You know the story of the Prodigal Son. That’s the young man that wanted his inheritance early, before dad died, and then moved away and wasted it all.
After a bout with some of the filthiest work imaginable Continue reading
Anger
Don’t give place to the devil.
The other day I saw where someone said Facebook was of the devil and they were leaving it.
Of course Facebook is of the devil. Continue reading
His Anger
Do you ever feel like God is angry with you? Like you can’t do anything right?
Though God can be a God of anger, it is aimed specifically.
When God told Abraham of His intentions toward Sodom and Gommorah, Abraham began to plead for the cities.
Would God destroy everyone if fifty righteous people could be found? Then forty?
It was here that Abraham said something that seems strange to me.
Gen 18:30 “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there?”
Why would the Lord be angry at someone for interceding for them – even the exceedingly wicked (Gen 13:13) people of Sodom.
God’s anger is not directed toward good. It is directed at sin.
His anger is not against…
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Gal 5:22-23
His anger is not because of prayer and intercession. His anger is not at preaching the Gospel. He is not angry at praise and worship.
He is not angry with those that seek Him with their whole heart.
Abba, though I deserve Your fullest wrath, I am so thankful that You are not angry with me in Jesus name. YES&AMEN
Slow Down!
Want to be more like Jesus? Scripture is the key!
Take Psalm 145:8 for an example. It says, “The Lord is merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.” Continue reading
That’s What It Says!
Matt 5:30 – It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
Last night Haylee & Braeden took turns reading from Matthew chapter 5.
Braeden ended up with 5:27-30. When he reached the end and read the word “hell” Continue reading
Hatfield’s and McCoy’s – Anger and Hatred
This was not the biggest feud in American history; nor the bloodiest or longest running feud, but it is the one with the most notoriety.
It is the one feud that most everyone has heard about, if in no other way, by name – the Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. Continue reading
The Control of Anger
People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord. Prov 19:3
Last night Linda read me a really ignorant Facebook status comparing religion to something that utterly made no sense.
The person that made the comparison is angry at God about the things that have happened in their life. Continue reading
Why Us?

Morning thoughts from Pastor Tim |

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. |

Linda and I were talking about why our church seems to be hated so much.
Our first year in the new sanctuary got us 7 broken windows on one side of the church.
There was glass scattered over an area of 2500 square feet.
We have been robbed on five different occasions. Continue reading
