That's an incredible unselfish act of kindness and integrity! As I watched, this came to mind. We knock it out of the park when we embrace Christ, but after we hit the homerun we ALL need the help our brothers and sisters within the body of Christ to touch all the bases on the way home. Your right Bobby! That was the best thing I saw today! Your Brother in Christ, Thomas!

Thank you Amanda! I typically don't get much feedback on typepad, most of my readers are on myspace. I will get a facebook account someday to attach this blog to it

Thank you Bobby...MY BROTHER IN CHRIST!! I decided to look into fear tonight and this jumped out! Job 4 (Amplified Bible) 12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it. 13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, 14Fear came upon me and trembling, which made all my bones shake. 15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up! 16[The spirit] stood still, but I could not discern the appearance of it. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, and then I heard a voice, saying, 17Can mortal man be just before God, or be more right than He is? Can a man be pure before his Maker, or be more cleansed than He is?(A) 18Even in His [heavenly] servants He puts no trust or confidence, and His angels He charges with folly and error-- 19How much more those who dwell in houses (bodies) of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed like the moth. 20Between morning and evening they are destroyed; without anyone noticing it they perish forever.

I pray that Harvest will bring many to the table of victory over the evil one! I pray that thirsty people will walk in heavy from worry, strife, and doubt. May the children of God who witness the Big Let Down series walk freely through Pensacola trampling demons! HEY! a short responce! I knew I could do it! Christ's Servant, Thomas

Sounds interesting, I'll give it a rip!

HA! HA! God Bless you Jeff! I'm posturing for blog love aren't I! It is what it is brother! To say the least I'm GEEKED about what God is doing in my life. I have never written well enough to communicate effectively until the past few years. I was a failure in High School I squeaked by with a 1.5 gpa. God has his hand on my brain lately. It's not a LOOK AT ME type deal. It's a look and see what CHRIST is doing through me type deal! I was shocked at the amount of Christians on myspace. I blog there too and get awesome response! I have grandmothers, pastors, kids, moms, and dads that I share blogs and life experiences with. Christ's Servant, Thomas

I'm seriously thinking about busting the cable cable down to basic for the summer anyway. It's to expensive, and I only watch TV during college football season. I literally (NEVER) watch TV. Because of vile garbage like that! I hate how Hollywood tries to pump its secular godless ideals and sickening moral lacking garbage into the living rooms of America. I am sick to Bobby! Children's brains are being filled with this junk, yet there parents stare blankly into this mind robbing box right with them, right at the same time. If you haven't, Have a look at my blog Bobby. I posted one that skirted in likeness to yours. It was mostly geared towards the subject of moral decay relating to America's children. I can't post html in this response box, so link up to my blog by clicking my name below this message. I think you will like it. It is the blog (next) to my most recent.

I am amazed at how some things seem to be time released in life and the word of God. You see them....even hear them. One day you uncover the words and read them yet again and KAPOWEEE! and they finally "unpack". Right place...and the right time...right on time too! The older I get the more I see that God has us right where we need to be in that instant, or frame of time. (right place...right time is what I'm illustrating here) An example would be my former landlord "Jim" I illustrated this in Craig's blog today too. God chose me. I started going back to fellowship. Jim saw me and how it was changing me. I remember one day I just HAULED OFF AND ASKED.... "Jim...you used to be in church and even had a Sunday School class" "why did you stop going" He could not answer. Time passed....I later got discouraged and quit going for a few weeks. I learned that Jim had finally been going to the church and services I had invited him to 3 months previous. I was overjoyed! He has since been been promoted to heaven! I was in the right place... at the right time...RIGHT ON!!!! PRAISE GOD!!! I love those wonderful words in the Psalms you uncovered! The strong holds must be shattered. They do not belong, nor do they fit in with a Godly walk. Thanks

Pastor Craig, Thats a great word friend! TRUTH....praise GOD! Romans 3:23 (New International Version) 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. YET WE ARE THE ELECT !!!!! I often wonder if I am good enough to try to witness for Christ sometimes. I wonder to myself..."have I been in the word long enough to write of my savior like this?" All I know is...what I know. I feel an overbearing DESIRE to get my words out. It's kind of like a habit Craig...I have to do it. I hope I am doing the (right) thing doing the "right thing" does that make since?HA HA! I knew of God in my adult life, but I did not fellowship due to an experience with fellowship in my youth. I have seen the light. I TRY to illustrate about what I know to my friends and the blog community...well even on type pad. I have an account...just click on my name below and you are on my blogs. I post them on my myspace page too. I see hits on the blog, but I hope I got that stuff right.....and I really really really hope someone sees what I have written and it removes a blockage in their way of thinking about God......thats my aim....thats my purpose....I try to invoke that life changing thought. Craig in four years since returning to Christ. I'm kind of choked up up while writing this. I know for a fact the Lord had used me to bring my friend and landlord to the Lord. He is now with the Lord. Also my former neighbors and children. I tell you man...NOTHING BEATS THE FEELING of seeing a 13 year old go to the alter especially when you brought them to the service. I APPRECIATE YOU !!! MY batteries were getting a little low, but I am reminded that I was picked to when I was unworthy! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

Every time I read about when Christ was born into humanity to show us the way I get excited as if I were reading about it for the first time. Yes...praise God!

