God’s Abundant Grace

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Phil 4:19)

The words Paul spoke to the Philipians were those of experience. I think of Moses when God handed him the task to lead His people Israel out of Egyptian bo***ge, his first response was of both fear and doubt, “Who am I that I should go,” and God responded back to him “certainly I shall be with thee.”Consoling words for sure, especially if years of experience were under Moses’ belt, but in reality he was just a babe in Christ even though he was 80 years into his calling with God toward being a seasoned leader, a new chapter of his life was at hand, full of unknowns and insecurities due to inexperiences. Being discombobulated with many uncertainties, Moses’ mind was flooded with various scenarios, he was in full panic mode at the thought of facing Pharaoh of Egypt. If they ask who sent me and what’s his name, what do I say? God replied say to them “I AM That I AM” sent you, even with this powerful statement he still faced a very daunting task, (Ex. 3:10-22) but in time Moses became the greatest leader known in the Bible.

In the Epistles to the Philippians Paul showed the maturity he’d gained since his earlier days of his conversion on the Damascus Road. Even though he immediately began preaching he had not arrived as the seasoned Apostle he would one day become. He spent three years studying the Torah, for to gain more knowledge of Christ so to gain content for his Epistles (Gal. 1). Like Moses, over a process of time, Paul’s confidence grew as well and blossoming into a beautiful doxologies of praise to God. Paul felt his life was worthy of imitation saying okay, you’ve watched and learned from me, you’ve received things from me, you’ve seen things in me, and you’ve heard me teach things, therefore you should live in such a way that people around you can see your growth in the Lord. (Phil. 4:9) Coupled with this, Paul discusses mature contentment, having plenty and being hungry, abundance and need he did not speak from theory but from personal hardship. (Phil. 4:11-12) His Epistles are a monologue of many trials and experiences during his life as an Apostle.

Admittedly so, life as a Christian is better in the light of having more knowledge gathered through life experiences, it’s like having a quiver full of deep meaningful adventures resulting in spiritual blessings and spiritual toughness. Paul ends (Phil 4:23) by saying the events in our Christian lives are a direct result of the Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that gives the abilities and powers to do all things through him, which strengthens us. (Phil 4:13 ). It’s God’s Grace that introduces us to Christ and it’s His Grace that leads us through our earthly journeys and it will be His Grace that leads us back to His arms once again.

“Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear, and Grace my fears relieved; How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed.”

Just Coincidence?
Ex. 2:1-10

“There are two great CERTAINTIES about things that shall come to pass. One is, that God knows and the other is, that we do not know.” Charles Spurgeon

Now just about everyone who is familiar with Asheville and vicinity knows what is meant by the terminology “Mal-function Junction.” It’s a main corridor where I-40 and I-26 meet, coming from and through Tennessee and South Carolina to get to destinations throughout the east coast, resulting in a traveler’s nightmare.

I’ve often said to the church,when studying the Bible history seems to come to a bottleneck from time to time, becoming so congested, leading one to think an imminent catastrophic event could happen, desolving God’s plan for mankind something if Supernatural doesn’t happen to resolve it. Ex 2:1-10 agrees also when times in biblical history show signs of bottlenecking, much like the example of the mal-function Juckion mentioned. At times throughout the Bible, God seems to have met his match, outside forces threatening His providential and powerful capabilities, holding Him like chains in captive, seemingly stripping His power, extinguishing him as if mortal, leaving him in dust.

The kings of the Old Testiment were jealous dictators and without a moment’s notice could send forth decrees of death to anyone who may deem a threat to their kingdom reign. Nero was one of the most infamous of Rome’s emperors. (AD. 37 to 68) Famously known for the apocryphal story that he fiddled while Rome burned in a great fire. But one thing for sure he was a no nonsense dictator, he killed his mother for meddling, murdered his first wife, killed his second wife by kicking her belly while she was pregnant, his brother-in-law fell victim as well and these are just a few who fell to his carnage.

