The Un-Named Church: Recent Episodes
Kenn Blanchard
This is a Christian ministry created to serve both God and you created by Kenn Blanchard. http://unnamedchurch.com
There is a season for everything. I believe the season for the UNC is up. At least for now. This contains a sermon I preached Sunday at a church in Indian Head, MD looking at me as a pastorial candidate. God Bless.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Psalm 37:3
Todays message is complex and I have so much text and Scripture to back it up, I think I am supposed to write a book or provide an audio book about it for you. So I will be doing that in my spare time. Ask me about it if you don’t hear me mention it in a week or two.
Matthew 24
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
This is a Message I delivered today at St. Matthews Baptist Church for youth day and Black Hisotry Month. It was focused on self esteem, and what to do after you have made a mistake. it was recorded with my cell phone.
Daniel 1:3-7
Facing the test of peer pressure, leaving the familiar and encountering new situations.
Five Reasons to go to church.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
The Bible says not to forsake it. Hebrews 10:25
Go there for the encouragement - you encourage and hopefully its reciprocated we called to exhort one another
Go for the Message, to learn about God, learn of me-
Publicly praise Him Praise Him in the sanctuary
God may talk to you, bless you or someone through you there
I’ve noticed in world that what you spend your time on tells really what you love.
I think a lot of people fool themselves on this one. how do you show God appreciation? Its a personal thing, between you and Him. I can’t vouch for you or answer if you are doing everything right. I don’t have a heaven or hell to put you in. so consider the source. I’m just a dude trying to share the little I know.
God is up to something though, society is insane right now. what passes for normal is gross, nasty, immoral, mean, filthy and sickening. but maybe its just me.
Mitch leads us in prayer this week.
the UnNamed Church Podcast is changing slightly to a weekly show instead of daily. Working in faith, overcoming your doubts.
Kenn explains and shares some intimate details of himself and a plan to change the show for awhile. Music by Christian F.
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:12-14
Galatians 6:9 - find this Scripture in at least three different translations and meditate on it.
1- admit it. acknowledge that what you feel is loneliness, it happens to us all.
2. accept God’s answer for it- created with a void that only God can fill- call on Jesus,
3. find Scripture that speaks to you about it. there are many, here are two.
psalm 27:10 - Even if my father and mother abandoned me, the LORD would take me in.
hebrews 13:5,6 -5Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," 6so that we confidently say, "THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"
4. get busy living. Step outside - help someone else, loneliness is a choice, being alone is not, there is a difference don’t just sit there feeling sorry for yourself letting the enemy make you worse.
Find Jesus, Find His Word, Find His people, find life.
Trust God.
Isaiah 41:10King James Version (KJV)
10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Matthew 6:25-34New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Cure for Anxiety
25 “For this reason I say to you, [a]do not be worried about your [b]life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the [c]air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by being worried can add a single [d]hour to his [e]life? 28 And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But [f]seek first [g]His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be [h]added to you.
34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will [i]care for itself. [j]Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Jeremiah 29:11King James Version (KJV)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Psalm 143 King James Version (KJV)
143 Hear my prayer, O Lord, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.
4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
5 I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.
6 I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.
9 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.
11 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.
12 And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
Todays' Message is from a recording from Sunday's sermon as a guest preacher of St. Matthews Baptist Church in Maryland.
text comes from Psalm 37:7-9
Joseph step father of jesus
Joseph was a man of strong conviction who lived out his beliefs in his actions. He was described in the Bible as a righteous man. Even when personally wronged, he had the quality of being sensitive to someone else's shame. He responded to God in obedience and he practiced self-control. Joseph is a wonderful biblical examples of integrity and godly character.
Matthew 1:19-20, Luke 2:39-40
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. (NIV)
Luke 2:39-40
When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth. And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. (NIV)
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Psalm 37:7-9King James Version (KJV)
7 Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.
Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
James 1:4New King James Version (NKJV)
4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Colossians 3:17
Hebrews 6:1-3King James Version (KJV)
6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
3 And this will we do, if God permit.

