Good morning! How are we faithing? I see writings and I hear comments that sadden and cause me to pray. People who flat will not admit to them needing a savior and think they will continue to do whatever they "feel" is right and into heaven they'll go. Based on what? How they feel? The way they determine in their own head how things ought to be therefore they are? Wow..foolish. Argue as they may and rationalize all they want and truth remains truth. God made us. God made promises. God gave a choice and is honorable to let us make the choice and everything that comes with that choice. Even though some wont choose God, God still holds back waiting for all to come to him. I don't know why all things are as they are. I am glad I am not in charge because try as I may to take on the likeness of Christ, I fall short regularly. I have no where near enough patience like Jesus does. All I can do is live as he did the best I can, rely on the Holy Spirit to draw the map and the savior to lead the way. I have found that most times faith works because without it I would never trust the Word and it's wisdom to lead my way. I could real easily become disillusioned and distraught and you know what? Many are today so my job is to present Messiah in compassion knowing where all of them are because I have been there and without his love and a complete trust in my savior, the wrong path , the easier seemingly path would end up being taken...
2Pe 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

1Ti 2:3-7
This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
remember Jeff P...remember Dan Clark...
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your love that saves us. Lord we ask for wisdom to see truth and recognize lies from the enemy. Lord we ask for courage under fire that we see root and not surface. We ask to have compassion on those who are struggling. Lord we lift your name on high and pray for healing in your body of believers. Help us get unchurched and become savior led compassionate disciples of yours. In Jesus name, amen
