...but the greatest of these is real love.

Faith is nice. Hope is needed, but love rocks this world! 
God loves you. He always has and always will. Please don't miss experiencing love.

And above all things have love – cuz love never fails. Did ya know that 55 times in the New Testament alone we see how you and I are to show real love. 

Faith works by love – it’s the prerequisite to faith. It’s the preeminent grace, it is the permanent virtue, it is the path upon which a real born again Christian must tread, it is the perfect gift. Give love to God in worship daily. Give love to all kinda people that He made. Protect, help and feed em. Tell em what’s so. It’s the prescription for a happy home. Love isn’t God, but He is love. He SO loves you! I like faith and hope but love is a more excellent way for us.
What is real love look like? Like this. 
If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love. In the Bible God says of it...
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
You can know this love today. Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.  1 Corinthians 13:4-10. How could anyone really love without Jesus Christ? Remember Him and His Cross? Not really sure. Facebook.com/shareJesus

How do you know if that was really a bad thing that happened, believer? Might not be. How do you know if that was really a good thing that has happened in your life, believer? Well, the Bible clearly tells us of many things that are good and it also clearly tells us what sin is.

It's one of the most laughed at and mocked stories that's ever been told.. but it actually happened.

He can still guide those who want Him to do that.

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" (Isaiah 30:20) "Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you.." (nlt)

Many people of our day love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God -- let's live full throttle by faith and see that changed!



Took things in stride and wasn't into the strive. Jesus stayed in fellowship. Therefore he never passed up an opportunity that His Father had for Him -- He shared the truth with the woman at the well and because of this the woman turns and ended up being an effective witness. John 4: 28-30

You can know the Lord and be a witness too.

"Our greatest fear shouldn't be that we won't succeed, but rather, that we'll succeed at something that doesn't matter!" ~ D.L. Moody

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? --Romans 8:31



So little time -- let's use it all for the glory of God! Man, at least three strokes!.. my younger brother Kyle almost died this week.

It's a good day for each of us to be faithful, informed and thoughtful when prayin'.

We have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men. —1 Corinthians 4:9

It is a joy to pray for people. It's a joy to serve Christ ..no it's even better than that.. it's a super-joy to do so ..in whatever capacity that He chooses to use each of us in! 
A good rule for praying Christians. Pray earnestly and specifically in private and do the same, but short in public. Keep it simple and to the point. Remember to thank, praise and worship the Lord -- He so deserves it. 

It seems to me that God has put us (His church) who opt to earnestly pray for the people of our Land and for the other Nations too -- those who bear His Name and His Message on stage in a theater so to speak (though it's really not a "play" at all).. in which so many hearers don't seem to want to hear or buy a ticket for this theater if ya will. It seems at times that we’re something everyone stands around and just stare at, a spectacle.. like a bad accident in the middle of a big street. Many hope to see the Church fail, but let's keep prayin' in faith (with the right address on it--to God the Father in Christ's Name) anyways. Daily. 

Know Christ! Let's Pray For All Of Our Leaders...

Paul in Romans 13:1 said, "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God."
Jeremiah (29:7) said, "Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."
See Psalms 2:10-11 "Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.  Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling."
And See Proverbs 11:14 "For lack of guidance a nation falls, but victory is won through many advisers."
Proverbs 21:1 says, "The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will."
Glad for Job 12:23-25 still being in the Bible: "He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them."
It's good to both hear and do what the Word of God says. See the context of Proverbs 2:1-8. Sure God gives us stuff to do, "1) My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, 2) turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding— 3) indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, 4) and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, 5) then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. 6) For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. 7) He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, 8) for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones." Facebook.com/shareJesus

“Christian terrorism does not exist, Jewish terrorism does not exist, and Muslim terrorism does not exist. They do not exist.” ~ Top Leader of a YUGE Rome-based organization

When their biz is supposed to be with Good News but it ain't then run, don't just walk to the exit door. Yeah, ditch when they're sayin' it's true but it's 100% fake news in-place of the Good News.

Comanche Indian wisdom declares, “When you discover that you’ve been riding on a very stationary (dead) horse, the best strategy is to dismount and then not go find another unhealthy or stationary decaying beast to mount up on.”

