Trapped by bars of the past or freed to live in the present

There was a guy in world history named Paul. He was a brilliant man. Might even have had a photographic memory. Paul was also a craftsman and came from good genetic stock. Likely his parents were positioned well in government. Paul had it all, yet Paul was in prison for what he believed and actions dictated by his beliefs.

“Build faith into expectations”~priest

You all know Paul. He wrote a bunch of stuff about successful living a Christian life in the midst of hell on earth. He was tortured in body, soul and spirit more times than he could remember. Yet, he passionately loved Jesus and lived a life worthy of his calling. Here is a great principle for you and I to adopt in our life. Paul says it like this…
"Also, prepare a guest room for me, for I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you."~Paul

Sometimes being outside the box is a good thing

I am blogging in Chick-fil-A listening to Christian music. How incredibly unique is that? The place closes on Sunday, also. While the world blows off God and demands ownership of Sunday, Chick-fil-A gives it back to God. The corporation is incredibly profitable and there is a waiting line to manager a franchise.

Paul was not a wimp and suffered that his friends might live…
January 6, 2010
Paul is my hero. He ran a good fight. He was not afraid of suffering for Christ. He was not ashamed for the life he uniquely lived. He encouraged others to life a similar life. This page is from a personal letter to his friend Timothy and is powerful. Enjoy!
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power of God, who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News. For this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
Paul words are powerful. Consider living your life according to God's purpose and grace. God bless. archie

I was sitting in McDonald's yesterday. There was an older hispanic gentleman sitting at a table next to mine. He sleeping. I was blogging on my computer and thinking about the old guy across from me. I had a "throw down" Bible. I figured I might have an opportunity to give it to him when he woke up.

Does God hear the slot machine prayer?
January 5, 2010
There are times when I pray and immediately I can see God at work fulfilling my wishes. But there are other times when I pray and I see and get nothing. What is up with that? What happens when you pray to the god of slot machines and don't see God do anything?

God Spot: I wondered. I had Awe.” ~Jack
January 5, 2010
We live in a physical world. We see that. We feel that. We know that.
We live in a spiritual world. We see that. We feel that. We know it because we experience it. So. Permit me to limit to these three at this time…. In our fallen world, we see sin abound. We see sickness and we see pain and we see massive injustice. We see far more than this, but we also understand it is tied very inextricably to the spiritual world. In our spiritual world, we see forces of evil and forces of God in combat. We see the struggle for good to overcome evil. We see a constant battle to deny the power of God in everyday life. We see times of wonderful communion and times of absolute beauty and worship. With the spiritual world, we do battle and participate in the process of trying to live in the Age to Come as we live physically in This Present Evil Age.

“Revelation presumes action seems certain,” ~priest
January 4, 2010
As we begin the new year, hear God's Word.
Keep your eyes focused on Jesus.
Believe He will walk with you through the storm.
In Jesus name, bind satan. I pray God's protection on you and your family.
There is wonderful fruit just waiting to be picked.
