This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Of these I am the foremost. But for that reason I was mercifully treated, so that in me, as the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all His patience as an example for those who would come to believe in Him for Everlasting Life. First Timothy 1:15-16

In just the same way, I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10

Exodus 32:7-11, 13-14, Psalm 51, First Timothy 1:12-17 & Luke 15:1-32

Many a sayings draw people to eat or to drink or to watch a sporting event be it football or baseball or the amazing abilities of acrobats that travel the globe. Just as Paul was drawn to a proverb that changed his ways, we too can be drawn to the notion of being saved from sin displaying Christ’s patience in every step you take unafraid to speak of His love displaying the faith we have in our hope His charity will save the world. Surely, I too am a witness to the transforming abilities of being saved by this declaration living as an example for Everlasting Life.

Today we celebrate the one sinner who may be you that declares as I that I am sorry LORD for having offending thee and I detest the sins I have committed in disgrace of the Truth. I know LORD my sins offend You and I pray I can display for You all my faith, hope and love of everything good. Be resolved today to repent and say I am sorry LORD for disrespecting Your Truth in such a way that it separates us to this day until I openly proclaim my repentant desire to sin less and love more. Yes, we know we all are sinners repenting daily in a process of living the Gospel rejoicing in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to live the trust of Christ’s saying to live for His Everlasting Life. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 1:1-2, I chant- “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers. Rather, the Law of the LORD is his joy; and on His Law he meditates day and night.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

At the Name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:6-11

Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in Him may have Eternal Life.” For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have Eternal Life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3:14-17

Numbers 21:4-9, Psalm 78, Philippians 2:6-11 & John 3:13-17

The art of reverence seems to be dislocated from human society opting instead for fast paced desires given in an instant stealing every ounce of strength to show honor, humility and high opinion of Deity of the One and Only True God. We were given a Way to know the Father and forgive our sins we run rampant with for years as individuals but lifetimes as a humanity forever needing the True Gift of Redemption. Nothing hidden nothing not forgiven opening His arms to anyone who ever committed any wrong against Him as the Creator of me and of you. This Name brought about a New Covenant where love resides over all evil turning back the tides of hate, horror and havoc on the lives of humanity since the beginning of time.

Yes, your body should bend at the Name of Jesus as many of us do taught by people instilled to live respectful honoring thy mother and thy father above all shame of disrespect. My wife celebrates this Command we revisit today by the belief Eternal Life is given for those who believe that His Name, Jesus, deserves your respect in a bow- the nodding of your head at least following the Commands established for all Eternity showing respect that will NEVER go away. Thank you my love for helping me see this beauty in our celebrations of Him in our journeys of life. I love you, in Christ. Amen.

We may deny Him in our fears as He cries for us in His tears that forever washed us clean from sin. Some ask why our Universal faith reveres the Cross with Jesus visible for all to see for God commanded we look upon Him “lifted up” upon our Cross of Redemption. Yes, my brothers and sisters and children of the world, Jesus did come down from the Cross but the Jesus of the Cross is looked upon to gain Eternal Life as God so instructed allowing you the opportunity to look upon Jesus anyplace kissed as many do upon pulling our Cross out of our pockets shouldering His Commands sharing by example. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to bend our heads and our knees and prostrate our bodies at the Name of Your Son Jesus. Prayer of thanksgiving for completing every Psalm today after sharing every part of each Psalm for 150 straight days by starting at 1 and going to 150 and back to two then back to 149 and so on. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 76:12-13, I chant- “Make and keep vows to the LORD your God. May all around Him bring gifts to the One to be feared, Who checks the spirit of princes, Who is fearful to the kings of earth.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Grasp not the horn
Filled with sin to adorn

Emptied rather than full
Slave the form He would pull
Likeness of human we are told
Himself humbled to die alone

Cross of obedience He wore
Hands and feet and side they tore
Placing nails and a lance to adore
The Blood washing us clean in Amor

He greatly exalted by God the Father
Bestowed upon Him to eternally foster
Name above all names we seem to gather
Jesus bending every knee sinners who lost her

The wisdom to confess by tongue our thoughts
Name of LORD Jesus Christ our knees should get lost
To fall upon the floor bowing at all costs
The Father be the Glory of a Son Who Taught

Forgiveness of sin died upon a Cross

Maybe you have felt it as it slipped your attention away enticing your brain while stealing your soul in an instant. Each generation has been faced with the same ongoing selfish desires of the heart carrying on the ideas of others sipping lies consuming each other without even a prayer. We embrace human tradition seeing status even in the midst of holy houses built to hold His presence in a quiet Sacred place. We cannot share in His fullness unless we share in His sacrifice unleashing faith, hope and love for His Charity.

Colossians 1:24–2:3, Psalm 62 & Luke 6:6-11

Learning wisdom comes from living life enveloped in day-to-day tasks of survival allowed only by the surrender to existing we must take to survive. Obviously we must eat and drink to live but we must take on a different aspect to learn wisdom from each other that God has given humanity to communicate with Him. I am reminded of the Moses who came off a mountain after seeing God looking as if Wisdom had colored him grey and silver shinning like the stars twinkling in the night. You can feel this kind of wisdom that takes over your body in thoughts, actions and deeds for His Truth has repaired your soul beckoning you to share the Salvation of Christ “in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” We may not ever fully understand the mystery of God as Christ offers us the wisdom hidden in Him “brought together in love.” Amen.

