Thrilled about the gospel

Why I'm thrilled about the Gospel of Christ

The Apostle Paul said it the best, as I use the words / verses from his books.  You see, Paul got saved, he met Jesus on the Damascus road, that day the S-O-N out shone the S-U-N,  I say, Hallelujah and praise the Lord!!

1. because of it's power
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom1:16
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1cor 1:18
For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 1Thess. 1:5

2. because of it's plan
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

3. because it's personal
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received 1 Cor 15:1,3
But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts 1thess. 2:4
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Rom 10:15

I'm glad I saved, born again and called to preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ

A southern male by birth and a saved Christian then called preacher by the grace of God.

The wisdom of men

The other day while surfing social media, Twitter, I saw a bible verse that was quoted from 1 Cor. 2. This chapter is not one of those often quoted chapters, but yet was still quoted on Twitter. Those Chapters and verses that are not often re-quoted a lot usually grabs my attention.  And usually I will read the previous  verses before the quoted verse to get proper understanding, that's when God spoke to my heart and mind, 1 cor. 2:4-5  4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (and I kind of like the NAS too), that says, 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

God spoke to my heart and my mind urging me to repeat and declare this great truth.  Our faith should not rest nor stand on "the wisdom of men" but on the power of God.  So many times what we believe is based on what we hear and see of men, and many times it's man's wisdom. In man's convincing, we put to much of man's words, wisdom and way. When in reality with our faith should rest and stands on Him. The power of God, for the gospel is the power of God, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. There's so much that could be said here, we see it's to every one, the religious and the all knowing educated, all who simply believe. And it's God ways. Not by works of righteousness that we have done,  not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.

It's all God and with His power performed in us and through us. And I can rest and stand on that great truth. I rejoice and do rejoice.  Men can convince you through his words and wisdom, but faith and salvation should be based on the power of God, meaning His ways, words and wisdom. So then, faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God. And I says Amen to that :-)

But dear friend, do you need to be saved ?? the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation, to ALL.

May God Bless you,

The first part of Christmas

Christmas begins with Christ

Obviously, the first part of the word Christmas is Christ. It is very fitting as we see this hidden yet obvious great truth. But so many times in our secular and Christ less society Christmas is made to be everything but with Christ.  Frosty, Santa and Rudolph have taken a big part of the message. I realize all of these are the secular fun part of Christmas and to each his own on this.  But the gap gets wider and wider as the years go by in our new millennium. We are 16 years into the 2000's and there is less and less emphasis with Christ.

Perhaps, there are many reasons for this, one of which is many religions do not believe in Christ. They reject and deny Him, as the bible says in the Gospel of John, he came into his own and his own received him not.  Also, there are the  agnostic and atheists who have their say.  And,to me, ALL of this is so sad as I have been  raised from a child to believe in God and Jesus. I have been taught a faith based religion based on the word of God, The Holy Bible.

But the truth is the truth and the obvious is obvious, as is this, "CHRISTMAS begins with Christ"  and that's enough said. We can also quote an old reoccurring phrase "Jesus is the reason for the season" Does that sound familiar, it's a truth and now have to remind the world.

Wow, I just checked Google images for "Christmas" and wow, what did I find ??  Christmas trees, Santa and Christmas declarations and all things because of the season, but nothing about Christ.  Folks, this is why as Christians have sound the alert and stand for Christ !!

But dear friend, do have many questions about Christmas?? If so, become a child of God first, be saved, be born again, ask Jesus into your heart,  so with heart man believes and with mouth confession is made unto salvation, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, the bible says, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, yes sir, call on the Lord, confess and believe. Amen.

God Bless you,

(as you read this blog, conviction plus belief will equal salvation)

The Three Rs revsited

In my early educational life, I was introduce to Three Rs of education, Reading, writing and Arithmetic.   I must admit that it did not mean much to me back then, but now, the good Lord has shown me the important of it. Honestly, I have mentioned this before in an earlier blog, but as I was having prayer time with son, before I took him to work, I explained it to him and I would like to the same with you today.

The Three Rs of education is suppose to cover all parts of your total education. I know many will disagree and say it's old fashion, but the old ways and old paths do not bother me. So first R is reading.  If there has ever been a need for reading it's today's day and time. Reading is really the collecting of the information. Wow, how important is that for our jobs and everyday life.  It's the information age and we need to read so much these days!! Of course, as a gospel preacher, I recommend the Bible, God's word. I was raise on the KJV version of the bible, but if I had to choose a modern translation it was be the NAS, One suggested bible study method is to include a modern version along with KJV.  (Honestly, the KJV shades light on all new versions, haha !! at least for me)  :-) 

But reading, the collecting of information, God can help you, open your eyes and see clearly on the needed things of life and with Him.

