Greetings to one and all:
Here in Georgia anyway, winter has about passed...we therefore are now looking forward to some of those beautiful days, with much sunshine. Of course, I know this may mean little to some, who may be reading this.
I've posted on here a number of times, but each time I do, I don't really know where the blog will end up at. I know that with some who have more experience with blogging this is not the case. Oh!! Well!! I'll learn in time I'd suppose anyway.
So, I'll say a little about myself, just in case you've never read my original blog.
I'm an ordained minister and a full time writer. I have two books published and one which I yet have a bit of editing to do before sending it to the publisher.
Though, the books that I have written so far lean heavily toward Christianity, even so, it is not as though I'm trying to rewrite the Bible, for as we all know that book has already been written, many years ago. Even so, you will not find anything within any of my books that is none scriptural. Saying this, I'm referring to the scriptural part of my books. I do use much imagination in the writing of them though, even so, the scriptural is strictly scriptural. I also usually include some of the Bible just as it is written.
However, I think that I'm getting away from the main issue here: that is: talking about our Lord, and Savior, Jesus, the Christ. In comparison to a conversation about Jesus, everything takes second place, even if that close. Here is hoping your feelings are the same. That is: that your love for our Lord holds top priority within your life. For as we know the Bible says: that it would be better for us that we be either hot or cold...for if we're only luke warm He'll then just spew us out of His mouth. Of course meaning: luke warm will just not get the job done. Luke warm will never get a person inside those home gates.
Why He said: it is better that you be hot of cold: If your hot then you're in with both feet. Or you've made up your mind to serve Jesus come what may...your in for the full duration.
If, however, your Cold, you don't really even have your big toe in, though, you may go to church. If you do go to church, its probably because your wife/husband goes and you go to appease them. You're not going because you have any interest yourself.
In which case it's better to quit pretending and get out into spiritual darkness, and get kicked around a bit, by the prince of darkness. For this will give you a full experience of what hell is going to be like. Also it enlighten you as to what your chosen master (the prince of darkness)is like. This way you may have time to make a wise choice before that final day. That day when you have the words to come to you...the words saying: for you, time shall be no more.
There is no middle ground: that's why Jesus said be either hot or cold, for if you chose a middle ground (only being warm) He will spew you out of his mouth. All of us, as human being, serve one or the other as master. Some are totally sold on the thought that they're their own man or own woman, in the winding up of all things they will learn that they are not and that they never have been. They'll learn that they did have a master in the spiritual realm. So, just hope that you've chose the right one.
Much love, your brother in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:21-24 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

The eternal dwelling place of the soul
Greetings to one and all in that mighty name of our Lord, and Savior, Jesus, the Christ, the "Anointed One".
In writing this post I know there's many through out the entire world, of whose mind dwells, or at least mildly ponders this subject quite often. With some, even having dreams about such at times as well.
Many also would like to find a person/person's, of whom would be able to prove to them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this to actually exist. Not being able to do that, their next hope would be, someone who could prove this to be only a myth, or false hope's on some people's part.
I, myself, am a fulltime writer and an ordained minister. I've also spent many years trusting in the Bible and its teachings. I've also spent about ten years as sending out a Bible Study on the internet. What I'm saying here is: I'm no novice by no means, in fact, I'm well qualified to speak on this subject. For down through the years I've been well rooted and grounded in the Word of God..
Thomas, who has down through time been know by Bible believers as doubting Tomas was only convinced Jesus to have been truly the one who was crucified and resurrected, after Jesus let him feel the nail prints within his hands.
Jesus said unto them: blessed are they who see and then believe, but greater blessings rest upon them who have not seen and still believe. There were many signs shown to those that lived within Jesus’ day. Seeing is not always believing as we all know.
Sure God could roll back the heavens and enable all to see the mighty works of his hands or the home of the departed soul’s who have put their trust in him.
We live within a day and time now wherein there are all kinds of filtering systems. Why do we need or even want such around. There’s just many things we want to be private. There are things as well that we don’t want to share even with our closest friend. Also we want our water system well filtered in a good many city’s and our computer has filtering systems, to keep out the undesired and let that which is desired flow freely.
There’s an old gospel song that goes something like this: if you want to go to heaven you must come in by the door. That door my friend is Jesus. Not only the knowing about him, but being strongly bonded together with him. That bonding glue is faith. The Bible says: they that come to him must believe that He is: and that he is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
So you see: believing: is the filtering system used by our Almighty God. Yes, Jesus is the door true enough…but it’s faith that unlocks the door. How do we get faith if we don’t have it? The Bible lets us know: Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Here’s hoping that all who read these few words become determined to press in and get the necessary faith to trust him and serve him as led by His Spirit.
Much love, your brother in Christ Jesus.