Matthew 7:24-27New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The Two Foundations
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and [a]acts on them, [b]may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the [c]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not [d]act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 The rain fell, and the [e]floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Psalm 112 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Prosperity of the One Who Fears the Lord.
112
[a]Praise [b]the Lord!
How blessed is the man who [c]fears the Lord,
Who greatly delights in His commandments.
2
His [d]descendants will be mighty [e]on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3
Wealth and riches are in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4
Light arises in the darkness for the upright;
He is gracious and compassionate and righteous.
5
It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will [f]maintain his cause in judgment.
6
For he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be [g]remembered forever.
Just a reminder to mend the fences, cross the bridges and try to reach out to family members that you are not close with.
Have you made a lot out of nothing lately? If so, you are not alone. Trust God. Bless God. Enjoy. Repeat.
Matthew 23:24 (KJV)
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
The Centurion. Honoring the military man in our Message of Christ.
Luke 7 New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
Chapter 7
The Healing of a Centurion’s Slave. 1 [a]When he had finished all his words to the people, he entered Capernaum.[b] 2 A centurion[c] there had a slave who was ill and about to die, and he was valuable to him. 3 When he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and save the life of his slave. 4 They approached Jesus and strongly urged him to come, saying, “He deserves to have you do this for him, 5 for he loves our nation and he built the synagogue for us.” 6 And Jesus went with them, but when he was only a short distance from the house, the centurion sent friends to tell him, “Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you enter under my roof.[d] 7 Therefore, I did not consider myself worthy to come to you; but say the word and let my servant be healed. 8 For I too am a person subject to authority, with soldiers subject to me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come here,’ and he comes; and to my slave, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 9 When Jesus heard this he was amazed at him and, turning, said to the crowd following him, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith.” 10 When the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave in good health.
Micah 6:8New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
8 [a]You have been told, O mortal, what is good, and what the Lord requires of you:Only to do justice and to love goodness, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:15-31New American Bible (Revised Edition) (NABRE)
The Advocate. 15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate[a] to be with you always, 17 the Spirit of truth,[b] which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.[c] 19 In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me, because I live and you will live. 20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and observes them is the one who loves me. And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and reveal myself to him.” 22 Judas, not the Iscariot,[d] said to him, “Master, [then] what happened that you will reveal yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.
25 “I have told you this while I am with you. 26 The Advocate, the holy Spirit that the Father will send in my name—he will teach you everything and remind you of all that [I] told you. 27 Peace[e] I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. 28 [f]You heard me tell you, ‘I am going away and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I. 29 And now I have told you this before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe. 30 I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world[g] is coming. He has no power over me, 31 but the world must know that I love the Father and that I do just as the Father has commanded me. Get up, let us go.
Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, on your own intelligence do not rely;
and a baseball skit.
2 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
1 John 4:6 ESV
We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Jeremiah 31:33-34 ESV
But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
“I’m going with Jesus even if I have to go by myself” I want you as a listener of this show to be stronger and sure about the God of your salvation. It’s not about “religion.” God is bigger than that.

Job 19:25-27
25 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

You can prepare for the challenges of sin and temptation. You know what you are suceptible to. Proverbs 27:12
1 Peter 5:8King James Version (KJV)
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Matthew 4:1King James Version (KJV)
4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
1 John 2:15-16King James Version (KJV)
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Matthew 4:1King James Version (KJV)
4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

So What Are You Here For?
Ephesians 4:11-16King James Version (KJV)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Talking about sin.
In Abrahamic context, sin is the act of violating the will of God. To sin has been defined as "to miss the mark".
sin has been passed down from Adam and every person is completely full of sin and cannot help thinking and acting on it.
Romans 3:22-24King James Version (KJV)
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

1 Peter 2:5
Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Matthew 16:13-20King James Version (KJV)
13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Romans 6:23
King James Version (KJV)
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
In this episode, Kenn changes the show a little and brings in one of the members of the Un-Named Church. We talk about Jesus in this first of what I hope are more conversations.
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

386 - Let this mind
Philippians 2:5King James Version (KJV)
5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
thanks to Kev, Daniel, Mitch, and Frank for your attentiveness.
CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART AND RENEW A RIGHT SPIRIT WITHIN ME - KEITH GREEN
Both use electrical signals to send messages.
The brain uses chemicals to transmit information; the computer uses electricity.
Computer memory grows by adding computer chips. Memories in the brain grow by stronger synaptic connections.
is much easier and faster for the brain to learn new things. Yet, the computer can do many complex tasks at the same time
Both can adapt and learn
Both transmit information
Both have evolved over time.
is easier to fix a computer - just get new parts. There are no new or used parts for the brain. However, some work is being done with transplantation of nerve cells for certain neurological disorders
Both a computer and a brain can get "sick" - Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
Matthew 24:5King James Version (KJV)
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
there is so much to say on this subject. we will continue it soon.
Talking about the meaning of sanctification. "To be more like Jesus." Don't quit. It is an ongoing process.
Ephesians 4:22-24King James Version (KJV)
22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
In times of old, believers had more than one wife, all at the same time. here's a few thoughts about that.