The Second R, writing - notice the letter R in writing.  At one time, that meant hand writing with a pen or pencil, now it means typing on a keyboard. But writing also a form of communication, to communicate your thoughts and action, to informing others needed information. It's writing.  And if there has ever been a time to collect information and then communicate it then is it today's day and time.  I wish I was a better verbal communicator, but with reading and much writing with God's help, it will help me to verbally communicate better.  Many of us write on social media in each of it's forms. A form of communication, who would ave thought of it's important many years ago and look how it is now. And God can help us.

Then the third R is arithmetic. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing numbers and things. We are literally calculating all things.  Again, in our day and times, what we do we need to do but calculate problems and solutions. Out mind needs to think and turn to operate.  What is the sum if we add it all up?? What is the product if we multiply things and numbers together?? What is the dividend if we divide numbers and things ?? It comes from God's help and our calculations. 

So as my son and myself had prayer time in the old F150 pickup truck, I added Lord help us with our Reading (that we may collect information, then our writing (that we may communicate good information) and help with our math or arithmetic ( that we may calculate thing and figure thing out) with you help Lord.

Well, to figure out your soul's salvation, it's just to trust and have faith in Him.  For God so lived the world that He gave his only begotten son, that who so ever  shall believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.  For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, For with heart man believes and with mouth confession is made unto salvation.

God Bless you friend, and remember the Three Rs when you pray !!

Something has got a hold on me

The other day, one my co-workers saw a story about a squirrel attacking people and he showed it to me.  Of course, my mind went back to the Ray Stevens comical song about the Mississippi squirrel in the church.  My coworker had not heard of it but it was on 
You-tube.  

First many think loud verbal out breaks from people in church is a funny thing, as they have never felt the presence of the Holy Spirit that makes you laugh or cry, or laugh and cry at the same time. But, there was one line in the song that jumped out at me that said, "something has got a hold on me !!" And after that the meeting got on.

And so it has been for me in times past, I have been in meetings / revivals were service after service seem to be slow and down, even like a car stuck in the mud, then all of a sudden the Holy Spirit moves, and something happens. Either a father or mother confesses doing wrong or the children confess their love to their parents. Or it could be a soul saved.

When the right move is made by that person, under conviction by the Holy Spirit, the service comes alive and many move towards God.  But usually it takes one, one who will step out and say yes to God, or even confess a sin, or answer a call to the Lord's work. As the Holy Spirit moves on your life, well, it rather does feel like something has a hold on you !!

And the next thing is to stop and make immediate confession to God. You may start privately and pray by your self at the altar, but ultimately public confess has to be made know, (for with mouth confession is made) see you public confession is made, the bible teaches in Psalms that they are things God's people need to see, so an outward confession needs to be made. You need to let the God's people and others know, "something has got a hold of me"

And so it will be for your salvation my friend, as God moves on your heart through reading the scriptures or hearing a sermon or bringing you through a rough situation. As God speaks you need to respond. The bible says for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. And that could be you, you could be the next one God, through the Holy Spirit gets a hold of.

God bless you,

A lost man's rebuttal

Hello again blog followers,

Well being the social media preacher that I am these days, I have encounter another rebuttal, one who refuses my beliefs and teachings of God and the bible.

I have had a full frontal attack and challenges of my beliefs and God. It some what amazing to me at first but then it is also very sad as many reject God and the bible. I remember back in the 1980s and 1990s how there was a great God conscience and belief. We could promote the gospel of Christ here and around the world, well it was great time.

But today, many questioned God in the words and ways. As I have this past week.  And wow, I got a really hard core anti-god man, a student and follower of Jon Stewart. I have been talking to this guy through twitter and it's been like a Jedi fight from Star Wars.

Then lost man has been choosing me his educated false teachings and I have been fight back with the words of God, the bible.  He has call me a bible pounder and stupid teachings.  He said I have fairy tales and myths.  I say I have God and the all powerful and eternal word of God, Hallelujah !!

How long will it last, well, I am really not sure. He may eventually block me, but I intend to keep giving him the power word of God. As he will take a blow at me and I will return fire with God's words. So pray for me as I want to use wisdom, show God's love and have an answer to all his questions.

