WITNESS


Good morning on this fine day!

The Lord is great. The Lord is good. He is mighty in power!

Hope you had a great day yesterday on Election Day and you went out to vote. You may think that your one vote doesn't count. Oh but it does. Every one counts.

I work at one of the polls and it is a privilege to vote. It seems as though sometimes that those who complain the most don't even vote. Well, if you don't vote there is no room to complain. So, I hope that you vote.

I praise the Lord that all the people that I work with are Christians. It really makes it better for us when we are with people who are like-minded. We are to go to the non-Christians and witness but we should not actually hang out with them. It can certainly sway us in the wrong direction and I personally do not want to go there. But we are to love them, pray for them, treat them as we want to be treated, and tell them about what Jesus has done for us. But we don't want to condemn them because they don't know Jesus. Scaring or trying to force people to accept Christ is not right. Because there usually is no love there.

Here are some reasons that Jesus wants you to witness. They are from CRU. This is Campus Crusade for Christ. That was sort of my church when I was in high school. It was my youth group since we didn't go to church and it was at my school and I praise God for them.

1. As you witness, you bring glory to God. Jesus says in John 15:8, "By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."

2. The love of Christ compels us to share our faith. In Paul's words, "The love of Christ constrains us." (or compels us) 2 Cor. 5:14. If you have experienced the love of the Lord Jesus, you will also want to introduce him to others.

3. Sharing your faith is a direct command from Jesus Christ. He says, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Matt. 4:19. And, "You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last." John 15:16.

4. People without Christ are lost. Jesus says, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. The Word of God declares emphatically, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12.

I will finish this tomorrow. But remember that God doesn't call the equipped but He equips the called. From Hebrews 13:21.

Have a terrific day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