The history of Joseph had faded into obscurity by the time a new king of Egypt appeared on the scene. (Ex. 1:8) Pharaoh feeling threatened by the Israelite’s growth and possible future dominance of power, he commanded their burdens to be doubled and more rigorous, making their lives more bitter, but while he imposed rigger they only became stronger. Therefore, in attemp to control the population and gain security he commanded the Hebrew midwives, to kill all males, but the Mid-Wives feared God rather than Pharaoh saving the sons particularly the child named Moses.

But the antics of the king continued. Moses had grown so that his mother could no longer hide him, (Ex. 2:3) so she built an Ark made of Bulrush, pitched it from within to prevent leakage and assure bouyancy, sent it forth into the river, while his sister looked on as she hoped for the best. The Ark ended up in the hands of Pharaoh’s daughter, who looked upon the baby, wept and had compassion on him. (Ex. 2:6) Moses’s sister insisted to pharaoh’s daughter that it would seem best to take the child to one of the the Hebrew women to nurse the child, she agreed saying “go” she took the child to his mother (Jochebed). Not only so, Pharaoh’s daughter made sure she was compensated for her child care and paid her accordingly and the child grew. What an act of God’s Providence displayed in this story.

I believe this story is neither happen chance nor coincidence, but exclusively providentially inspired by God. God is Sovereign, he possess supreme, ultimate power over all living things and controls all narratives. Therefore, Moses was raised up according to God’s Sovereign plan, becoming known as the greatest leader mentioned in the Bible. When Christ died on the cross for our sins, Christ fulfilled the typepolgy of Moses, becoming the encarnate Saviour who would draw and lead His people out of sin and bo***ge. Being dead in our treaspasses and sins only, He could turn the judgement of death into life for us, quickening us to life, by His Blood. No coincidence here, just simply providence on His behalf.

God Gets Believers From point A to point B

“Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.” (1 Pt 1:9)

Being a visionary has helped me better navigate through life. History is marked by great men and women who were visionaries. Louis Graille was a French educator and inventor, he was best known for inventing the system of reading and writing now known world wide as Braille. As a young boy Louis was blinded in an accident at his father’s woodshop, but his blindness became the catalyst that drove him to create a system of communication that improved and added worth for the lives of the blind throughout the world.

But you say, “visionaries are reserved for people like Louis, not for me, I’m an ordinary person with a less than exciting lifestyle.” Have you ever thought about within each of us lies the ability to be an innovator, a hidden gift from God? God made us in such a way that if given time to evaluate ourselves we would likely conclude in awe of ourselves the craftsmanship capitabilties bound within each of us. Ps. 139:14 explains we are “Fearfully made,” perfect according to His purpose, He say’s also we are wonderfully made, with exact preciseness in abilities and talents to do His predestined will. What a foundation to build on!

My dad told me on many occasions, whether you are building a chair, a hog pen, or a house, you must see it finished first, it’s the key motivator for completion. The picture taken is of the church garden. In the background you can see a bamboo patch, it’s very evasive and can hold large tracts of property captive, deeming the ground useless, unless it be removed. I was even told it was fit only to be sold, too troublesome and expensive for removal.

However, I envisioned the bamboo patch differently, I saw potential in removing it. But how? Me and a brother of the church set our sights for serveral weeks removing it. We cut each stalk with a chain saw, hauled them to a pile, and to assure the roots from sprouting back we dug up every root, then buried them deep in the ground, covering them over with dirt. I have to admit I thought on serveral occasions about quitting, thinking I should have taken the previous advice of selling, but we marched forward and eventually completing the task. Finally what I envisioned was coming to fruition. As you see, what has taken place of the bamboo is a flourishing garden, with an abundance of fruit to be gathered for harvest. Now, because of our hard work the entire church will be enjoying a fellowship together eating the fruits gathered from this once unusable ground, what a Blessing! Wasn’t this like us before Christ, unusable, dead in our treaspasses and sins, overtaken by wicked vegetation, but God quickened us together in him and made us alive. (Ephes 2)

Now we see by this story, in similar fashion how God keeps those He saves, transporting them through life unto total salvation, even to the end of our faith. Paul explained it by saying at the return of Christ by gathering together unto him those saved (2 Thess 2:1). It could be said like this; after confession, through faith unto salvation, (Rom 10.9), He furthers us progressely forward unto total salvation of His Prized Possession when He gathers us together unto himself, at the Resurrection, both the dead in Christ and those who are alive and remain, what a harvest Jesus presents to His Father. (1 Thess 4). Without God’s Providential plan, there would have been no vision or need of Jesus, the only thing remaining would have been the field overtaken by sinful w**ds.