For he is full of questions that this world cannot answer not satisfy him.  He has anger. Only the love of God can cure him, please for him, for Bill, that the word of God will penetrate into his cold hard heart  and that the powerful Holy Spirit will convict him, AMEN!!

But, so were we, when we were lost and without God.  We rejected God's truth, words and ways.  But GOD, who is rich in mercy and love, saved us and we became a child of God. We were saved and born again, Hallelujah !! I'm saved and I know that I am, I so glad that I know that I am, and you can too, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved, for with the Heart man believes and with mouth confession is made, for the word is near to you. Why don't you call on Him today.

God Bless you,

Live, laugh, love

I saw these words on a sign at a restaurant the other day.  No doubt it has some type of philosophy of life or meaning for the country of the restaurant which I was in, but the sign could be seen by all.  Here are a some of thoughts,

or

or

But when I saw the sign, I asked God what it could mean for a christian or a message from Him. So my mind went back to the Holy Scriptures, GOD's word. And almost immediately came the answers. 

First, LIVE, Apostle Paul said," For me to live is Christ" He wanted to live and live longer, for Christ.  It was His reason to live and it should be our's too.  Live for God.

Secondly, LAUGH, well, David said," the joy of the Lord is our strength" and again the Apostle Paul said, "I joy and will rejoice" Hard to laugh without joy, so the joy of the Lord makes me laugh. (PTL!!)  It's a well and an eternal fountain flowing forever. A-men!! Laugh with God.

Thirdly, LOVE, God loves us with an everlasting love. God is the source of our love. For God demonstrated, showed forth His Love toward us.  Our love should be threefold. #1. God-ward, vertical looking up and this is where it all starts. Our love toward God as we love Him because He first loved us. #2. Man-ward, horizontally, outward our love should be toward men, For God so loved the world, speaking of mankind.  We may dislike the sin, but we should love the sinner. (Hallelujah !!)  #3. Self- ward, inward or within our heart. Accept the Love of God in our heart.

Yes Lord, there is a Godly connection with live, laugh and love, there is a christian view. And Lord, I thank you for it. Praise the Lord.

But dear friend, it all starts with God's love. For God so love the world, and before you can live and laugh, you must be born again, you must become a child of God. Must be saved. And you do this by calling on the Lord Jesus for salvation and the saving of your, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God bless you friend, Live for Him, laugh with Him and Love in Him.

How Long Lord??

Greetings blog followers,

As I sit at me desk at work at lunch time, I am thinking "How long will the social media interest last ??"

For me it has been very good. Sending the gospel locally and around the world has been what I have been about for many years.  And for the last 5 years I have been riding on the wave of social media, blogging, Facebook and Twitter, yet I still wonder, How long will it last??

The PCs, tablets and cell phones have put information at our finger tips. Our eyes can view a great amount and it is ALL very accessible. But for how long??

There doesn't to seem to a lack in devices, but rather more access through what we have already. So there's no reason to stop now, so let us continue the ride.  I will post on to my Preachers group on Facebook. I will Tweet and message from God with a hashtag to many on Twitter and I will continue to blog.  For the message of the Lord, The memories of the past for what church was about and for the mandate that's in my heart. 

I have a desire to be that salt and light to the world and for those who read this blog. Salt, as a preservative and adding flavor to life.  And light, revealing truth and rescuing those in darkness.  WOW, you have love it !!

I believe GOD uses all technical advances especially for the promotions of the gospel of this dear son. For Jesus is the way, the truth and the life !!

Dear friend, call on Him today, for whosoever shall call on the Lord shall be saved. For with the heart man believes and with mouth confession is made, marvel NOt !! you must be born again !! 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

With a thought a "How long" and s determination to keep on, keeping on !!

God Bless you,

Word of God speak

Greetings All,

To them (you) that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.

For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

May God bless you with these scriptures.

God laid these scriptures on my heart and in this order, to encourage the saints and servants of the Lord.  Truly, the word of God speaks and to us.

Words from the fisherman

The other day I needed to hear from the Lord.  So I thought I would hear the bible read from my cell for I have a bible App. I did not want to hear just any random scriptures, though, the word of is quick and powerful, and would have accomplished it's great work.  So I wanted and chose to hear from the fisherman, Apostle Peter, leader of the twelve disciples, disciple of Jesus.

It was amazing to me how after hearing all those familiar scriptures, I groaned an A-men and / or praise the Lord from hearing those good scriptures.  For I have preached and taught from those scriptures, also heard many fellow preachers expound on them too.

