Here we are going into all Saints day, now Halloween tomorrow and our world is in need of help. Who do we turn to is the question and I trust all reading this are putting their faith in the Lord. We have seen this week and employee at Home Depot getting fired for having a pin on his apron that was Christian in nature. We are seeing truth become a lie in many areas and wonder the reason for people suffering depression and fear of the future. Then we saw the new cruise ship in Miami called Oasis of the Sea, holding 6,300 passenger, 2,100 employees, 2,700 cabins, 16 decks all costing 1.5 billion dollars, deluxe in every area. Built by STX Europe’s Shipyard is Lurku, Finland. Then to top it off Nancy Pelosi unveils the House Health Care Package of 894 Billion, which is going to be over looked by the Government. How much more is the Government going to take over is a question remaining to be seen? Are we beginning to see the beginning of the end of freedom in the United States of America? Now back to Hebrews 11:13 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob all died, but had faith in the Lord till death. They were not able to see beyond their years, to see the tremendous number of descendants. They look forward to what was ahead of them as they enjoyed heaven their permanent home. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. It is still the hope of the Christian world that this world is going to pass away and we will either enter Heaven, or hell. It seems like today with all the history behind us, that serving the Lord brings more satisfaction and blessing upon blessing, regardless of who you are and how much money you may have. Nothing satisfies like knowing your sins are forgiven and you’re on you way out of the bondages of sins. 15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. Everyone can return to the ways of the world, or the way of sin if they so choose. No one has to follow the Lord. His followers want to follow Him, for he is the Way the Truth and the Life, that bring joy unspeakable and full of glory. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. Mankind desires more and more of the things of the world, like money, drugs, sex, gambling and doing it there way, not Gods way. The Church is always desiring more and more of the Spirit of the Lord, to have that blessing to achieve there potential. No one can have joy apart from knowing the Lord. Money can not buy joy, nor can drugs or sex, we need to seek the Lords will to have peace and be blessed beyond measure. 17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. No one was tested more than Abraham concerning his faith. He left his home land and journeyed to where the Lord lead him. He was given a promise of being the father of the human race of Gods people. He was told he would bear forth fruit, have children and every promise seemed to be on hold. But God never forgets and at 100 years of age the Angles of God told him Sarah was going to have a child, she laughed and so did he. But God gave them a son and he grew up to become a healthy young man and God told him to offer his son on an altar. Faith is seen as he walks with Isaac to the mountain and sees dad carry wood, but no sacrifice and fire. Dad where is the sacrifice, “God will supply” Faith in action. Here he is ready to put Isaac on the altar and take his knife and bringing it into his son’s chest and he hears a sound of a ram. God says Abraham ,your faith has been honored and now take the ram and offer it before your God. Now that is faith which is very hard to explain until you willing to sacrifice your all to the Lord. This was a real test, a real live account of what happened and no one can deny that is just like God. He alone can take someone that is nobody and make them somebody. Lord help my unbelief, so I can trust you for my next move, next experience as we move closer to your return. |

Just returned from a week at the beach with Ginny’s brother Dale Meshke, Sister Jan and her husband Don Kearby and Julia Rosenfelt, we had a most enjoyable time. Weather was excellent and we were able to play golf 3x’s out of the 5 days. The women shopped in Lincoln City and Pacific Beach and put puzzles together. It is great to be with family that loves the Lord and is wanting more of what He is wanting to give to us. We watched news and are seeing with everyone else what is happening to FOX for they are trying to tell the truth as much as possible. It is like someone does not want us to know the truth, it is not a man, it is the enemy Himself Satan. Lord help us to have faith in God for He is the only one that understand the working of the enemy. How much time do we have no one knows but God, may we be ready for His return. Now let’s note how Paul give us what happen to the men of faith in Hebrews 11:6 7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. No one has experience the degree of hardship as Noah, for it had not yet rained upon the earth. Here he is building a boat in the desert, which was insane. But God had a mission or a purpose for preparing an ark. The Church is the ark the Lord wants us to assemble in and what do we see? Many people careless and are going to do what they want, not what God wants. That is one of the reason we need to work at our salvation, so we do not miss the mark. It is always sad to see people, addicted to anything that causes pain and hard ache. What we have in front of us is faith, hope and love in the form of the Church, the Lord has ordained we assemble in. We have seen our immediate family three brothers and one sister; grow up in the Church as long as I can remember and now we are all seeing the hand of the Lord rest upon our children the first and second generations. To God be the glory for families that are in the ark of the covenant of God. The Lord is giving us plenty of signs, He is coming to rapture the Church from this world and we need to be prepared now, for now is the day of salvation. As your reading this your being spoken to by the Holy Spirit, so just let your faith begin to grow and become what the Lord has promised you and that is life abundantly and free. All we need to do is get aboard!
8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. Abraham showed he had faith by putting his trust in God and not looking at circumstances. How many times have we not known what was going to happen next, but we keep on believing, putting our life in the hands of the Lord. |

