THE GREAT COMMISSION

 

 

Jesus gave us

The Great Commission

 

He said

Go and make disciples

 

Of all nations

 

The job

Is only part done

 

Are you

Going to accept Christ’s challenge

Are you

Going to

Help get it done

 

Are you going to do

All that you can

To get the job done                                        

 

Even if it is

Only bringing one person to God

That furthers Jesus’ purpose

And help gets the job done

 

The great commission is upon us

Let us begin to make disciples

Of all people

Of all nations

Beginning today

“……..so is MY WORD=That goes out from my mouth=It will NOT return to me empty=but

ONE MAN=that was CLAY=IN the great=the MASTER BUILDER’S HANDS=Was our Saint

For today=Saint Peter Chrysologus=Who let the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY=have his WAY with him=

He was known as=”GOLDEN WORDS”=For the way he DELIVERED his concise messages=The

IT'S IN THE MIND

 

 

 

 

 

 

July 30^th, 2012

 

 

IT’S IN THE MIND

 

The battle for a soul

Is in the mind

The battle for a soul

Is in the thought

That’s where the true battle

Is fought

Where the battle

Is won or lost

 

Once you rationalize

That it’s ok

That’s when you begin to act

Whatever it is

There is no turning back

 

But until it happens

A thought is just a thought

And you can turn the other way

 

The battle for a soul

Is in the mind

Ps        “Test me oh Lord and try me

             Examine my heart and my MIND

             For your love is ever before me

             And I walk continually in your truth”                            Psalm 26:2

 

            “Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God

             With all your heart and with all your soul

             And with all Your MIND”                                           Matthew 22:37

 

             “Do NOT conform any longer

               To the pattern of this world

               But be transformed by RENEWING of your MIND     Romans 12:2

 

GOD'S WISDOM=AND MAN'S FOOLISHNESS

 

 

 

 

 

 

GOD’S WISDOM=AND MAN’S FOOLISHNESS

 

Today=we get A LESSON FROM Jesus=from HIS WISDOM

Along with an instruction=GOD’S WISDOM is so much

FURTHER ALONG=than man’s foolishness

 

Today we SEE=how Jesus calls the fishermen=who are FISHING

And not catching anything=Jesus tells them=to give it=ONE MORE TRY

Can’t you just see=Peter ROLLING HIS EYES=and saying=”OK Jesus=

But we already tried”=as IF to humor Jesus+Peter and his 3 apostle

FISHERMEN=do give it one more try=and lo and BEHOLD=they CATCH

So many fish=the boat BEGINS to sink=It takes ALL of them

To bring the CATCH=into the boat=GOD’S WISDOM=and MAN’S 

FOOLISHNESS=”…….. the WISDOM of this world=is FOOLISHNESS=in the eyes

Of God……..”                                                                                                                                          1 Corinthians 3:19

 

The boat becomes SO FULL=that they begin to sink=and Peter falls                        

To his KNEES and says=”Go away from me Lord=for I am A SINFUL MAN”            Luke 5:8

Jesus simply says=”Don’t be afraid=from now on=you will FISH

FOR PEOPLE”                                                                                                                                                Luke 5:10

GOD’S WISDOM=AND MAN’S FOOLISHNESS=and isn’t that the way

IT is with us my friends=MY DEAR brothers and sister=WE think

We know better than God

 

We TRY AND TRY=to do things on our own=without the Lord=but

WHEN we get the Lord in our corner=and RELY on his strength=things

Begin to TURN our way=With The HOLY FATHER GOD and Jesus=

Things begin to happen=GOD’S WISDOM=and MAN’S FOOLISHNESS!

 

“God gave Solomon WISDOM=and very great insight=and a breadth of understanding

As measureless=as the sand on the seashore=SOLOMON’S WISDOM

Was greater than=THE WISDOM=of all the people of the EAST=and greater

Than all the Wisdom of Egypt”                                                                                                         1 Kings 4:29-30

 

“She speaks WITH WISDOM=and faithful instruction is on

Her tongue”                                                                                                                                           Proverbs 4:26

 

“But God made the earth=by his power=He founded the world

BY HIS WISDOM=and stretched out the heavens=by his understanding”                      Jeremiah 10:12

 

I WONDER=if Peter felt foolish=after Jesus taught hem=HOW to catch

So many fish=ALONG with Andrew-James-and John=did they FEEL
Foolish and “SINFUL” Like we sometimes do?=Their eyes were OPENED=

They began to UNDERSTAND=that Jesus was not just=a NORMAL MAN

He was FROM GOD=GOD’S WISDOM=and MAN’S FOOLISHNESS!

