“Am I only a God nearby,”
declares the Lord, “and not a God far away?
Who can hide in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
Do not I fill heaven and earth?”
declares the Lord."

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare."

"For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function."

“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve. Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means.
When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them,
and in the end they will prove to be fools."

"Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning
and even among fools she lets herself be known.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.
A king delights in a wise servant, but a shameful servant arouses his fury."

In that day you will say:

“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world."

As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?

"And to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

HELLO ! HAVIN SOME THUNDERSTORMS HERE THIS MORNIN.ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A MONTH AGO IT WAS SO WET HERE NOW ,ITS SO DRY.LETS GO WITH TODAYS MESSAGE .......AUGUSTINE SAID THAT GOD JUDGED IT BETTER TO BRING GOOD OUT OF EVIL,THAN NOT TO PERMIT ANY EVIL TO EXIST."THUS GOD TAKES THE WORST EVIL THAT MEN AND WOMEN CAN DO TO US AND TURNS IT INTO GOOD.EVEN THE WRATH OF UNGODLY MEN BRINGS PRAISE TO HIM {PSALM76:10}.GOD HAS NOT PROMISED THAT YOUR LIFE WOULD BE EASY,INDEED,IT MAY NOT BE.BUT HE HAS PROMISED TO SUSTAIN YOU IN YOUR STRUGGLE AND UPHOLD YOU WITH HIS MIGHTY ARM.IF YOU TRUST HIM,HE WILL EMPOWER YOU TO MAKE YOUR WAY BRAVELY THROUGH EXTRAORDINARY DIFFICULTY WITH FAITH AND HOPE AND LOVE.THE TRIALS GOD PERMITS IN YOUR LIFE WILL LEAD TO HIS PRAISE AND GLORY,IF ONLY YOU WILL ABIDE IN HIM.FUTHERMORE,THERE WILL BE A RESTRAINT AND A RESPITE.THE HEBREW TEXT IS SOMEWHAT OBSCURE IN PSALM 76 ;10 LITERALLY READS,"SURLEY THE WRATH OF MAN WILL PRAISE YOU;THE REMNANT OF WRATH [GOD] WILL BIND,"GOD WILL USE MENS WRATH TO BRING GLORY AND PRAISE TO HIMSELF,BUT WHEN THAT PURPOSE IS FULLFILLEDHE WILL THEN RESTRAIN IT."IN EVERY DESERT OF TRIALS GOD HAS AND OASIS OF COMFORT". GOD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE PRESSED BEYOND ENDURANCE.THAT IS HIS SURE PROMISE.WHEN THE LESSON HAS BEEN LEARNED,WHEN THE REVALATION OF GODS GLORY IS COMPLETE AND YOUR SOUL HAS BEEN TRIED AND PROVEN, THEN GOD WILL RAISE HIS HAND AND SAVE YOU.HE WILL SAY, "NO MORE ".... WE DO GO THROUGH MANY TRIALS AS WE WALK THROUGH LIFE.

"Because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God’s grace with me."

“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you. You show love to thousands but bring the punishment for the parents’ sins into the laps of their children after them. Great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord Almighty."

I wasn't raised in the church but started going with the wife after we married.
I eventually was asked to be a deacon at the local Church of Christ. I'm not sure what happened but I started growing away from the church and before I knew it I didn't want to be a deacon and resigned then my attendance got bad, then almost stopped going completely. As I said before I don't know what triggered it but just didn't want to be apart of it.
On June 26 while trying to clear a clogged drain I managed to get crystal Drano in my left eye. I went to the shower and held my eye open and flushed it for 15 minutes. I then drove myself to the ER, I didn't want anyone with me because I figured I was about to lose this eye and I didn't want anyone there when I freaked out.
As soon as I got there they started flushing my eye more to get the PH level down to normal. I will not lie I was scared to death. They used saline a liter at a time thru a small hose. I couldn't hardly stand it so for the first time in close to a year I started to pray silently to myself, I don't know why but I did. I asked for the same thing everytime: for god to be with the folks at the ER that they have the time and patientce to work with this issue, I asked for him to be with my family that no hardship may come because of this and let me be able to accept what ever happens to me.
Well two weeks later I can see and they say it will eventually heal. There is still a spot under the bottom eyelid that looks bad but doesn't hurt. I honestly feel that I was given a wake up call with this deal.
So I have been doing some serious soul searching lately and can see that I wasn't the man I should have been for awhile and need to make some things right.
While in the process of all this process of this my 10 year old son's season ending baseball tournament was rained out and rescheduled for this week and they were scheduled to play on Monday. This is his week at church camp. He loves baseball and was torn what to do but wanted to stay at church camp over baseball because he felt it was more important. I guess I need to follow his example.

Sorry to take up so much space but just wanted to share this
