TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN ABOUT THE HOLY BIBLE AND THE WORD OF GOD IS THE BIGGEST RESPONSIBILITY WE HAVE AS PARENTS. IT IS THE BEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE IN THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN BOTH HERE ON EARTH AND ETERNALLY IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY. SO BE SURE TO TAKE THE TIME AND SHOW YOUR LOVE FOR YOUR CHILDREN BY SHARING AND TEACHING THEM ABOUT GOD'S WORD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL THAT YOU DID.

IMAGINE REACHING HEAVEN BUT YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT THERE BECAUSE YOU FAILED TO SHARE THE WORD OF GOD WITH THEM...................... TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS CHRIST AND HIS LOVE TODAY. AMEN.

BROTHER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JOHN 14:23

“Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.”

I HOPE THAT EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED AUTUMN OAKS HAD A GOOD TIME AND MADE IT HOME SAFELY. WE GIVE THANKS FOR THE SAFE TRAVEL OF MANY WHO ATTENDED.

THE DANGERS OF SUCCESS

IN THE BIBLE THE ISRAELITES LEARNED THE HABIT OF DEPENDING ON GOD IN THE SINAI WILDERNESS WHERE THEY HAD NO CHOICE ;THEY NEEDED HIS DAILY INTERVENTION JUST TO EAT AND DRINK.BUT WHEN THEY FINALLY STOOD ON THE BANKS OF THE JORDAN RIVER,THEY AWAITED A MORE DIFFICULT TEST OF FAITH.AFTER THEY ENTERED THE LAND OF PLENTY,WOULD THEY SOON FORGET GOD?THE ISRAELITES KNEW LITTLE ABOUT THE SEDUCTIONS OF OTHER CULTURES,HAVING SPENT THERE LIVES IN THE DESERT.MOSES WAS MORE AFRAID OF THE COMING PROSPERITY THAN THE RIGORS OF THE DESERT-THE ALLURING SENSUALITY,THE EXOTIC RELIGIONS,THE GLITTERING WEALTH.THE ISRAELITES MIGHT PUT GOD BEHIND THEM AND CREDIT THEMSELVES FOR THERE SUCCESS.IRONICALLY,SUCCESS MAKES IT HARDER TO DEPEND ON THE LORD.THE ISERALITES DID PROVE LESS FAITHFUL AFTER THEY MOVED INTO THE PROMISE LAND.AGAIN AND AGAIN THEY TURNED THERE HEARTS TO OTHER GODS.BEWARE OF THE TEMPTATION THAT SUCCESS BRINGS.THERE IS GRAVE DANGER IN GETING WHAT WE WANT.{THERE IS NO FAILURE MORE DISASTROUS THAN THE SUCCESS THAT LEAVES GOD OUT},JUST LOOK AROUND AND YOU WILL SEE ALL THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US WITH,YOU DIDNT GET THAT GOOD PAYIN JOB ,GOD GAVE IT TO YOU ,THAT NEW HOUSE AND CAR,GOD BLESSED YOU WITH IT ,THOSE BEAUTIFUL KIDS EVERYTHING IS A BLESSING FROM GOD ,HE MADE IT ALL AND GAVE IT TO YOU ,THINK ABOUT IT ,WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN HIM?HE EVEN HUNG ON A CROSS,WAS BEATEN,WORE A CROWN OF THORNS,EVEN DIED FOR US,SO WE ,YOU AND ME COULD BE FORGIVEN FOR WHERE WE FALL SHORT FOR SINNING.ASK GOD TO BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE TODAY,HES WAITING FOR YOU TO ASK HIM ,,WHAT AN AWSOME CHANGE YOU WILL SEE IN YOUR LIFE.TRUST HIM TODAY TO BE YOUR SAVIOR...GOD LOVES YAS ,WE LOVE YAS ,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON,,,,NEED PRAYER JUST ASK ,ANYTHING YA NEED ?

COMPLIMENTS GIVEN HERE!

