SLOW down, take it EASY, read THE WORD with intent, and diligence; give it time to meld into the being; it IS imperative TO allow it to seep into the heart, the spirit, the being!!!

Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor

Psalms 138 (A Psalm of David)
1/ I will praise thee with my whole heart: before the gods will I sing praise unto thee.
2/ I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving-kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
3/ In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
4/ All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth.
5/ Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
6/ Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.
7/ Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me.
8/ The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me:
thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands... AMEN!!!
One CANNOT earn GRACE, it is HIS own ESSENCE; a gift, still, IF one claims to be IN HIS GRACE, we ARE to, or, OUGHT to, be reflections of that GRACE! 2 CORINTHIANS 6:1, tells us not to take HIS GRACE in vain! This means, living in LOVE, morality, ethics, virtue, righteousness, and, spiritual improvement, TOWARDS, spiritual maturity, WHILE, visibly BEING as LIGHTS, beaming OF *GOD*, beckoning the world, TO THE LIGHT! Righteousness MEANS, conduct in conformity with *GOD'S* WILL, and, "Be HOLY because I AM HOLY!", therefore, indicating that knowledge, wisdom, and, effort, DO, apply TO the righteous!!! NEVER forget, we were grafted in, and, if we do not bear fruit, as a dead branch, we will be pruned out, just as were, the natural branches!!!

We are not saved by works, instead, works PROVE HIM in us: they identify HIS own...
IF I claim ONENESS with *GOD*, through CHRIST JESUS, I am DEAD TO THE WORLD, THUS, LIVING as HIM, which is, hopefully, witnessed IN, and, THROUGH, my every thought, action, and, reaction; MEANING, I am, THROUGH CONSCIOUS application OF THE WORD, HIS COMMANDS, HIS WILL, REFLECTING righteousness, not, merely, FAITH! I become, the TRULY FRUITFUL branch, of THE VINE, the TRUE member of THE BODY/THE CHURCH, CHRIST JESUS, and, TESTIFY, then, GLORIFY, BOLDLY, BY my thoughts, actions, and, reactions, HIS name, because, HE IS WORTHY, and, IN HIS LOVE, has SHOWN me, how I OUGHT to exist, to which, I eagerly, adapt, and, comply!!!

MATTHEW 5:48...

So be perfect,
just as your heavenly Father is perfect

1 PETER 1:14-16...
14/ Like obedient children, do not act in compliance with the desires of your former ignorance
15/ but, as he who called you is holy, be holy yourselves in every aspect of your conduct,
16/ for it is written, "Be holy because I (am) holy."


ROMANS 12:2...
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect.
Conduct, in conformity to *GOD'S* WILL, marks the righteous; it is NOT because of guilt, or, ancient Laws, but, because of LOVE; LOVE for *GOD*, self, then, others! CHRIST JESUS gave us Commandments to live by, of which, the first is to LOVE *GOD*, with all of your mind, heart, and, soul; the second is, to LOVE one another!

LOVE COMPELS us to LIVE IN HIM, through conduct which conforms to *GOD*; in other words, morality, ethics, doing good, and, being good, and, ever striving to improve the spirit! It is about REFLECTING THE TRUTH, for ALL to bear witness to, FOR, and, TO HIS GLORY, RADIANTLY SHINING OF HIS POWER, GRACE, and, MERCIES!!!

It IS ALL ABOUT LOVE, baby, all about LOVE!!!

MATTHEW 4: 17...
From that time on, Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

JOHN 14:15...
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

MAY PEACE BE WITH YOU, ALWAYS!!!

NOTE: I do not intend to preach, rather to reach; to stir up, awaken, to inspire, and, bring forth, in discussion, that which is, perhaps, dormantly existing in the heart of hearts, thus, little, or, no, sugar coatings, just THE WORD of *GOD*, the TRUTH, along with some of my thoughts. And truth is, I am reminding myself always, as I practice these reminders, in the best of my abilities, and capacities, while RELYING on THE LORD to lead me on that narrow PATH---> MATTHEW 7: 14: "For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it... TO *GOD* BE ALL GLORY...

EVERYBODY PRAISE THE LORD: LINCOLN BREWSTER

HAPPY SEPTEMBER! HAPPY FRIDAY! HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND!!!

