I am back FINALLY!

-
I apologize for the long delay between this and my last post.  The work schedule has been incredibly hectic to say the least.  I have been thinking about this blog quite often but just haven't had the time do to my current work load.

I have been thinking about our journey and wanted to let you know that this way to communicate with you folks is always on my heart.

So here we GO........

I have been going through my personal library at my home and am beginning to "downsize" a bit.  I have too many books that I have either read or simply have no use for any longer.  But going through each of these books I am re-discovering some real jewels of reading material I am anxious to return to.  Others are just taking up much needed space in my Study.  My favorites are Biographies.  Right along side of books on Spiritual Prayer, by Charles Spurgeon, Andrew Murray, D.L. Moody and the like.  I do have a few more contemporary writers that I enjoy as well, like Dr. David Jeremiah, Dr. Charles Stanley, Dr. Chuck Swindoll and others to name a few.  I always glean much from the more antiquated writers and their works than one would expect.  In their styles one must proceed slowly to obtain a great sense of their focus and the deeper message the are trying to convey.  But God has a purpose in these great works.  Even speaking to us as Men of God on occasion and not only the larger combined masses.

As God speaks to us through the history and struggles of Saints who have gone before, we need to understand their sense of growth in Christ along their journey, otherwise their writings would be pointless, and that is not how God would want us to view His warriors of old.  They, as we do today have great desire to seek God on the level that would honor God in all we say and do.  So in order to honor God purposefully with each and every fiber of our life we need to see beyond the immediate and look to the future along the way. In doing this we give God something to work with so He can mature us into his man and working useful tool.

Not to leave out God's Word in this, remember that God speaks through those He commissioned to build His Word as well, so give Him time and opportunity there as well.

I will post again as time permits do to my current work schedule.

Take care and God Bless.  Have a great week!

Rev. Ted J. Wilkins

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 ...