PEOPLE WOULD SMILE ,KEEP WALKIN AND WHEN THEY WERE STOPED AND ASKED ABOUT THE COMMENTS HEY JUST HEARD ,THEY STATED IT SORTA MADE THEIR DAY.THE MAN THAT MADE THE MACHINE SAID THERE IS A VERY SMALL COUNTRY IN ASIA THAT YOU CAN SAY NO BAD OR NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT PEOPLE,IF YOU DO YOU GET PUNISHED AND THE PEOPLE OF THAT COUNTRY ARE MORE POSITIVE AND HAPPY,THEY ARE SPECIAL AND NEVER CRITICIZED REGARDLESS OF THERE PERFORMANCE.EVERYBODY LOVES TO HEAR A COMPLIMENT NOW AND THEN--IF ITS GENUINE.IT MAKES US FEEL GOOD ABOUT OURSELVES TO HAVE THE APPROVAL OR ADMIRATION OF OTHERS FOR A FEW MINUITES AT LEAST.THE APOSTLE PAUL,THOUGH,LOOKED AT WHAT OTHERS THOUGHT OF HIM OR EVEN WHAT HE THOUGHT OF HIMSELF AS "A VERY SMALL THING"{1 CORINTHIANS 4 :3 HE SAID,HE WHO JUDGES ME IS THE LORD}HE KNEW THAT ONE DAY OUR HEARTS WILL BE REVEALED,AND "THEN EACH ONES PRAISE WILL COME FROM GOD"}COULD THERE BE ANY GREATER COMPLIMENT THAN THIS FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WHEN WE MEET HIM:MATTHEW 25 :23 { WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT"}WHAT AN AWSOME COMPLIMENT THAT WILL BE AND IM SURE IT WILL MAKE YAS SMILE AS YA WALK AWAY AFTER YOUR TALK WITH GOD ...ASK GOD INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY,BE SURE OF YOUR SALVATION AND WHERE YOU WILL SPEND ETERNITY,YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER DREAMED OF ,,,,YOU WILL STILL NOT BE PERFECT,YA WILL STILL SIN,AS HARD AS I TRY NOT TO I STILL DO ,BUT AT THE END OF EACH DAY I ASK THE GOOD LORD TO FORGIVE ME OF ALL THE SINS THAT I COMMITED THIS DAY ,,,AND HE ALWAYS DOES ,JESUS DIED FOR OUR SIN AS HE HUNG ON THAT CROSS. HE DIED FOR YOU ASK HIM TO BE YOUR SAVIOR TODAY,,IF THE GOOD LORD CALLS ME HOME TODAY,IL SEE YA IN HEAVEN...GOD LOVES YAS ,WE LOVE YAS ,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON

GOOD MORNIN EVERYONE! ITS AN AWSOME DAY IN THE RIVERBOTTOM.WERE CUTIN CORN ,I VE SEEN A FEW DUCKS FLYIN BY IN BIG BUNCHES AND THE AIR HAS A FALL FEEL IN IT ,,NOW LETS GET STARTED WITH TODAYS ,WORDS.A WHILE BACK MY WIFE ASKED ME TO PICKUP A BIRTHDAY CARD FOR A FRIEND .AS I PICK OUT SOME WITTY CARDS .AS I WAS STANDING THERE SCANNING THE RACK FULL OF CARDS,I RAN ACROSS A CARD WITH A CHIMPANZEE ON THE FRONT HOLDING A PHONE IN HIS HANDS.THE CARD SAID,{"I BETTER NOT HEAR...ABOUT HOW UPSET YOU ARE THAT I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY.I MEAN HOW DO YOU KNOW I WASNT IN AN ACCIDENT LAYING OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE?...WELL I MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN YOUR BIRTHDAY,BUT I DIDNT GET ANY PHONE CALLS FROM YOU TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY.ALL I KNOW IS YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE WHY YOU DIDNT CALL ME ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.!!!} WOW!THE EXTENT PEOPLE AVOID LEGITIMATE RESPONSIBILITY IS ALMOST LAUGHABLE.,BUT IT IS NOTHING NEW..{GENESIS 3 :12 WHEN GOD CONFRONTED ADAM FOR EATING THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT,HE CHOSE TO BLAME HIS WIFE AND GOD;"THE WOMAN WHOM YOU GAVE TO BE WITH ME ,SHE GAVE ME OF THE TREE,AND I ATE"}WHEN WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING WRONG,WE CAN EITHER ACCEPT LEGITIMATE BLAME FOR WHAT WE HAVE DONE OR SHIFT THE BLAME TO OTHERS.THE WAY THAT PLEASES GOD AND RESULTS IN SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS TO ACCEPT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR ACTIONS.IRRATIONALLY BLAMING OTHERS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER. A GOOD TEST FOR A PERSONS CHARACTER IS HIS BEHAVIOR WHEN HE IS WRONG.WHEN WERE WRONG WE ARE WRONG AND WE KNOW IT IN OUR HEARTS WHEN WE ARE.SO QUIT BLAMING OTHERS ,WE CAN ALWAYS BE FORGIVEN WHEN WERE WRONG FIRST ASK THE PERSON YOU WRONGED AND THEN ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU .GOD WILL ALWAYS FORGIVE YA NO MATTER WHAT.ASK HIM INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY ,HES WAITING FOR YOU TO ASK HIM TO COME IN...GOD LOVES YAS ,WE LOVE YAS ,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST,,,FROM THE RIVERBOTTOM,,,RON

