Friends are gods way of taking care of us!!
- A Poem for Memorial Day
-
Forget me not.
Remember rockets red glare
bombs bursting in air
gave threw the night that our flag is still there.
Our forefathers reminder of a price to be paid and responsibility to inherit the United States.
Rockets red glare bombs bursting in air
Words fallen on ears unwilling to hear.
deaf no more we all know now the price of freedom the price of war.
Freeborn children listen and see a new generation paying for you and me
Don't be so blind or so deaf to the sights and sounds Americans have left,
Let freedom scream in our ears and minds never forget those left behind.
Freeborn children stand tall and see! does the banner old glory yet wave for thee
God bless AmericaBy: Bill Chance

Jesus, You're the friend who'll never leave me.
You're the friend who'll always understand.
You will not forsake me or deceive me.
You'll stay by my side until the end.When I'm afraid, You'll put Your arm around me.
You're the faithful friend who's tried and true.
No matter what the troubles that surround me
You will find a way to get me through.Your love is strong, it's deeper than the ocean.
It's higher than the moon and stars above.
When earth and stars are gone and time has ended,
I'll still live, rejoicing in Your love.Saturday May 16, 2009 - 06:46pm (PDT) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Entry for April 06, 2009/BARABBUS OR JESUS

~ BARABBUS OR JESUS? ~ ".......But they kept shouting, crucify! crucify!" ----Matthew 27: 23. ************ ********* ***** People can be so unpredictable. The multitudes seemed to love the Lord Jesus when they thought He was going to bring in an earthly Kingdom and make things better for them. When it looked like His power was broken and He would not establish an earthly kingdom, as they expected, the same people seemed to turn on the Lord and accuse Him falsely. When the crowds rose up against Jesus, even His friends had fear, and did not stand by Him or speak up in His behalf. Those who were close to Him denied knowing Him, and let fear control their actions. His own did not receive Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords as He did not comein power, as the type King they desired. Isn't that like many in the world today? Many get all wrapped up in the earthly powers and politics but leave the precious Savior out of their lives. Many acknowledge Him only at their convenience or if they have the approval of others in doing so. This is not true worship, as they that worship Him must worship in spirt and in truth at all times. The people were given a choice to make on that day when Pilot could find no fault in Jesus. They shouted, "crucify him" and Pilot asked, "what has he done wrong?" Pilot had no real reason to execute Jesus, and his conscience told him Jesus was an innocent man. Roman law said an innocent man should not be put to death, still the mob raged on for the Lord to be crucified. When the Jews threatened to report Pilot to Caesar, he became afraid. One of Pilot's duties was to do whatever was necessary to maintain peace. Fear of man and desire for power caused him to let the mob who had gathered have their way. People seem to still be crying "crucify Him" today, by their actions and by not taking a stand for what is righteous. Pilot proved he was more concerned about political expediency than of doing what he knew to be right. Although he had several opportunities to do right, he choose to leave the decision with the crowd by asking them who should be released when one could be set free under their law. Barabbas was a condemned and notorious criminal who had taken part in a rebellion against the Roman empire. Jesus was the innocent Son of God with no crime or sin in His life. Given a choice, the people chose Barabbas, a murderer and revolutionary, to go free, instead of the innocent Son of God. The angels surely must have looked upon the Lord and cried on that day when Jesus willingly gave His life's blood to paid the price for the sins of all mankind. We know they rejoiced also as His sacrifice gave hope to a lost and dying world and glorified God. Today, we still see people making a choice of Barabbas over Jesus. Barabbas represents the sins and guilt of the world, which should be punished. Many people still choose sin today over the Lord Jesus Christ. Many choose human power over the Son of God. These cannot see ahead in time to know what the result of their choice will be. They let sin continue to reign in their mortal bodies when Jesus calls them to be set free and choose Him. As the question in an old song says, "Jesus or the world, my friend, which one will you choose?" There is only one right choice, and that is to the Lord. Pilot was guilty of making no decision and in doing so, let the crowds decide to crucify Jesus. We see in Scripture "he washed his hands" and said he was innocent of the blood of this good man. This did not take away Pilot's responsibility of sin or guilt. Sin still remained although he may have felt a false sense of peace. One cannot make excuses for their mistakes or failure to acknowledge the Savior. Each person must take responsibility for every decision made and we shall all stand before the judgment (Bema) seat of God one day in judgment. If you are ridiculed for your faith, remember the Lord was mocked and scorned more than anyone. Words may hurt but they should never change or stop our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We must always choose Jesus and also take a stand for what is right in the eyes of the Lord. The world cannot give true peace and neither can it take peace away from God's children. We have been given a gift from above and are to guard what has been entrusted to us and keep our hearts in a right relationship with our Lord at all times. Our choice is Jesus and is the greatest decision one could ever make. Thanks to the Lord who was a willing sacrifice and died for even those like Barabbus, who could be saved if they would only receive Him. We have a great salvation for which to be thankful and a Great Savior with a love which can never fail. May He be given the highest praise! When He was on the cross, we were the ones on His mind when He looked ahead in time. Thanks to our Lord for seeing who we could be and dying to set us free. His gift of love is the greatest gift of all! Blessings In Christ, Jo Ann Kelly © 2009, 2004 http://www.my. homewithgod. com/jpinspiratio ns

~HAVE YOU MADE YOUR RESERVATION?~
Have you made your reservation
for a home in gloryland?
Do you have your ticket
purchased by the blood of God's perfect Lamb?
Have you accepted God's free gift,
Do you have assurance in your heart,
Do you know Jesus has forgiven your sins
to give you a brand new start?
Have you let the blood of Jesus
wash away your sins,
make you pure and white
as you touch His nail scarred hands?
We must make our reservations
while in this land we stand,
if we plan to live in heavenly mansions
over in heaven's gloryland.
Jesus must be welcomed
when He knocks at our heart's door,
if we plan to enter heaven's gates
over on those golden shores.
If we let the Savior abide within
make Him Lord of all,
then our reservation will be secure,
when we answer life's final call.
We don't have to worry
about the price or entry fee,
for the mansions prepared in heaven
for a child of God, are free.
Jesus paid the cost
when He shed His precious blood
all because of His great love,
that we might have a home above.
So hold on to the Savior
as He leads you along life's way,
we'll claim our inheritance
on that blessed and glorious day.
We'll enter in with joy
to abide forever with the Lord.
Won't it be wonderful on that day,
when we receive our final reward?
Blessings In Christ,

My special prayer is that we may
See good in others who pass our way
Help us find in each a worthy trait
That we can gladly cultivate.
May we see in each one passing by
The better things that beautify
And hear soft laughter of cheer
A kindly face, a smile sincere.
May we help others in despair
Share their burdens here and there
Try to understand those in distress
And help them to find happiness.
Dear Lord, before each sun has set
May we do deeds we can't forget
Offering a hand to one in pain
Doing it for love not gain.
May we find a word to ease a troubled mind
Of one who feels fate has been unkind.
A special prayer, dear Lord, we pray
To see good in all who pass our way.Tags: myspecialprayer Friday February 27, 2009 - 03:32pm (PST) Permanent Link | 0 Comments
