We will be finishing our plan for this past year on the 29th and hope to have decided on another one by then. This year, we have read the entire bible once through and got to read the following books a second time: Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Isaiah. We also read all of the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John four times. It was good to continually be reading the life of Jesus all through the year. I have grown much in my knowledge of what he actually did when he was here, in the flesh.<br />
<br />
This new year, we will be aiming at something different. We will be seeking to 'master' 12 books, one per month, by reading the entire book in one (or two if necessary) days, every day for one month. By the end of the year, we will have read through 12 books many times and will have a very good grasp about what the entire message of those books are. Along with this, we would like to read the Bible through again this year once, but have yet to decide on the exact method or specific plan. I would like to take the time to encourage you to find a plan (there are many on the internet) that fits you and get into God's written word this year. There is nothing more important you could be doing.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-80462700189764215522011-12-22T07:37:00.000-08:002011-12-22T07:37:51.118-08:00THE URGENCY OF MISSIONS<iframe width="520" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/01QnPDZ7Ab4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-51478612082335574502011-12-18T08:24:00.000-08:002011-12-18T08:24:10.374-08:00THE STORY BEHIND THE HYMN<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C_UhtYhhDFI" width="480"></iframe>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-25954284987293465142011-12-17T11:11:00.000-08:002011-12-17T11:11:13.294-08:00GOD'S GOODNESSI am truly grateful for Melissa's tumor markers falling so dramatically this time around. We just got home from another visit to the doctors in Tulsa at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America and have found that the new drugs she is on are working very nicely. I am thankful to serve a loving God who listens to men. God's sovereignty ought not amaze us so nearly as much as God's love for us. It is right for God to have control of all things. Such a being would not be God without such control and yet his love for us is not necessary to his being. His love for us is something he chooses to do out of his sheer....well love for us. I pray that your service to him would flow out of this never ending fountain that bears the name of Jesus. God truly did love the world so much that he sent Jesus for the purpose of joining me to him by taking away all things that have separated us. Why? Well, because of his love for me. And it is this love for me that allows, nay, is the very fiber and fuel of my boldness to ask God to do great things for me, one being that Melissa get better and not die from this terrible illness. This is a desire of mine and I wholeheartedly desire others to see God move on my behalf so that they might begin to see the extent of God's love for them. Yes, God is sovereign, but he is willing to use that sovereignty to give his children good things if only they would have faith to ask.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-80098576356449359132011-12-15T19:27:00.000-08:002011-12-15T19:27:56.142-08:00A NEW NAME AROUND HEREWell, I renamed the blog today. I was driving to Tulsa, OK with Melissa so she could get treatment and noticed that I was driving 55 in a 75. I am in no hurry to get anywhere any more. I am grateful for the great peace the Lord has given me recently. Many have been praying for this for quite sometime and I can truly say that the Lord has come through on my behalf, thus the new name. No hurry to get anywhere here, just a wonderful expectation that if I continue cruising in this direction, steady, I will arrive finally at my Lord's gate where I will be admitted to a true and more complete rest than I can ever conceive of here.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-56943686685668499162011-12-15T10:41:00.000-08:002011-12-15T10:41:35.342-08:00IRAQ WAR IS OVERIf you haven't heard, the war in Iraq is officially over.<br />

