A Message the Lord gave me this week I hope to preach on a Sunday Morning or a Wed. night.

A SURE FOUNDATION
II Timothy 2: 19-21
I want to say that without excuse I am saved and glad to know it. Aug, 17 1998 I got gloriously saved.
And I am sure of my Salvation.
And as our Scripture reading says it is a sure foundation. Turn to ! 1 Peter 2:6

1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
That word Confounded means that there is no shame in serving God, and that there i no disgrace in whom you believe in.
I can shout to the highest heaven that I love Jesus. There is no shame in telling others of your love for God. I am Honoured to be a child of God

To be a Christian is my goal in Life. It is not just a title but a goal.
To be a Christian is to be Christ like.
To walk like Him, To talk like Him.
I owe God to much for me to be lukewarm in my daily living here in this earth.

It is a sure thing this foundation scripture says; That word sure in our text means:

It is strong and stead fast it is both literally and figuratively,

Turn to Psalm 18, This Psalm is a thanksgiving psalm to God for delivering Him of his enemies, Listen to what it is said here in our Scofield Study Bible.

Ps 18:1
¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Ps 18:2
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

David here says figuratively you are my unmovable rock, ((There are rocks on this earth me and you cant lift and David likens God to this, an unmovable rock, A fortress that is impregnable A fortied fortress. No breaches to it defense against its enemies, the deliverer of sorrows,

Aren't you Glad one day there will be no more sorrow, pain, and death, One day in Heaven.

You got to remember that the God of David is our God today. Just as sure as David was in His God so should we.

Can you like David say," Lord thank you that you delivered me through my trials and endured temptation, and Lord I can gladly say,"I will love thee O Lord, My strength."

It is By His strength that I can stand today, Grace has abounded in my life.

And we are sealed by this truth: That He knoweth them that are His.

You that are saved, He knows you. I can rejoice in this for awhile. If this is all the Bible said I could be comforted with that truth. He knows me,

And the greatest demonstration of this love is found in Romans 5:8

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

While yet I was a sinner He died for me, John the drunkard, the liar, foulmouthed, the hater of all thing good, He still loved me enough to die for me.

While He was on the cross I was on his Mind, I was unworthy was I, but yet the Love of the Father saw through that and said there is hope. If you don't know Jesus as savior you can know this, He loves you even though you are a sinner and undone he died for you.

And now that I am saved, he knows me.

John 10:3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

[[....Elaborate on the Shepherds dutys....]]

And as we continual in our scripture we see that at salvation through repentance we flee iniquity,

But you see even as Christians God is careful to help the child of God in his walk with Him.

David knew that he to could fall into sin again, You might say what do you mean, well remember Bathsheba, and the sin there, not only did he not be were he should be, but took her knowing she was married (II Samuel 11:3), then found out he impregnated her, tried to hide it by bringing back Uriah to be with her and when that didn't work had him set up to be killed.

David knew he could sin again. Listen to what he said," Psalms 19:13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Don't think that you are spiritual enough not to fall, If the one who was said, he seeked after Gods own heart, prayed this way, what makes you better.

God so beautifully puts it in this way in our text,

2 Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

I like what the old puritan writer John Gill once said about this verse,

and some to honour; who are designed for honourable service, and behave honourably, and are worthy of honour in the church; are honourable officers, or members in it; and are to the honour of Christ, and the Gospel; and shall at last enjoy honour, glory, immortality, and eternal life.
And some to dishonour; who are to the disreputation of the church, the dishonour of religion, and scandal of the Gospel; by them God is dishonoured, his ways evil spoken of, his doctrines blasphemed, and his name reproached; and who are themselves dishonourable among men now, and will be covered with shame and everlasting contempt hereafter.

In contrast, there are some things in our lives that will bring Glory to God, and there are things we hold on to that will not please our Lord.

You may hide your sin to your wife, husband, family, friends and church but to God all things are seen.

Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

What is that you are holding on too that holds you in Bondage?

What Numbers 32:23 ought to grip you as you study the word of God.

Ye have sinned against the Lord,

This is what you do continually, when you and I sin, We do it against the Lord, I f you are saved,

For the Christian there is a sin unto death.

Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

There is no escape when it comes to the hand of God!

But there is hope through true repentance, God said in I John 1:9 that through Confession we have forgiveness,

Sometimes we don't get to this until after we are chastened by the Lord,

Chastisement is meant for the child of God to get back in His will, Though some go further into sin due to disobedience it is for correction.

Just as a parent chastens a child for reproof.

God Loves us enough that He will do anything it takes for us to get right.

Listen to what God says about the situation.

Hebrews 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

And though some don't flee from sin God will deal with them. Even to the effect of the Sin Unto Death. Some will say, Is there really a sin that Christians commit that carries a death penalty?

1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

Lets turn to Amos 4:6-12 and we will see how ungrateful a Christian can get.

What is the beging of this sin? I believe it is found in this one thought the Lord gave me.

You get your eyes off of God. In other words, you start loving the blessings more than the one blessing you.

And once your eyes are off of God you start looking to other things of this world.

Sin will take you further than you want to go.

Backsliding is an awful thing for the child of God.

((( Elaborate on the young boy who backslid on God and though they pleaded with him he crossed Gods deadline and died )))

In closing on this point i will Quote 1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

You see we have to forsake sin. Isaiah 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

You as a child of God are to Shun Evil.

Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Psalms 34:14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

1 Peter 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.

To Ensue is to literally pursue or follow this daily in your life as a Christian.

And to what is the result? To get to that answer we turn to we look at the last verse in our text.

To purge is to cleanse, Those few short words; He Shall Be, Means that it will be or should come to pass, The result is a Vessel, literally meaning to be contributing or to be useful,

Can you imagine the thought, being useful in the will of God. Useful in His ministry, useful in the church, useful in soul winning, useful in the workplace, useful to leading your family to the Lord, Field almost hard to reach.

To be used of God. That word Meet in this verse is to say in the Greek, Easily Used, or profitable

Can you say you are a prepared vessel this morning?

If a man therefore purge himself from these - He that takes heed to his ways and to his doctrines, and walks with God, will separate himself, not only from all false doctrine, but from all wicked men, and thus be sanctified and proper to be employed by the Master in every good word and work.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary2Ti 2:21 Put it like this
21. If a man . . . purge himself from these--The Greek expresses "If one (for example, thou, Timothy) purify himself (so as to separate) from among these" (vessels unto dishonor). sanctified--set apart as wholly consecrated to the Lord. and meet--Some oldest manuscripts omit "and." the master's--the Lord's. Paul himself was such a vessel: once one among those of earth, but afterwards he became by grace one of gold. prepared unto every good work-- (2Ti 3:17; Tit 3:1)

Are you willing today to #one Praise God for your salvation, having confidence in God And sure of Gods Promise.

Depart from iniquity, in other words forsaking those weights that easily besets us, or to ware down. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

purging your self from those things that dishonour God.

Coming to this old fashioned alter and seeking the Lords face in your life.

IS it worth it. Look at your children and answer that question, look at your grandchildren and answer that.

Is ever body you are accountable given the opportunity to accept the Lord or reject Him. Are you living so that others see Jesus in you.

Are you saved this morning, Do you know Jesus or do you Know of a Jesus.

WILL SOON BE IN GRAMERCY LA.

