Horse to Water

You can lead a horse to water,,, but you can’t make them drink !!! In the times I spent around horse’s while growing up,, I can relate to that old timers observation !!

We packed into the mountains on and with horses and did a bit of trail riding on them !! We would come upon a cool, clear stream of running water and that horse would not take a drink, even though he was hot and sweaty from climbing through the mountains !! That was always kind of perplexing to me,,, but,,, I guess they had their reasons ???

That’s kind of the way it is with spreading the Good News of Salvation through Jesus Christ !!! I can show you the way and the truth and the experiences and blessing that I have personally experienced because I have accepted him,,, but I can’t accept or reject him for you !!! That is only your decision to make !!

I cannot send anyone to Heaven or keep them from Hell !! That can only be done by Jesus Christ and your acceptance or rejection of him !!

I can only show you the path to his cool, clear stream of saving Grace ,,,, but I can’t make you drink !!!

I guess we all have our reasons for the decisions we make !!!

I pray your decision is for Jesus !!!

May God Bless Your Day !!!!

Old Saying

There is an old saying that I remembered the other day when I was thinking about some issues.. It went like this ,,,,, “Where there’s a Will there is a Way ,,, I would concur with that thought,,, but I would modify it to say ,,,, “Where there’s God’s Will you will be given the Right Way” !!

Okay, so how do you know God’s Will,,,, well you won’t or can’t unless you know God !!

So how do you get to know God ?? Well that comes only through his Son,,, Jesus Christ !!!

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

There you have it ,,, pretty cut and dried,,, you have to seek, believe, invite and accept Jesus into you heart and life in order to be filled with the Holy Spirit so you will know the Will of the Father !!

Once you accept Jesus into your life,, the Father’s Will,, will be revealed to you and you will know the Right Way to follow to solve any issues or problems you encounter !! You will also be filled/blessed with a lasting peace and security in you new life outlook !!!

Nothing to it,,, but to do it !!!

May God Bless Your New Day !!!

Something Missing ????

Hello All-

Do you feel like,,, no matter what you do or what you have,,, you are still missing something in your life !!!!! Well here is a great article by David Jeremiah from his Morning and Evening Devotions book !!!! It hits the nail directly on the head from my experiences !!!! Enjoy !!!

The Missing Piece Is Christ

In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him.

Colossians 2:9–10

Insight into who you are and why you are here is available only from the Creator, because you were created for Him. The missing piece in your life is not more education or better therapy. The missing piece in your life, if you don’t know Christ, is to put Him at the center where He belongs. God created you uniquely for Himself. He put a vacuum within you that cannot be filled with anything else but Him. When you stuff in all the pleasure and all the madness of this age trying to find meaning in life, you will never discover it. But something happens when you say a simple prayer, giving in to God and receiving Him into your life.

Then Jesus comes to live within you. God loves you, He knows you, He has a plan for your life. He wants you to know who you are and why you are here, and if you will put your trust in Him, He will give you that perspective in your life. You were created in God’s image, so you are really only yourself in relationship to God. When you let God take control of your life through His Son, life begins to have some meaning.

May God Bless Your Day !!!!!!

Exclusively Inclusive

There is a lot of talk and discussion about some things, beliefs or organizations today being too Exclusive and not Inclusive enough !!! People apply this faulty logic to find fault with anything or everything that they don’t agree with, just because they feel it is not Inclusive of everyone !!!

Hidden fact is, most of these, all-inclusive people, don’t really want everyone included, unless they agree with their logic of what inclusiveness is !!!

I can think of only one thing in this world that is completely and totally inclusive,,, no matter who you are,,, where you are,,, or,,, what you are !! More on this below !!!

Okay I have ran into this All-Inclusive logic used against Jesus,,, usually referring to the verse John 14:6 from the Bible !!

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

So what is he saying ???? Basically he is saying no one can be saved from their sin and ascend to heaven to be with Father God,,, unless they believe and accept in their heart who and what Jesus is,,, the only begotten Son of God !!!

Hummmmmm ,,,, I would say that is a pretty exclusive view,,, don’t you agree ???

Well,,, No,,, I don’t agree !!! It is actually Exclusively Inclusive if you look deeper into it !!! Below is a commentary from LIfe Bible App on this verse !!

John 14:6  Jesus says that he is the only way to God the Father. Some people resent Christianity because they think it is too exclusive and too narrow. In reality, the way is wide enough for the whole world if everyone would accept Jesus. But some people want to go their own way. Instead of worrying about how limited it sounds to have only one way to eternal life, we should be saying, Thank you, God, for providing a sure way to get to you!

If you think about it a bit,,,, all organizations, groups or businesses are Exclusive and restricted even to join !!! Be it military, schools, religions, clubs or countries !!!

Look around and you can easily see that any group that is all-inclusive without some restrictions for membership/entry ,,,, never even get started and if they did get started,,, they aren’t around for long !!!

So what is the entry requirement to get into Heaven after this life and be with Jesus for eternity ???

Well,,, in your heart,,, you have to believe and accept that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God,,, in your heart,,, you have to believe and accept that Jesus was God in human form on earth that came to save us from our sins,,, in your heart,,, you have to believe and accept that he was crucified and took on himself all of our sins and the all sins of the world,,, in your heart,,, you have to admit to him that you are a sinner and ask him for forgiveness of you sins ,,, at this point he will fill you with his Holy Spirit and Peace and take you to Heaven when you pass from this world !!!! You Are Saved Now and Forever at this point !!!

Roman 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Here is the All-Inclusive part of this Exclusive Heaven,,,,,,,, anyone can join by just inviting Jesus into your heart and life,,, rich, poor, ugly, beautul, man, woman, black, white, pink, red, purple, yellow, brown, young, old, good or bad,,, anyone can join,,, just believe in Jesus and ask him into you life !!! He will change your life,,, guaranteed !!! I pray you will do it now,,, if you haven’t already !!!

Okay,,, so above I mentioned that there is one All-Inclusive group that will take anyone without exception and without restriction !!!! That would be the Devil and Hell,,, anyone,,, in fact everyone,,, that refuses Jesus will go there when you pass from this life !!! You don’t have to do anything special to qualify for Hell,,, just reject or put off, until to late, accepting Jesus in you life and heart !!! Then just continue to live your good, bad or indifferent life just as you always have and spend eternity separated from God in Hell !!! I pray you will take action now so that won’t be the case !!!

Thanks and May God Bless your Day !!!!
