Declaration


My Lord, through all that I've experienced in my life, both good and bad, there has been one constant and unchanging presence that has shaped me to be who I am... “My Father who art in heaven”

There is no more awesome power in all the universe than you... “hallowed be thy name”

There is no more important mission or purpose in this life than to seek you and your will... “thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven”
It has been by your provision and mercy as we pray “give us this day our daily bread”, that we are and have been sustained in this world and never by our own hand despite where we choose to lay credit

Our portion as born condemned, is death, but by your unending grace as we pray “forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors” that we become heirs to the unending and incomprehensible riches of a generous and loving Father

I have learned that if there is any security in this world and if I am able to do any good works, that it is inherited of you and as I am permitted by your grace and mercy. That you will“lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil”

I have learned that ALL of the praise, the glory, worship and honor for any good thing in my life are due you "For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever”

Amen

The Real Power To Affect Change

I know that my position here may not be popular on it's face at first, but I think it could be most revealing of where some hearts are - even my own, by the response that it evokes... I think it's possible that we're all partly responsible for the chaos and darkness that is constantly swirling around in the digital tornado that is the constantly hammering news these days. While we may not have contributed to it directly by our own actions, it's a good bet that we may have contributed to it by our own inaction. Where does the true power to change things come from? And who is our best example to follow in this life? Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed." Mark 1:35 (NKJ) "Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Luke 6:12 (NKJ) "Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought ...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...

Judging, Judgment And Judge...

"I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. I will not judge those who hear me but don’t obey me, for I have come to save the world and not to judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged on the day of judgment by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to say it. And I know his commands lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say.” John 12:46-50 (NLT) A lot is said these days about "judging", but in the midst of that popular societal buzz and the assertive comments that come with that conversation, I have a question: If God has called something sin and we simply agree with what He's said,... are we judging or just repeating and declaring the truth? When He walked the earth, Jesus spoke about judging and He pointed out the danger of our judging...  “Do not judge other...
