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,