Just an Insignificant Little Maid

“And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.” 2 Kings 5:2

Surely during your lifetime there has been someone that seemed insignificant to you, but later you found them to be of great significance. My Grandma was one of those people. She was short in stature standing only 4’10” but was like dynamite in Spirit, and quick to jerk a blister on our be-hinds for wrong doings. My sister Carolene, and my niece Melissa favor her attributes a bunch. Around the Sam’s Branch Homestead she was known as the neighborhood doctor. She would go house to house caring and loving for the sick, carrying her little bag of favorite “healing potions.” Once I had stepped on a piece of glass, cutting a deep gash in my foot, and here she came with her bag in her hand to doctor me up. She brought a rather large potato with her, and after she cleaned the cut, she cut a round, thick slice of potato, covered it with salt, pressed it down and wrapped it tightly with gauze, and instructed me to wait until morning and remove it. The next day it was as white as snow.

2 Kings 5:1-14 tells the story of a certain woman, whose name was “Little Maid.” She was captured out of Israel and brought back to Syria, for to be a servant to Naaman’s wife. At first she was just a maid with little significance to anyone but Naaman’s wife, but we find she became of much more significance, especially to Naaman personally. Naaman was a great man with his master and he was a mighty man of valour (2 kings 5:1), but there was something very wrong and debilitating with Naaman, he was a l***r.

This little maid was evidently a caring and compassionate person, and was moved at the condition of Naaman being a l***r. She likely felt sorry for his state, as being quarantined was usually associated with his condition as was the responsibility of warning others to keep their distance shouting, “unclean, unclean” if approached in public. Back in Isreal she knew a man, a prophet named Elijah. She said unto her mistress, “Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.” (2 kings 5:3) A servant went and told the King of Syria she heard of one that could heal Naaman of his leprosy. The king of Syria sent a letter to the king of Israel asking for permission to send Naaman and eventually it was granted so. (2 Kings 5:9) Naaman went on horseback and came to the door of Elisha, and Elisha sent his messenger to him saying, “Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.” (V 10) Eventually, and reluctantly, he did as he was commanded by Elisha, and he went down to the Jordan and washed himself seven times and his skin was restored like a little child. (V14)

Providentially speaking there are little maids just like the one in this story, who are a blessing waiting to happen for someone with a need like Naaman. How many of our lives have been changed because of some insignificant person, who perhaps spoke the perfect words, or performed that heart warming deed, or gave that perfect testimony, which in turn, initiated the process of Grace flowing through your heart like a river introducing you to Jesus, which in turn brought about Salvation.

I’ll leave you with the refrain from “Count Your Blessings”

Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings see what God has done,
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done.

From the Younger to the Older, God Blesses the Same.
Acts 8:36-40

Charles Spurgeon said when remarking about Baptism, “Nothing puts life in man like a dying savior.” Here is a picture of our latest Sand Hill Baptist members, Braelynn and Mike. They recently joined our church by Baptism. The New Testament knows nothing of a church-less Christianity. The New Testament presents the local church as a distinct and defined group of individuals covenanted together to worship God and carry on the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ. One way to be considered for membership in this church is a person must be a disciple of Jesus Christ and give biblical evidence of regeneration, and be baptized in obedience to Christ following his or her conversion, committing wholeheartedly to follow Jesus Christ as Lord in accordance with the Scriptures. When the eu**ch asked Phillip “here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?” (Acts 8:36) then in response Phillip said “If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”

What is so magnificently marvelous about these two is though almost 60 years separate them, they both recently accepted Christ and became new creature (creation) and were Baptized together on the same day. (2 Cor 5:17)

Braelynn, even though young, has been associated with our church since birth, therefore, over a short period of time faith came by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God which eventually brought her to faith in Christ. (Rom.10:17)

In Mike’s case, Faith in Christ came 60 years later than Braelynn’s did, but the same God and His wonderful Grace saved them both. Even though generations separated them, they became brother and sister in Christ. Now that’s a magnificent, marvelous, supernatural miracle of God and no other can do such a thing

Braelynn’s faith came with little life experiences, a more child like faith approach and concept, but Mike’s experience wasn’t so, as he lived his life for 70 years not truly knowing Christ as his Savior wow, what a contrast of time!

