Be Thankul Unto God

THIS IS OUR WORLD TODAY

 2 Timothy 3:1-9

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

It is more important than ever for God’s People to give public praise to God before the heathen:

1 Chronicles 16:24-25

Declare his glory among the heathen;

his marvellous works among all nations.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised:

he also is to be feared above all gods.

 "I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS"

 "I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS"

I have found that I am using the words above or their type more often now than ever before. I am thankful that I am a survivor and these words are not being spoken over my passing. I am getting tired of all these people dying around me though. I hate death and consider it an enemy, even though it has no lasting victory over a Christian Believer. I still hate death and what it does to good people.  In this season of almost everyone's passing being blamed on Covid, we know that the numbers prove no more are dying this year than in previous years. Then why is our perception changed to where is seems like death is everywhere?  Could it be due to the death count being reported with greater frequency? Perhaps. I do know that death is part of the human experience and few are able to escape its eventuality (Enoch and Elijah). So as I often say, "if you live long enough, you will die". The question is when, how and what then? We have little control over the when and how, but we can prepare for the "what then?" Every time we speak words of condolences to someone's passing, we should be reminded to get our own house in order. It amazes me how many people do not. One of these days either my number or yours will come up. Are we prepared? What we do now will affect our hereafter. It is the truth and we cannot escape. So here is the deal: Repent and Believe on the Name of Jesus Christ for your salvation. Declare openly and loudly that Jesus is now Lord of your life (owner and ruler) and you will be safe in the hereafter. Making Jesus Lord of your life is how you take care of this important matter. Just do it!!! You cannot stop death, but you can out smart it and live beyond the effect of dying.

"I know they are in a better place". Let that be words that people can confidently and truthfully say when you have passed away. have found that I am using the words above or their type more often now than ever before.

 Aaron and Stephanie Thomason just celebrated their 17th Wedding Anniversary on Saturday, August 14th. I remember back to that special day in Amarillo, Texas. It was epic for us all. The addition of Stephanie to our family has been such a wonderful blessing to us! She is pert near perfect! We love her personality, smile, character, spirit, and determination. She has been a great wife, mother and daughter in love.  Praise to Jesus and Randy & Tammy Voight for their contributions. We love Aaron and clearly, so does God! Happy Anniversary y'all!

Here we go!

 My heart is heavy as I see what is happening to my home country. A once united and strong nation standing under God’s grace has now largely departed from the vision of our founding fathers. We have forsaken the guiding principles that made this nation great and prosperous. We have allowed evil godless people to hijack our country. They seek to destroy the foundations and build something ugly in its place. God cannot and will not stand idly by. He has to answer their defiance. Judgment is coming! Those of us who stand with God will witness horrible things. We must be ready to administer saving grace to all who turn to God in these days ahead. It will not be easy or safe. Our time of being smiled on by our government leaders ended. Now we are targeted as the enemies of their agenda and they desire to eliminate us. God will preserve  us and His judgments are not for us but we will witness some hard stuff. Our joy will be in the harvest of many souls during a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the End Time Harvest. We are there! Stand firm. Be strong. Hold the Line!

Ruth's Birthday January 6th

Ruth turns 65 today.  She is so excited about being 65! She gets to go on Medicare. This means she can be a Silver Sneaker at the Health Club and go work out for free! She can also get regular check ups and find out how healthy she really is, etc etc.  Her positive attitude and happy approach to life is one of the many things I love about her. It is amazing how quickly she entered my life 12 years ago and how deeply addicted I am to her.  Her smile, her laughter, her approach to everything being all out, all in, and all energy. She loves me (that's the main thing, right?). She keeps me looking younger than I really am (ears, eyebrows, etc.) and won't let me brush my hair straight back.  She compliments me when I do good and gives me you-know-what when I mess up. I think she tells me that she loves me 15 or 20 times a day. She is hard working, hard playing, and pushes me hard too.  I think that if she had not of come along when she did, I might be dead by now. God knew what I needed and gave me a wonderful, powerful, loving wife for my latter years. I am so grateful for this special gift! I pray that today will be a truly happy birthday for Cynthia Ruth Thomason!!!
