Break Those Laws

 












It seems that in our society today, there is such a push to redefine laws.   

Murder is wrong, but abortion is okay.

It seems as though people, in general, want to make the laws say what they would like it to say.

It can be very frustrating. 

In all of the ado about defining laws and making other things okay that are not okay,

I am happy to report that there are still ten laws that God wrote.

They can not be changed or rewritten.

God gave us ten moral laws that can never be changed.  

They are from old and yet we all have problems just following those ten laws.

We can try to adjust them or make his laws say what we want,

but we can't.

No matter how we try to change them, they are as solid as the physical laws like gravity.  

Physical laws cannot be easily altered without consequences.  

If I decide that I do not want to obey gravity and jump from a ten-story building,

Gravity will show up and remind me that it is still the law unless another law steps in,

that is the law of grace and mercy.  

When grace is applied, sin is ruled by the grace of our beloved Lord.

So as we look at society with no moral absolutes, it is good to remember, 

the right will always be right and sin will always be sin.  

It does not depend on us or our opinion.

God has spoken

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday.   She is ninety-five years young.  She recently moved into nursing home.  She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile.  She said the person told her about ten.   Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.”  Hahahaha! What a lady!  She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home.  As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.”  Wow!!! I need to live like that!  I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus.  She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break!  The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept.  As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor.  I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong.   That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him.  I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit.  If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink.  We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others.  As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
