Hold Fast

'“Then the Lord said to him, ‘Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground.' Acts 7:33 (NLT)

 Nowhere. No place can I go. Absolutely! Nowhere can I hide. Nowhere can I go that I am out of His reach. Nowhere can I go that I am out of His Holy presence. Nowhere can I go that I am out of the presence of God. Take your shoes off!

 Put off your shoes in an act of reverence. It's a custom in the East. It's a Holy place. It's the place of Divinity. It's a place, or a sanctuary. It's a place to have Hope and to Believe. It's where He manifests His presence. God is everywhere.

Hold fast! He is there, in the burning bush. He is there, at the foot of the Cross. He is there sitting on the Throne of God, among the heavenly host and choir of angels. He is there, at the foot of the hospital bed where another is lying sick. He is there at the altar where we see one finding Him and the salvation that He brings. The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost are there and they are one. Be sure, we are secure.

Holy Ground. It's in the courtroom, it's in the classroom, it's in the workplace, and it's even on the sets of Hollywood. It's in the newsroom, it's in the halls of Congress and it's even in one's own heart. It's anywhere. It's everywhere! Hallelujah to the King! He is Holy. He is Everywhere! He never rests. He is still in the salvation business and is still drawing men and women to Himself. Unselfishly. What a beautiful act of worship.There should be a shout of joy in that. There should be a comfort to the soul in that. He is Holy and He will never let go! Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

Mixing Oil and Water

Image
 ' Behold, how good and pleasant it is     when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head,      running down upon the beard,   upon the beard of Aaron,      running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon,      which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the Lord has commanded the blessing,      life for evermore. Psalm 133:1-3(RSV) Unity? Unity is what God sees and demands of us because He loves us. Uniformity is what men wrongly try to force on one another and try to do to one another and to those things around them. Uniformity leads to chaos. It's a challenge to try to live together in unity when we see the things around us as they really area, different. It's a lot like trying to mix oil and water. There truly are so many things to deal with in life, all of various sizes and shapes and colors and purposes....

Up is Down Times

‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having ...
