#BE MERCIFUL...

"Blessed are the merciful, for THEY shall be shown mercy." (Matthew 5:7) I am forever amazed by God's unfailing love for us! And, I am also very perplexed by the reason HIS long-suffering towards us, is so consistently and lovingly applied -- even when we are quite inconsistent and unloving ourselves! Generally speaking, I am willing to "go the extra mile" with the people that I love or that I'm closest too; but, only those that "I allow" to work my nerve -- which I would definitely consider "associates" that are given a "little rope" before "I handle my business" -- UFC style (Lol), through the power of prayer and the necessity of forgiveness; but especially towards the brethren and towards the unbelievers in our world who often "don't know, no better!" (Lol) "Family" definitely has a special place in my heart, but also tends to create the greatest challenge to my bearing "spiritual fruit" (Lol), when their attitudes and actions reflect the darkness in their own hearts; yet their expecting someone (like ME) to follow behind or support them in their youthful stupidity, when "being merciful" is never a justified excuse for not confronting or dealing with someone in their sin. Our judgment of them for being nasty, ornery, or prideful may be absolute truth and "spot on", when it comes to their character and heart attitude. BUT, I've finally learned that when God allows you to unjustly suffer at the hands of those who are closest to you, HE's demonstrating the power of this unchanging principle that says, "Always do what you know is right, and God will take care of you!

“THE LURE” OF WORSHIPFUL RELUCTANCE..

"THE LURE" OF WORSHIPFUL RELUCTANCE.. KEY SCRIPTURE: John  13:12-17 A SERVANT's HEART IS THE KEY Servanthood is NOT an exciting, popular or trendy subject to teach or to discuss at all. And the reason it's NOT the lottery pick amongst biblical topics, is because SELFISHNESS and SUBTERFUGE tends to rule the day, in a blindingly oblivious, sadly superficial, and intentional way amongst God’s People. Many of us begrudgingly spend our Christian lives submitting and surrendering to HIS Lordship; except we often despise the moments when — waiting through hard times, or waiting on the Lord to break us through; is no easy task or peaceful journey to traverse with a scripture or two to stand on, along with an attitude of faith to boot. At times, it feels like our confessions and professions of faith are being IGNORED, MOCKED, and DESPISED by the enemy of our soul; without us actually remembering or genuinely grasping how vested Almighty God is in our well-bein...