382 - Trying to be holy
Holy in this context means: "set apart" or "dedicated" to God—to belong to God.

16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”[a]
Leviticus 20:26
And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
Leviticus 11:44King James Version (KJV)

Psalm 113:3King James Version (KJV)
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same the Lord's name is to be praised.
King James Bible
I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. Psalm 37:25
King James Bible
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. John 8:18
1 John 5:9
We accept human testimony, but God's testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.
Psalm 103 King James Version (KJV)
103 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
Titus 2:12
12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
New International Version
It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,No

370 - Purpose of Prayer
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 5 For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:4
Richard Smallwood - "praying for peace"
The Power of Prayer- We have it.
Are the worlds problems there because you didn't pray?
Matthew 18:18-20New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”

The Foundation of Prayer stems from this.
26 Then God said, “Let us make humankind[a] in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth,[b] and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
27
So God created humankind[c] in his image, in the image of God he created them;[d] male and female he created them. Genesis 1:26-27
We are the stewards of the earth. We have been given power over everything here and we don't even know it. This is my attempt to make you better, stronger, more effective as a child of God, a prayer warrior, and a Christian.
So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. Isaiah 59:19
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? Romans 8:31
"I have the right to do anything," you say--but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"--but not everything is constructive.1 Cor 10:23

"In God we trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, which was adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.[1][2]
"In God we trust" first appeared on U.S. coins in 1864[3] and has appeared on paper currency since 1957.[4] Some secularists object to its use.[5]
It is also the motto of the U.S. state of Florida. Its Spanish equivalent, En Dios Confiamos, is the motto of the Republic of Nicaragua.[6]

Romans 13:11-14 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
365 - You Know What Time It Is
11 Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; 12 the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; 13 let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

3rd Sundays At Carron Baptist Church
This was the second time I was blessed with the opportunity to provide a Gospel Message for the people of Carron Baptist Church in SW, Washington, DC. The pastor is recovering from illness and I was asked to "pitch hit/" in his absence. The Message was from,
Luke 10:25-37
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, andyour neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion.34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”

11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:

Ho, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and you that have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3
Incline your ear, and come to me;
listen, so that you may live.
I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for David.
4
See, I made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander for the peoples.
5
See, you shall call nations that you do not know,
and nations that do not know you shall run to you,
because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.
…13Jesus answered and said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." 15The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."… John 4
…34Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread." 35Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst. 36"But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.… john 6
What's the real message for today. Stop fretting over food, water and clothing. God knows you need that stuff. Focus on getting your life right and seeking to serve God and He'll take care of the rest.
Matthew 6:31-33New American Standard Bible (NASB)
31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But [a]seek first [b]His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be [c]added to you.

You who have no money,

and sinners their thoughts;
Let them turn to the Lord to find mercy;
to our God, who is generous in forgiving.
8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways—oracle of the Lord.
9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
10
[d]Yet just as from the heavens
the rain and snow come down
And do not return there
till they have watered the earth,
making it fertile and fruitful,
Giving seed to the one who sows
and bread to the one who eats,
11
So shall my word be
that goes forth from my mouth;
It shall not return to me empty,
but shall do what pleases me,
achieving the end for which I sent it.
12
Yes, in joy you shall go forth,
in peace you shall be brought home;
Mountains and hills shall break out in song before you,
all trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13
In place of the thornbush, the cypress shall grow,
instead of nettles,[e] the myrtle.
This shall be to the Lord’s renown,
as an everlasting sign that shall not fail.