For awhile now a church had been after me to send my resume, but due to 2 hurricanes a trip to Texas for a view and some mail trouble and a Revival they finally got it. I have been praying about this church off and on and kept contact with them. I spoke to them on the phone Thursday and they asked if I would go down and preach at their church. They had told me that the pulpit committee saw my DVD of a message I preached against Halloween and discussed how they would like me to go down. The Church is called First Baptist Church of Gramercy La. A small community next to the Mississippi River. It is about 2 and half hours away and about 20 to 30 minutes from Baton Rouge. We will be leaving this weekend to be there on the 2nd. I am praying Gods will on this and excited to meet more Christian on this side before we get to Glory. I often wonder how God has moved us here to Louisiana, but what I do know is though I have been to alot of churchs and met countless of Christian, I would have never met them had I never left the Valley. There are more to meet this side of Glory, so I am willing to go or move, I know I alot of preachers who when God called had to sale their home and move were comfort is to were God says I will comfort you. I didn't have my own home when I left but knowing me that probably would have been my excuse why not to leave. I often think of Abraham when God told him to leave Haran, your home and family and all you posses, Now Haran means; Comfort in Jewish tradition. So to God I say any where any time Lord. I had to learn not to let even family control where to go, I remember when I told my wife we weren't moving to Texas after all, it broke her heart, but she knows to trust me for my Faith is in God

So many Chevys

I can now with a full confidence in my statement, that A Chevrolet is least likely to break down than a Ford and a Dodge. Fords and Dodges break down more frequently dew to fast production as what we at the Chevy place guess. But no matter the cause it is true. It is not a theory or left up to debate, We even have our own Chevy seasoning for food, Talk About, As my Cajun friends say. I am learning a whole lot more working here. And I am sure to learn alot more as I continue to work here. I would have never thought to be working at a dealership, and at that a part salesman. I don't even know how to work on cars much. I own tools like if I can though, But I let my friends bower them. Even when Juan comes up to visit he cant wait to get a hold of my tools. Oh and as for my Brother Juan, I can still hook you up with parts for your truck, Good discount and all Chevy parts. Today I ordered a small covering that hides all the wiring on the rear view mirror, You might think so! But you see it is amazing to me how so many little parts go into those new mirrors that once used to be for simply looking behind you for other vehicles or backing up. Now they have Onstar, heating temps, warnings and a bunch of other stuff. Its not like getting some glue and putting back up any more.
Anyways I want to say I love my new job.

This Morning

I start my new Job this Morning and I am both excited and nervous, but I know My redeemer lives so I will Make it with Gods Help. I got a thrill Of that, just knowing who I am, Knowing I am saved, I like what the preacher says," My momma told me about my first birth, but my second birth I told my momma." I thank God I am saved to the uttermost, And like Bro. Hutson sang, I am on the winning side.
Please pray for me today, and maybe the rest of the week, not just for my new job but just for prayer in general, and I vow to pray for you as you ask.
There is a song I love to hear that says that Somebody prayed for me today.
Lord help me,

How Can A Man Walk With God

Saturday night just before going to bed I had no peace about what I was going to teach for Sunday School And as I lay there I told my wife that I have to go study, Didn't know where or what to study but as I sat in my office it came clear to me, How Can A Man Walk With God, I started going through my books seeking for help, and I found what I know God was dealing with me that night. You see I struggle with my walk with Christ and I needed help. After reading some Literature of G. Campbell Morgan I got it fully. I started searching scripture and the Lord Gave me this Message to teach for Sunday School. I pray it will help you as it help me and those that attend Sunday School faithful.