I know what you are saying. Our country has changed DRAMATICALLY since those words were spoken. In our present economic stance and world wide validity those words would probably be seen as a mere empty statement. On another subject, in recent days I have seen allot of stuff on image. Earlier this evening I asked the holy spirit to guide me in my writings (I'm new at this)...anyway...The words flowed and I strung them together quite well.

Ahhhhh yes....the "Iphone". I just now got my first camera phone, and designated a "ring back" tone. I think I'm around 4 years behind as far as cell phone technology, but I'll get there when I get there. ENJOY and CELEBRATE your birthday Brother!

Timeless verse! Hey, I prayed on what I wanted to blog about. It is on "image". I found a great video on it! It's well worth a look. Christ is really helping me to to my words and thoughts together. If you would like to have a look just click on my name below and go to my (blog site)

It is amazing the measure some folks will go through to look better. It even goes further than that. Bigger house, better car, more money, more attention. The world demands it! I think I have an idea for my next blog... ha ha! I agree Pastor Craig! Image isn't anything except "fog on the mirror" I can't remember where I heard that, but I dig it! We are all guilty of it at one time or another. Some of us learn of our folly and keep it to a dull roar while others keep trying to create a facade to compensate for a soul void of the Holy Spirit and inner self worth! To see my blog click my name below.

Well...I have heard of the scenario the guy is speaking of! I heard of this a while back, and I think it was about Germany. Sitting is done versus standing due to public sanitation purposes. This law probably goes into FULL effect during Oktoberfest probably...ha ha ehha uhmmm eh ha! This man even twists a sanitation ordinance into something to support his KJV argument! Annnnnyways we can't undo the type of inward focused teaching and beliefs this unfortunate guy has obviously had hammered into his skull for many years. What we can do is keep the focus outward and win souls for Christ! Our kind of churches are there to help folks who have been spiritually wounded "like me", AND those who have been otherwise un-churched their whole life. I love spreading the good news!

Oh great, now "Cletus Take the Reel" is going to be bouncin' round' my brain all week. Thanks....

***I apologize for the previous partial comment*** HA HA! Standing still in a world of motion will be noticed! That fascinating video is proof! As the body of Christ it is important to stand on the foundation of the word of God to meet people right where they are as they go through the motions of life. The animated background of the world is speeding by... If we do not hold firm we will be swept away too.

FAR OUT MAN!

Sure, I remember Clint Eastwood. I loved his westerns too! As for westerns, Lonesome Dove is still my all time fav Jeff. My first memory of Eastwood was when my Mom and her Boyfriend took me with them to a movie, I was like 6 or 7. (Every Which way but Loose). "Right Turn Clyde" I'll never forget it. :D.

Right On! ty PC

I'll make it a point to check out "3-10 to Yuma". Tombstone was great, but The epic western that brought on the resurgence of westerns annnnnnnnd my all time favorite was Lonsome Dove. Yeah...Yeah it was a five parter, but they nailed it. I guess it's cause I'm creeping up the age hill, but "IMO" that one is TOUGH to follow.

I love your style of blogging Pastor Craig. I think I will refer to your blog as part of my devotionals. I often wonder if I have reached the apex on what God wants me to do for his glory, then I keep getting the feeling that their is something more...something bigger...keep brain storming...keep thinking. I have stumbled in my walk, but make NO mistake. Gods word is seared into my soul. I was telling PB and the pastor of my church Doug Holmes that I have a heart for orphans, elderly, internet ministry, and internet witnessing, and a HUGE heart for creatively convincing and illustrating the existence of our Lord and savior. I keep getting the feeling that he wants to reveal something to me, but I dunno man...I also get the feeling I have growing and learning to do beforehand. I can't quite put my finger on it.

I used to be attend Harvest and I sure blew what you outlined in your blog! I got away from fellowshipping all together when I moved to Milton, but I'm connecting with Christian Life Church and I should soon be back on tract totally. I have a type pad account as well, feel free to visit my blog if you wish...