 

“But WISDOM is proved=right by her deeds”                                                                            Matthew 11:19

 

“And Jesus=grew IN WISDOM=and stature=and in favor

With God and man”                                                                                                                         Luke 2:52

 

“If any of you=lacks WISDOM=You should ask God=who

Gives generously to all=without finding fault=and it will be=GIVEN

TO YOU”                                                                                                                                                      James 1:5

 

I NEVER=wonder about the WISDOM of Jesus=or that of our

Holy Father God=They know BETTER=than you and me=They KNEW

BETTER=than the early apostles=and all the SAINTS down through history

 

Our God=our Jesus=ask us=to look at things differently=to take on

A NEW PERSPECTIVE=WE are a part of the world=But we are NEVER

Of the world=It is up to us=to LIVE OFF OF GOD’S WISDOM=

GOD’S WISDOM=not man’s wisdom

 

The Christian world view=MAY look illogical and RISKY=but it is

GOD’S WISDOM that prevails=it is GOD’S WISDOM=that dances

With joy=GOD’S WISDOM=not man’s wisdom!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=EVER LIVING=

EVER WISE=Holy Father God!

Ps        For the women of TODAY

            July 29^th-is the feast day of Saint Martha

 

            “As Jesus and his disciples were on their way

             He came to a village where a woman named Martha

             Opened her home to him

            

             She had a sister called Mary-who sat at the Lord’s feed

             Listening to what he said

             But Martha was distracted by all the preparations

             That had to be made

 

             She came to him and asked,

             “Lord-don’t you care that my sister has left me

              To do the work by herself

              TELL HER to help me!”

 

              “MARTHA-MARTHA”-the Lord answered

               You are worried and upset about many things

               But only ONE THING is needed

 

               Mary has chosen what is BETTER

               And it will NOT be taken away from her”                            Luke 38-42

         

BUILDING A LASTING LEGACY=OF FAITH

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUILDING A LASTING LEGACY=OF FAITH

 

THE MOST VALUABLE THING=we can Do=For another human being=Is to LEAD

Them to FAITH=In the HOLY FATHER GOD and Jesus=Faith in life=Does just NOT

MAGICALLY APPEAR=We have to HELP others find it=Develop it!=”Through ALL

GENERATIONS=We will declare your PRAISE”                                                                         Psalm 79:13

THE GREATEST LEGACY=we can EVER leave another human being=Is the

GIFT OF FAITH!=Faith in our Holy Father God=and HIS SON!

 

Often times=OUR FAITH in life=BEGINS at home=I had a FAITH-FILLED Father=Who

Was a lector=and READ on the altar=HE HAD FAITH!=And my MOTHER=While Not actively

Involved with the Church=Was a DEEP SPIRITUALLY FILLED WOMAN=Who prayed

Constantly=My parents named my sister Terri=After Saint Theresa =The LITTLE FLOWER=and

My sister Mary=After the BLESSED MOTHER Mary!=How is that=FOR FAITH?=Developing a LASTING LEGACY for God and Jesus=Through FAITH and Prayer!

“HAVE FAITH in God’=Jesus answered”                                                                                Mark 11:22

“When Jesus heard this=He was amazed at him=And turning to the crowd following him=

He said’=’I tell you=I have NOT found such=GREAT FAITH=Even in Israel’=Then the men=Who had been sent=Returned to the house=And found the servant well”                                         Luke 7:9

“I long=To see you=So that I may=Impart to you=Some Spiritual gift=To make you strong=-------

That is=That you and I=May be MUTUALLY ENCOURAGED=By each Other’s FAITH”   Romans 1:11-12

My friends=My dear BROTHERS AND SISTERS=Help others Find=and Develop along with

Their FAITH!=and Help them=BUILD A LASTING LEGACY =OF FAITH!

 

Regardless=Of HOW and WHEN our faith BEGINS=We must develop it FURTHER!=For it

To GROW in us=and so let the Holy SPIRIT OF GOD=Put you on FIRE=with faith=and SPREAD

Your FAITH to others=We must CULTIVATE our faith=and let the SPIRIT  OF GOD=Grow in us=

GROW OUR FAITH!=Build a LASTING  LEGACY of faith=and PASS your faith=On to others=

Other 21^st CENTURY APOSTLES=Of the Father=and His Son Jesus Christ!

“Therefore we=are always  confident=and  know that as long=We are at home=In the body=We

Are away from the Lord=For we LIVE BY FAITH=and not by sight”             2 Corinthians 5:6-7

“For it is by GRACE=You have been saved=THOUGH FAITH=--------and this is not from yourselves=

It is a GIFT from God--------NOT by works=so no one can boast”                       Ephesians 2:8-9

Not see”                                                                                                                                                             Hebrews 11:1

HOPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

JULY 28^th, 2012

                                                                                               

 

HOPE

 

Hope in life

Hope in death

Hope in anything

Hope in everything

Hope when there

Isn’t even any

 

Hope is believing

In what can’t be seen

Hope is hoping

When it’s impossible to believe

 

Hope is

Hoping that there will be a miracle

Hope is hoping

In what can’t be seen

 

Hope is believing in God

Hope is knowing that he is there

 

Sometimes

Hope is all we have

 

Sometimes

Hope is all we need

 

HOPE
