Still Called To Holiness

HOLINESS is what we are. It's who we are. We LIVE a life of sanctification. (Set apart from the world.) We don't TALK like the world or ACT like the world. We are CHRISTIANS.

• We DO NOT use the initials "mf" in our conversation, posts, etc. We are CHRISTIANS.

• We DO NOT cuss. We are Christians.

• We DO NOT pose for pictures with our middle finger up, while trying to add God's name to our posts. This is vulgar & nasty.

• We must teach our young people that they DO NOT travel overnight together and share a bed. This is called FORNICATION. It is a SIN, and it will send you to HELL. It is UNACCEPTABLE.

• We must SAVE these young adults who have left HOLINESS and are living in SIN...doing what they think is RIGHT in their own eyes.

• We DO NOT "like" people's posts that contain nudity, vulgarity & obvious innuendos that are unCHRISTlike. We do not SUPPORT fornication, vulgarity or worldliness.

WE ARE CHRISTIANS. We follow the SCRIPTURES.

We are not JUDGING people...the WORD has already JUDGED each of us by our FRUIT. Our opinion or interpretation doesn't matter...ONLY THE SCRIPTURES.

God help us raise people into HOLINESS & teach the TRUTH. God HELP US!

As your pastor...It is my obligation & desire to train you up in the TRUTH of The Word. But sadly, we are dealing with entire generations that have compromised, thus their children have grown up in a "learned" lifestyle where SIN is ACCEPTABLE.

If Pastors refuse to PREACH, no matter how unpopular it makes them, we will continue in a downward spiral of sin.

BUT NOT ON MY WATCH. I GRIEVE when I see this junk. It's an abomination to our Lord. GOD HELP US REGAIN OUR GODLY FEAR!

I'm not perfect...and neither are you....but WE must FORSAKE sin and return to HOLINESS.

Love you very much.

Romans 10:14 "How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?"

Don't Even Think About Quitting

Five Things For Monday

1. Over time, I've learned that those who aren't willing to look for SOLUTIONS become aggravated with ANSWERS. After all, if they didn't have something to COMPLAIN about they wouldn't have anything to post on social media.

2. Your TAILOR-MADE problem can't be fixed with an OFF-THE-RACK solution. You need a mentor, with enough wisdom, to FIT you with a seamless strategy.

3. "I can't, it won't work, there's no way, I'm too broke, it's impossible, it's not fair & it's too hard..." aren't SOLUTIONS. Change your VOCABULARY to receive an EXTRAORDINARY answer!

4. You'll exhaust your energy providing SOLUTIONS to a person that needs the PROBLEM so they can have something to complain about.

5. You don't have to beg God to SOLVE your problems, the SOLUTION has already been supplied - Hebrew 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Don't Let The Devil Mute You In The Manger

Are You A Loving Leader?

Dear Pastor

To ANYONE serving in PASTORAL MINISTRY today...Jesus was betrayed by Judas...but when the guards came to take Him...He asked for the release of His disciples. John 18:9 "He did this to fulfill his own statement: “I did not lose a single one of those you have given me.”
DEAR PASTOR...

• The sheep belong to Jesus. Your heart may break when they fall away & get tangled up in the cares of this world...but remember...they belong to Him not you.

• You can only lead people that are willing to be led.

• You are not called to everyone.

• Pour your energy into those who's hearts are teachable. You'll exhaust yourself & die an early death stressing over stubborn people.

• Take as many with you as possible...on the journey. Provide for them teaching/guidance/Biblical truth...but leave the results up to God.

• You're not called to defend the truth...just present the truth. The truth will defend itself.

• Stay in your lane. Fulfill the vision God entrusted to you. Stay out of other people's business.

• Remember...if someone comes to you bad mouthing their previous church/pastor, it won't be long till they're saying the same thing to someone else about you. (Even Jesus can't pastor some people...and their boatload of dysfunction.)

• Never stop loving people. Stay in the Word & in Prayer. Preach what God tells you to say...not what's culturally crowd pleasing.

• Walk in LOVE.

• For every one JUDAS...God will give you ten JOHN'S!

• Never pay someone to disrespect you when you can get that for free.

• Remain in FAITH. God called you...He will take care of you.

• Get out of the fishbowl of small mindedness & set your sails for the ocean of GRAND HORIZONS!

• FORGIVE those who have hurt you. Sure, you'll never be able to tell all you know...but you don't have to. Lean on the side of mercy & God will bless you for it. You'll see. :)

Don't quit Pastors! Your best days are ahead of you!
Love you much!

Leadership & Timing

Who Speaks For You?

Five Things For Wednesday

1. Good morning! Let's be PRODUCTIVE & PURPOSEFUL today!

2. You can't keep saying "I hate this job" & expect to be creative & productive in it...or fulfilled by it. SPEAK LIFE over it.

3. With God fruitfulness is not optional. He expects us to BE productive with what He's given us. (John 15:8)

4. Rethink DELAYS. You're not losing time. Your schedule was adjusted. Don't be frustrated. Be productive with that extra time.

5. When you see the people on your TEAM as partners, you will be twice as productive with half the effort!

Choose Boldness Not Fear!