Christianity is the fulfillment of God’s plan to restore a broken world through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. God is in the process of restoring the world.
Hypocrisy Doesn’t Discriminate
Perhaps the most important realization we can have is that hypocrisy is ubiquitous. That is, hypocrisy is not limited to one religious, racial, gender, or age group. Indeed, even the nation of Israel—God’s chosen people—exemplified inconsistency between beliefs and lifestyle.
We are all flawed people. We are Sinners.
We all wish we were nicer, more honest, more selfless, more giving. We’d like to be more concerned about those less fortunate than us. We want to live consistently with those things we believe are true, noble, right, pure, and lovely.
even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, --Romans 3:23
Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins. -Ecclesiastes 7:20
Most people would say that you’re a good person, but the skeletons in your closet might change their minds.
I interviewed an iconic porn star on Motorcycle Radio, for episode 16 and realized that I was a little wary at first. It was hypocrisy.
We all need Jesus. Every person is flawed and broken, whether we like to admit it or not. And Jesus came to fix a broken world.
Is the church full of hypocrites? Yes, it is. It is also full of liars, cheaters, adulterers, and much more. All people are sinners. That is, all people have lied, stolen, lusted, etc. Just because someone is a Christian, does not mean that he has never done these things. But it does mean he is warring against them. The church is full of people who have struggled with various sins in their lives, and all people in churches still struggle with various sins. The fact is that we have a fallen nature, and we war against it--sometimes without success--which makes our failures all the more visible to the world.
Hypocrisy is the claim or pretense of holding beliefs, feelings, standards, qualities, opinions, behaviors, virtues, motivations, or other characteristics that one does not in actual fact hold. It is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.--Ephesians 4:29
You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.- Matthew 7:5
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.--Matthew 7:1-2
And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”-John 8:7
Being a Christian does not mean we are perfect. Being a Christian means that we recognize our sins, try to turn from them, and try to act like Christ. But obviously, we fail.
Also, there is a sense in which the church, the people in it, are overly hypocritical. The Christian church is supposed to reach out to the lost but often seeks nothing more than being comfortable within its own doors. It is supposed to reach out to the poor and support them, but too often we see people on TV asking for millions of dollars. The hypocrisy is plain for everyone to see.
If someone has a high moral standard and he fails, then his hypocrisy is more evident. But if a person has no moral standard, how can he be rightly accused of hypocrisy? The reason the accusation of hypocrisy can so easily stick upon the Christian church is that the moral standard set by Jesus is so high. We, Christians, are supposed to be loving, kind, and gracious; and when we are not but instead act selfishly, our hypocrisy is all the more evident. We profess Christ and him crucified, but we often fail to exemplify his great loving sacrifice by being selfish and cowardly.
Therefore, we need to repent, admit our failures, and try to live as Christ-like as possible. We will fail, of course; and the world will point out our failures. Our actions should match our profession nonetheless.
So, what do we say when someone accuses the Christian church of being full of hypocrites? We say, yes, you're right.

2 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Godlessness in the Last Days
3 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.
The problem, according to the Bible, is not that we do not love ourselves.The problem is that we love ourselves too much.
Going to try to dispell some myths and falsehoods we good Christian folk perpetuate. Today starts with trouble. When stuff happens to us, it often isn't because of a lack of faith. Stuff happens.

