His Judgements.......

So missions conference is "long" past. Still have  great reminders from time to time of what the  theme was and on some of the sermons preached.

Just recently we had another missionay come and spend a week in Alaska. One sermon that he had that has really caused me to reflect on many things in my life was on God's Judgement. Often when we hear the word judgement we instantly think of it as a decision being made in reguards to a penalty or conviction of a crime (well, at least I did). Looking the word up...... which is apparently something I do now...... I found this definition "A divine sentence or decision". This so went in line with what Bro. Maulucci taught.

You see as he preached everything around us was a judgement (decision) made by God. From the beginning of creation, to the sending of His son to die for our sins, to the events that you face on a daily bases. This new insight that was presented to me opened up a whole new line of thinking.

To be honest, I am not one who spends a lot of time researching words and their meanings. Nor do I spends enough time digging into God's Word for the truths tat can be found there. I know I am missing out, because when I do have these times of looking at a word and thinking to myself... "that does not seem to fit" I always end up getting such a blessing from seeing more meaning in scripture because I looked at the definition of a word used.  These have been insightful and they have been convicting. Still, I highly recommend it if you tryuly want to be the person God wants you to be.

Sometimes a simple definition can have such a profound impact on your life and your understanding of the scriptures. Thank you Bro. Maulucci for spending time at our church and preaching the messages you felt directed by God to bring us.

I will try to update soon on what else is going on, like my bus route...


Laterz.....

Continue to Strive

 We all have our own lives. For me, it has caused a stop in my posting anything for a long time. Many events have happened since I was last on here. I never forgot that I had this "blog". thank you to those who have read many of my past postings. Once again, I have something for your reading enjoyment. I may not be great at having the scriptures at hand to back my words, but I know they are scripturally sound. Combative Desires   The battle continues to rage in my mind A reprieve from this fight I cannot find Take stands for what I perceive to be true Have plenty of scripture for strength to endue But my mind I find is still on the proverbial fence The desires I have are not wrong and very intense   Examples around me seem to show a different story Lives I see being lived to give God the glory Taking a path that to me seems contrary To the truth of His word not being wary   I strive to seek guidance from a higher power And still no assurance in this present hour I ha...

Hiking and the path of life

Teen Camp 2019 @ Twin Bears Alaska. This is a place of "holy ground" for me. A place of many memories now both bitter and sweet. A place that has been used often in my life to bring about a time of God communicating with me through many of the messages. As tradition would have it, we once again hiked the Angel Rocks trail. As the years have passed, I must admit that the hike has become more of a challenge. Some would look at it and decide to stay behind and wait for the teens and "younger adults" to come back. Whether a glutton for punishment or a hard head that will not accept the passing of time, I once again headed out. Many young adults and teens sprinted off in order to be the first to reach the top. As I walked along the trail, most of the time alone, God started to pour some spiritual applications about the trail into my mind. In our spiritual walk with God, we are all heading in a direction to become more Christ-like. Just like the trail, it becomes mor...

Life's Ambitions

Prov. 16:9 A mans heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. We can often plan out our day, week, month, year, or life. We set long term goals and dreams and either head in those directions or continue to plan to achieve the outcome. There is nothing wrong with the setting of goals. However, we must not "write them in stone". How often have the ideas and plans you have set have gone awry? The life events that has been handed you, end up derailing your dreams and ambitions? It can become something that emotionally brings you down to the point of depression. You can end up loosing your temper and becoming angry at people or situations that have interrupted or brought to an end your desires. How foolish we are to think that we are in control. God allows us breath. God keeps our hearts beating. God gives us strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. Oh we can plan. We can have hopes and dreams. But please remember that they are at the mercies of God...
