As for Me and My House, We will Serve the Lord!

Like sheep without a shepherd, we have all gone astray, far from the source of life, leaving the way to victory and worshiped idols. Satan has taken advantage of our weaknesses and made us his captives. In that he has cause misfortune and led us into unhappy endings. We have the Lord; with Him we will never be defeated. Its time today to decide, as Joshua said "...Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." Joshua 24.14 - 15

Why not deciding today that you and your family will save the Lord. There is no safety out there, the devil is roaring like a lion wants to destroy you and your loved ones, but there is one insurance and hope that we have, before we loved Him, Jesus loved us first and died for you and me. Decide today to save the Lord. As for me and my Family, we will save the Lord. Take a look at this wonderful music video from John Waller. God bless you as you decide to save the Lord, not you alone, but with your family. This is my prayer for you today, "God, please reach my friend as he/she decides today to save you and claim your wonderful promises, Amen"

Don't be talkin' 'bout friends - Best Gospel Acapella Ryric

Of all the things to do to a friend

You hurt them by your tongue.

Relationships will fatally end

Without a knife or gun.

Waitin' till you 're back behind them,

Then you put them down

How could you be talkin' 'bout them

When they're not around?

Chorus:

Don't be talkin' 'bout friends when they're not around

Don't be cuttin' their hearts and puttin' them down.

Don't be temptin' the Lord and makin' Him frown,

Don't be talkin' 'bout your friends when they're not around.

How all the gossip falls on our ears

It doesn't make much sense,

How we can cause the innocent tears,

Not helping their defense.

Listening, we all should fear it,

Listening is wrong.

If there were no one to hear it

It could not go on.

Chorus

Too many friendships have been broken

By just a simple, careless word spoken.

Chorus 

Don't be talkin' down, throwin' down, cuttin' down friends

Why not treat them more like friends (when they're not around)?

Don't be saying lots of things, overlook the hurt it brings

Don't be talkin' bout your friends (when they're not around).

FAITH of Abram

Abram lacked the very thing that was most important to him—an heir.  But nothing is beyond possibility with God, including promising a child to a couple who are long past their child-bearing years.  Is anything too hard for the Lord?  God promised not only a child but descendants like the stars for number and like the sand of the seashore.  What good thing does your heart desire, that God as a loving Father would delight to give you?  Do you believe that He is not only able but ready to bless you abundantly?  Will you believe God’s promises to “give you the desires of your heart” (Ps 37:4)?  Abram “believed in the Lord, and He accounted it to him for righteousness” (Gen 15:6).

God also promised Abram the land where He had brought him, “a good and large land,” “a land flowing with milk and honey” (Exod 3:6), with the lush Jordan valley being “well watered everywhere . . . like the garden of the Lord” (Gen 13:10).  God had made a covenant with Abram (12:1-3), but now Abram asks for a sign that the covenant will really take place(15:8).  God grants him the sign (vv. 9-11,17), but also cautions him that the promise will not be fulfilled in his lifetime (vv. 12-16).  Only to his heirs will the covenant be fulfilled (v. 18).  What kind of faith did God require of Abram?  What kind of faith does He require of me?  Study Heb 11:8-19,39-40.

By faith Abram obeyed the Lord and Blessing come on his promise, so it is to me and you, its only by trusting and obeying we can be happy with the promises of God, nothing is impossible to Him.