Last Sunday I got a chance to preach at Carron Baptist Church in SW, Washington, DC. The message was on Trusting God. The audio isn't that great but the best I could do for us. Thank you for listening. http://unnamedchurch.com.
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15
we don't talk about trust much. everybody pontificates, exaggerates, embellishes, ---lies. We have we come to expect it. We don't trust leaders, preachers, pastors, teachers, fathers, or mothers. Something broke down. And those are the people we see.
How do you trust an invisible God? How do you trust someone whom you have never seen?
That is what I am talking about this morning. You don't know me though you heard my bio. But I wrote it. Could have said anything but we are used to it. Everything I said was true but you have to just TRUST me on it.
seems like a simple thing. But it is the simple things that trip us up. You don't trip on the rug when they roll it up. You trip on that little piece that is sticking up that you didn't see in time. am I right? It is not the big sins that keep us out of heaven, its the little ones.
rust as a verb means “to believe.” If you believe in something or someone, then you have confidence in them.
To gain trust, we must be believable so that another will have confidence in our ability to keep our word,
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. John 14:15
OK now part two, how about us. Can't we be better?
So, how do we gain trust? We gain trust when we:
Keep our word.
It is about living the way we talk.
Keeping our word builds substance to our character.
Deliver as expected. Each day, we have responsibilities. When we deliver on them in a timely and complete manner, confidence is gained. Yes, it is about living up to our responsibilities, but it is also about a being solid citizen in our workplace, neighborhood, and community. Delivering as expected adds depth to our integrity.
Follow through on actions requested. People depend on us. Work is a process, and each step involves another person.
Trust ourself.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,
It is about being fully purposeful in our words and actions,
Trusting ourselves empowers our soul.
Trust God
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Rather than being taken prisoner, Zimri set the king's palace on fire and died in the flames.
1 Kings 16:18King James Version (KJV)
18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died.
Well, Zimri packs a lot of living into one week! He kills his king; kills off his king's family and friends; repels a siege from Omri; loses the siege and Tirzah; and then ultimately goes into the palace's citadel, sets fire to it, and dies. Suicides like his occur rarely in Israel; as I read canonically, Saul, Ahitophel, and Judas Iscariot are three other examples (1 Sam 31:4; 2 Sam 17:23; Matt 27:5)
The narrative's speed indicates the swift unfolding of the week's events. Significantly, the narrative of Zimri's coup omits any details about its planning.[17] Their absence probably indicates Zimri operated single-handedly on the spur of the moment.
The narrator points out one thing Zimri does well: he kills. The Hebrew verbs indicate decisiveness: Zimri comes in, strikes down Elah, and kills him (v. 10). As a proficient killer, he next slays Baasha's family (v. 11). The narrator's contempt for the family of Baasha and Elah comes across strongly in v. 11, which describes each dead male relative as "one who urinates against a wall."[18]
Expressing no regret at their deaths, the narrator seemingly offers a "Good riddance!" assessment of both Baasha and Elah's reigns. Why? Because they committed sins, caused Israel to sin, and provoked the Lord to anger because of their worthless idols (vv. 7, 14). Chapter 16 highlights the sins of the kings and the people (vv. 2, 13, & 19).[19]
Psalm 139
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
2 Samuel 17:23
Disgraced and rejected by Absolom, Ahithophel went home, put his affairs in order, and then hung himself. 2 Samuel 17:23King James Version (KJV)
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

Samson - Judges 16:29-31
By collapsing a building, Samson sacrificed his own life, but in the process destroyed thousands of enemy Philistines. Samson's case was different. And while his life was not a model for holy living, Samson was honored among the faithful heroes of Hebrews 11. Some consider Samson's final act an example of martyrdom, a sacrificial death that allowed him to fulfill his God-assigned mission.
Judges 16:29-31King James Version (KJV)
29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Judges 9:54
After having his skull crushed under a millstone that was dropped by a woman from the Tower of Shechem, Abimelech called for his armor bearer to kill him with a sword. He did not want it said that a woman had killed him.
Abimelech (/əˈbɪməˌlɛk/; אֲבִימָלֶךְ) was a son of judge Gideon which Abimelech's name
According to the Bible, he was an unprincipled, ambitious ruler, often engaged in war with his own subjects. When engaged in reducing the town of Thebez, which had revolted, he was struck on the head by a mill-stone, thrown by the hand of a woman from the wall above. Realizing that the wound was mortal, he ordered his armor-bearer to thrust him through with his sword, so that it might not be said he had perished by the hand of a woman (Judges 9:50-57).
According to the first five verses of chapter nine in the Book of Judges, Abimelech went to Shechem to meet with his mother's brethren and his mother's father, and claimed that he should be the only ruler over his mother's brethren and the men of Shechem and not his brothers. He questioned them if they'd rather be ruled by seventy rulers or just one, and he claimed them equal brothers. Because Abimelech claimed them his brothers, the men inclined to follow him, and gave him seventy shekels of silver out of the house of Baal-berith. He and the men went to the house of Gideon which is in Ophrah to kill the seventy sons of Gideon, Abimelech's brothers. They were killed on the same stone, but only one had escaped, Jotham.
Since Abimelech was merely a son of Gideon's concubine, he made good of his claim to rule over Manasseh by killing his half-brothers. Jotham was the youngest brother, and he was the only one to escape from Abimelech's wrath. Abimelech was later declared "king" by the men of Shechem and the house of Millo by a pillar within Shechem. When Jotham was told of this news, he went on top of Mount Gerizim and cursed the men of Shechem and the house of Millo for their declaration then fled to Beer to hide in fear because of Abimelech. Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years before his death. God fulfills Jotham's curse by sending an evil spirit to divide the unity between Shechem and the king. (Judges 9:23 - 25/9:56 - 57)

