Forever Love

2012-02-07T16:05:00.001-05:00

Your smile A tender touch

Forever here in a heart

that loved so much

Here within my hand,

Holding the only key

Unlocking the door Once more

I recall

A love

Within these memories

I will cherish them for always

When I see you in my dreams

Here.... I am

Gazing into an icy blue horizon

That seems to go on and on

There is peace and serenity

In the silence

This journey of the setting of the sun

Gently it brings

Ending of a beautiful day

When I received the news You were gone

For a while somehow I just lost my way

Standing so close by

If I but close my eyes

I feel you near

If I reached out I could touch you

Just this once

Without any tears

I see you clearly

Remembering your laughter

I can walk here in the sunshine

Though I have felt the cold, cold rain

Losing you had brought me to My knees

Without you, the nights seemed endless

Yet God saw me through

All the suffering and the pain

On the day we parted

Is it possible the words

left unspoken were meant to be

Safely here within this heart you will remain

For someday we will meet…

We will see each other once again…

I know

And I believe there are Angels surrounding me wherever I go

Tomorrow is a new beginning

for each of us

I will take this gift I’ve been given

Could it be you have been watching over me from above

As I gaze into a midnight blue canopy of stars

I know there is peace where you are

And You will always be my forever love..

Crocuses on Mount

2010-12-21T13:24:00.002-05:00

Mount Valley is like a national park just on the outskirts far away from city and is the weekend playground like residents to me.

It’s also a site of outstanding natural beauty and environmental importance. When Spring comes, the mountainside comes alive with many flowers, some of them very rare. Walking in the mountains demands some attention to the weight of your equipment.

I had chosen in advance to travel light with only a few miles but With this equipment I was able to get down low enough, focus close enough and keep the camera steady.

I feel this photo captures at least part of the feeling of spring awakening.

Conform To The Spirit

2010-11-15T08:23:00.001-05:00

I wrote this as a note to myself a long time ago and thought I’d share it here on the blog. I hope someone finds it beneficial and edifying.

Let people look at you and admire the qualities you have that are a direct result of having Christ in you. Conform to the Spirit! Let it control your life. You belong to God and you are His child. Represent Him everyday because you carry His last name when you are called “Christian.” Represent your family that has adopted you and canceled all of your debts. The Father sent His only son to die for you. Be thankful and live according to God’s will.

If you truly desire to be conformed to the Spirit, you must come before God broken, with a contrite spirit. God cannot build us up in His family when we have already used our own earthly desires to build an ideal world for ourselves. Pray for God to break you. Who are you to be proud in front of an Almighty God. Humble yourself before the Father and cry out “You are King! I will place no other God before you including myself.”

As God builds us up, we must continue to seek Him. What we put in our heart will become who we are. Learn truth, wisdom and love and you will become these very things. Walking the path of faith is your mission on earth. Become supernatural as you are called to be and reap the benefits God is waiting to give.

A Natural Desire To Worship!

2010-10-07T21:33:00.007-04:00

Praise and worship seems to be universal. Have you ever heard of an explorer finding a new tribe or culture that doesn't worship? Worship is a natural instinct and a basic need for every person. A simple definition of worship is to regard with great devotion or to honor as a divine being. Take a second to think about what you are most devoted to in this life and ask yourself, "Is it worthy of my devotion; do I worship a divine being?"

We don't all worship the same God, but everyone worships something or someone. Since we all worship, we should question the reason for this desire. The most logical conclusion is that we were created by a higher being for the very purpose of worship.
The ongoing quest of man is to find answers to the fundamental questions of human origin, human nature, and human destiny. There is one book that has the answers to all these questions, including our questions about worship. The Bible is the wonderful and mysterious book that God has chosen as a way to communicate with us.
God is the focus of our devotion in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. In Exodus 20:2-3, God says, "I am the LORD your God .....You shall have no other gods before me." In Matthew 4:10, Jesus says, "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only." So, worship is not merely a natural instinct, it's a command from God.
Praise and Worship - Why Should We do it?
God alone is worthy of our devotion, praise and worship. He is God, our Creator, and we are commanded to praise and worship Him. Psalm 96:9 says, "Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth." Psalm 29:2 says, "Give unto the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness."
A.W. Tozer said, "Without worship, we go about miserable." God doesn't want us to be miserable -- He has a perfect plan for our lives. He has done so many things to show us that He loves us and doesn't want us to be miserable. He wants us to have hope for a future with Him --he wants us to have eternal life in heaven with Him.
A life of praise and worship fills our deepest needs, and amazingly, it also brings great joy to God. Zephaniah 3:17 states, "The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing."
Praise and Worship - How Do We do it?
God tells us how to praise and worship him in His Word. John 4:23 says, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." In order to worship God in truth, we need to know that Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." So, before you can worship in the way that God desires, you have to develop a relationship with Him through faith in Jesus, His Son.
The best way that we can praise and worship God is with our every thought and action. Romans 12:1-2 states, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -- his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Praise and Worship - Love from the Heart
Many people think that praise and worship is only singing songs at church, but it is so much more! It is also a condition of your heart -- a willingness to exalt God and yield to his will. Worship is an expression of love and awe to the God who gives us more than we deserve. Whether you express your worship by singing, playing music, dancing or in some other way, remember that you are called to worship God with your every action, every day of your life. God is holy, loving, and worthy of all our worship and devotion.
"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." (Deut. 6:5)

WORSHIP BELONGS TO GOD!!!