In business, in churches or denominations, in government and (sometimes) in education oftentimes strategies can be tried in vain with dead horses… including the following:
  • 1. Buying a stronger whip.
  • 2. Changing lead rider.  It’s good to first inspect the whole horse.
  • 3. Saying things like, “This is the way we have always ridden dead horses.”
  • 4. Appointing a committee to study the horse as maggots arrive.
  • 5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
  • 6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses.
  • 7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.
  • 8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability.
  • 9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today’s environment vs. in history.
  • 10. Changing the requirements, declaring, “This horse is not actually dead.”
  • 11. Hiring contractors to ride the dead horse.
  • 12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
  • 13. Declaring that “No horse is too dead to ride.”
  • 14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse’s performance.
  • 15. Funding a study to see if contractors can ride it cheaper.
  • 16. Purchasing a product to make dead horses run faster.
  • 17. Declaring the horse is “better, faster and cheaper dead.”
  • 18. Forming a quality circle to find uses for dead horses.
  • 19. Reviewing the performance requirements for horses.
  • 20. Saying this horse was procured with cost as an independent variable.
  • 21. “Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.(My personal favorite!)
Not original with me. Comanche author unknown. But there seems to be many versions of dysfunctional strategies, click here .. facebook.com/shareJesus

I just like the bright sunny days.. much better than other kind of days.

How about you? What's your day like?

When your world grows dark or real max-dark ..and it might do that at times… Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me, you won’t have to walk in darkness.”

Be encouraged friends.. yeah, regardless of what’s goin’ on outside or inside your tent so to speak. The Lord is there. He rad-loves you more than words can describe -- He closely watches over you, believer, and He’s the Answer no matter the question, the struggle, or the fierce trial. Loves you so much He can’t take His eyes off of you. It’s true! There for ya. 
Christ suffers with you if you are suffering. Can do a lot when we simply believe, but He feels what You feel right now. He didn't cause any of that negative fallout we see.. you know, from Adam's fall upon this now sin-cursed planet. He gave us all a free-will, a really good thing to do. And He understands you 100% ...what you're going through today. He'll hold your hand..tight and He totally knows your current struggles, pains, your hardships, your frustrating losses, li'l and apex-fears, your frustrations and shall I say mental anguish at times.

It's a bit too early to quit now. Fight on.. with that good fight of faith.

Jesus weeps with you when life goes lame, but He totally delights in you too. You don't have to remain in control of it all really -- perhaps you've tried to work diligently and do that at times. Just pause, pour out your heart to Him. Reach up, get candid, very real with Him when you need to. He gets it.. even hears all those unspoken requests from you. Duh--they WAY important to Him cuz you are to Him! He can indeed handle any brutal honesty from you on any day of the week. Just find some comfort in His strong arms and rest in His presence today! Sure, you're called "Beloved" cuz you indeed are.. rad-loved. (Should worry, but have a bit today. Am prayin' for my brother Kyle and his family today)

"For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. 'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." ~ God

Bad company, it just corrupts good morals.

http://kurtwvs.tumblr.com/post/156847883073/he-or-she-who-would-not-often-or-even-seldom

Not really sure which team to pull for with this #Superbowl, guess I'll just root for team USA and our leader who regardless of all the media-lies has been keeping his good promises.

Thought of the day... Fret not. Don't worry about it
Be like salt, be like light in this dark world. Take some positive action that is appropriate to lift up the Name of Christ. The best way to fight error is to pray earnestly and wisely spread the Gospel Message. 
Sometimes if we do nothing or say nothing against what's wrong, the evil in this world just seems to grow -- it seems to prevail. Remember what happened in Germany with WWII?   
You might not like where you currently are but don’t fret, believer. Just choose to abide in the Lord instead of to strive independently ..Iike so many do.
Think about it, the fretting, the anger, the depression, all that anxiety has to do with you not getting what you wanted, or still desire. We don’t always get what we want but if we look to the Lord will get what we need – Jesus as our chief Shepard promised to meet all our needs simple as that.
It is God that’s now in charge of your steps and your missteps believer. He is leading your steps as Lord, spiritual believer.
Of King David. "Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act." Psalm 37:1-5
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, so that in due time He may exalt you. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be sober-minded and alert.1 Peter 5:7

My schedule is too full for another ungracious Soros-funded mob crisis.

Why such a push for no boarders?
That's SO of worldliness in our day. Humanitarianism can happen properly – it doesn’t have to be the smoke-screen for some else, Frau Merkel and Hollywood celebrities.
God ain’t a one world Gov or a one world religion Globalist. He’s a kind and practical Nationalist kind of God–He created the nation’s and appreciate so many of the differences.
He deeply loves you, man or woman, and He loves the Nations of men. Doesn’t want em done away with here. We can all be together worshipping the Lord on earth in the millennium later on.
Not to scare anyone.. but one day soon there’ll be a one world Gov with the anti-Christ, and a one world religion with a False Prophet here.. but that day is not this day. This could certainly be the day for the Rapture (the catching away..up) of the Church though–be ready in Christ!

What makes all the difference in the world; what's the deciding factor?


For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.

I'd say a clay jar is a fairly un-flashy humble kinda vessel as far as vessels of service go. Daily honoring Christ as Lord.. by the right thoughts, attitude, deeds, and words is the deciding factor. #PrA

Turn your eyes away from the problem to the Lord who delights to solve it, and earnestly pray for your friends today as well.