Contemplating and attempting suicide is 80% due to depression and highly correlated with feelings of hopelessness. It are insurmountable obstacles which brings a person to this "edge". There are many underlying issues such as chronic loneliness, guilt, self-punishment, shame, fear, a way of escape, reunion with loved ones, or a impulsive reaction to something.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Faith Without Works Is Dead
14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your[a] works, and I will show you my faith by my[b] works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?[c] 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”[d] And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

It flows to the lowest valley;
The blood that gives me strength

Luke 12:22-34
King James Version (KJV)
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

"For yet a little while, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry; but my righteous one shall live by faith, and if he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him." But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and keep their souls.

John 6:28-29
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
28 Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
God's purpose for the Church is to perfect believers even to the measure of the perfection of Jesus Christ. Unfortunately most Churches teach evasive false doctrine saying that man cannot become perfect. "Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:."
Jesus Christ died to purify the Church and to make it perfect for himself. "Eph 5:25 --- Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish."
The very purpose of the ministry of apostles is geared to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. "Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily." Perfect in Christ means the following. We, as the branches abide in the vine, should abide by the word of God, receive the power of the Holy Ghost as the branches receive the sap from the vine, and produce the same fruit as Jesus has produced while he was a man. "John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ..." Then, we will be living as perfect as Jesus Christ was, when he was living as a man.
The Bible says that Noah was just (righteous), perfect, and most of all he walked with God. Even though Christian preachers find fault with Noah saying that he was drinking wine, which he did in the privacy of his tent, etc, the word of God says that Noah obeyed all that God commanded him. God did not tell him that he should not drink wine. In the sight of God, Noah was perfect because Noah had not disobeyed a single commandment given to him by God. "Gen 6:9 --- Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."
Do not emulate the wicked neither envy the workers of evil. Psalm 37:1
Proverbs 23:17

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5.)

Job 42:6
King James Version (KJV)
6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Just a little conversation after Easter. Something to let you know where I have been and if you are there what to do about it.
What have you been given? Taking inventory, checking your pride and ego at the door. Acknowledging Who God is and recognizing who you are not. And accepting that not only is He God but you are not. Asking for His forgiveness, restoring your faith and putting away the foolishness of the world.

John 19:25-27
25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Dear woman, here is your son," 27 and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home."
First two words of the 7 that Jesus spoke from the Cross.
Jesus Paid It All

King James Version (KJV)
34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews.
39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Getting ready for Holy Week
Luke 22:39-46
King James Version (KJV)
39 And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

Joy Comes In The Morning - Voices United
Yesterday we talked about the importance of pleasing God vs man. The Bible says to do that we must have faith, believe that He is, and is a rewarder of those that seek him.
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. Hebrews 11:6
Faith in God
Believe in Him
Believe we will be rewarded for this action.
What does it mean to have faith and believe that He is?
Hebrews 11:1 says - Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Change part 2. 25 min. God knows what you are going through. Trust Him. Change hurts sometimes, but you are a man, hang in there. You were created for better. Push through. Don't quit. Man up. Talking about Saul of Tarses.
The Conversion of Saul
9 Now [a]Saul, still breathing [b]threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, 2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; 4 and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, 6 but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.” 7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the [c]voice but seeing no one. 8 Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he [d]could see nothing; and leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
This is an encouragement to men. Bones Hooks, Eyes Are On The Sparrow.
Change kicks butt. We are called to change but nobody likes it. Today starts a week talking about it and how it happened to Paul. And how what happened to him will help us. The conversion of Saul. Acts 9. Read it.

The StarFish
While walking along a beach, an elderly gentleman saw someone in the distance leaning down, picking something up and throwing it into the ocean.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, picking up starfish one by one and tossing each one gently back into the water.
He came closer still and called out, “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”
The old man smiled, and said, “I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”
To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
Upon hearing this, the elderly observer commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”
The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked up another starfish, threw it into the back into the ocean past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”
Hebrews 10:24-25
King James Version (KJV)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Todays message asks you to watch and pray. In other words, the closer we draw to the second coming of Christ, the more urgent it is that we awake out of spiritual sleep! To "watchful" means to be vigilant and on guard, fully awake, aware, alert and intently focused—with several applications and implications.
Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Luke 21:36
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Colossians 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
God wants the best for you even if you don't see, hear or feel it coming. So whatever you are going through bless God.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5: 4
Mourning over the loss of a past life and death. We are trying to be more like Jesus. From the Sermon on the Mount.

