" THE DAY OF JUDGMENT "

Welcome, come on in and stay awhile, Question for you DO YOU KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR? This weeks message will be on the " DAY OF JUDGMENT. " "In the last days" Mockers will say that Jesus is never coming back. The " last Days " is the time between Christ's First and Second Comings; thus we live in the last days, and it is wise that you grasp this fact. we must do the work to which God has called us and believe that he will RETURN as Promised. God is not slow; he is just not on our timetable. I'm of the mind that Jesus is waiting so that more sinners will repent and turn to him. The wicked and the proud will finally get what they deserve. If it seems as though God ignores the evil and proud people of our day, be assured that a day of judgment will come, just as it came for the people of Judah. I for one believe that God is waiting patiently for sinners to repent, but when his judgment comes, " None Of Them Shall Remain. " What you decide about God NOW will determine your fate then. Whenever we begin to trust in jobs, the economy, a political system. or military might, for our security, we put God in the back seat. Don't allow your money to lead you into sin, as money has a strange power to lead people into sin. Remember Paul said that " The Love of money is a Root of all sorts of evil" (1 Tim. 6:10). It is ironic that we use money - a gift of God - to by things that separate us from him. It is tragic that we spend so much money seeking to satisfy ourselves, and so little time seeking God, the true source of satisfaction. LAST POINT: Now if God did not spare angels, or people who lived before the flood, or the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah,he would not spare those who do not know him as Lord and Savior. Now there are some who believe that God will save all people because he is so loving. But it is foolish to think that he will cancel the Last Judgment. Those three examples should warn us clearly that God judges sin and that unrepentant sinners cannot escape. Until Next Time... Jim,

SELF-WORTH / SELF - ESTEEM

Good Morning to you, well here we are again another week has come and gone. We are about to step into the Spring of the year and I wish you my very best. Every thing is coming alive, God's creation is bursting at the seams. Now this weeks message is entitled SELF-WORTH / SELF-ESTEEM, Lord Willing you'll have a better understanding and grow. Since God chose to create us, we are valuable in his eyes; (2) We are more important than the animals. Now our true value is God's estimate of our worth, not our peers'. Other people evaluate and categorize us according to how we perform, what we achieve, and how we look. But God cares for us, as he does for all of his creatures, because we belong to him. So we can face life without fear. Listen, our self-esteem is found in knowing that we are created in God's Image. Now, one may ask in what ways are we made in God's Image? God obviously did not create us exactly like himself because God has no physical body. Instead, we are reflections of God's glory. Some feel that our reason, creativity,speech,or self-determination is the image of God. More likely, it is our entire self that reflects the image of God. We will never be totally like God because he is our supreme creator. But we do have the ability to reflect his character in our Love, Patience, Forgiveness, Kindness, and Faithfulness. Knowing that we are made in God's image and thus share many of his Characteristics provides a solid basis for self-worth. Human Worth is not based on possessions, achievements, physical attractiveness, or public acclaim. Instead it is based on being made in God's image. Because we bear God's image, we can feel positive about ourselves. Criticizing or downgrading ourselves is criticizing what God has made and the abilities he has given us. Knowing that you are a person of worth helps you love God, know him personally, and make a valuable contribution to those around you. LAST POINT: God saw that all he had created was very good. You are part of God's creation,and he is pleased with how he made you. If at times you feel worthless or of little value, remember that God made you for a good reason. You are valuable to him. Until Next Time... Jim,

" THAT STILL SMALL VOICE "

Listen, I want to thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. This week we will be looking into Hearing The Voice Of God. You know the further away from God that we get, the harder it is for us to hear when He is Speaking. God is our friend, but he is also our Sovereign Lord. Now, to approach him frivolously shows a lack of respect and sincerity. When you come to God in worship, do you approach him casually, or do you come as though you were an invited guest before "The King Of Kings?" If necessary, adjust your attitude so it is suitable for approaching a Holy God. I've heard some say that they never hear from God now or ever. Question, are you available, you know God uses ordinary people? Do you remember the last time that you were used by God? I'm reminded of a scripture 1 Kings 19:9 we're told that the Word Of God came to Elijah: Now the actual verse says: " Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the Word of the Lord came to him, and He said to Him, " What are you doing here Elijah? " Our Lord and God will always find a way to communicate with us. After all we are his children, and we must always be listening and watching for him. He certainly got his people's attention when he divided the sea before them so that they could pass to escape the soldiers of the pharaoh, another time with a pillar of cloud he led them by day,and with a pillar of fire by night to light for them the way in which they were to go. Then he came down on Mount Sinai, and spoke with His People from Heaven; He also provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger,you likewise brought forth water from a rock for them for their thirst. Our God can be pretty clear of his wishes when he communicates with us. Through Elijah's encounter with the Lord we learn that the Lord communicates with us and it's unmistakable. Now Elijah knew that the sound of gentle blowing was God's Voice. He also recognized that God doesn't reveal himself only in Powerful, Miraculous ways. To look for God only in something big ( Rallies, Churches, Conferences,Highly Visible Leaders). May be to miss him because he is often found gently whispering in the quietness of a humbled heart. Are you listening for God? Step back from the noise and activity of your busy life and listen humbly and quietly for His guidance. It may come when you least expect it. Until next Time... Jim,

" LONELINESS "

Good Day To You, this week we will be looking into " Loneliness. " Nobody wants to be alone,nor should we ever experience loneliness. Loneliness is everywhere - many people feel cut off and alienated from others. Being in a crowd just makes people more aware of their isolation. Now we all need friends who will stick close no matter what, who will listen, care, and offer help when it is needed - in good times and bad. I'm very blessed in this area and you know who you are, thanks for always being available. It is better to have one such friend than dozens of what I call superficial acquaintances. Instead of wishing you could find a true friend, seek to become one. There are people who need your friendship. Ask God to reveal them to you, and then take on the challenge of being a true friend. Loneliness makes us feel sorry for ourselves. When you are tempted to think that you are the only one remaining faithful to a task don't stop to feel sorry for yourself. You see self-pity will dilute the good you are doing. Be assured that even if you don't know who they are, others are faithfully obeying God and fulfilling their duties. Jesus used Parables to explain that although Christianity had very small beginnings, it would grow into a worldwide community of believers. When you feel alone in your stand for Christ, realize that the Father is building a worldwide kingdom. He has faithful followers in every part of the world, and your faith no matter how small, can join with that of others to accomplish great things. Do life's problems always seem to go from bad to worse? God is the only one who can reverse this downward spiral. He can take our problems and turn them into glorious victories. But there is one very necessary requirement - we, like David, must cry out, " Turn to me and be gracious to me." When you are willing to do that, God can turn the worst into something wonderful. The next step is yours - God has already made his offer. Until next Time... Jim,