This statement, although simple enough to understand and confess as what one believes, carries with it a great number of implications which if not endorsed by actual practice of the one confessing it becomes the very statement that should be used as proof of that one’s hypocrisy. Holding to a set of beliefs without practice is a very great evil commonly practiced by those in our day. Many do it out of ignorance, not understanding what the term ‘belief’ means biblically, but it is a deadly ignorance that needs to be addressed. John 3:36 reads, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” It is clear from this verse that those who believe in the Son, have eternal life and are obedient to him. It is stated that whoever does not obey shall not see life making it evident those who shall see life, namely those who are obedient. So, we see here that obedience is an activity of belief and not just some option that man has the freedom to choose or not to choose after having obtained their salvation from the Son of God. Biblical salvation includes the whole man. Every aspect of man must come under the influence of the Holy Spirit. His mind, heart, soul, and strength must all be used to glorify God and enjoy him, otherwise no salvation has occurred. This stands to show that if one is not in the practice of this, one is not a Christian, and therefore doomed to be trodden in the winepress of the fury of God’s wrath.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I will write more on this later, but here is a something to think upon until then. If the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever and man has not been doing this since Adam, what is it that man has been doing as his chief end? And why is this so extremely displeasing to God that he stands to make all who do this drain the cup of the wine of the fury of his wrath for eternity?</span></div>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-49433531347954162042011-12-11T07:45:00.001-08:002011-12-11T07:45:39.357-08:00SEEK GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART<object height="262" width="432"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LnlcwODY1kw?version=3&fs=1&hl=en_US&cc_load_policy=1&rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LnlcwODY1kw?version=3&fs=1&hl=en_US&cc_load_policy=1&rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="432" height="262"></embed></object>Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-36917128629942775692011-12-09T08:43:00.000-08:002011-12-09T08:43:18.425-08:00FARTHER ALONGTempted and tried, I wondered why <br />
The good man died, the bad man thrives <br />
And Jesus cries because he loves em’ both <br />
We’re all cast-aways in need of ropes <br />
Hangin’ on by the last threads of our hope <br />
In a house of mirrors full of smoke <br />
Confusing illusions I’ve seen <br />
<br />
Where did I go wrong, I sang along <br />
To every chorus of the song <br />
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates <br />
Leading mice and men down to their fates <br />
But some will courageously escape <br />
The seductive voice with a heart of faith <br />
While walkin’ that line back home <br />
<br />
So much more to life than we’ve been told <br />
It’s full of beauty that will unfold <br />
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son <br />
That deadweight burden weighs a ton <br />
Go down into the river and let it run <br />
And wash away all the things you’ve done <br />
Forgiveness alright <br />
<br />
Still I get hard pressed on every side <br />
Between the rock and a compromise <br />
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin’ for my soul <br />
And I’ve got no place left go <br />
Cause I got changed by what I’ve been shown <br />
More glory than the world has known <br />
Keeps me ramblin’ on <br />
<br />
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall <br />
I’m free to love once and for all <br />
And even when I fall I’ll get back up <br />
For the joy that overflows my cup <br />
Heaven filled me with more than enough <br />
Broke down my levee and my bluff <br />
Let the flood wash me <br />
<br />
And one day when the sky rolls back on us <br />
Some rejoice and the others fuss <br />
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess <br />
That the son of god is forever blessed <br />
His is the kingdom, we’re the guests <br />
So put your voice up to the test <br />
Sing Lord, come soon<br />
<br />

Bulky, I cannot move it how I would like to.<br />
Although I must admit, it is not heavy like it once was,<br />
it is still there, mocking the saints of God.<br />
How did it get here? When did it first appear?<br />
It has been so long I cannot recall its inception.<br />
Regardless, it is great and remains.<br />
My steps are from the Lord, how can I understand my way? <br />
I will wash my robe.<br />
I will thirst and conquer.<br />
I will make myself ready with fine linen, bright and pure.<br />

Not just any Monday, but the Monday after Thanksgiving. Four days off of work is a very long time. It was a wonderful time. I cannot remember the last time I had that many days off with nothing special to do. Sure, there was the week off of work to go to Texas and Tulsa as well as all of the monthly trips to the Cancer Treatment Centers of America to get Melissa's treatment but we were just as busy there as I would have been if I went to work instead. These past four days have been so wonderfully refreshing because there was nothing to do but sit in my apartment and well, do nothing.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-43140611103898751952011-11-26T08:03:00.000-08:002011-11-26T10:24:30.400-08:00WWII in HDIf you have not seen the movie series titled, "WWII in HD", then you should. I have watched it in the last two days and it has prompted and galvanized a greater appreciation to God for the grace He has shown me by keeping me from seeing and experiencing greater amounts of horror than otherwise possible. We live in a world of pain and this great country I was born into continually fails to appreciate God for that grace which we deem so common.

True fellowship with God is necessary to overcome the sin that so easily entangles you. Not just biblical truth itself, but actual, secret meetings with God. Meetings where you take the time to pour out your heart before the Lord, requesting that God use His strong arm on your behalf to destroy any strongholds that the enemy has built up in your life. Regular meetings with God until you can confidently say with the Psalmist, "I love the Lord because He hears my voice and my prayers for mercy. Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!" Let the fact that God has heard your prayers and vanquished these pockets of resistance in your life be real and practical and not just theoretical. Dear reader, ask yourself, "Can I truly say with the Psalmist that I will pray as long as I have breath because He hears me?" Have you set yourself to pray for specific things in your life and continued in prayer until it has been won? We truly do not have, because we have not truly asked. Go. Meet with God and He will deliver.