HOW CAN A MAN WALK WITH GOD
Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Now as a Christian this is the way to walk: Walking with God, Having the Communion with him.
1. Think about the Garden of Eden for a moment: what does Scripture say about this closeness with Him,
a. Genesis 3:8-10 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Now up until now it was a normal thing for God and Adam to be walking together, in sinless communion. They didn’t hide because they didn’t know who was that calling,
b. You think about us today, If some one calls and we don’t recognize =, we get a little defensive.
c. But you see there was something that caused a break in this walk with God, SIN!!!
2. Now there is a divine requirement revealed in Micah; Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Now #1, Do justly, Can you do that amongst the brethren, Well of course right, What about amongst the Lost, At your work, your Home, Around your family and friends, Those that are not in the church atmosphere.
Or what about to love mercy? To show kindness, to render forgiveness. Remember in Scripture where the one owed a great debt and was forgiving, What then did he in turn do to the one that owed him little.?
And to walk Humbly With thy God. Now as a Christian, Whose God? Our God.
Real Quickly, you can Not have an effect without a cause, In other words if you see 2 walking together, there is a reason why they are walking peaceably.
A. well they are agreed. There is common ground, Think about what scripture says concerning friendship;
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Now in Scripture we see some examples of friendship. Think of the love that David had for Jonathon. And in death listen to how beautiful David says of his companion.
2 Samuel 1:23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
2 Samuel 1:26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
Now here it is again: God and Man must agree if they are to walk together.
Remember what Job said in his most great distress: Oh that I knew where I might find Him.
Now here is the thing. We all want this. And there is a requirement. Its it possible? Of course, Why would God want that of us if there where no way.
Genesis 5:22-24 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Can you imagine the conversation.

Genesis 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Noah for over 100 years preached but yet found no repentance in the people.
Some will say it is hard to live right and to do justly and show mercy, This world is wicked. But you see that should not be an excuse, it should not hinder or let it hinder your walk with God. Look at what God said about Noah; Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
What is God seeing in you this Morning or what did God see in you.
Now I know what God saw in me, and you better believe God is seeing you as well.
Nothing is hid, nothing is done in secret,
In this wicked generation what is God seeing in you.
For Noah it was found Righteous, Noah it was said,” He walked with God”.
How can a man Walk with God? Will you say I don’t know. Or will you say today show me. Well let me repeat the requirement;
Micah 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
You are going to have to make a commitment, To take a stand.
2 Kings 23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
You are going to have to make a vow with God. I know you are thinking, But God said: Ecclesiastes 5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
That is not there for you not to make a promise, But for you to see the importance of keeping that promise.
In other words keep your word, You get mad when someone renigs on a word, well hey shouldn’t God hold you accountable also.
It is possible for us to walk with God. Think of that poem my wife loves so much; Foot prints in the Sand.
Footprints
One night I had a dream--I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before me,I looked back at the footprints in the sand.I noticed that many times along the path of my life,there was only one set of footprints.I also noticed that it happened at the very lowestand saddest times in my life. This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,you would walk with me all the way,but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my lifethere is only one set of footprints. "I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,you should leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,I love you and I would never, never leave youduring your times of trial and suffering. "When you saw only one set of footprints,it was then that I carried you."
Know let me ask you, in this poem that Mary Stevenson wrote is there scripture to it.? Off course.
Some will say what about others that claim they walk with God. Well Scripture deals with that also.
Micah 4:5 For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
What does the indwelling Spirit do in us, amongst other things, Confirms our beliefs. It bears record of our Lord.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Now let me remind you;
2 Kings 23:3 And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
Now this commitment is not half hearted it is to be done fully and completely. Scripture says,” With all their hearts and all their soul.”
I mean what does it really mean, So that you may win some.
We have to be building in our life with a Christ; Jude 1:20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Building upon your Faith with God, Because just like Love or the wrong love it can waver. Some will claim to have this walk but when trials come we falter,

The Christian life is a bed of roses, BUT YOU HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE THORNS!!!!!

Now concerning the doctrine of faith, that on which their faith itself is founded; and then the meaning is, that they should not rest satisfied in what measure of faith they had already attained, but still be improving it, and making further progress in it, not only hold fast the truth of the gospel, the right foundation on which they had begun to be built, but get themselves, by the due study and meditation of the word, more and more confirmed in the belief of it.
Now in closing will you perform? the words of this covenant that were written in this book.
Our King James Bible..
Will we like in 2 Kings Stand by this covenant?------
I like what it says in this verse: Revelation 3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