HE-BREWS 11:1-6 FAITH IN WHO? |

Faith in Who? We attended the Tea Party- one nation under God at the Convention Center in Yakima where over 400 were in attendance, Thursday night the 15th. I am proud to be called an American that put his trust in God. We heard what is the truth, our nation was founded on Christian principles and we have been blessed in the past. In order to continue to be blessed everyone has to understand there responsibility to God and then one another. We are seeing a break down in our Churches-Homes-Schools-Higher Educational Systems-Economic-Government-Health Care-Justice System and Religion. Now we are faced with crises in every area I mentioned to where no one seems to have the answers for we have lift out the most important person in our lives God. It is the truth God did create us in His image and that is the ability to make wise choices. The Church in America is facing persecution as never before because people are ignoring all the signs of an invading, humanistic, radical, liberal army that is determined to remove all images of Jesus and the traditional values, beliefs and morality under which we were founded as a Nation and prospered. This began in 1962 when the Supreme Court’s landmark decision involving Madaln Murray O’Hair instigated the removale of prayer from the public schools and with in the year removing of Bible reading in the Schools as well. Now paganism, humanism, a-morals bring immorality and the teaching of evolution is a fact in many schools. Now we look at new age as a way of life everything is ok and no one has the right to judge anyone for their behavior or attitude. Sad but many times true, for the United Nations is wrapped up in the same endeavors and we hear Nations that are controlled by Dictators given a plat form to spew out hate and bitterness to free loving democratic nations. As Christian we need to practice Matthew 28:18-20 of making disciples in all nations or we are going to be control by beastly governments. Judgment comes when we do not pay attention to basic laws that govern all men and even the animal kingdom. Look at what is happening to our new agencies only a few are telling the truth for we as a Nation over all do not want to know the truth but do our thing regardless of how bad we hurt one another. We are in love with wrong and people are bent toward destroying themselves and the people they love. Our nation is faced with defining Marriage trying to make sure it is destroyed. For Marriage is the back bone of life and with out it being sacred we are headed for disaster, that is going to destroy all mankind. That is the reason I feel strongly about Referendum 71 need to be rejected. No one should have the right to change the Laws of God, for when we do we are headed for trouble such as the United States has never seen. As a Christian Ginny and I have voted every years and taught our kids to vote as well as adults. We do make a difference and I hope that everyone reading this web site feels the same. United we stand when it is for the betterment of mankind and divided we are that do not have a purpose but to destroy life. We are seeing unrest in many areas of our society and people are beginning to lash out and say things they wished they had not said. We need help as Christians, to make sure it is not our will, but the Lords will, that we want done in our lives. The news coverage is questionable and causing many people to lose faith in the Government, and even in one another. Paul’s statement here in Hebrews 11 is very strong and we can’t escape the consequences of our behavior and attitude. Let’s make sure we know who we are? Where we are? Where we are headed and who it is that wants to stop us from being blessed? Chapter 11 1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Faith is a word that has more meaning than most words; Confidence-belief; to urge, be convinced; to persuade, 1. Un-questionable belief, that does not require proof or evidence; anything believed; complete trust, confidence, or reliance. Allegiance to some person, or thing; loyalty indeed; in faith. Substance-subsistence-something to stand on, or trust in. Faith in what is the question? Who is our creator? Who is in control of our world? Who do we place our faith in, Mankind or God? Do we trust the enemies of our souls, or God? Everyone has faith the size of mustard seed; which is the smallest of seeds. It grows into one of the biggest of trees, if cared for. The Bible is not just another book, it is the story of Gods, love to mankind. That is what allows us to live in one accord, with the person that designed us, giving us life.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. Notice those who have been walking in the ways of the Lord, have a testimony of their faith in God and His word. It is the faith we have within us, that causes us to be more like the image of God, who created us, or we automatically become more like the human person, or like things we have faith in. That is the reason so many religious people have faith in a man, or in something that is taking the place of God, never finding satisfaction. Through out history people have worshiped the strangest things, and it shows in the images people bow down before. We all have ancestors that we emulate, or have characteristic like. Look at peoples noses and you can many times tell what nationality they are. The color of skin is another way to tell what kind of race your apart of. Even the eyes tell what kind of nationality. Notice Adams name was not mention, but goes into the 3rd verse. |
