 Romans 8:31-39

King James Version

31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The time was midnight,

the seventeenth day of December,

when I was born in 1941;

Born to a Godly father and mother,

who already had one son.

My younger brother was born,

on a cold January morn 1944.

Our parents, loved their three sons,

quiet in manner all three;

We walked two miles or so,

to a little Baptist Church,

as often as We could go.

There we learned about Jesus,

God's only begotten Son,

and about God's Grace;

How He wants to save sinners,

those who call upon His name.

One Evening in 1958,

I heard a message that stirred my soul,

" If you died tonight,

 where would you go?

A tormenting Hell or a perfect Heaven!

I decided to follow Jesus,

way back then, 

and I am still following Him;

Marching with Onward Christian Soldiers,

made of young and old women and men.

I think of Him everyday,

how He died and rose again,

and how He finished His plan,

by shedding His blood on an old Rugged Cross,

on that place called Mount Calvary!

He still sets sinners free,

when they accept His Salvation plan,

and call upon His Holy name.

I pray that others,

yes, others will follow Jesus,

just like me, so they can have a home,

a beautiful home in Heaven,

painless and free.

Yes, Jesus is the only way,

He is the perfect truth and Eternal Life,

and He gives this life for Eternity!

 Philippians 3:1-10

King James Version

3 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Are you a joyful Christian or does your face
ever show a smile?
Are you a joyful Christian and can smile seeing
a bright side in every walked mile.
JOY is a fruit of the Spirit, so let us smile and
gladly wear it.
JOY to the world for our LORD has come!
JESUS paid our ransom and set us free!
Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8 And they departed quickly from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshiped him.

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

DEAR SOUL, WHEN YOUR DAY IS FILLED WITH SORROW,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

IF OUR DAYS BE SUNNY OR FILLED WITH CLOUDS,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

IF OUR TRAILS IN LIFE BE SMOOTH OR ROCKY,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS.

WHEN OUR DAYS ARE LONELY OR FILLED WITH DISTRESS,

LET  US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS;

DEAR SOUL NO MATTER WHAT OUR CIRCUMSTANCES MAY BE,

LET US HAVE A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS,

HE WILL CARRY YOU THROUGH!

I AWOKE,
AWOKE VERY EARLY,
IT WAS ABOUT 4 AM.
THE PAIN IN MY HEAD,
IT WAS A THROBBING PAIN,
CAUSED BY THE WAY I LAY,
OR MAYBE THE FALLING RAIN.
I AROSE,
I PUT HEAT ON MY NECK,
TOOK SOME PAIN PILLS;
I WAS A WRECK.
MY BED ENTICED ME,
TO LIE DOWN AGAIN,
I LAID THERE TO DAYLIGHT;
I MEDITATED ON GOD'S WORD,
AND SAYING A FEW PRAYERS.
I AROSE,
MADE SOME HOT CHOCOLATE,
AND WISHED SOME FRIENDS,
FRIENDS ON FACE BOOK,
HAPPY BIRTHDAYS YOU ALL;
I SHARED SOME SCRIPTURES,
UNTIL JUST ABOUT NINE,
THE SUN BROKE THROUGH,
THROUGH THE CLOUDS
AS GOD ANSWERED SOME PRAYERS,
AND I PRAISED HIM ,
FOR ALWAYS BEING AROUND,
SO FAITHFUL AND TRUE!