PHILIPPIANS 2:1-2

"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.”

WE ALL NEED TO STRIVE TO BE MORE CHRISTLIKE ON A DAILY BASIS. THE SCRIPTURE ABOVE IS JUST ONE OF THE MANY INSTRUCTIONS THAT WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSE TO CARRY OUT IN OUR DAILY LIVES. GOD LOVES YOU, I LOVE YOU, AND RON LOVES YOU........ DO NOT DELAY, ASK JESUS CHRIST INTO YOUR HEART TODAY.

PRAYER IS A WEAPON AGAINST SIN.....

JESUS TAUGHT US NOT ONLY TO CONFESS OUR SINS, BUT TO PRAY FOR VICTORY OVER TEMPTATION. HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES, "WATCH AND PRAY SO THAT YOU WILL NOT FALL INTO TEMPTATION."(MATTHEW 26:41)

IN EPHESIANS, AFTER PAUL'S DISCOURSE ABOUT TAKING ON GOD'S ARMOR, HE CLOSES WITH AN EXHORTATION TO PRAY (6:18-20). GOD WOULD NOT HAVE TOLD US TO PRAY THIS WAY UNLESS HE KNEW WE NEEDED THE PROTECTION.

IN 1 CORINTHIANS 10:13, HE PROMISES A "WAY OUT" WHEN WE ARE TEMPTED.

EVERY TIME I HAVE SINCERELY ASKED THE LORD FOR VICTORY OVER TEMPTATION, HE HAS MADE IT HAPPEN. IT WORKS 100% OF THE TIME. SO WE MUST USE IT FOR IT IS VERY, VERY EFFECTIVE!!!!! POWER THROUGH PRAYER IS AT EACH AND EVERY ONE OF OUR FINGERTIPS, IT IS UP TO US AS CHRISTIANS TO USE IT !!! FOLD YOUR HANDS AND PRAY AS IF YOU WERE DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS. GOD WILL DELIVER YOU INDEED!! GOD BLESS.

WE WOULD LIKE TO LIFT MR. STEVE BROOKS UP IN PRAYER AT THIS TIME. STEVE IS BATTLING CANCER AND NEEDS THE HEALING HAND OF THE LORD TO BE PLACED UPON HIM. ALSO, WE WANT TO LIFT UP MRS. CELIA STUART'S GRANDSON'S MARK AND JONATHAN AS THEY ARE FACED WITH LIFES CHANGES AND UPCOMING SHOULDER SURGERY. MAY WE ALSO PRAY FOR THE SALVATION THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO EACH OF US AND MAY THOSE WHO STILL SEEK HIM ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST INTO THEIR LIFE TODAY. IN JESUS CHRIST NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.

IT IS OUR MISSION TO FULFILL PRAYER REQUESTS THAT ANYONE MAY HAVE SO FEEL FREE TO POST THEM HERE OR SEND RON AND I A PRIVATE MESSAGE AND YOU CAN BET WE WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU AS WELL AS YOUR LOVED ONES!