But I came to 1 Peter chapter 3 and verse 12 really jumped out at me and I smiled and praised the Lord. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers:

Well, after I heard the verse, I had to stop, backup and re-listen to it.  Wow, what a great truth and a great comfort to me.  And was not the fact that I did not know this truth, but it was a great blessing to hear it again. PTL!!

Our joy in the Lord will come from our bible knowledge but what a joy it was that day to hear the words from 1st Peter, Chapter 3, verse 12, the words from the fisherman.

But dear friend, I believe the call, conviction and confession.  As you hear the call of salvation from God through the Holy Spirit, then conviction with set in your life, which brings confession unto salvation, this is how to be saved, born again.  For with the heart man believes and with mouth confession with made unto salvation, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God bless you, only trust Him, only trust Him now,

Olympic volleyball

While watching the Olympics, particularly the men’s volleyball, my mind went back to my junior high days and P.E. class. After our exercises, the coach would let our two classes play volleyball on a full basketball court, we usually had 15 on each side and it was a lot of fun.  Well, we had to serve the volleyball from each end of the court, so you had to at least send the ball half court to get it over the net.

I had been a great server. I mastered the underhand serve. This is where you would hold the ball with you left hand and hit it with your right hand up in the air. It worked very well for me, as the team selected me to start the serve for our team playing full court volleyball.

Well, I immediately over analyzed the situation and thought, since I need to serve the ball so far, I thought I would change my serve to the over hand style. Where you hold the ball up and hit it with your fist, it was kind of new to me but I had not mastered it.  Well, needless to say I failed miserably and the volleyball barely made it to the net.

The team would rotate people to serve and my turn came fifteen serves later.  But I notice one my friends did very well and he used the under hand style of serving.  He used what he knew and did not change just hit the volleyball a little harder. So when it was my turn to serve I did the same and very well.  The team thought I was done, so bad and so over, but I came back with what I knew, and did it way that worked for me. And we won!!

I still remember that day, how my humble friend did what could, with what he had and with what worked for him and it show me what I needed to do.  I think it was a great life lesson.

But with the Lord, David said show me your ways, teach me and lead me.  It's all that we could ask for, but when we think or analyzed based on our own thoughts, many times we fail. BUT, if we trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding, if we acknowledge Him, HE shall direct our path.  And His way is the right way if we follow Him.

For His way is right for salvation, his way is right for serving Him and His way is right for our future.  So call on Him today, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you,

Rev. Dan

Put your hand into the hand of the man

The other day, the Good Lord brought this song back to my heart and mind.  I have to admit, it was not one of my favorite songs years ago.  It had a catchy tune and I remember singing it in elementary school, it was suppose to be one of those safe religious songs that you could sing in a secular public school.  Later I would see TV actors sing it when they wanted to be / show they were religious. Well, that was just my observation. :-(

Then the other day, in the stillness of my morning ride to work, in my Ford F-150  pickup truck, God started to speak to me again about this song.  First, we see an invitation .  Come to Jesus by putting your hand into His hand.  And this is what we did at salvation, we put our sinful life into the hand Jesus for salvation.  There something about a hand shake or a deal consummated by a hand shake.  Yet this song invites us to spiritually and literally put our hand into His hand, which  is, by the way,  very open for you.

But secondly, this song is an identifier,  as it says put your hand into the man that "stilled" the waters and calmed the sea.  Well, the application is there.  In the old testament in Psalms 23, "lead us by still water", we would learn later that sheep liked stilled waters, and what better place is there, than to drink by stilled waters for you thirst.

Then that hand, His Hand not only stilled the waters, but it calmed the sea, especially the raging sea and the stormy sea.  As He lifted His hand and said peace be still.  Oh truly, we have a wonderful Savior, we see His power, his peace and His passion for His people.

Then thirdly, we see a great insight, for when you take a look at yourself, after you accepted His hand, you will look on others differently.  Your insight and perspective to life will change.  A change that only The Good Lord can change. By taking the hand, accepting the man of Galilee.

SO PUT YOUR HAND INTO THE MAN FROM GALILEE !!

WOW, I had to repent and I see the message in the song. It's there and it's for me and for you. PRAISE - THE - LORD  !!

So today, will you take the hand of the man that stilled the water, will you take the hand of the man that calmed the sea.  This man, the man, The Lord Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, second part of the holy trinity.