All must close his hands around the Cross of his own
Not live according to pleasures previously shown
Tower to construct by the calculated costs prone
Enough for completion without missing a single stone

If in dismay you forgo many Truths to tally
The foundation unfinished onlookers to rally
Materials lack they laugh unprepared king
Deciding to fight they must always bring

The smarts to sit down and weigh the battle
Too many troops will cause many to tattle
Delegation sent peace ahead to calm the rattle
Or be run over like a herd of stampeding cattle

You who once were alienated and hostile in mind because of evil deeds He has now reconciled in His fleshly body through His death, to present you holy, without blemish, and irreproachable before Him, provided that you persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the Gospel that you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven. Colossians 1:21-23

Colossians 1:21-23, Psalm 54 & Luke 6:1-5

Looking back over your existence you’ll begin to see the times you too were hostile in your life towards others thinking not of the needs of anyone but yourself. You watched strangers walk by you hungry and confused moreover mumbling to themselves frightening you in most cases. They were confused by lack of nutrition and proper rest aching to be held and in most cases more scared and admittingly so embarrassed by the lost life they live searching for something unsure how or where to find the Truth of faith, hope and love in charity. Someone like you or me will walk up to them and offer them a meal or a handshake that just might change their life forever ending a mindless search to a shifting not from the Gospel they will hear from your lips but in most cases simply from your action to say “come break bread with me.”

I met him last night as I was traveling to have dinner with me wife at a local bar-b-que He was walking dazed hand up in his face to block the sun no more than five and half feet tall seemingly tanned from a distance but filthy up close. He walked by the restaurant and I got up and headed out to him. Calling out he stopped and smiled flashing the pain of lost teeth carrying a red backpack as big as himself. His name is Jason and I offered him a meal and to sit with us for supper as my daddy likes to say in Georgia. I told him to go in and wash up as we walked inside causing a stir in the restaurant that surely could be described as fright from wait staff, customers and the owner enough so that she ask him to go outside and she’d bring his meal in a jiffy.

Jason happily agreed seeming uncomfortable in the surroundings but not before we both washed up and spent time in the bathroom in conversation and prayer closing in a hug I could feel as Christ Himself. Jason reminded me of the new pastor who donned dirty ripped clothes, bearded and no shoes who went to his new church unknown to entice a reaction where charity was lost in the fright of survival. My meal seemed tasteless as I watched Jason walk out with a bag and sweet tea in hand. Sure, I got him a free meal but I missed something in the rubbing of elbows at a dinner table of faith, hope and love of charity. Alas, I will persevere in faith encouraging the encounter as much as the evangelization that needs to take place. Amen.

Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. [And] no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good.’” Luke 5:36-39

Colossians 1:15-20, Psalm 100 & Luke 5:33-39

We become set in our old ways and hesitate or deny the new with such fervor we sometimes kill whatever tries to change us. Jesus was no different and He instills in us the same need to change today as He did 2000 years ago. The generation of the time though much smaller still had a hard time accepting God’s new Covenant of Love by Jesus Christ the Messiah opting instead to nail Him to a tree keeping old rules accepting not that He was the One and Only Way to Heaven. Here, we find the Truth cannot be killed or set aside for as we all know the Gospel is Everlasting unlike the fragile bodies of man made strong in determination but weak in self-will. Our desires to change are killed in other ways we intentionally set to live a life of self.
We’ll forgo reading the Bible to latching onto an illuminating screen by the loss of self. We’ll forget how to pray captured instead by the sounds that draw us into the dark finding our attention is stolen by the desires of the heart. We’ll stop talking about God and opt instead to speak of false witnesses who obviously wreak havoc on the souls of many while we deny anything is happening right in our hands, homes and habitats of our old self. We must respect the old and evangelize the new as the same ironic message Jesus parables in not wanting new wine for we are drinking the old satisfactorily. What is old Law is still a part of the New Law established by Christ foretold by the Divine guidance in Prophets of Old. Love the Old live the New together they spell Salvation for you. Amen.

We ask in prayer: Dear LORD, we pray to love the old in living the New. Novena prayers day three for Nadege Robergeau in Haiti. Novena prayers day seven for Sabina Romero. Prayers for Dr. Cruz-Peluca. Greg Bishop has our constant prayers. LORD from Psalm 80:18-19, I chant- “May Your hand be with the Man on Your Right, with the Son of Man Whom You made strong for Yourself. Then we will not withdraw from You; revive us, and we will call on Your Name.” In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

I am yours in Christ,

Good is the past foretold– Luke 5:33-39

Pharisee teamed up
The Scribe to casting
Asking Jesus observing
Disciples aren’t fasting

John who baptized
Fasting disciples know
The ache of an empty belly
Unlike yours who show

Eating and drinking a plenty
Celebration under tow
Bridegroom is now present
The love of life they grow

Nothing of past continues
The parable of the new and old
Old cloak not used to patch
The match will forever show

Bursting at the seams you’ll lose
As wine poured into skins of old
New wine made to be ancient
Dripping on the floor to scold

Will anyone want new?
The joy of living the old
Is joined as one man knew
Good is the past foretold
