Sounds of My Writings: Good but Not God

To often I have witnessed in every level of ministry, secular life, and even in the top of the workforce - some of the most wonderful deeds being performed by earth’s finest people. These individuals are the most optimist, well respected, well to do citizens who are always looking to offer a helping hand.

They feed the hungry, clean communities, offer jobs, cloth the homeless, and even save lives. But, for some unfortunate reason, their hearts are callused and dwarfed by unbelief - in the only God who has richly blessed them. Yes, their hands will never grow idle, but what they have touched has become their only idol.

Random acts of kindness have a place in the human heart. But, nothing can replace the love and presence of a living God in the human soul.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9 not by works so that no one can boast.

Sounds of My Writings: Who to believe

In the past few weeks, it’s been evident that everyone from kings to priests is facing the realities of this Global Pandemic. This micro-virus has literally turned the world upside down and is running havoc in every corner of the world's financial institutions.

While many are waiting, and others are resting in God’s protection it is evident that conflicting opinions are running rapidly. Everything from stimulus packages, conspiracy theories, to the turning of the COVID curve, and prophetic omens are beginning to confuse so many.

So what do you, and I do in times like this? The answer; know God’s prophetic Word, and His Voice!

This is what I am willing to tell you:

Idols are falling, the ancient ruins of our Christian faith and values are just beginning to sprout, and God is just beginning to reveal every hidden motive in men’s hearts. If you are a child of faith anchor yourself not in signs and wonders, but solely in His Word.

1 Kings 22:19-23

12 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. “Attack Ramoth Gilead and be victorious,” they said, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.” 13 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably.” 14 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what the Lord tells me.”

Sounds of My Writings: Surgery of the Heart

During this wonderful week of Passover over 2000 years ago, a special dinner was performed at a house that had just witnessed one of the greatest miracles in human history - a man Lazarus was resurrected from the dead.

At this time a woman named Martha gave her best by honoring Christ with a glorious dinner. Lazarus gave his best by reclining at the table to marvel at the Messiah. Mary gave her best by pouring very expensive perfume on the feet of her Savior and wiping it with her glory (hair).

Judas gave his best by uttering seductive words to lure his hand into the money bag. The Jews gave their best by becoming believers of the coming new promises. And, The Pharisees gave their best by desiring to kill Lazarus, and Christ himself.

What is your best, reveals what is in your heart. Check yourself this Passover week!

John 12:1-6

1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. 4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 “Why wasn’t this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year’s wages.” 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.......