New series starts today talking about the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, and how to be more like Jesus. This one starts with Matthew 5: 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
contrite, repentance, humble are some of the words in this. Those that think they are full, they think they lack nothing, they don't know or realize that they need Jesus, they may think they have lived a good enough life, and trust in their own ways instead of confessing that they are empty inside and that they need Jesus Christ, they don't know their true state, and so these are the ones that are in worse condition.

16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the

You are here, on this planet, in this time period, in this space to edify the body of Christ. We are all links in a chain. We are all necessary parts of a body. We are special ingredients of a soup called Christians

Romans 12:5
so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.

Luke 6:38
King James Version (KJV)
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Jesus called it giving.
3 John 1:2
New King James Version (NKJV)
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
John 10:10 - The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

John 21:25
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that *would be written.
Proverbs
27 Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.
2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.
3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.
4 Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?
5 Open rebuke is better than secret love.
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
8 As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.
9 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.
10 Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
12 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
13 Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
14 He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him.
15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.
16 Whosoever hideth her hideth the wind, and the ointment of his right hand, which bewrayeth itself.
17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
18 Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his master shall be honoured.
19 As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man.
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
21 As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; so is a man to his praise.
219- I give thanks
I had a "bush" moment. I heard or saw God speaking to me. I give thanks for you and all that is coming in His name. Isaac Howard, starts in song with Thank You Lord.
Psalm 75
King James Version (KJV)
75 Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
8 For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
9 But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10 All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God
91
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
3
Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a] And from the perilous pestilence.
4
He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5
You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side, And ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.
8
Only with your eyes shall you look, And see the reward of the wicked.
9
Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10
No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
11
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways.
12
In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
13
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
14
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.
15
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.
16
With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.”
When a storm in our life, really isn't.
If I had your hand, I'd fold the one I have.
I remember one time when I was crying in my beer, siting at a bar in some small town during my wandering days and met this old guy that looked at me and smiled like a man who was given a second chance. I have met a lot of old guys like that in my life, and now that I am way past 21, I am becoming that guy. I thought I'd do the same for you.
Each will be like a refuge from the wind And a shelter from the storm, Like streams of water in a dry country, Like the shade of a huge rock in a parched land.

You have a purpose.

Just add fasting.
Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus
Taking up your cross doesn't mean living with a burden or putting up with mess. It means we are to give up and crucify our selfishness natures daily and follow Jesus.
Matthew 16:24-26
English Standard Version (ESV)
24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul?
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal 5:24

2 Timothy 3:1-5
New International Version (NIV)
3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

Matthew 16:1-28
King James Version (KJV)
16 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

174 Dealing with frustration, anger, disappointment
Don't beat yourself up, the world does enough of that already. Without expectations you couldn't have had disappointment. It's not a sin to be angry but don't let your anger make you sin. sax by Melinda L. Ford.

Why You Can't Be Moderate
It seems as if you can't get elected if you are some form of "extreme." It changes all the time. Right now you must be permissive of everything or you are extreme. There will soon come a time when you will have to acknowledge what and whose side you are on. There is no middle then. Get right or get left behind...
Romans 8:5-8
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8 and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Who you calling brother?
There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

King James Version (KJV)
24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
Matthew 6:25-34
King James Version (KJV)
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Purpose, you have one. Don't let what is going down mess with yours. call me and share what's on your mind, what you are struggling with, or have to praise God about. I want to hear from you.
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. Psalm 107:19
No matter how we praise God, we must be sure to lift up His name above all else. “For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods” (Psalm 96:4-5). Putting other people or things before God is easy to do, but with the Holy Spirit’s help, let us praise God with all of our might.
Psalm 96:4-5
King James Version (KJV)
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

Psalm 84
King James Version (KJV)
84 How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
3 Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
9 Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
12 O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Praise Him Because The Lord Has Brought Me A Mighty Long Way
Adeion Hill singing Lord you brought me. This will bless your soul.
Psalm 147
Psalm 147
King James Version (KJV)
147 Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
Psalm 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 34
34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Galatians 6:7

