A Few Simple Question (or are they)?

Today I have a few simple questions to ask.

1) How are things with you?

2) Just how bad do you have it?

3) How important is salvation to you?

The above questions must be answered honestly by you. On the surface these questions may seem simple, but as you search deep within yourself they may be more difficult to answer than you first thought.

After you have honestly answered the questions go to Daniel chapter 12 and read the first four verses. This is where we will begin next time.

Feel free to comment, just remember it will sometimes take me a couple of days to post.

Now I must request a small favor. When you are praying, after you finish praying for the lost and all other things needful, please remember me. I have a very huge burden and unspoken prayer request.

A brother in Christ.

A

TIME

Hello to all my Christian Brothers and Sisters.
It has been a long time. Time??? There is never enough time. I will try to get more active in the future with this blog (once again). My job changed and I now travel a lot with very little computer time.
Today I want to take a couple of minutes to update you on the status of my family. Our oldest son is away at boot camp. He sent a letter a few weeks ago. He has been sending them all along but this one was and still is very special. He has been saved! Praise GOD! We prayed long and hard and God answers prayers.
Now to change gears for a brief moment:
I used to post at another web site, but I found myself banned (unable to post or leave comments) because I agreed with another member (who I thought was correct and still do by the way). I did not think I deserved to be banned, but it is what it was.
I visited that site again today. I was looking to see if any of the people I had fellowship was still there. It did not take me long to figure out this site is not a place for me. I miss the fellowship I once had there.
I am not going to resort to finger pointing, name calling or running anyone down. I will however call a spade a spade.
I understand there are many different religions in this world and for the most part (maybe?) they are striving for Heaven. There is such a difference of opinion that other members are unwilling to see the truth or they are just simply afraid of being proved wrong, how sad. It is like any other version of the Bible. If you are not reading the KJV you are being poisoned. If you can take the KJV with Book, chapter and verse and prove me wrong on this I will be willing to accept it.
Be careful what you read, who you listen too and especially what you believe. You do not have to eat a lot of poison for it too kill you. A little mixed in with good food will do the job.
I am proud of what I am able too stand on, who I am and Who I belong too.
If you are seeking God and want too be saved make sure it it God who tells you that you are saved, not man.
I make no apologies for this post. I am posting as I am led. I pray this is all God wanted it to be. It is what it is.
By the way, comments are welcome. It make take a few days for me to publish them, so don't get upset if I can't take care of it immediately.
Pray for the lost that they will be saved and not deceived!
Your brother in Christ,
Brent

Thank You!

Praise God! He answered my unspoken request. Thank God!
Thank you for helping me to pray!


God Bless!

Folks, I have a huge unspoken prayer request. Will you please help me pray that God will work everything out the way He sees fit and send me what I need?
God Bless!

Let me begin today by telling you that if you are a new reader too my blog, if you found this through Facebook or you just stumbled in here, I am just a simple “country boy” saved by the Wonderful Grace of GOD!

I hated English in school and if you keep reading you will see in print that I barely did enough too get by. My writings are mostly what God inspires. Sometimes I will post personal stuff.

So whether you are a new reader or have been with me a while I ask that you take all mistakes for love (the way I write, not what God inspires) and I pray that something I write (with all glory going to GOD) will be a blessing too you.

In my last post I asked what I though would be a simple question. That question was: What does Easter mean to you?

Is Easter one of two Sunday’s you attend church? My father – in – law says that you are a C and E Christian, meaning you only attend church on Christmas and Easter. Yes I do expect a bigger crowd at church this Sunday. That is sad. The world ought too be hungry enough that there is standing room only in the churches today, not just on Christmas and Easter.

I received one comment with one answer from a blogging friend and Brother in Christ. Here is what he had too say: “Well Brent, knowing what Christmas means to me, it will probably not surprise you that Easter means even less (as the paganistic, worldly holiday that it is, and I'm not going there at this time). But I'm sure you know what the Resurrection means to me.”

I happen too agree with what he has to say. Christmas as well as Easter has become too commercialized. The world wants Christ out of both holidays. Both now lean more toward pagan rituals. Should we celebrate? I say yes, but not for the reasons you think.

Christmas was never celebrated in the bible as a holiday with the exchange of gifts. The Easter bunny was not in the tomb with Jesus on the day the stone was rolled away carrying his basket full of goodies.

Peter and James did not stop to pick up brightly colored eggs and chocolate bunnies as they ran to the tomb to see if Jesus was still there.

Folks I do not want too burst your little bubble, but you must see! We celebrate Christmas, because it marks the birth of our Lord to this world. We Celebrate Easter because it marks the death, burial and resurrection for the remission of our sins, so we ALL will have the opportunity too be saved from death, hell and the grave.

Both Christmas (the day of Jesus’ “Earthly” birth too a “virgin” woman) and Easter (the day death was defeated) must be taken for what they represent, not what they have become. We must thank and praise God for sending His Son to a cruel world, where He was born, wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger. HE fulfilled scripture by entering the world this way. HE fulfilled scripture by dieing and being raised again.

I leave you today with this verse from John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. Scripture is still being fulfilled as we draw toward the end of life as we know it here. One day this verse will be fulfilled. How do I know? Through faith believing. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. This verse is found in Timothy.

God Bless!

Hi guys,

I hope you were able to attend our Easter program, if you were not I hope you remembered us in prayer.

I usually do not want too be involved in any type of play. I am one that likes to set back, watch and enjoy.

I remember we put this play on back in the '80's, during my teen years. I was not in the play, but I remember it well. I remember how powerful I thought it was.

I asked during the rehearsals of our Christmas play if anyone else remembered the Easter play, and I quickly found out that with all of the younger people in the church that only the adults remembered.

One thing led to another and we decided too try and put it on again.

I really enjoyed being a part of this a generation later. I was truly blessed, not because of being in the play, but because of the message that was in the play. I think everyone who was involved in the play felt the same way I do.

I must tell you THE BLESSINGS OF GOD ARE WONDERFUL! I pray everyone in attendance received a wonderful blessing. I pray that everyone who prayed for us received a wonderful blessing.

I am going too close this post today with a question and I really want you to think about it and answer carefully: What does Easter mean to you? Note: Easter Bunnies need not answer.