In both instances I’ve received a blessing. As I mentioned Braelynn was influenced early in her life by the church, but what made Mike come to Christ in his later years? Neither of them received Christ because they were emotionally struck by some high energy, new age worship service, nor by someone showing them how to be saved, by various points presented to them. No, in fact, simply put, according to the Bible, they were aliens to Christ, dead in trespasses and sins, fulfillers of their flesh, having the mindset and nature as children of wrath. (Ephes 2:3) Here’s wonderful Grace displayed they became believers by God who predestined them to be adopted through Jesus Christ himself, according to the good pleasure of his Will. (Ephes 1:5)

What did it take for them to be saved? It took God’s Grace, through Jesus Christ according to His Will. Have you ever thought about how Grace and faith work in union to bring about salvation. Grace came to both Mike and Braelynn, by the influence of the church. Mike further testified that he had observed Janice in I for over 40 years fulfilling our service for Christ. This is how God works, he predestined before the foundation of the world things to happen according to His Will to bring about salvation for Mike and Braelynn.

I’ll finish with this. Dad once said to me “Son, l’ve watched you a long time,” and I replied “well, what do you think, is it real?” He moved his head up and down to say yes. He also watched me over 40 years and came to the conclusion, that only Christ could change me. That’s Grace, remember Jonah’s proclamation “Salvation is of the Lord.” (Jonah 2:9)

Work for the Glory of God Mr. Bee
Matt. 28:19

As I was gathering the outpouring of my garden’s fruit early this morning, I noticed a Bumblebee working at a frantic pace gathering nectar. The Bumblebee is a part of social insects community that can be found working along side Honey Bees, Yellow Jackets, etc. They are stocky built and their bodies are covered with many hairs to which pollen adheres to. Unlike the Honey Bee which is equipped with two wings, the Bumble Bee has four wings that can move rapidly, at 130-240 beats per second.

These tiny insects are a major component and are valuable as pollinators of crops. These bees are a welcome sight in orange groves, Apple orchards, and grape vineyards throughout the world. In fact, I’ve planted Nasturtiums, Marigolds, Zinnias, Pentunias, and Sunflowers. I watched close a few weeks back a honey bee hop off of a Zinnia blossom to my Corn Tassel, I said “do your thing Mr Bee I'm depending on you.” Over the years many Pesticides being used for w**d control, blight prevention, and pest control have drastically decreased the bee population.

As Christians, we should be “Busy as a Bee” for the Lord. The Great Commision says “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 28:19). The phrase “Go ye” carries with it the thought of “transferring something; to transfer.” Now we can see the resemblance shared between the Bumble Bee and the Gospel Commission. Both are meant to be transferees of their possession, to the bee it's honey, and to the Christian, it's the Gospel of Christ.

Over the years of ministry I’d say the most reoccurring conviction replayed over and over again in my mind, has been whether or not I've utilized my time sufficiently for the Lord. From day to day, year after year, decade after decade, have I been busy about the Lord’s Business, telling the world Jesus Saves. The reason why God’s tiny insects put many Christians to shame is they have a higher esteem of God than we do. If you could ask a bee what he was doing he would say “I'm gathering nectar for the winter to feed my family.” Then if the Christian is asked the same question many would respond by saying, “I'm working to buy land, I'm working to keep happy, I'm working to get rich.” The truth is we wouldn't know how sweet, sweet is to the taste without the bee’s commission to gather the nectar. Be busy like Bee’s

Sow With High expectations

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. (Prov. 10:5)

My brother Joe and I had an idea to raise Half Runner Green Beans to sell. Back in the early 70’s we were always looking for work to do to make extra money, one year we had the Brian Storm to plant a couple of rows of beans. We worked the ground according to Grandpaw’s recommended specifications and when the beans were tall enough for staking we set the poles, pulled the wire and looped the string, and we actually thought that was the hardest work involved, but we came to find that wasn't so at all.

