I am a crusader for Christ. I grew up with a handicap that has given me a perspective that most people don' have. I have not handled myself all that well through High School and college. My wife and I attended a mainline church the first twelve years of our marriage. We were close to two families who were Bible believing-Christians. From that point on we've been blessed with following the guidelines of the first-century church.

I've been a leader in all of the churches we've attended. I've had my successes and failures. But I keep in mind that failures can always lead to lessons learned. I ave never lost my crusader mentality and currently see our country failing in religion, culture, and history.

I just saw a wonderful movie "Kingdom of Heaven" of a great man "Balian" who led the oppostion to Saladin prior to the third Crusade. Throughout the many trials he faced, he always stayed true to his word and his God.

This the character I wish to emulate. I will be true to my "Crusader" attitudes.

(Matthew 5:3-9 WEB) 3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6 Blessed [are] they who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9 Blessed [are] the peace-makers: for they shall be called children of God.

(Matthew 5:10-12 WEB) 10 Blessed [are] they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

(Ephesians 6:11 WEB) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. 13 Wherefore take to you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

(Ephesians 6:14-18 WEB) 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breast-plate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye will be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching for this purpose with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Don't Just Sympathize, Also Empathize

Much of the ministry in the church is directed at church members and their families. Some additional help is given to benevolent ministries. But there are lost souls who have lost their way in life that are not understood or tolerated. It's these people that need to experience Christian love.

Judge Not

Judging is what immature Christians are good at. They're referred to as legalists, which is a misnomer, since they are doing Satan's work and not extending the Grace that Jesus desires for every stranger a Christian will encounter.

Are We Sheep or Are We Goats?

Although they look similar and flock together, sheep and goats are different. Just like men and women, regardless of race, people are spiritually different from one another. Each has a different eternal destination. But they have a choice, not determined by genetics.

Can Jesus Trust men?

Jesus found that men were not trustworthy. The challenge for our men since we have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior is learn their responsibilities from NT scripture. Christian men should stand out among men in their community.

  Reflecting the Son's Light

  as the Moon reflects the Sun's Light A full moon can be very bright in the night sky. But it has no light of its own; it simply reflects the Sun's light. We can be the light that draws people to Jesus, the Son of God. And that light does not come from us; it reflects the Holy Spirit in us.

  We have amazing tools to communicate with one another in America. But we are more divided than ever. We're so determined to silence the other side rather than find common ground. Because we can communicate, we miss body language, which is essential.

  Anxiety and Anger versus Prayer and Forgiveness

  15 months ago

  Anxiety and Anger poisoned my prayer life. I didn't pray effectively against my Anxiety and Anger, and I started to build walls between God and myself. God wants me to reflect on my issues and bring them to Him, sincerely determined to correct my lack of trust and forgiveness.
