Jesus Is My Joy Ministries/Devotions

This is such a seemingly simple thing, but it could have a tremendous impact on our country. ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced; and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren’t voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees. Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name; then stand back and watch His wonders unfold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do that. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime. 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their…

Share Your World With Cee Cee Pt. 21

Cee has asked some really good questions this week! So here I am sharing my world!

1. What is most memorable about your high school years?
   I think the most memorable thing about high school was youth group. I am so thankful to the couple that were my youth pastors. They gave us such a great foundation and blended that with a lot of fun. We were never at a loss for things to do: Youth conventions and fall camps, Bible quiz and Teen Talent, Softball Tournaments and Speed-the-light rallies. I can honestly say I was never bored.
2. What was the last URL that you bookmarked? I don’t book mark things but I do add new blogs just about every week. Some of the newest blogs I am reading are http://steveatwood.wordpress.com/ and http://ayaslife.wordpress.com/
3. Name one thing not many people know about you.
   Man! in this venue there is so much to choose from… how about this? I play three instruments: flute, piano and didgeridoo (badly on that last one but I still play it)
4. What physical attribute do you like about yourself?  Can be anywhere from beauty to heart to physical strength. Ahh! glad this didn’t have to be about physical appearance. I love me for my mind! 🙂

Thanks Cee! Can’t wait to read everyone else’s responses.

 

Pastor Wrinkles: Hey Jude Pt. 6

“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.” Jude 1:3,4 KJV

In our last posts we spoke about why it is necessary to contend for the faith. If you remember I mentioned that one of the reasons we must contend is because God has delivered the faith into our hands. Because of this our faith will never go beyond the level at which we fight for it. If you missed these discussions you can find them here:

Now all the lofty thoughts from my last post aside, Jude verse 4 tells us that the reason that we should contend for the faith is not just because it’s our responsibility but because there is something to defend the faith against.  “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.”  

Now I have to ask, “How do ungodly men creep into the church without other people being aware of it?”

How is it that 2000 years after the Lord created the church we are still struggling against people who are turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” 

I have my answers but before I give them I would love to hear yours! 🙂
