Hello all, I'm new to the forum so figure this is a nice little spot to get to know everyone. Your welcome to my profile for the basics, want any more info just ask, I'm fairly open. You will find I can be serious but mostly enjoy being silly. An expression I hear alot is "will you ever grow up?" My answer is always "why , children will inherit the Kingdom of God"

Otherwise I will just leave behind some funny stuff or blog stuff or whatever I'm in the mood for.

Have a wonderful day in Jesus and may He bless you always!!

Thanksgiving ain't all about us Turkeys!!!

It is that time of year when some of us start to reflect upon those things we should be thankful. There are some items that never leave my list and then some that change for certain seasons of my life. One of the things that never leave my list and for which I am truly thankful for are those individuals that take the time to keep my name before God in prayer. These individuals are not always the same. Some remain faithful because...I'm not really sure, but they are investing in my life. Some of these people are family or friends that want to see me succeed in whatever God has for my life. Then there are those who God moves on for a moment to call my name out in prayer. In whichever place they fall, what a gift they give to someone else! To know that someone cares enough to keep you before the throne room of God, petitioning Him for your good.

During this time of thankfulness be sure and remember these individuals. Maybe you could make a phone call or write a short note of thanks, just to let them know that their efforts are appeciated.

To my special group ( you know who you are), I will never be able to thank you enough for the time and prayers you give up on my behalf. I pray God richly bless you as you have blessed me.

My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He
asked me how old I was, and I told him, "62." He was quiet for a
moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

************************************************** ******************
After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old
slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she
heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience
grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into
their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings. As she left
the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice,
"Who was THAT?"
************************************************** *******************
When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not
sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandma," he advised. "Mine says
I'm four to six."
************************************************** *****
Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a
teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder
pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you
know what pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. "It means carrying a child."

In walking through the nieghborhood(forum) I see alot of disturbing traits. I am a firm believer that there is nothing complex about life, physical or spiritual. Most often it is us who make things more difficult than they have to be or should be. But I find that if we dig to the heart of the matter it will be as simple as black and white. "Grey" areas are places where we try to smudge the black line a little and thus make things complex not only for ourselves but those we interact with.
There are two verses of scripture that rule my life. The first one is :

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Sometimes that dreadful thing comes prying it's way to the surface when discussing beliefs vs scripture. That thing being pride. Which rides the same donkey as arrogance. I have seen points trying to be proved by taking two or three words out of a sentence. Using that same formula I could turn the Bible into a fairy tale, make a movie and sell tickets for millions. I don't seem to remember the parables in which Jesus taught being so complex at getting the point across. Most are childrens stories now. Why would the entirity of the Word of God be any different? Sure God tells us there are things we can not understand, so what makes these men of pride think they can accomplish what God has already said can not be. I get almost frightened when I hear those words " what this means is". (shudder) Saints, it means what it says and says what it means. I refuse to believe a God who "wants" us to come to salvation would make it as difficult as some break it down to be. The Word says the Spirit will open the scriptures to the heart and make them to be understood.

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His rightousness, and these things will be added unto you"

Understanding the road to salvation comes from God , not man. Yes He will guide your speech when witnessing, but I witness just enough to get them to church and no more. "Be ye fishers of men, you catchem, God will clean them." I would not want to teach or preach a message to a lost soul that God was never ready for that soul to recieve. I wonder how many people we have had "hooked" after 5 or 10 minutes of God felt witnessing that walked away because it turned in to "I'm right, your wrong" preaching.

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God".

Jesus told the disiples to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. Think they would have caught any thing had they continued to fish their way? I see post and counter post that pop up within minutes of each other. If the poster gathered his/her scripture of rebuttle to be posted in response and then STOPPED!!!! and prayed over it for an hour I wonder if the post would be any different? God caused men to prophesy, heal, part waters,etc. Why does it seem like some think that God can't cause a person to understand His will? If we would accept that, would there even be a need for "debate"? To me if someone believes differently than me to the point they are willing argue about it then my response to them is simple.

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God"

I assure you I will :nod


Tomorrow: That second verse that rules my life.

God bless you all and be happy in the Lord.:bliss

Former UK PM Tony Blair Converts to Catholicism

WOW...that head line is gonna send shock waves through the End-Time intelectuals.!

[scotty]

It has been asked of me on other threads, "What is my stance or belief"? I never dreamed I would be chosing a belief with in the realm of "Apostolic" Personally I believe someone, somewhere along the way had way too much time on there hands, anyway, here goes.
I have been a member of UPCI for 37 years across 3 churches. I believe in Oneness doctrine and Jesus Name Water baptism with infilling of the Holy Ghost as evidenced by speaking in tongues. Acts 2-38 is the formula for salvation with its power of salvation coming from the finished work at the cross. I do believe in Holiness standards, however I also believe it is Gods place to convict one of the life they live and not the church members place to point it out to anyone. I believe our convictions are different, each of us has our own "little gods" that distract us from our walk with Christ, therefore my convictions may be different from yours.
I do not believe the standards MUST be kept in order to be saved, yet I do believe those who do keep standards will have a more intimate relationship with God than those who do not, (providing they are keeping standards for God and not for there own pride) I love Jesus Christ and believe that love of Christ should guide everything from major, life changing decisions to what keys I type.
I give all credit to the written work of God in the Holy Bible. I do not hold to historians, books, website links or scholars. My grandmother once said; "Everything you need to know is right there in the Bible, If you can't find the answer then it is probably something you don't "need" to know".
I believe that Jesus taught in simple parables, so why does man try to make the Bible so complex. He is not a God of confusion, so why would His salvation plan be confusing? I think mans quest to uncover the "true will of God" is driven more by pride than an honest seeking of the way. I believe the Bible is easily interpreted through the Holy Ghost, after all its in simple black and white ( and red) . Its not until man starts smudging it that it seems to develop gray areas.
I also do not believe that half of what is posted on this forum about UPC is even remotely reflected across the entire organization. All dnominations have a few bad apples.

But thats just my opinion,

God bless you all,

[OneAccord]

Good post... though its a shame you have to "qualify" yourself by listing your beliefs. Some feel its more important to know WHAT a man believes than to know WHO he believes in. Its evident from your posts that you know the Lord... and thats enough for me to call you Brother.

I too have been asked, "Who are you" and "What are you". Who and what I am isn't important. Noone has ever heard of me anyway. It looks like people would learn to kook beyond "peop;e" and see the God they serve.

[scotty]

Well that is what I thought, but apparently the Apostolic faith is more "disected" than I ever knew, as a matter a fact I would find it shocking if I didn't fit in somewhere on here.
