A Word For Wednesday-Choosing A Career Path Based on Principle

A Word For Wednesday

Life Decisions, Part 3

Choosing A Career Path Based on Principle

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

IF I make my decisions based on circumstances only, then I am likely to make a less than perfect decision. It is better if I make decisions ahead of time based on principle.

We found it better to choose jobs and career paths based on principle rather than basing the choices on money or convenience.

Thank you for joining us today.

A Word For Wednesday, Purposeful In Giving, Life Decisions

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Purposeful In Giving, Life Decisions

There are situations in life that require us to make quick decisions. That is not my strong suit. I have found it is best to make some decisions ahead of time.

We have made decisions in the past, based upon solid Biblical principles and personal values so that in times of crisis, the decision has already been made. All we have to do is follow through on our previously made decision.

IF I make decisions based solely on circumstances, I am likely to make the wrong decision. It is better to make the decision on principle before the circumstances ever come along!

Thank you for spending a few minutes with us today.

A Word For Wednesday, Consider Him

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Consider Him

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. {author: or, beginner} 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

When our way is weary, when the path is perilous and when it seems we can run no more, consider Him! Consider the road that Christ walked. He endured the cross. He despised the shame. And He did that for the Joy that was set before Him!

When we are weary and tempted to faint, we should consider Christ. Think about the Son of God that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself.

Thank you for joining us today.

When Your Box Falls Apart

Do you ever feel like things in your life are falling apart and there is nothing you can do about it?

Does life seem unnecessarily difficult on some days?

Why are we going through all the trauma and drama?

What should we do when our box falls apart?

In today's episode, I go through the process that I follow when my box falls apart. I hope you enjoy this week's A Word For Wednesday. Thank you for stopping by.

A Word For Wednesday, Everything Changes Except God

Everything Changes Except God

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the stuff of life. I am not up to the challenge. I am not as strong as I used to be. I am not as young as I used to be. No, I can not do what I used to do because time has changed me.

But time has not changed God! Hallelujah! God is still the same! He has the same power. He has the same strength. He has the same knowledge!

Everything changes except God!

A Word For Wednesday, Greater Works Than These

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Greater Works Than These

I am reading today from "John's Wonderful Gospel" by Ivor Powell. And I am focusing specifically on

John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Jesus says the man that believes on Him will do greater works than He, Jesus, has done. Wow! What an amazing statement! It must be true, because Christ spoke it!

Thank you for checking in.

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Let's Go To Camp Meeting!

This week is the annual Indoor Fellowship Meeting at our home church, Dryden Rd. Pentecostal Church in Dayton, Ohio. On Today's A Word For Wednesday, I reminisce about camp meetings in the past and how they have affected me and my family for good.

Have you ever taken your family and attended a week of a camp meeting? I am not very smart, but taking my family to camp meetings has been a brilliant move on my part, for sure! We have been abundantly blessed!

Thank you for joining us today!

A Word For Wednesday, Run With Patience

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Run With Patience

Notice the phrase in the verse below, "run with patience"

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

If I run, I run in haste, not with patience. But the Christian life is not a sprint, it is a long-distance race.

God did not call us to win first place. But he also did not call us to quit. He called us to finish the race. Run with patience!

In this Word For Wednesday, I also read an illustration from God's Gold Mines by C. Roy Angell.

Thank you all for joining us today.

A Word For Wednesday, Impossible To Done!

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

Impossible to Done!

My dear brothers and sisters, there is nothing too hard for God! No thing is too hard for God! That includes and surpasses anything that you need.

Hudson Taylor, the British Missionary to China said, "Every great work of God has three stages. First it is impossible, then it is difficult and then it is done."

  Do you have impossibilities in your life? It is impossible for men, but not with God! Our God eats the impossible for breakfast! If you can believe God, all things are possible to him that believes.

I hope you enjoy A Word For Wednesday. Thank you for joining us today.

A Word For Wednesday - The Man Who Does Nothing

It is time again for A Word For Wednesday. This morning, I am posting A Word for Wednesday on our YouTube Channel. Please give it a listen and leave us a comment here or on YouTube.

The Man Who Does Nothing

Matthew 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

 25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

 26  His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

 27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

 28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

 29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

 30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

God help us to be found doing something in the kingdom of God. Woe unto the man that does nothing!

Thank you for stopping in.

An Altitude Problem

There have been more than a few times in my life that I have had an attitude problem. My parents have adjusted my attitude, My friends and family have adjusted my attitude, My Pastor has adjusted my attitude. AND KJo has adjusted my attitude.

Thank God for people who will take a risk and pour truth into my life when I need to adjust my outlook!

I have not been suffering from attitude problems much lately, but I have been suffering from an altitude problem.

July 5th we left California and headed toward Colorado. That first night we parked in a rest area near 6000' elevation. I was huffing and puffing by the next morning as we were trying to get on the road. 

Most of the second day was spent driving up and down mountains and we spent that night at 5300'. KJo and I walked by the Colorado River in the evening and I could hardly make it.

5300' was our low point for the next day and over the course of the day we were over 10000' and then 12000' and later in the day over 12000' again.

On the fourth day, we drove to Colorado Springs which sits at about 6000'. We stayed there parts of four days and the second day went to the top of Pike's Peak above 14000'.

I had not felt good all week, but it did not dawn on me until several day into the high altitude that the very high elevations might be taking a toll on my oxygen saturation.

I took an oximeter with us to Pike's Peak and nearly fainted when I saw the number. Actually, I was about to faint no matter what! I will not tell you how low my O2 level was. Some of you will think I am lying and some of you will think I am dying.

KJo had thought to take my portable oxygen machine and I am happy that she did. 

I had not used it since December, but I used it while on the mountain and all the way back to the bus. I did not get my levels anywhere near normal until we got down to about 6500'.

Thursday while at 12000' I had a feeling like I had never had before. Two days later on Pike's Peak over 14000' I felt it again. I never want to feel that way again. I may move to sea level!

Evidently, my lungs or heart or something is still distressed by the long term effects of Covid. Altitude has never treated me bad like that. 

Two nights ago we finally slept at 1800' and I woke up feeling great AND my oxygen level was back in the 90s. Much, much better!

I am praising God that I am better than I used to be and I am asking God to complete the work!

Thank you for stopping by.

Grace In An Unexpected Place

Jeremiah 31:2 Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

In the middle of the wilderness fleeing from the sword, Israel found grace in an unexpected place!

In the midst of difficulties of all kinds, you and I can find grace in an unexpected place. You may be run smack into the wilderness while escaping the sword, but God will meet you there with grace!

Amos 6:1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion...
