Love's First Kiss

My 3rd child got married a few weeks ago. The above picture is their first kiss EVER! Yes, you read that right. They did not even kiss each other until they were pronounced Husband and Wife by her brother. 

I have told my children since they were old enough to understand about being intimate with someone to give your Husband/Wife a gift you have NEVER given to anyone. Save yourself for your spouse. Pray for your spouse now before you even meet them. God has one out there just for you that He picked out for you. 


Have you saved your best for Jesus? Do you keep a part of yourself JUST for Him? We are to keep ourselves pure and ho;y. The Word says.....Be ye holy as I am Holy.....We are not to go chasing after something that goes against the Word of God. We are to STRIVE to be Holy and set apart for His service.

I know that we live in a society that says it is alright to do what ever you want.....if the Lord Jesus lives in your heart, you CAN NOT do just as you please. There is no such thing as Once Saved Always Saved. No there isn't. I have never read that in the Word of God. Don't be deceived. Keep yourself set apart for Jesus..

A real Independence Day

Since this is Independence  Weekend coming up, I want to share some thoughts with you.

We used to live in a free country. Now by that I mean, today I have to watch everything I say to make sure that I don't OFFEND anyone. If I want to talk about God, or Jesus, or the Holy Ghost, I'm expected to be careful in selecting my words so make everyone happy. How DARE I take a stand on anything Biblical? How DARE I talk openly about the Lord?

Scripture says that the Word is an offense to people. Why? It is because of CONVICTION. Pure and simple. People , even those professing to be Christians, don't want to feel conviction. They don't want to know that they are living in sin. They like it there in the pits, struggling in the miry clay. They only want to hear that God is Love.

God IS Love! But God is also a JUDGE. HE will judge you for everything you have ever done in your life. If you are born again and live a Godly life, and all your sins are covered by the BLOOD of Jesus, your actions for His Glory will be judged.

One day, the Scriptures say, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess, that Jesus Christ is Lord. Those whose names are written down in the Lamb's Book of Life will kneel and confess their love for Him. Those whose names are NOT found in the Lamb's Book of Life will also kneel. They will be BEGGING God to forgive them, yet it will do them no good. God is a just God.

Where will you spend eternity? Is being Politically Correct worth your soul? Is trying to keep a friend really worth your soul? Hell is a place to shun. There will not be a big party there. Far from it. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth......Fire and heat, and you will never burn up...just exist.....nothing will stop it. It will go on and on and on and on and on.......

If you have just stumbled upon this, Praise the Lord. If you don't know Him as your personal Savior, you can say this little prayer, meaning it with your whole heart.

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I am so sorry for the things I have done. Please forgive me of all my sins. Come into my life and cleanse me and make me whole. Give me a new life in You. thank You Lord for saving me. Help me to walk in Your paths. Amen.

Now if you have prayed that prayer and meant it. You are a born again Christian. Find a church near your home and go to the first service that the doors are open.  You are to CONFESS with your mouth..meaning, you are to tell your friends and family what the Lord has just done for you.

Memorizing Scripture

When I lay down to sleep, and Scripture runs through my mind, I am comforted. I know that I have tried to hide the Word in my heart. Have you ever heard the saying, "That Scripture will be brought to your remembrance"? I have. And He does bring it to my memory. I may not remember it word for word but I know enough of it to get my point across.

I know a great man of God, by the name of Tommy Peterson. He lives down the road from me and preaches often at my church. He can quote great passages of Scripture as he is preaching. The Holy Ghost is a wonderful helper like that.

I am learning Scripture with my Sunday School Class......The older a person gets the harder it is for our brains to remember. Yet I will press on and make this old brain to do something that it CAN do.