The Man of God

Those that know Bro. Rick Alegria, know that he is in Bible College at Faith Baptist Institute In Resaca Georgia, A college of Concord Missionary Baptist Church, Were Bro. Sammy Allen is Pastor.
What Bro. Rick is doing I believe to be a great thing that brings Honor to God and to the continuing of Bro. Sammys Testimonial Preaching. To hear Brother Sammy preach is the highlight of my life, and to read a part of Bro. Sammys past and how good God has blessed him is awesome. Here is a taste of what Bro. Rick has Typed out from Bro, Sammys messages

Dr. Percy Ray would have them, maybe once or twice, during that Power Conference, he’d have three preachers preach three minutes. I said, “I wouldn’t preach one of them three minute messages” The Holy Spirit said “You’ll preach one of them or you won’t enjoy anymore of this meeting!” I preached three minutes; got off the podium preaching, preached three minutes. A preacher in Florida heard it, had me to come to Knoxville, Victory Baptist Church, and I preached Sunday morning and Sunday night. Then, I went back. I preached at I don’t know how many different churches one or two nights a week. Then we had more meetings, you know, the crusades for Christ and… I probably preached a hundred weeks meetings. A three minute message about opened up that whole country. Unbelievable. A three minute message…

Lets Get A Physical

Well today for my new job I had to get a physical, and considering I am way over weight my blood pressure is were it should be. But as for my sugar it is high. They found what could be diabetes in my urine and after they did a hymo-something they saw that my sugar level is high, It was 131, today. under 121 Ishould be they said, but the thing for me to do is to lay off sugar and other sugar related food, not just candy. Oh and lose weight off course, It was an eye opening experience for me. And had I not have taken this new Job and required to take a physical, I probably would have found out to late the Doc. said, So to you God I say thank you very much, and to my wife for calling Oustelet. Please pray that I take this very serious, I know my wife will be supportive in helping me. She has always supported me in every thing I did whether career or the ministry. Being a preachers wife is not a called thing but it is a supportive role in my life. We may have our spiff and arguments but ultimately I know she loves me and I love her. We have been through alot in Louisiana, and we have been through it together. And we owe it all To Jesus, for it is God that has brought us through the valleys and let us take part of the mountain as well.

I got it

I will no longer work for O-o-O'reilly Auto parts, I will now work for Bubba Oustalet in the Parts Department. I am excited for a new opportunity to try a new job. Though I was fed up with management at Oreillys I still wanted to work for a parts store, not knowing that working at a dealership was the place I would be at. I will still sale parts but make more commission at Bubba, I know alot of the mechanics so that helps going to a new place. I want to thank the Lord first and my wife second for just calling after only just seeing a part truck for the dealership. My new boss is a jokester because he first calls me yesterday and tells me,"Sorry to inform you that it didn't work out." I was feeling terrible and then he said, "Just Joking, I like to fool around." I told him let me get hired first then joke with me. But I am so glad to have this opportunity. Maybe I will get a deal on a used truck, Oh man!
Oh and no Juan, it is the same company, but the one in town is the Ford dept. Were I will be, will be the Chevy about 10 blocks away down the same road.

Bubba Oustalet Dealership

Well I went today for my second interview for a parts man for this dealership, And well I am pretty much hired, I have one more interview today with The Cole Group, that does all their preliminary interviews, after that they call me to set up a physical, and hopefully I start work after next week. I love working for Oreilly's but I am fed up with the managers lack of managing. I am not used to working with people that are used to making excuses.
I am glad to be still working with the parts department though, only because that is a field that I have learned about so much.
What is so awesome is that yesterday when Melinda was going to work she spotted a Oustalet truck and got their number and called them and asked if they are hiring and they said yes and it was like thank you Lord. I went yesterday after work for an interview with Mr Russell, and all went well. I found out today the owners are very proud of there business but are humbled enough to put God first in their doings with the business. The owner explained to me that no matter what God is first, And being honest is not just a slogan.
I pray that all continues to go forward, so please pray for Lords Will.

