about it, just call so and so...!". It sounds like a comforting statement.
But then ask a mother whose son has cancer or is in drugs or jail? You just don't say, "Don't worry about it!" Jesus told the Pharisees in Luke 14 this matter,
["... 1And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
2And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
4And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
5And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
6And they could not answer him again to these things..."]
I was fretting with my subject who gives me a stumble all day and felt afflicted. Then I came home and went to fix the flat on my bycicle and couldn't find the place. And I thought I was afflicted.
So I gave up the fight, went into Albersons Star Buck and had a coffee, a sure remedy to get my priorities right. The Lord told me in my heart, " The faster you get you soul together, the sooner we can look for lost soul and tell him about me..."
The I realized that Satan had been very successful in stumbling me and mixing my head so I can't stand get on with the issue of proclaiming God. So I went home, put my flat tire aside and go on the business to pray and meditate on Gods word.
You don't tell God when one of his souls is lost somewhere, " Don't worry about it...!" And it comes to pass that in someplace Jesus speaks of some who will say, my master is delayed and go and eat and drink with the drunken.
And the Lord will come in a day he doesn't expect him and put him with the hypocrites. I got a dab of that. I was so worried so much about who give me trouble and forgot who is in real trouble with his destiny. May you be blessed. Amen.

The blogger account...
I have blogging account and in my mind is in the outskirts of town. I know there's no virtual distance in the web and no address is so far away that we cannot reach it just as fast as a close one. We also have LockedJournal account which we also appreciate.
We also have a facebook account which we also use. And we use all of them. Each site has a particular spirit to it. Some are confined. Some are open. Some you have to write fast and in others you feel like you can take your time.
Sometime how you write is determined by the spirit of the blog site. This site has a freindly spirit and I am reminded that I'm a guest and I like to remember that in what I say. We want to stay here until a long time, God willing.
I use all he sites to keep producing. I was watching a movie about a baker who was instrumental in mending peoples lives and someone eventually mended his life. I feel like a baker. I wake up very early and love to share what I experience and read in God's word.
Like I'm doing now. It has been so rewarding to give myself away. My troubles, my hangups, my anxieties and apprehensions. The fact of the matter is that I will only be around once. And many time I asked the Lord to give me something significant to do.
And he gave me this, give your life away. And that's what keep me alive, giving my life away. I've made so many wonderful freinds here and learned from them, you so much. And I learned to have sympathy. That aspect in myself is always under repair.
We didn't turn to any scriptures here. I just want to ask you to pray for me so I can turn the page on my life and give away another piece or page of my life away. I love you in the Lord and feel so blessed to write and read from you on this site. May you be blessed. Amen.
