Sin steals your blessings and your joy!

A few years ago I was working in an insurance office and there were two women agents at that time. One was a lady about ten years younger and the other about ten years older than me. The younger girl hadn't been saved long and had had a daughter with a man she wasn't married to. She was on the phone with him now and she was almost in tears as he was being extremely cruel to her about something, but it was painfully obvious to the rest of us this was all due to her previous lifestyle. The older lady turned to me and said we pay a high price for not following the Lord. She then went on to say he doesn't punish us for our past sins it's just the natural occurence for sin. That really stuck with me, because we have all heard our actions have consequences but I had never heard sins has consequences, but it is true ladies and gentlemen. So remember the next time you are tempted your decision in that split second will affect all the rest of your dats!!

Sin is beneath you #2

I just felt like I had to say this one more time


Please!!


Have more respect for yourself than to allow filth to have a handle in it. You are more precious than that. You are worth more than that. You are too good for that.

You may have lived surounded by sin all your life. You may be the poorest of the poor. You may be uneducated. You may be the talk of the town, but I want you to know that if you give your heart and soul to the Lord Jesus he will wash away all your sins, he will make you again a new vessel. You will be achild of the most high King and you will be too important to allow sin to ruin your life and steal your blessings.

Old Testament

Joshua 3

New Testament

Mark 16

A simple question

What have you done for the Lord lately?

Have you been fishing for souls?


Do the souls of your fellow man really concern you?


Do you really believe in a devil's hell?


Then what are you waiting for? Let's see souls saved for Jesus

Lord light a fire under us and make us realize people are dieing every day lost!

People need the Lord!!

When will we realize that we must give our lives for People need the Lord!!

Important Prayer Request

I received an e-mail yesterday from a brother in Albany, Kentucky by the name of Jimmy Shelley. Jimmy lost his precious daughter Tara six years ago that also took his father. Jimmy says the Lord has given him some peace, but still he would like to know why. When I read that I was reminded of the song "Farther Along" it simply says Farther Along we'll know all about it, Farther along we'll understand why. So many thing in this life we don't understand and just can't, but one day we will know all about it and until that day we have Romans 8:28 that doesn't promise us everything will be good, but that he will work it for our good!

Sin is beneath you!

I am convinced that the vast majority of the sin we allow in our lives is simply because we don't value ourselves enough. We don't think of ourselves as being above sin. As too good for sin. Now please don't misunderstand what I am trying so hard to say. There is one illustration I can think of that illustrates the point. Think of teenage girls for example, some of these girls in a possible effort to feel loved or for what ever reason allow boys to use them for their own pleasures. While some teenage girls know better and don't feel the need for meaningless encounters. You see those girls have the belief they are worth more than a one night stand (and they are, they all are) because of the value they place on themselves they won't let some jerk have an opportunity to ruin their lives no, no their life is much to precious for them to allow that. And so it is with sin and our lives. We need to recognize and realize that our lives are just too important and too valuable to allow sin to creep in and take our dreams and hopes with it. I was thinking just this morning how when Adam sinned it made his work become burdensome where as before it had been sweet. Do you ever feel like your working really hard but not getting anywhere? Could the reason be secret sin? The life God wants for you is so grand and so exalted that if you knew the magnitude of it you would value yourself far too much to allow sin to ruin it for you.