The worst

The worst enemy of the church of Christ is not heathenism, Communism, Mohammedanism, or Romanism, but worldliness within the Church where unsaved and carnal, and often quarreling members are in control.

But I say, Preacher keep on preaching, soul winner keep on going, faithful members keep coming and stay away from these, and when they leave lets vote to give the Pastor a raise.

The Cannot and the Thought,

Things you cannot do:
1: You cannot live wrong and die right.
2: You cannot do the devils work and draw Gods pay.
3: You cannot sow to the flesh and reap spiritual things.
4: You cannot fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness and expect to maintain fellowship with God.
5: You cannot be a friend to the world and be a friend to God at the same time.
6: You cannot think wrong and live right.

Has it Occurred To You?
Has it occurred to you...that God could have kept Daniel from the lions den? That he could have kept Paul and Silas out of jail? That he could have kept the three Hebrew children out of the fiery furnace? Actually, though, God has never promised to keep us out of hard places . What He has promised is to go with us through every hard place and to bring us through victoriously!

You cannot have truth without Christ, for Christ is truth...

God Saves Old Sinners

The drunk on the street-, the rich in the palaces
The poor and unlearned-- and men of degree
They all have a soul-- in need of salvation
And they all have to come-- by Calvary

Chorus
I am so glad-- God saves old sinners
I’m thrilled and amazed-- how He sets them free
But the biggest surprise-- in redeeming old sinners
Is that He would save- an old sinner like me

Was I so wrong-- that I needed forgiveness
And Was I so bad-- I had to be redeemed
Well, I wasn’t a thief-- but I lived in sin’s prison
And I was lost-- as a sinner could be

One day me and Nicole will sing this song in church, But I want to say is that I do want to thank God for saving an old sinner like me.
We sang together in church already and I try not to over power her because she sounds beautiful and me like a old rust bucket, but hey for the honor and Glory Of God I will sing it out.

love this song, When we went to Kansas my family sang it up there over and over believing that my father in law would get saved, that night we got there he did get saved, I thought of this song when I lead my little Brother to the Lord, You all know him as Sal but to me he will always be Jay, my little shadow. I love you Brother, please don't be upset with me, But I do love you and am thrill that God set you free.

I could listen to this over and over.

Bro. Hutson is in heaven today but today he is alive still in Glory, whether through the internet or my new found cassettes of his preaching. I love to hear him preach, Just stay awhile and listen. Please click on the link and listen, please I beg you in Jesus name. I beleive it will bless you.

He is Still in Control

God has been still blessing and blessing, and I am grateful for that. I am careful to thank the Lord always for His provisions. This week even though my laptop has been falling apart God let me get some of my files. The hard drive is collapsing and it is killing my computer. The Lord gave me that through a preacher back in 2005 five and I have hundreds of outlines saved in it. I also have personal info like my resume and other stuff. Just yesterday a church called me to send my resume for a view to a call, and my first thought was I have to type out my resume again because it is in the laptop, but I couldn't get it because I turn it on then a blue screen and off it goes, so I was stuck with errors and stuff, The church wants me up there in 3 weeks but wants a resume and a DVD of my preaching. I sat at my table with my laptop and asked the Lord If He could please let me have just a few minutes with my laptop. Well guess what my wife got it up and I had enough time to down load my files and print my resume. THANK YOU
LORD!!!!!!! Well I sent it out and pray for Lords Will. I also want to thank the Lord for my new laptop but hope to restore my old one.
Today also Bro. Steve and Sis. Sharon blessed me with a book case for some of my books, Bro. Steve also measured my office to see about building me a specialized shelf that I have printed in my head. I have all these ideas in my head and Bro. Steve said he can do it. So I just cant help but to thank the Lord. I have all these books that belonged to the great man of God Bro. Kenneth Wall, and they are all over my floor.
I have to admit I have been concerned lately but God has assured me that everything is all right.
