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

ANOTHER DAY OF UNDERMINING...

CHRIST JESUS, our LORD and SAVIOUR said, "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone---" (JOHN 8: 7)! This has diverse meanings, for sure! "Judge not, or you will be judged" (MATTHEW 7: 1) is one, which spans into 'walk a mile in my shoes', plus, if you don't know the facts, or the whole story, how can you determine the outcome, or make assumptions? It seems that such important instructions are not being taught anymore, and if they are, they are being thrown to the wind---

Minute after minute, hour after hour, people are slandering, libeling, and much worse, others, based upon opinion, hearsay, and emotions, void of proof, or of compassion, or the ability to be honest about one's self! IF people would remember that much of what they condemn others for, they are also, guilty of, there would be less noise, hostility, and violence!!!

NONE, NOT ONE is perfect, or completely right, or without err, sin, or mistake! Yet, the assault against anyone who does wrong is harsh, and loud! AS IF no one else is erring, sinning, or making mistakes! STOP! It is getting out of hand, and is truly, despicable in so many ways! The mob mentality is gaining momentum, which IS breeding greater contempt, and adversity, all of which IS going to head, and blow up in our faces!!!

There is like a frenzy TO cause harm to others, be that to deride them, ridicule them, shame them, hurt them, and ruin their lives! It IS awful, and besides wrong, so very indicative of where we are heading, which WILL be LOTS worse than this present time! The REALLY SAD thing IS, we HAVE the power to nip it all in the bud, and just stop it, and BE BETTER people! But alas, there is a perverse pleasure derived in the craze to demean, debase, and humiliate others! WHY? WHAT does one gain in doing so? DON'T we know that what goes around comes around???

Sometimes my neck hurts from shaking my head so much; I NEVER thought I would exist in such a cold, mean, and bullying world! RAW injustice IS being done to SO many, some of whom HAVE erred or whatever, but some whom are not deserving! There is a general animosity which is creating hatred in waves that is EASILY melded into the being, and like a venom, poisons! EVERYONE OUGHT to be concerned with what is playing out in societies today, BECAUSE there is a leaning towards wrong, bad, unjust, and downright evil, which WILL erupt FOR ALL, believe it!!!
For the life of me, I CANNOT understand WHY anyone wants to, or chooses to exist in ANY thing adverse, dark, or wicked! We HAVE the power TO exist in the good, right, and just, AND doing so, IS optimizing, as what is wholesome BRINGS well-being TO ALL, and our overall environment, and existence! Doesn't make a bit of sense...

LOVE IS THE ANSWER, and THE ANTIDOTE, WITHOUT FAIL! WHEN we become one with LOVE, we SEE TRUTH as it is; restorative, healthy, and beneficial IN endless ways! IF we ALL existed in LOVE, this Earth WOULD be as Eden; YAH, HEAVEN ON EARTH, BECAUSE LOVE gives, shares, tolerates, understands, is compassionate, caring, gentle, kind, peaceable, forgiving, and well, it IS POSITIVE, CONSTRUCTIVE, VALUABLE, FAVOURABLE, and WORTHY, AND WE ARE WORTHY OF IT, AS we ARE designed OF IT, IN IT, and FOR IT! WE MAKE the choice to either embrace it, or deny it; ABSOLUTE TRUTH!!!

Existing on edge, anxious, nervous, fearful, volatile, hateful, angry, mean, and all that senselessness does NOTHING for ANYONE, let alone those choosing to do so! SERIOUSLY, THINK about the negative EFFECTS of leading such a life, and the MANY complications, and dissatisfaction's therein, and you WILL SEE what I am talking about! It IS a DARK world to exist in, and a dangerous one at that, AS NOTHING good, or wholesome is IN the mix!!!

At any rate, we NEED to grow up, and assess the future; individually, and together, FOR the sake of ALL, and for the sake of souls! WHEN we undermine each other, we undermine the very quality of life we seek, as well as the future, and the INNATE, INTRINSIC LOVE, hence, the GOOD, which builds us, and our existence, up!!!

Maturity does NOT come with age, UNLESS one is ACTIVELY learning, thinking, and correcting!!!

May *GOD* HELP us, and may we CONSIDER ourselves BEFORE rashly judging, and condemning others, ESPECIALLY when based upon emotion, opinion, hearsay, or following the crowd! Time IS SHORTER than we know, and goes by SO fast, therefore, grab the best of it, share that, and exist in it; the alternative is like a nightmare, and destroys one from the inside out, and spreads like a disease outwardly!!!

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!!!

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