Hell - A discussion
Talking about hell in the Bible, mythology, culture, Satan, and what the Bible says about three new subjects:
Dying a second time.
Eternal life.
Lake of fire.
17 min.
Most of what we know about Hell comes from horror movies, Paradise Lost and everything but the Bible. Pastor Kenn starts a discussion and path of thinking, but doesn't give concrete answers. This is just the first part of a long study… What do you think? Episode ends in a prayer. Long episode 19 min Matthew 10:28, Matthew 13:40, 2 Peter 3:13, Revelation 20:10
Peace in the valley was was written by the renown black gospel composer, Thomas A. Dorsey in 1937 for Mahalia Jackson. The song would go on to be a major hit on country/western charts with Elvis, Tennessee Ernie Ford and heard here Johnny Cash with permission and request. It was inspired by Isaiah 65:17-25
Isaiah 65:17-25
King James Version (KJV)
17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of theLord, and their offspring with them.
24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the Lord.
My Mission here is based on Matthew 13, following Jesus' example of communication and vision. He gave us five fundamental ways to lead. I am going to try to do this with the Blanchard Chapel, through the Un-Named Church Podcast.
The Method I propose to do this is:
Simplify the Message
See you as a person
Seize the moment
Show the truth
See the response.
Matthew 13
Parable of the Sower
Parable of the Tares
Parable of the Mustard Seed
Parable of the Leaven
Parable of the Hidden Treasure
Parable of the Pearl
Parable of Drawing in the Net

We are all two sides of the same coin. Sometimes we do some crazy stuff. We have to learn not to do that and forgive ourselves when we do. God's grace is sufficient.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Romans 7:15
Colossians 3:10
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians4:24
Music by The Swan Silvertones
The month of October we get reminders of all that is scary with the Halloween stores and decorations. How about spiritually? Do you realize how demonic the world is getting? How do you handle it? This month at least once a week, I am going to creep you out with some messages like this. To make you sensitive to the shenanigans of the other side.
Ephesians 6:10-13
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Last Friday, I was invited to play (guitar) with a Mens Quartet celebrating 25 years together. They sing Old School Gospel music," like I used to hear on the radio as a child on Sundays at my Grandmothers home in rural Virginia. The music is bluesy, and has a rhythm unlike anything out today. I am a novice guitar player and was way over my head but I went anyway. I have my own style and play melody by ear, like BB King and not necessarily chords and rhythm. This group of men, all in their seventies, when agreeable, belted out some amazing songs. The key phrase there was agreeable. They argued and complained about each other most of the night like old people.
The lesson I learned from this was spoken in Romans 12:16.
Romans 12:16 King James Version (KJV) 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
We as a people need to be more in harmony with ourselves. Listen to your body. More in harmony with our families. Listen to them. More in harmony with other Christians. Not many of us in agreement right now. Doctrines, churches, personalities, etc making a mockery of the Lord Jesus. as you listen to these old guys think about the harmony.
you might not even understand the lyrics. It took me awhile and I was there.
Harmony.
not even understand the lyrics. It took me awhile and I was there. Harmony.
Furloughs, shutdowns, Being Fired, Forgotten, falsely accused, lied on, scorned, it all makes you frustrated, angry right? Take refuge in the Lord. “As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
2 Sam 22:31
1 John 4:18
New International Version (NIV)
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
psalm 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order to provide for urgent needs and not live unproductive lives. Titus 3:14
do what is good. Prepare today for the harvest in the future.
Don't let your success as a Christian be accidental.
I thank you for being there for me. Thank you for your kind words. Like Jesus said, By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” John 13:35 Love is everything. It is important. It is more important that sex. Godly love binds.
Colossians 3:12-14
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
12 So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and [a]patience; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. 14 Beyond all these things put on love, which is [b]the perfect bond of unity.
song by Milton McGee, From A Mighty Long Way
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor.
Ecc 7:12
James 2:15-17
King James Version (KJV)
15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Matthew 6:22-23

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Make me a witness, make me wiser, make me worthy. A prayer to give me the courage to be a good child of God.

A Prayer For Hump Day
Trusting in God
131 Psalm
Lord, my heart is not haughty, Nor my eyes lofty. Neither do I concern myself with great matters, Nor with things too profound for me.
Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, Like a weaned child with his mother; Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
O Israel, hope in the Lord From this time forth and forever.
Simply Trust in the Lord
