Way to go Bahamas!!!*

Every now and then I watch "The View" because it helps me wake up and I don't have cable.

Rosie O'Donnell has been strongly speaking out against Christians and even against President Bush.

Yesterday I turned it on for a little bit. Rosie was angry and spoke out against the 80 churches in the Bahamas that were against her and did not support the special cruise that Rosie puts together. This once a year Cruise is geared toward the gay family lifestyle. The 80 churches didn't want her Cruise to stop at the Bahamas...and they won!!!
I thought that was awesome.

I believe that a homosexual lifestyle is sinful, not to mention gross. I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman. (not a man with another man - or- a woman with another woman). This generation is getting worse. If a daughter has 2 mothers, than she grows up and decides she likes that lifestyle and has a woman partner also, does that mean her children will have 2 mothers, 4 grandmothers, and 8 great grandmas and so forth...

Where does the opposite sex come into the picture besides producing more children? What is happening to family values? We can't just say it's a part of life. Is our future going to be that they say that {the perfect family portrait is with 2 mothers and children -or-2 fathers with children...}?

We are living in sad times. It is starting to sound like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah...

Way to go Bahamas!!! Thanks for standing up for the church and for the true family.

Focusing On God*

1. Remember the God you serve (remember God's power and promises) Read 2 Chronicles 20:1-4
"...O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not the God who is in heaven? You rule overall the kingdom of the nations. Power and might are in your hand, and no one can withstand you..."

2. Take an eyes open look at your situation.
Look at your inability to fight the battle on your own and realize that you may have enemies.

3. Focus on God
"WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT OUR EYES ARE UPON YOU."
(2 Chronicles 20:12b)

4. He Waits (meaning "you wait before God")
Even the men of Judah...STOOD BEFORE THE LORD" 2 Chronicles 20:13

5. Watch for God's Plan by listening for His voice and leading with worship. (read 2 Chronicles 20:14-21)
**"Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel-as he stood in the assembly...YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO FIGHT THIS BATTLE. Take up your positions; STAND FIRM AND SEE THE DELIVERANCE THE LORD WILL GIVE YOU, O Judah and Jerusalem. DO NOT BE AFRAID, DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED. GO OUT TO FACE THEM TOMORROW, AND THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU."

"...Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful. After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER."

6. Enjoy God's victory. God's victories are bigger, better, and they last.
"...The fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard how the Lord had fought against the enemies of Israel. And the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, FOR HIS GOD HAD GIVEN HIM REST ON EVERY SIDE."


REMEMBER -THE BATTLE- BELONGS TO GOD, NOT US...SO ALLOW GOD TO HELP YOU...

 Sermon Notes from April 22

What is Faith???*

"Without FAITH it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Hebrews 11:6

1) Faith is Believing when I don't see it. 
In Hebrews 11:1, it says "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." 
IT'S ONLY A DREAM UNTIL YOU BELIEVE. FAITH TURNS DREAMS INTO REALITY.

2) Faith is Obeying when I don't understand it. 
(read Hebrews 11:7-8) 

3) Faith is Giving when I don't have it (read Hebrews 11:4 & 2 Corinthians 9:6,8)

4) Faith is Persisting when I don't feel like it.
(do things you don't feel like doing)...Read Hebrews 11:27

5) Faith is Thanking God before I receive it.
(KEEP YOUR EYES ON GOD)
"When you pray and ask for something, believe that you have received it and you will be given what you ask for." 
-Mark 11:24

6) Faith is Trusting even if I don't get it.
"They were all commended for their faith yet none of them received what had been promised. 
GOD HAD PLANNED SOMETHING BETTER" Hebrews 11:39-40

"FAITH COMES FROM HEARING THE WORD OF GOD" - ROMANS 10:17
(READ THE BIBLE TO GROW IN FAITH)

"These trials are only to test your faith...and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold...it will bring you much praise and honor on the day of his return" -1 Peter 1:7
