From the Great Preacher Man Adrian Rogers:

May I ask you a personal question? Do you believe that Jesus Christ is Lord? If your answer is yes, then may I ask you another question? Is He your Lord?

Let’s be more specific.

  • Is He Lord of your tongue?
  • Is He Lord of your time?
  • Is He Lord of your treasure?
  • Is He Lord of your talents?
  • Is He Lord of your testimony?
  • Is He Lord in deed as well as in word?

Is He truly Lord?

ACTION POINT

Don’t answer too quickly. Think about it. It’s one thing to sing “Bring forth the royal diadem and crown Him Lord of all.” It’s another thing to mean it. Crown Him “Lord of all” in your life today.

Plenty of news from New Mexico today. Governor Michelle Lujan is not going to be in Biden’s Cabinet. The California Attorney General got the post of Health and Human Services Department. The Governor is looking at rationing care at New Mexico hospitals as COVID cases spike, daily cases are however dropping, PTL! The New Mexico GOP is going to elect a Chairman. Eddy Aragon of ‘Rock of Talk’ radio in Albuquerque is one of those running against the present Chairman Steve Pearce. I have to say that I have not heard from but a few people who are pleased with Pearce’s performance as Chairman of the GOP.

“We Must All Hang Together, or Most Assuredly, We Will All Hang Separately” Benjamin Franklin made this statement at the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. He was of course referring to the need for the signers, and the states they represented, to stick together against a common enemy, Great Britain.

I surely encourage you all to subscribe to the ABQ Journal. We have since we moved here in 1995. At that time Albuquerque had two daily’s. I am so very thankful for the coverage of New Mexico news. This morning the Journal covers the ‘Unseen Toll of the Pandemic, a growing number dying of Alzheimer’s and other diseases. Plus they take a look at the huger problem of hunger in New Mexico. The Food Bank in Reserve, New Mexico has been serving more and more people.

“if you don’t have God fully in your heart and if He is not first in your life, you have no life at all, your living for yourself.” Pastor Dewy Moede

The very sad thing about this crisis in America is it has been made political, and so very many people are blinded by their politics. I have said for years many Americans were making politics a god! Shame. For heaven’s sake we are in the worst crisis America has had since the Great Depression. Politicians have failed us. Politics has buried us. I beleive this is what the history books will show future generations about us. Political turmoil, division, no unity! So many are blinded to the ways of God.

While Americans fight over masks, the Country goes to hell. Deaths, Hunger, Economic failure, (Many Americans do not even pay attention to the Federal Deficit, we are so in the red it is horrible, we are all now living on monopoly money! U.S. Debt Clock) people losing their careers, our son’s industry never has fully opened again, people losing their businesses, raising havoc with our children’s education and more and more devastation. One of the very weird deals here with the shutdown in New Mexico is that the UNM LOBOS are practicing and playing out of state!!!???? How much is that costing the tax payers!!!!! It is enough to make your head spin! Also having elderly folks stand outside in line at grocery stores during this cold weather! How horrible! Ugh!

It seems to this old news reporter and Pastor that America has become such a very selfish Country, so many EGOS! ME FIRST!!!  So many blinded to the ways of God. It is a treasure when I meet unselfish people like First Responders….they just do what it takes.

My Podcast: JESUS! Not politics

Joni Eareckson Tada posted this today:

Theodore Roosevelt once said, “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcomings…Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” Success isn’t the key. Faithfulness is. May you be faithful to God until you hear him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Success isn’t the key. Faithfulness is. May you be faithful to God until you hear him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Father God, teach me to be faithful to the tasks you assign to me, without concern for fanfare.

Careful with your words, It doesn’t matter how you may feel about COVID

I so much love this message by my Dear Friend Pastor Andre of Albuquerque Revival Church! I have come to love this man of God. I posted on this same theme yesterday and got burned at the stake by Christians. WOW!
 
There are people that are HURTING because they have lost love ones.
They don’t need our conspiracy theories right now. They need your support. Read of a situation today and couldn’t believe the comments I read.
This WILL NOT be a place to argue with your comments. It is meant for you to reflect on how we interact with people.
Proverbs 15:23 “Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!”
Thank you Pastor! Merry Christmas to you and your lovely wife and family and congregation.

PASSION! You can either use it to build up people or tear them down! Way too many so called Christians are doing the tearing down of others!
I have never seen a time when I have seen so much hate spewed out by Christians to a very hurting world. So many Christians are showing an unbeleiving world just what it wants to see from Christians, as many suffer and die.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
 
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
John 13:34-35
Please pray I just got a text from our friend Steph, she is in the ER and has COVID and his scared she does not want to be there. She is having horrible chest pain and it is hard for her to breathe. People of God we must come together and pray for all those that have COVID and thier families and all Doctors and Nurses and first responders. If you are home and in your own bed tonight you are very fortunate. It’s beyond time that we come together as the Church! I have many on my sick list! I’m thankful that people reach out for prayer so that we love them and pray for them! I feel bad for people that make this a political or conspiracy issue rather than a issue of people that are sick and many die. I’ve never seen such bad behavior by many Christians! Put yourself in the shoes of families that have lost loved ones. I’m sick and tired of people down playing COVID. If you want to criticize me just Unfriend me.