2010-10-04T04:41:00.006-04:00

Do you know that there is a spiritual war going on? It is a war between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of hell. It is a war as to which kingdom gets WORSHIP... God or Satan? We can see it from Genesis to Revelation ... every event throughout The Ages of the Patriachs, The Bondage in Egypt, The Conquest of Canaan, The Period of the Judges, The History of Israel, The Gospel, The Acts of the Church and The Revelation ... leads to one question: "WHO GETS WORSHIP?"Exodus 20:3-6v3 - You shall have no other gods before mev4 - You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on earth beneath or in the water below.v5 - You shall not bow down to them; for I, the Lord your God am a jealous GodExodus 34:14- Do not worship any other god. for the Lord, Whose name is jealous, is a jealous God.It is from these verses in the scriptures that we learn that WORSHIP BELONGS TO GOD AND GOD DEMANDS IT!What is worship? In Hebrew, the word SHACHAH means to kneel and worship. In Greek, the word PROSKUNEO means to go forward to kiss His Hand. In other words, to give EVERYTHING to Him. It is confessing Him as God.What is the work of the devil? From the account in Genesis of the Garden of Eden, we really cannot discern the devil's purpose. But in Isaiah 14:12-14 we see that the devil wants to be like God. Isn't that's what the devil said to Adam and Eve, that they too could be "as gods" when they partook of the forbidden fruit?As we look into the New Testament, we read in the Gospel of Matthew 4:8-10:v8 - Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.v9 - "All this I will give you," he said, "If you will bow down and worship me."v10 - Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'It is in the third temptation of Jesus that the ultimate goal of the devil was exposed when the enemy finally came out with the confrontation:

"WORSHIP ME!"
When we come to the book of Revelation, we see that God's purpose is worship and Satan's purpose is also worship. From chapter 4 to 19, we learn that the twenty-four elders and four living creatures worship in heaven. But in chapter 13, we see worship of the image of the beast on earth - worshiping the beast is the worship of Satan. In chapter 14:7, we see that the eternal Gospel is preached: "Fear God, and give glory to Him, because the hour of his judgement has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water."WORSHIP GOD - this is the eternal Gospel! In Revelation chapter 21 and 22 we read about the new heaven and the new earth. Again we are commanded to worship God (Revelation 22:9)(An excerpt from the book "Worship God" by Watchman Nee)Today as we stand in anticipation of His soon return, that same question is being asked: "Who will you worship?" What is our duty as Christians? It is not enough just knowing salvation or serving Him. What is it that will satisfy God? Who will satisfy Him?We must put worship into everything we do. Do you have difficulites? First worship God, Are you weak and weary? Worship God. We learn in Psalm 8:2 that the praise of a weak child has the power to silence the enemy. Satan fears the worship of God. Worship by the few today is giving God what He will one day have from all. What the world will one day give God, we first give Him. We do not need to wait till the new heaven and new earth to worship.
NOW IS THE TIME TO WORSHIP!
Today the Father is still seeking (searching, yearning) for true worshipers. What is our duty as Christians? Worship God!

Worship the Lord your God

2010-06-03T20:01:00.004-04:00

Jesus said it best, He always does. When he was tempted by Satan Jesus countered, "You shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only" (Matthew 4:10). Worship is not optional. Worshipping God is a command. Worship isn't an event I attend, it's a lifestyle I live.I'm going to be preaching about worship for the next 4 weeks here at EVC. I've been reflecting on this one thing for the last few days: Wouldn't it be sad if the element of true worship was missing from the church? It would be more than sad; it would be tragic.Of all the activities that go on at church, worship is the most important. Adoration of God is more important than activity for God. Many times we become so entrenched in the doing that we neglect the being. We can be too programmed and informed and planned and busy that we slight the real worship of our living God.A distinguished explorer was making a trek in the Amazon jungle. Tribesmen were carrying his stuff as he was making his way through the jungle. The explorer drove them hard for three days long days. At the end of the third day, they rested. When morning came and it was time to begin travelling again, the natives sat on the ground and wouldn't move. When asked why the natives wouldn't budge one man replied, "They are resting until their souls catch up with their bodies".That can happen in church as well. Worshipping God is the only activity that will allow our souls to catch up with our bodies.Nothing is more important than worshipping our God. My prayer is that we will all believe and practice that as we explore this subject through the Psalms.
Rejoicing in the Lord.
