First a
little ''Shout-Out'' to Our Doc's!,..If You ''Doc's'' would like the
latest
Military
''Covers''..caps,..Please let me know!..''No-Charge''..We 'Owe You!'
And
''Don't Forget'' Check out The Latest Novel..''Names Not On The
Wall''
by Our Own
''Doc ''Bear'' Hutchinson.''No'' He don't look like a 'Bear!''
And ''Goooooood
Morning'' again!..
Now,..with out to much delay,..go grab that ''Hot'' cup o' joe,
hot
cholocate, or your 'favorite' morning ''pik-me-up' and find a
chair!...
Again,.
many ''Requests''for some answers,..last week we got into the O'l
Day's of
our life... ''Past -Present-Future''...
Now some
folk's ask,..''O.K.Preacher'' all that sounded real good,..''But
How''
do we
maintain this 'road' beside's Praying?..Ahhh' a good question!
John-4:14..''The
water I give them,..becomes a perpetual spring within them,
watering
them forever with eternal life''
And..John-4:10..
''If you only knew what a ''wonderful gift'' God has for you,
and who I
am, you would ask Me for some living water!''..
Now,..an
''Explanation'' that even I can ''understand!''...
Now,..we
know that 'our physical bodies' wear out,..break down and just plain
ol'
Quit!..But,.. until that time, we need to give them ''Nourishment..food,.
and
Rest!''..Right?
We have
'diet's' and ''feeding cycles'' that were supposed to follow .. per
say!
Breakfast..Lunch..
Dinner etc.
We 'Eat..Drink..Rest..Reproduce'',.get
the ''Idea?''..Life Cycle..
Me..''Jelly
do-nuts'' was my favorite ''Nourishment'' pik-me-up,..till the
Doctor
told me it
was ''Killing Me!''...Anyway ''Sherrie'' my Wife has me on one of
those
''Organic'' diets,..you know the type,..''cardboard tasting stuff''
full of
'fiber' n'
other things to ''keep you fit!''..''uuuhhh''..   ..
Seriously
though,.. we have to keep the ''System'' fit to ''Run'' stay
'Healthy''
O.K.''Preacher''
than what about all this ''Spiritual Nourishment!''..What is that
'Spiritual
Water' all about?..
Fact is
,..''No Water,..No Life!''..We simply just ''Wither'' n' Die!..
Jesus
explained the importance of ''Spiritual Rebirth''..saying that
people do-not
enter the
kingdom by a ''better life'' but by being spiritually reborn..
You
Remenber the Story of the ''Woman'' by
the
Well,..Jesus told her she had many men
and none
her husband!...He also told her that
the
''Water'' she was seeking was the 'Water
of
Life' and that the water she was living on
would not
sustain her and that she would
always
thirst. And that the Water He offered
she would
Never Thirst again?...God's Word!
The
''Water of Life'' is the cleansing action of God's Holy Spirit upon
accepting
Christ as
'Our Savior' being the Son of God, and thru the ''Holy
Spirit''..which is
the Spirit
of God in us,..since He isn't physically here..thru His Word..
As you
water plant's to nourish them,..so shall you also ''emerge''
yourself in
His
Word..The Water..,''The Living Word'' of Life!.
John-5:24..''I
tell you the truth, whoever hears My Word and Believes Him who
sent Me
has eternal life and will not be condemned, he has crossed over from
'Death to
Life''..
Yea,..I
know,..''quite a mouthful!'',..But all in all,. We ''Eat'' to
Survive in this
world,..but
to ''Live'' after this life,.we need our ''Spiritual'' side to
survive..and
that
starts at our ''Re-Birth'' like it says in the Bible..Accept God and
His Word,
and you
have Accepted Life after Death!..
Me?...Do
I 'Buy That?'...no!..WHAT!..What I mean,.. I don't buy
that,.As it was
''Already
Paid For'' thru Christ!...It is ''So Simple'' but so hard for Many
to
Accept the
Fact that to ''Live Forever'' all you have to do is ''Believe'' in
God's
Word..His
Promise!
Yea,..I
know Ol' Ratchet Jaw!,..Listen,,, Want to discuss some things or
have
''ideas'' on a sermon..let me know!...
One Topic
I was asked to do is on ''Gay'' folks,..I'm still ''Contemplating''
on
that..such an ''Explosive issue'' and the ''Bible'' is pretty
'Explicit' on
what God
say's on that!..
I leave
you with this ''Parable''...
''Only
when we are changed, can we be agents of change''
''Listen
to God's Heart, then speak from your heart to others''
''To keep
your life in balance, lean on the Lord''
By Golly
till next week,.Sherrie and I Do ''Hold'' All of You in Prayer!
Don't
doubt God,.doubt your ''misunderstanding'' of Him,.He Will Come
to
you,.''Knock and the Door will Open!..
God
Be with You!..Pastor / Chaplain Frank n' Sherrie
