Cry Out To Jesus - He Will Give You Rest

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Mat 11:28
 
 
Third Day - Cry Out To Jesus


To everyone who's lost someone they love
Long before it was their time
You feel like the days you had were not enough
when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains
Keeping you back from your life
You believe that there's nothing and there is no one
Who can make it right

Chorus

There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on
They lost all of their faith and love
They've done all they can to make it right again
Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains
You try to give up but you come back again
Just remember that you're not alone in your shame
And your suffering

Chorus

When your lonely (when you're lonely)
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone
Wiping the tears from her eyes
For the children around the world without a home
Say a prayer tonight

SALVATION - UNEARNED, ETERNAL, ENDURING

The basis for my belief on Salvation.

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29
The Christian Research Institute mirrors my belief and points to other passages which build a case which confirms the eternal condition of the Lord's flock.

God chose me before I chose Him. Why, me? NOT a CluE! But, He doesn't make mistakes.
I suppose I will throw this up on a post for others to consider. Maybe, it will help another Christian to better understand their relationship with their adoptive Heavenly Father.

Can Christians lose their salvation?

by Christian Research Institute

"Sincere believers are sharply divided on this question. Some say Christians can lose their salvation and subsequently must be born again and again if they fall away. Others contend that true believers cannot lose their salvation through sin, but they can apostatize or walk away from their salvation. Still others hold that salvation begins at the moment of conversion (not death) and continues for all eternity—I hold this view for several reasons."

CREATION AND LOVE

The trinkets of creation are beyond dazzling to these eyes, but, as my mind's eye moves past that which can be understood I then wonder, why and by whom? As I am part of the fabric of creation, and can reason, my attention is now directed at my perceived existence in relationship to my creator and love. For what other reason would man be given the ability to process complexities, if not to discover the answer to his essential quest - who made me and why?

Wouldn't this knowledge bring a peaceful resolve to mankind? Or, is there more to this eternal quest than the mind's eye can perceive?

APPLE REMOVES CHRISTIAN APP MANHATTAN DECLARATION

In an attempt to completely erase God and everything He stands for a societal kingpin, Apple, pulls out it's big eraser and removes one of it's few redeeming products - The Manhattan Declaration.
This product "speaks in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty. It issues a clarion call to Christians to adhere firmly to their convictions in these three areas".
The sodomite organization called Change.org made the complaint that the Apple App, The Manhattan Declaration, was promoting good, moral God-centered family values and found that to be very offensive to their sinful, sons-of-Satan sodomy loving life styles.

"Late last week, Apple quietly removed the Manhattan Declaration app, which had been available since mid-October, after an online petition was circulated calling the app a "hate fest" and saying that the Manhattan Declaration pushes "hateful and divisive language." The petition, which originated on Change.org, wished to tell Apple "that supporting homophobia and efforts to restrict choice is bad business."" SOURCE: FOXNATION

The Innocent Blood The LORD Would Not Pardon

"In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his vassal for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him. 2 And the LORD sent against him raiding bands of Chaldeans, bands of Syrians, bands of Moabites, and bands of the people of Ammon; He sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD which He had spoken by His servants the prophets. 3 Surely at the commandment of the LORD this came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, 4 and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which the LORD would not pardon." 2 Kings 24

The Unborn: Does the Humanity of the Unborn Matter Anymore?

Pro-lifers in the United States have always assumed that if they could demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that the fetus is a human person, then it would be only a matter of time before the courts and legislatures would declare nontherapeutic abortion — the willful destruction of a living fetus — unjustified homicide. Thus the pro-life view would be vindicated and nontherapeutic abortion would once again be illegal.

Some days the battle seems too huge and victory only elusive - especially when I engage in a conversation with one who claims Jesus as Lord and Savior, yet, have voted for the worst baby butcher to ever have walked the earth.

I don't understand. And, mostly desire not to try. A failure of mine.

Many flock to churches over money concerns - what about the blood?!

It is a sad state of affairs in America, the Beautiful, most blessed by the mercy and grace of God if only by withholding their mammon might His people seek to draw closer to Him. Even worse, shoudn't we, His people have sought Him sooner to relieve the continuing slaughter of our most prescious and innocent children within their own mother's wombs?

And, now, our mammon through taxes, is being used world-wide to murder even greater numbers of babies! Is it any wonder that He is drawing back His provisions to us through the legislative actions of those now leading America?

The harvest is great - and, few are the workers. Many 'churches' will miss the point completely. Their focus will continue to be on mammon and not on God. Those created in His image are being destroyed before their first breath ... and, shockingly, some after their first breath!

God help us, all.

Everyone Against Abortion Raise Your Hand

Submission? ... Romans - think!!

"Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God's minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience sake. Because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor" Rom 13:1-7

Tricky business, applying scripture to current events. Could the first couple of lines indicate that whomever resists the Obama regime is resisting God? And, will surely bring judgement upon themselves? By application, Obama is not a terror to good works and he is a terror to those who do evil - like abortionists?? .... hmmm.... something is not jiving with this model of application. Obama seems to approve of baby murder so much that he has authorized the distribution of the tax money I give to him, for the good of America, to instead do evil worldwide in the form of billions of dollars for baby butchering abortionists in other nations.

How can this be? Obama is God's minister to us for good? Murdering babies is good? Obama is an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil? What, he will execute wrath upon his own self? Things seem to be a bit twisted. Is it possible that this bit of scripture, and others like it, cannot be applied at all times and in all situations?

A side thought: Obama has not yet produced a valid birth certificate to qualify as a presidential candidate. Why not, Mr. Obama? Such a simple thing to do to satisfy the now numerous active law suits against you by concerned American citizens. Why no birth certificate? I do not accept this breach of the Constitution of the United States of America. Should I accept a man who would take the office of President by pistol and force - a coup? I think not! Yet, there he is! How can this be? Only by the hand of an angry God? How many babies have we butchered?... ?

The prophet Jeremiah had to endure an evil ruler. He was captive and even imprisoned for speaking the truth of God. The promise of a restored nation gave him hope; of a restored nation after the ravages of evil rulers had left but a remnant of God's people to rebuild.

"Thus says the Lord: 'Again there shall be heard in this place - of which you say, "It is desolate, without man and without beast" - in the cities of Judah, in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast, the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: " Praise the Lord of hosts, For the Lord is good, For His Mercy endures forever" - and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first', says the Lord."Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'In this place which is desolate, without man and without beast, and in all it's cities, there shall again be a dwelling place of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down." Jer33 10-12

Well, I wonder, is history to be repeated again? If we are to submit to evil - or perish - is God going to remove the evil rulers after a time and only a remnant of Godly people are left in captivity? Will a day come in America where the shepherds and their flocks can safely dwell? Or, are we waiting for something that shall never come till His Kingdom comes?

'Til then, I am not sure what to do with this command of submission... except, definitely, to pray.

Newsflash! JESUS' CHURCH SHRINKS 2008

Jesus declares, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" -get the scoop at Matthew 7:23

Christian pastors and flocks across America embrace the culture of death and perversion under the leadership of Barack Hussein Obama. The title 'Christian' takes on a whole new meaning in this season of compromise and deception. On a worldwide scale, Christianity is fast becoming a disgrace with Obama at the helm for the world sees America as The Christian nation - irregardless of Obama's proclamation that America is not a Christian nation.

Who elected this guy, anyway!!! Absolutely unbelievable... and, seemingly only by the hand of God could such a thing have happened. Can America the Beautiful survive without her Jesus - her God. Soon, we all may find out. The season may be ripe for harvest. Fear not, Christian! Prepare yourself for His good work and read His word, the Bible. God is in control, always.

Father Richard John Neuhaus - Pro Life champion

"On pro-abortion commencement speakers: “Who, me? It is exceedingly tiresome when college and university administrators protest that they don’t do what they so obviously do do. While effusively affirming their devotion to their ‘Catholic identity,’ they deny it by the most egregious of actions...Few things can constitute a more explicit, in-your-face, denial of Catholic seriousness than the choice of pro-abortion commencement speakers.” (First Things, August/September 1999)" Father Richard John Neuhaus From Catholic Online Catholic PRWire

I wonder, could pseudo Evangelical preachers be injected in what things Neuhaus found to be exceedingly tiresome? The likes of the purpose driven porn pastor, Rick Warren, is a supreme example of the denial of Catholic (Christian, alike) seriousness.

This champion of the rights for the yet born, Father Richard John Neuhaus, will be greatly missed.

Purpose Driven Porn King - Rick Warren Blesses Obama?

I might do better to stick to softer material. Topics like 'narrow is the way and few will enter'. Or, ' To the lukewarm church I will vomit you out'. Or, 'If you say you love Him, but, do not do what He says, than you are a liar and Christ is not in you'. Or, 'cast into Hell for an eternity'...

Well, when I heard the news today that Rick Warren is going to bless Obama on his coronation day, I could do nothing but wonder where all this rage from within me is coming from. I have known the Purpose Driven pastor to be very unrepresentative of Christianity as I understand it. Actually, by his actions I wonder if he is in Christ at all. The Purpose Driven god is a god in it's own eyes and has led many congregations way off course from the way of holiness.

Why the harsh words? I would not bore you with what little I know about Warren and his sham 'christian' ministry, but, instead invite you to Google a few key words which should provide you with a plethora of information to convince you that Warren is a bought and sold pseudo man of a god - not sure which, either money, porn, power, or .... ?

Here are your key words:

• Murdoch
• purpose driven church
• porn

Or, follow these links... and, take note: Murdoch controls much of the media which promoted Obama and the liberal candidates this election. Just what is going on in this Christian nation?