HAPPY September! September is a month of change; Summer will begin to give way to Autumn; the green will become golden, red, brown, orange, as the days, and nights get crisper! HAPPY Friday, the last day of an eventful, strange week; may the times change with the seasons---

It is Labor Day weekend; time to enjoy the sun, surf, muzik, and more, before heading back into the usual schedules of work, school, and what have you! It is downright cold here today, but the rest of the weekend promises to be warm, so, I am sure to be out and about a bit...

Not so long ago, I detested routine, but I have since realized, or accepted, that routine, and the usual are like comfort aspects of our time, and yah, they need to be shaken up at times, but for the most part, it is good for us! I truly, used to rebel against schedules, and those demands which made it seem like I was in rut; funny how we change:)))

I am still having computer problems, but have become all the more patient, and have learned my way around them! I can't do everything I once did, but for now, it is sufficient enough to do what I gotta do:)))

As the world turns, we have options all the while! We can become enmeshed in the flak, or we can move through it, sharing the good, and spreading the ideal of improvement! It is absolutely difficult at times, to remain free from the snares that trip, and trap us, and sometimes we are gonna find ourselves netted, so to speak, but it ain't hard to get free! Mentality, and will, strengthened by the knowledge that we HAVE authority over our thoughts, actions, and reactions, aids us IN slipping through that which would keep us bound, and might see us succumb, as so many seem to do...

Politics ARE killing us; they ARE overwhelming us; they ARE diverting us; they ARE endangering us, and we NEED to get back to prioritizing! Politics are part of our existence, but they shouldn't become our existence, and surely, we ought to rid ourselves of the obsessiveness this particular political season has brought forth! At every turn we are assaulted by counter productiveness of that obsession! In all my years, I have never seen anything like the current trend to dismantle, and disrupt what has worked for over 200 years; not that there isn't room for improvement, but the way people are going about change, is NOT going to work optimally, and is adding problems onto our already heavy platter of troubles...

We have SO many issues to be resolved; our future demands we focus upon the imperatives, such as tax cuts, health insurance, the economy, and other aspects of governing which will make us all happier, more enabled, and thus, healthier. To put such aside in order for 'trendy' agendas to take center stage WILL cost us in the short, and long run, SO, it is time for maturity regarding our overall state of existence in this great country of ours...

You know, I went through a pretty good span of being anti-establishment, but I never considered using negative approaches; it just isn't how I am wired, plus, it counters what might be accomplished! ANYTHING negative brings more negatives, and THANK *GOD* we HAVE the alternative to be POSITIVE, and to act in it's optimizing ways! WHEN people are rash, bold, brazen, hostile, and otherwise negative, then there is borne, more of the same, leaving a bound, and locked door to betterment...

Well, I PRAY we get past the gloom of these days, and move forward to correcting that which IS important to our well-being! I wish you PEACE, HOPE, LOVE, and SOUND reasoning, for the purpose of growing, and thriving, regardless! MAY *GOD* BE WITH us, and may we BE WITH HIM! Enjoy the Holiday, we need a Holiday from all the senselessness, and be safe! Take care, and BLESSINGS always! OXOXOXO

MALACHI 2:7-8...
7/ "For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, and from his mouth men should seek instruction—because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty.
8/ But you have turned from the way and by your teaching have caused many to stumble; you have violated the covenant with Levi," says the LORD Almighty...
When you GIVE HOPE, you find HOPE, and, any time you find HOPE, be sure to GIVE it to someone else!!!

By FAITH we sleep, by FAITH we live, by FAITH we keep...lw'12

HOSEA 6:6...
For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts.

(MATTHEW 9:13 & MATTHEW 12)

The world over, needs prayers, day in, day out! LET US PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! Let LOVE be the voice we lift UP to *GOD*! May HE BLESS us, and, may we allow HIM to show us THE WAY!!! PRAISE HIS MIGHTY name, and, GLORIFY HIM in thought, action, and, reaction!!!
The messengers of PEACE, in the heart of LOVE, have been handpicked by the Creator *GOD*, from the ranks of life, for HE knows the effectiveness of using those who have survived the worst, and now understand the best. In this way, the warriors of PEACE & LOVE are empowered, with strength, fortitude, longwithstanding, therefore, enabled to create ripples in the minds, & lives of mankind...

No GREATER LOVE exists:

No GREATER LOVE exists:
as CHRIST JESUS died for me, I, also die in HIM, and, ONLY IN HIM, do I find LIFE...

LOVE ONE ANOTHER---DAN LUEDERS
