Real Freedom!

Good News Brief Weekend

John 8: 36 “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”  (NASB)

Good Day Men!

What is true freedom?  We know that true condemnation and captivity is eternity in hell.  Then true freedom must be eternity in Christ.  I know of some believers who had a real problem giving up their life of sinful conduct and bad habits because it was so much fun from the worldly standpoint.  Satan had distorted their view of freedom during the time that they were unsaved that all they can see is what they left behind.  God wants us to see what lies ahead.  Visits to the past through our memories can be damaging to our spiritual growth.  God wants to refocus our efforts toward Him and accept His grace that covers our past sins.  Through our seeking Christ and experiencing the fullness of His grace we can grow beyond the worldly desires and see what Christ holds for our future in Him.

Our future in Christ is far greater than any sinful nature we left behind. “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”  Express your freedom and seek Christ today.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him... Rom. 15: 13 (NIV)

Have a great day!!!

Your servant in Christ,

David Calls Out!

-
Psalms 55: 1   Listen to my prayer, O God, do not ignore my plea; hear me and answer me.  My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught.  (NIV) David is going through some tough times here.  He is calling out to God for relief.  He knows God will hear him. We should approach God the same way.  It is clear that David has this unlimited trust in the Father.  David has a relationship with Him and God enjoys pouring out His love and grace on those who trust Him to do so.  At the end of this Psalm we see a new David.  Vs.23 closes with: But as for me, I trust in you. Regardless of any circumstances God is near and ready to hear you call out to Him.  Yes, our thoughts can trouble us.  As men we have a different thought life.  We know how bad it can be at times to concentrate on God in prayer only to find our mind wandering to an area it shouldn’t be.  Don’t worry God hears and knows your heart, and rescue is on the wa...

The Seven Promises of a Promise Keeper

-
  Promise Keepers 1993-2024-2 The attendance of that conference in Indianapolis Indiana at the Hosier Dome was a little over 70,000. Many conferences over the next several years averaged between 60,000 and 70,000. Several conferences were held throughout the year, mostly from early summer into mid-fall. Some conferences were held in open stadiums and others held in enclosed arenas. One was even held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Charlotte, North Carolina. Before we get into the individual promises, I have listed the seven promises below to give you an idea of the direction we will be following. I am currently working on a biography covering the years I was able to attend the conferences. Several years we were able to attend more than one conference and sometimes three. At the time the individual admission was $72.00 per person. Most of the men were from young families and the admission price was hard to come by, plus we had to add the cost for an overnight stay which var...

Instructions Of A Father

-
Proverbs 4: 1   Hear O sons, the instruction of a father, And give attention that you may gain understanding, (NASB) As I look at this verse for the day I see the seriousness of our responsibilities as fathers to our children. Just as we are to look to our heavenly Father for His wisdom applied to our lives through His Word, our children look to us so that they too, in life, will  gain understanding .  How prepared are we as dads to reveal to our children the truths of life as revealed in the Bible. The first thing they see is our walk. We can say all we want, but unless our walk reflects what we say, our children will not take what we say seriously. At times they will test us and push us to the limit. We MUST stick to our convictions. We also must fulfill the promises we have made to our kids. If we told them we would be there for them at a game, or some performance, or activity, we better be there. If we are not, then the power of ...
