CONTENTMENT ? – – – RIGHT NOW ?

February 19, 2015 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

This morning after breakfast, I was sitting in the recliner, drinking my coffee, watching the sun rise, listening to Christian music, trying to let the words soak in and lift out my worries.

I found myself dreaming of building my log cabin, with a sunroom outside the bedroom—a place to relax and enjoy the beginning of the day, warmed by the sun.

I realized once again that most of my thoughts of contentment revolve around someday when I get such-and-such done. And many of those projects are so slow in coming that they rob me of peace for today and contentment right now.

Then I thought of a Bible passage, and I will close with this. I want it to sink in and let God work in me.

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls;

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me to walk upon my high places.”

YOU DON’T SAY ?—WHY NOT ?

(See post on 12-15-12 and three on 1-14-15)

BHOB*, you don’t say “Islamic Terrorists.”

Why can’t you say it?

We know why.

And it’s going to kill us.

Conservative commentators, you don’t say “BHOB* in an Islamic Terrorist.”

Why can’t you say it?

We know why.

And it’s going to kill us.

Time is running out for us to clearly identify the enemy by name, so we can defeat him, and them.

GETTING USED TO IT

February 17, 2015 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

BHOB* is gradually, and now rapidly, softening us to our enemies and conditioning us to his dictatorship.

“Fifty Shades of Gray” is suddenly plunging us into accepting the degrading abuse of women under Islam.

AND—Gray is the devil’s favorite color.

WHAT’S THE CATCH – – – THE FINE PRINT

January 11, 2015 By Larry Michalk Leave a Comment

So Christianity is supposed to be so great.

What’s the catch?

What’s the fine print?

What did they not tell me?

“The catch” is not in fine print.

It is the part they don’t tell you because it may not be popular.

Christianity is a gift, but being a Christian is not easy.

Christianity is free, but it costs the Christian everything.

Christianity is available for everyone, but the Christian will not be popular.

Christianity provides the way to heaven, but the Christian finds it is very narrow.

Christianity shows the love of Jesus, but the Christian learns to embrace everything Jesus said:

“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by Me.”

“The gate is difficult, and the road is narrow, that leads to life; and there are few that find it.”

“It is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.”

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth.”

“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

“You will be hated of all people for my name’s sake.”

“He who kills you will think he is doing God service.”

“If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

“He who endures to the end will be saved.”

“Be faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life.”

And the final, fine, bold print, to sing and shout:

“It will be worth it all, when we see Jesus.”

DON’T WAIT . . .

Don’t wait until you feel better, to do what makes you feel better.

Don’t wait to experience a close encounter with God, to experience getting close to God.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat and drink with him, and he with me.”