OH, please, call on Him today !! For with the heart man believes and with mouth confession is made, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you,
Rev. Dan

The Olympics

The Olympics

The Olympics games have been around for many years.  The Apostle Paul observed this in his biblical writings.  Where he talked about the end goal, which was in that day a green olive branch which was worn the head of the victorious Athletic as they marched through the city. He obviously noted their training and toughness. Then He concluded for what?? All that training and all that toughness for a temporary crown??  When all that work and energy could be used for the Lord’s work. Which gives an eternal crown and eternal benefits.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.²⁵ Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. See 1Cor.9:24-25

A perishable wreath and that does not sound like very much.  Also, only one receives the prize.   Compare that with those working for the Lord, where all receives a prize (reward) and all receives an eternal prize (crown) for your work for the Lord. That is all that are saved, all that are children of God. We may be creations of God and we are not ALL children of God, we must be saved, we must be born again.

So let us count for Him, let us strive to live for the Lord and work for Him.

For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you,

Rev. Dan

Our path

Our Path that we walk

Last week I had to do a funeral for a close family member.  Having not done a funeral in a couple of years, I first thought to turned to the "Pastor's manual"  It's a book for pastors with helps and suggestions.  But I could never get satisfied nor have peace about anything that I found.  Since it was, what we call in the south, "a grave side service" the pastor's manual gave some suggested scriptures.  Well, it suggested Psalms 23, but I could still did not get peace about it , although it was close and God was tugging on heart trying to show me the way.  Finally after much prayer and seeking Him, God gave me the scriptures and it was one so familiar to me. Proverb 3:5-6

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he shall direct thy paths. 

And so the good Lord showed me the that I need to talk about our PATH. And I would like share this with you today.   Your Path certainly  tells a story of your life.  Past, present and future.  This might be a good time to consider where you come from, where you are and where you are going.  And did you know God wants to be apart of your path. Somewhere in your path of life, you will be brought a place of decision.  Many times it will be that place of salvation, where you will be given a chance to follow Him.  For the way of the cross leads home. (to heaven) God will show you an open door or bring you to that life decision place for you to have an opportunity to hear and receive the gospel of Jesus Christ.  The question is what will you do??

Well, I had many bible helps and many pastor helps.  Which, truthfully, was man's help. I just turned them all way  and started to listen to God and the sermon and words all came to me. ( I thank the Lord for it)

If we take the letters P-A-T-H, perhaps we could see what God is trying to says to us. First, the "P", the place of decision, many times your path will start there or is that place where He can talk to you.  Secondly, the letter "A" acknowledge.  This is something the world does less and less in these last days. Acknowledge His words, work and ways.  Your path will have that place and the needed acknowledgement from you. Thirdly, the letter "T" Trust, Trust in the Lord !!, it will be in your path, first at salvation and then in service for Him, also many situations where you will need Him.  The lastly the letter "H" Home as yout path will need to lead you home, to heaven.
Jesus said in John 14 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Where is your path leading you?? and does it tell a good story ?? That may be all you have for someone to speak about of you.  Why not trust Him and call on Him today and start that path with His words and His ways.

God Bless you,

Rev. Dan

Family Down time

Hello again everybody, I am going through some down time through the middle month of July,  My family and I went on vacation last week to Charleston, SC and Folly Beach.  We got to visit the WWII aircraft carrier "the Yorktown" and went to the city Market with some fine sea food dinning.  We had a great time and rested and relaxed.

Here are a some pictures.

Again, just a great time with family.  The good Lord took us there and brought us back safe. We always start our family trips with a word of prayer, asking God to lead us, guide us and protect us. Also we ask Him to bless our trip and our time together and He always does, PTL!! 

It's great to be a child of God.  We all may be creations of God, but we all may not be children of God.  You have to be saved, born again. Become a follower of God, accept Him as your Lord and Savior.  Ask, Believe and confess. 

God Bless you, pray for us.

A testimony verse

Psalm 57:9

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Wow, I found this verse and the Lord spoke to my heart and mind.  But it's a testimony verse for me.

A personal purpose seen - I will praise thee
How much do you praise the Lord ?? Well, it is personal and should be a personal with God.

It is a personal declaration, yet believers and the world need to see us as we praise the Lord. 

A practical proclamation shared - among the people

Do you proclaim praise so that others may see, what a testimony, for you and for the Lord.

A purpose proclaimed sung - among the nations
I will sing of the glories of the Lord forever, I will sing.  For He has put a song in my heart.

With a testimony, may God bless you, please call on Him today, then live for Him.

Rev. Dan

(we've got to turn America back to God!!)

Pray for America.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.

 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you, have a great day my friend!!

Rev. Dan

Psalm 57:9

I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
