A while back I visited a neighbor and as we were talking right out of the blue he said " you know I'm not a religious man but this world is in a real mess and the bible is right about the trouble we are in, don't you think?" I told him good thing your not religious or you would never see the situation that we are in. I some times wonder who invented religion, cause if they did it to distract us from what God calls us to be it has worked real well. If God has called you to a cause do it with all your heart and strength and most of all do not be distracted. As Joey and I headed out to the ranch early this morning we had a great talk about purpose and God will for our lives. We are so blessed to have children that love the Lord with all their hearts and we can talk openly about the purpose and goodness of God in all our lives. What a blessing to have our family to stand by us as we work to accomplish God's purpose in building His Kingdom. Zelda and Durantt showed up this morning also and a lot got done with their help. And then Peggy showed up and prepared a banquet for us as usual. This afternoon Jack from Kindersley arrived and finished a lot of the work that needed to be done on the new approach, soon it will be ready to be used .Chris anb Caled came out for the afternoon and together we got our todo list accomplished P.T.L.
We are all called to make a differance in a way that others will be blessed and God will be excited, and if we spend time with the author of blessing we will always realize that the sooner we can give it all away the sooner we will truly know what Jesus was talking about. Until we are ready to give it all right now or at any moment, no matter the consequences that we see may happen, we will never know the the fullness of blessing God has in store for for each and every one of us in this walk of faith.
The book I'm reading right now is by an exciting author Francis Chain and he says "LUKEWARM PEOPLE are moved by stories about people who do radical things for Christ, yet they themselves do not act. They assume such action is for "extreme" Christians, not average mature Christians. Lukewarm people call "radical" what Jesus expected of all His followers.
James 1:22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says".
James 4:17
"Anyone, then, knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins.
Miracle of the day.
After weeks of Diane manually turning the timer on our dishwasher to do our dishes we came home today from the ranch and on our step was a dishwasher, and not some cheap bottom of the line dishwasher, this is one deluxe machine and my wife is back to her happy self again. God is so good all the time. His blessing never cease.
Thank you once again for taking the time to view our blog.The Battle River Ranch Camp is a non profit organization that is focused on developing trades, life skills and training opportunities for men and women that are searching and find it difficult to get the opportunities needed to develop a productive life skill. Many men and women today have no idea what they could be good at or how to find out their possible skill area or level. We are a faith based training center. Harold and Diane Stephan left a life filled with addictions and bad choices. Their journey has taken them through different twelve step programs and life recovery through a relationship and healing process with Jesus Christ. If it were not for caring people in their lives that never gave up on them or thought they were a hopeless cause they too would still be lost. Today they have been married for over 34 years and are blessed to have six wonderful children , many already married and raising strong families as they also seek to honor God with their lives and families. We would love to hear from you and if you feel this is a program and facility that would help you or someone that you know, or you would like to be more involved with a ministry like this or support it financially we would love to talk to you and would very much appreciate your help in what ever way you can. This is a ministry for those that have a heart and desire to make a difference in the lives of others with the skills and gifts they have been blessed with and have a desire to pass on what they know to the next generation. You are always welcome to visit and we look forward to your input. This ministry is prayer based, and we pray daily for the needs of others, if you have a need for prayer and not sure where to start give us a call and we will confidentially support and help you in this area. You may not know a lot about God or very little, but God knows everything about you and He loves you more than anyone can or ever will. God Bless You and Your Family!!!
