Tuesday

Well we were very blessed today with the help of Dave from Hiesler Alberta that is going to spend the week working with James on the building.

Also today Dan and Tera Sears and Jesse and Michayla along with their friend came out and we got a swack load of work done on the concrete Tower and the East end of the shop is all sidded and looks great.

It's such a blessing when God sends the right people at the right time he for the right jobs to get done.

We look forward to seeing you when ever you are in the area. Please stop in for a visit.

“God never answers prayers.” That’s something that you have said or have heard someone say it. Many people go to church every sunday, they pray and worship, crying out to God. They go to the altar spending time with God, some might say, “I have prayed for 9 years every day for my husband to know Christ, and I know that someday God will show him the Way.” But, the question is, why doesn’t God answer their prayers. I mean, if they go to church, pray and worship they should receive something from God, right? Well, not really.

Let’s go to the Bible this time.

“The Lord detest the thoughts of the wicked, but those of the pure are pleasing to him.”

Proverbs 15:26

Here is two things I want us to think about from this. First of all, God knows what we think and it matters to Him. My dad once told me that he doesn’t do anything bad anymore. Sinning is not just doing something, but also thinking something. And that’s reflected in this verse. God detest when you look at a girl or boy thinking something bad or things like that. But he is pleased with those who have a pure mind. Another thing I can get out of this verse is that one can have a pure mind. We have been thought that we are not perfect, never will and that we have to tell God to forgive us every night. The truth is that we can have a pure mind. The Bible also tells us to be holy and perfect just as our father is holy and perfect. I mean, think about it. If God can’t be near the wicked, and we always sin, then He will never be able to be close to us. Of course, God is always merciful and abounding in love, and He will always forgive you, but that doesn’t mean that you need to keep on sinning. God doesn’t make you sin, you have the choice to sin or not.

“The Lord is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.”

Proverbs 15:29

Bingo! Ok, let’s make this simple. If you sin and have a wicked mind or heart God can’t be close to you. If you have a righteous mind and heart, always wanting to do good, God will be so close to you that he will hear your prayers. Simple right? Yeah, but hard too. Being righteous in everything is not easy, their is always a battle between the Spirit and the flesh. Its never easy to do what is right, but is worth it. There is no better feeling other than feeling Jesus in your heart and to see how God answered your prayer specifically how you asked Him to!

“When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen”

Isaiah 1:15

“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-when you see the naked to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.”

Isaiah 58:6-9

To summarize everything in just one small sentence. Love God and love your neighbor and God will be with you everywhere you go and when you call upon Him he will answer you. I guess I can’t put it more simple. Just go out there and start making a difference in this world. Don’t worry about what people might say, but worry about what God will say in the day of judgement. Love every single person on this earth and try to help as much as you can, and you will see that God will start answering your prayers and you will join the club of the happiest people on earth!

Luke Warm People

Lukewarm people gauge their morality or "goodness" by comparing themselves to the secular world. They feel satisfied that as they aren't as hard core for Jesus as so and so, they are no where as horrible as the guy down the street.
