WHO ARE WE?

I'm amazed at how easy it is to loose the reason we exsist. Time is not on my side and it sure does keep slipping into the future! With Easter a mire 2 weeks away I pray that more and more people this year will find themselves at the foot of the cross and fall in love with a God that cares for them much more that they could ever imagine. Who are we? Ambassadors is what the bible calls us. Children of God, righteous ones….. We are servants of the most high God. It is only because of Him that we wake up every morning ready to face another day.
Oh God, how I long to do exactly what you have asked of me without delay or interruptions. Once again I give my life to you and I hope that I will not blow it or another day until You come back for me….. soon I hope!

WHAT A MESS

It's amazing how much of a mess I can make when I preach! This past series has been on of the hardest ones I've had to preach. I’ve often felt that I wasn’t qualified to speak on the subjects that are presented. I never stop learning and I’m glad that God allows me to fail many times so I can learn to grow up and be who He wants me to. I think this past Sunday I erred in several areas. Not because of what I said but because of the way I said it. (I guess the sex part should have not been said because I was not able to explain myself because of time restraint). It makes me frustrated when men don’t take their role that God has ordained for them to take and often times when I try to confront it my frustrations come out. Thanks to all of CFC for your faithfulness to walk next to me as I many times walk right off a cliff. I love you all.

SPIRIT WILLING, BODY WEAK

Mark 14:38
38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak." NIV

Oh how true this scripture is! I want to be like Jesus, I want to live pure and Holy, I want to pray everyday and read the precious scriptures chapters beyond chapters, I want to do the work of the ministry so I can bring glory to God. BUT…… my body is weak! Too tired to do this, too tired to do that….. It reminds me of a time when I was about 19 years old and I really wanted to play the piano. I began to get pointers and started to peck away at the keys but before long I was off doing others things that weren’t so time consuming. I still would like to play the piano but I’m not willing to take the time to do so….. and to think, if I would have followed thru with my desire when I was 19, I would probably be a very good piano player now….. what is it that is keeping us from being the best Christians that God wants us to be? Time? Money? The desire? Work? Friends? Family? You name it and if we let it (the thing keeping us back) it will always make a way to slide into our time and take it all away so we can’t follow thru with Jesus.

A LOT OF STUFF GOING ON

Hey everyone, lots of stuff going on inmy life. I don't know how to organize myself sometimes to get all of it done. Remember me in your prayers so I can have wisdom to give the right answers and do the right things that He has called me to do. I wish all there was to pastoring was just preaching.... that would be great! I also wish that people were easier to pastor. It seems that they all want help but they don't want it from God's word. Then when they do want to use God's word, they interpret it to say what their flesh wants to hear. We are truly living in the last days, I can see many many people willing to give up on God and His church just for a few moments of physical pleasure. The scripture that comes to mind is: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world, for he who loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him."
Jesus, I choose You, and all you have to offer, even if my flesh will suffer for doing your will..... I choose YOU!
