I know Jesus but I cuss a little…

I know Jesus but I cuss a little…

Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life. Put away from thee a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil...Proverbs 4:23-27. Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer each one...Colossians 4:5-6…in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us...Titus 2:7-8.


I heard it said if you hit your hand with a hammer then thank God for the hammer…working in maintenance I confess I say a few little cuss words and am trying to get a handle on it. I do not lie or blaspheme but I do sometimes cuss a little usually when a machine breaks or something goes wrong. Hopeful I will again get this under control and be able to not cuss and have my speech without reproach.


Prayer

Father please give me words seasoned with grace coming out of my mouth and no offensive language to those who would be Christian or offended by them…please meet my soul’s deepest needs and heal my mind heart spirit and strength…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

A joke about humility…

A joke about humility…

There was a man voted the most humble man in church…the church gave him a button which said the most humble man in church…they took it away from him after he wore it the next Sunday.


Jesus said…Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven....Matthew 5:3. Jesus said blessed are those who say I cannot live life without you. I think humble could be defined as I cannot do it without You God. We are not to let our left hand know what our right hand is doing when we are charitable…But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret shall recompense thee...Matthew 6:3-4. And James says when talking of faith…faith without works is dead. God sees we do not need to wear a button saying look what I do for God.


Prayer

Father please help us to know You see all things and will rewards us for You are a rewarder of those who diligently seeks you…we forgive those who have done us wrong and pray you vengeance protect and keep us from all harm…please meet our deepest needs and heal us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do you renounce all that you have in order to gain Jesus…yes or no?

Do you renounce all that you have in order to gain Jesus…yes or no?

 

Now there went with him great multitudes: and he turned, and said unto them, If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, desiring to build a tower, doth not first sit down and count the cost, whether he have wherewith to complete it? Lest haply, when he hath laid a foundation, and is not able to finish, all that behold begin to mock him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, as he goeth to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and asketh conditions of peace. So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple...Luke 14:25-33.

 

Do you renounce all that you have in order to gain Jesus…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father we renounce all and surrender to Jesus your only Fathered Son…please remove the effects of evil in our lives because we renounced all and accept only Jesus as our source…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