The beans grew and produced the most beautiful, heavy blooms and eventually those blooms produced clusters of green beans. However, after we had picked and sold a couple bushels, we were ready to close down selling. The way we looked at it $2.75 for a bushel of beans was a lot of money to split among ourselves and with the profit we could buy all the penny candy, butter fingers, town house pies, brownie drinks and BB’s for our Daisy Guns.

Like most things in life it wasn't all it was made out to be. It was hard work, and on top of that our Dad and Grandpaw were determined to make it a life lesson for us. I remember dad didn't regulate the policies, he let grandpaw handle that. What we didn't realize was grandpaw’s instincts were based upon a lifetime of dependencies of raising and harvesting food for survival purposes. His mentality was “if you start a job, you finish it.” He stood over us and pushed us hard and we were never so glad to see the beans beginning to die out.

Every time I go to the garden, I think about this time in our lives and you know, it's all good now, that one summer of raising beans did more in helping us with lessons in life and we wouldn't trade it for nothing. During both our lives, we've neither quite something because it was hard, in fact we’ve applied the old addage dad gave us as an analogy drawn from a farmer and his team of horses plowing a field saying, “When things get hard just bow up your neck and go.”

Now many years have past since those days and what I learned then is still paying dividends now. It is by “The Sweat of my Brow” I labor still in anticipation of a bountiful harvest like those days of old in the bean patch, Grandpaw and Dad would be proud. Having a garden to share with my family, and church people helps make the church even more meaningful and I think God is pleased as well. “In all your labors look for the highest yield possible.”

I know

There are some things I know that are directly associated with living in America. I know God through Jesus’ blood has redeemed me, having predestined me by His Sovereign act of adoption. (Ephes 1:1-7) Because of this the meaning of living in America, the land of the free is all the more significant and important. I know what it’s like being surrounded by a family of believers who’ve trusted Christ. I know what it’s like to hear the sound of a church bell on Sunday morning. I know the joyous feeling when a closing stanza of “Amazing Grace” is sung by the saints. I know how it feels when upon Confession of Faith having the weight of sin lifted and being set free. I know what it’s like looking into a mother’s eyes after her son received Christ, simply priceless.

I know by living in America I have experienced things many in other parts of the world will never experience and because of Salvation, I understand God has given me a blessed perspective of the simplest things in life. I know the smell of Honeysuckle on a gravel country road after a summer shower. I know what it's like to pick wild blackberries knowing that grandma will make a pie and give it back to me as a dessert. I know the results from picking a mess of Greasies or Half Runner Beans and the smell associated as they cook. I know the stickiness and the blackness of tar on my hands associated with cutting and spudding a field of to***co. I know the itching affect from putting up a field of hay on a June afternoon. I know what a Bacon and tomato sandwich is all about, especially with a fresh picked tomato from the garden, and a homemade biscuits smothered with cream-style corn, fresh okra, and new potatoes.

I know what it was like to take up prayer requests before classes started in school, to can still hear our voices harmonizing together as allegiance was given to the flag, referencing the forefathers of our Constitution and God who enlightened them. What I know I was a sinner dead in sin, (Ephes 2:1-5) but because of liberty in American I was born free physically and that's great and wonderful but, even that has a dreadful end if not addressed according. What I do know that makes living in America not only an honor but a blessing since Christ died for my sin and because of this I have gratitude, respect and patriotism. I know that loving your country more than God is a stumbling block and a sin but, when put into proper perspective life takes on a newer meaning.

