Words of Instruction On Encouragement

-
Good Day Men!

1 Thessalonians 5: 11: Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.  (NASB)

How much time does it take to be an encourager, or to speak a kind word to someone that needs to be uplifted?  Here Paul reminds us to continue doing the same in his words, “just as you also are doing”.  A word or encouragement or appreciation directed toward your wife will do wonders toward lifting her spirit.  Sometimes we take encouraging someone for granted and leave that to others who are far better at saying things like that than you are.  But remember this.  You are God’s man and this is God’s time for you to represent Him to someone else.  Big responsibility isn’t it?  Don’t run away from it.  God has given this responsibility to you today.  Encourage your wife, your children (young or old, they’ll appreciate it), parents, friends, Pastor, Minister, or teacher.

It’s time to step up to the plate.  Encourage someone today.

May God richly bless us as we continue to seek His will and His way, through His Word…..AMEN!

Have a Great Day!!

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 ...
