HAPPY FATHER DAY

Here we go. Let’s take a trip through “Praise Land,”

Gotta start somewhere. Heb. 11:6

Believe there’s one true God?

Saved by grace and that not of ourselves it is the gift of God. Eph 2:8

Jesus is that gift. Rom 6:23

Believe it?

God cares for you. Mat 10:29

Believe it? Sounds like you have faith. Shall we continue?

Is it blasphemy to think of God the Father as yours? Rom 8:15, Gal 4:6

Easton's Bible Dictionary·

Abba - This Syriac or Chaldee word is found three times in the New Testament (Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6), and in each case is followed by its Greek equivalent, which is translated "father." It is a term expressing warm affection and filial confidence.

You are an heir with Jesus (Rom 8:17). Strange as it may sound in your ears, the same book that pointed you to the Savior in which you believe, points to the fact that you are in the Family. That is the I AM Fam. You’ve got clout now. Use it to honor your adopted Family. Pray for others. Make Dad smile. Introduce the rest of your prospective Family to your Father. Be a witness for what has been done for you. Be the man. Man don’t you get it?

Who’s your Daddy!

BELIEVE IT!!

PARTY TONIGHT(well soon)

I live and farm on a big estate. The owner is throwing a big party. Over the last several years, I have become close friends with the boss’s son (I’m really in good). He asked me to come to the party and if I wanted to bring others with me, that would be OK. I can bring as many as I want. This party is going to be huge. The owner wants it to be the best and has not spared any expense. He is not even willing to put a date on the party until there are enough people coming (I’d like to know who he’s waiting for). Anyway, if you know who the holdout is, tell him for me that it’s on. I’ve been told that my boss has been waiting a long time and that many people are not interested in coming or have some lame excuse, like work. I wouldn’t turn down free tickets to Disney (well maybe) but this, no way. Yeah, I said FREE. The boss has covered all the costs. Hey, you might even know my boss, if not, I can introduce you. He’s a real nice guy when you get to know him. So, unless you get a better offer (check the fine print) we’ll hook up. I should have more details in my next blog about the kick-off time. Details are getting finalized more every day.
YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS!!

For the Record

When I first became a Christian, there was great excitement. Great expectation! Something’s coming; something good, if I can wait (it wasn’t Maria). Ah, there was a song in my heart. I was in love with my Savior! I just could not get enough!

Now I needed to hook up with some other believers to get on the “Praise Train,” and praise Him (no not “Soul Train”). Now that I was amongst people (not just me and Jesus), I had to watch my rep (I thought); Be cool, don’t act the fool, don’t embarrass yourself by raising your hands and for crying out loud please, don’t start swaying to the music.

Thank God for Bible study! King David (a man after God’s own heart) caught some flack from his wife about the way he was praising the Lord (2Sa 6:20). You see, that’s what I was trying to avoid. Unfortunately, she was not blessed for her point of view (2Sa 6:23). Should I have been concerned, when it was time to praise God (amongst worshiping believers), that I looked stupid (sorry Pancho) in someone’s eyes. Well, if God is God, WE SHOULD PRAISE HIM!!! Watch out! If the rocks in your yard start to praise God it’ll freak out the neighbors (Luke 19:40).

The truth is I do sing and dance. I jump and holler at sports events (usually not too worried about how it looks). Never, during worship, do I sing for myself or am being moved, merely because of the quality of the music. If someone is watching, my hands are raised and my feet move; praising Christ, I am. Let the scoffers bring it to the Great I Am about my foolishness. There is no mistake and for the record; David, I’m with you (Psalm 134:2).
