There is not too many things that amaze me anymore, however there are those rare occasions when I am amazed. One thing that truly amazes me is how I see God work in peoples lives and my own. I shouldn't be surprised because God is already truly amazing and He works in mysterious ways.

Some of you already know that little over a week ago my van was entered into illegally and some items were stolen. One of the items just didn't effect me, but my children and wife. Another item was my Bible. Yes, my Bible was stolen. Well, the item that affected my wife and children, that was taken care of pretty quickly.

Tonight, I received a phone call from my dad and he was informed by Bro. Ed that someone dropped off a Bible to the church. This lady who dropped it off said that she found it in her yard. She use to go to Northway some time ago and she knew were to take it by the bulletins within the case.

This shows some true character out of people and shows that God has a hand in everything. I am so thankful for that lady, whoever she is, and I am so thankful that my God has not broken any promises. He has promised to take care of me and He has in so many ways. Jesus Christ is alive, and I thank Him for keeping His promises. He is an awesome and amazing God!!

I know it has been a while since I have posted something here on this page, and I apologize for that. I have recently been scrolling through Facebook and I have seen some posts and shares that are entertaining, funny, educational and just plain dirty. It saddens my heart that today's society thinks and believes it is OK to post crude and disgusting images and sayings on this social network media. Please, do not get me wrong, I have made plenty of mistakes in the past, and I am not judging anyone. As a Christian we are not to judge someone, however we are to judge the sin. There are plenty of verses of scripture that encourages us and how to avoid this type of material.

Sad to say, there are even some that say they are Christians and still fall into the temptation of this sin. One great thing that there is about the only living God that we serve is that He is forgiving. Just getting immersed into Christ does not give you a free ticket into Heaven. We also need to be obedient to His commands. That also includes doing everything that is pleasing to our Heavenly Father as well. Jesus said, if you love me, then you will keep my commands. If you don't keep my commands, then you do not love me.

By sharing or posting things that are pleasing to God is not keeping His commands. By posting and sharing items that contain sexual explicit content, even if there is not any nudity, you are committing adultery. Jesus said that even if you lust over another woman, you are committing adultery within your heart. This is not my teachings or standards, this is God's standards. His standards are much higher then anyone else on this earth.

If you think that since I am single I am not committing adultery. I am not cheating on anyone. Well, the truth of the matter is that you are. You are cheating on your future spouse. Does that individual deserve this treatment? I would say no and I hope that you will say the same.

Again, one of the greatest things about our God, is that He is all forgiving. He loves us unconditionally. Posting and sharing these items might be funny with your friends and family, however does pleasing your family and friends with this type of material really matter in the end? Your family and friends will not be the ones who judge you in the end, it will be God. So, should you post or share something that is not pleasing to God and take the chance in not entering into Heaven? Or, should you try and do everything that is pleasing to God and enter into Heaven? The choice is yours, not mine.

I say all this in Christ love and I am and will continue to pray for each and everyone of you. May the Lord bless you, keep you safe, give you peace and empower you with His spirit. In Jesus name, Amen.

Tonight Rachell came forward and accepted Jesus as her personal Lord and Savior. It is a wonderful honor to see how Christ is using me. It is an honor to be the one who was able to baptize her by immersing her into Christ according to scripture, Acts 2:38. All the praise and honor goes to the Lord.

This past Sunday evening, Kasey and Breanna came forward and was immersed into Christ. It is such a wonderful honor for God to use me in the way He has by baptizing these two young ladies. Praise the Lord; all credit goes to Him.