I would like to leave you with one more thing I know. Jude 1:12 makes a statment that haunts me to the core. Now, I've never been the pastor to soften the blow of the Word of God and neither was Jude. When referring to Cain and Balaam perishing with the gainsayers and due to their excess riot they would eventually end up like a ship being bashed upon the jagged rocks lying under shallow waters. He continued by saying they were people who were “twice dead and plucked up by the roots” (V12) there's no way to soften the blow of Jude’s words here. What worth is life, yes some are rich, some are famous and some are poor, but what is all this if you don'have Christ? To be born a sinner and to die a sinner is one of the same. The life God gives each of us at birth takes root, but unless Christ intervens the root of sin will have free reign until judgment (Rev. 20:11) God will pluck up the unbeliever and judge them. I know this, that if faith is made in Christ then those who are grafted into the true vine, God, will not see any longer the corruptable root of the old man but, the grafting of the new man in Jesus Christ. I know because of faith I'll never be plucked up twice by the roots, but instead He abides in me and I in Him. (John 15:4) I know at the Bema sit of Christ the believer will be judged, but not unto firey condemnation, like those of unbelief. At this time only Gold, Silver and Precious Stone will remain and all hay, wood and stumble will be burnt up by His Judgment (1 Cor 3:11-15) I know I'm blessed, I know my redeemer lives. Do you know? If not, you can know him and chime along with me and all others who have put their faith in Christ, saying I know him too.

This Do In Rememberance of Me
Lk 22:17

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and it's true intent and purpose has become blurred lines to many. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day was first observed on May 30, 1968, at Arlington National Cemetery when flowers were placed on the grave of the fallen Union and Confederate Soldiers. Somehow we of the Western World have put our own flair on this solemn day to remember those who never returned from the battlefields, instead, we celebrate their sacrifices and death by excessive gluttony. America consumns 50 billion burgers a year, that's about 3 burgers a week and a large portion of that number is during celebrated holiday times. It might surprise you to know that on Memorial Day alone 818 Hot Dogs are consumed every second, 43 million will travel the roads, cross-crossing America headed for their favorite vacation spot.

Now, we've all heard on the news about Lake Mead in California how they've been suffering from one of the greatest droughts in California’s history causing water to drop to seriously low levels, activating conservation efforts to conserve as much as possible, but the waters have begun rising once again due to plentiful rains coupled with record mountain snow amounts and Spring snow melts the lake is almost full once again. With the water levels suffering low levels in the past years, only 20,000 vehicles came through the recreation area in 2022 but now that number is expected to jump significantly higher due to the lake being full. With an average of 2.5 people in each vehicle will result in an estimated number of more than 50,000 people at the lake over the weekend. But, the Bible speaks of monuments much differently than what many of the American people see it.

Year's ago a prayer warrior and I would go outside into a wooded area during our breaks at work and pray, after each prayer we would lay a stone as a monument to that day's prayer. Those days are passed now and neither of us are employees there any longer. Often times I pass by the place and I say; “out there in the woods is the place where many prayer stones were laid as a monument to each prayer.” It was to remind us to never let Jesus become a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense ( 1 Peter 2:8, Is 8:14) that Jesus was to never be replaced by any other god. We are reminded that upon the Rock Jesus is our hope.

We find many characters in the Bible who were monumental by nature. Abraham took a stone he used for a pillar for his head and set up a pillar, as a monument to the vision in his dream, Jesus is under our feet. (Gen. 28:18) Jacob took a stone and set it up as a (monument) or pillar. (Gen 31:45) Peter stood and preached a monumental message defending those who were considered to be drunken, he preached about the monuments of Christ . (Acts 2:14) His message was about liberation in Christ to all who would believe and that whisoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Acts 2:21) then he alluded to the Patriarch David who was a king after God’s own heart yet, he died and was buried,his bones are still in the sepulcher (monument) today. But, Christ is risen, he's not in the grave, and his flesh and bone are one with His Father in Heaven, what a monument to celebrate.

Unfortunately many churches willi be a graveyard this weekend due to their ideas of what Memorial Day means to them. The true backdrop behind Memorial Day is not how much fun we can have but, remembering those who gave their lives on the battleground so we could enjoy freedom. For the believer, Jesus the rock was not contained in the sepulcher it was left empty on that faithful day and deserves the best and most respected reverence we can muster. He laid down His life so that we could live free.