Pray that the Lord might use these paper messengers of hope to advance His kingdom in the Kansas City area.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-81478562070433071332011-11-14T01:38:00.000-08:002011-11-14T01:39:13.769-08:00PARENTAL ADVICE for OWS PROTESTERS (by Marybeth Hicks, Washington Times)<h3 class="post-title entry-title"></h3><div class="post-header"></div>Call it an occupational hazard, but I can't look at the Occupy Wall Street protesters without thinking, "Who parented these people?"<br />
<br />
<br />
As a culture columnist, I've commented on the social and political ramifications of the "movement" - now known as "OWS" - whose fairyland agenda can be summarized by one of their placards: "Everything for everybody.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks to their pipe-dream platform, it's clear there are people with serious designs on "transformational" change in America who are using the protesters like bedsprings in a brothel.<br />
<br />
Yet it's not my role as a commentator that prompts my parenting question, but rather the fact that I'm the mother of four teens and young adults. There are some crucial life lessons that the protesters' moms clearly have not passed along.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here, then, are five things the OWS protesters' mothers should have taught their children but obviously didn't, so I will:<br />
<br />
<br />
• <i>Life isn't fair.</i> The concept of justice - that everyone should be treated fairly - is a worthy and worthwhile moral imperative on which our nation was founded. But justice and economic equality are not the same. Or, as Mick Jagger said, "You can't always get what you want."<br />
<br />
No matter how you try to "level the playing field," some people have better luck, skills, talents or connections that land them in better places. Some seem to have all the advantages in life but squander them, others play the modest hand they're dealt and make up the difference in hard work and perseverance, and some find jobs on Wall Street and eventually buy houses in the Hamptons. Is it fair? Stupid question.<br />
<br />
<br />
• <i>Nothing is "free."</i> Protesting with signs that seek "free" college degrees and "free" health care make you look like idiots, because colleges and hospitals don't operate on rainbows and sunshine. There is no magic money machine to tap for your meandering educational careers and "slow paths" to adulthood, and the 53 percent of taxpaying Americans owe you neither a degree nor an annual physical.<br />
<br />
While I'm pointing out this obvious fact, here are a few other things that are not free: overtime for police officers and municipal workers, trash hauling, repairs to fixtures and property, condoms, Band-Aids and the food that inexplicably appears on the tables in your makeshift protest kitchens. Real people with real dollars are underwriting your civic temper tantrum.<br />
<br />
<br />
• <i>Your word is your bond. </i>When you demonstrate to eliminate student loan debt, you are advocating precisely the lack of integrity you decry in others. Loans are made based on solemn promises to repay them. No one forces you to borrow money; you are free to choose educational pursuits that don't require loans, or to seek technical or vocational training that allows you to support yourself and your ongoing educational goals. Also, for the record, being a college student is not a state of victimization. It's a privilege that billions of young people around the globe would die for - literally.<br />
<br />
<br />
• <i>A protest is not a party.</i> On Saturday in New York, while making a mad dash from my cab to the door of my hotel to avoid you, I saw what isn't evident in the newsreel footage of your demonstrations: Most of you are doing this only for attention and fun. Serious people in a sober pursuit of social and political change don't dance jigs down Sixth Avenue like attendees of a Renaissance festival. You look foolish, you smell gross, you are clearly high and you don't seem to realize that all around you are people who deem you irrelevant.<br />
<br />
<br />
• <i>There are reasons you haven't found jobs. </i>The truth? Your tattooed necks, gauged ears, facial piercings and dirty dreadlocks are off-putting. Nonconformity for the sake of nonconformity isn't a virtue. Occupy reality: Only 4 percent of college graduates are out of work. If you are among that 4 percent, find a mirror and face the problem. It's not them. It's you.Joehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16434397266348989202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721045368060170574.post-1623982183055728222011-11-13T10:27:00.000-08:002011-11-13T10:27:14.645-08:00JOSH GARRELSI found this guy through someone's blog that I follow. The lyrics in all of his music are solid. By 'solid', I mean biblical. The sound is nice, although it takes a little bit to get used to. The music has the sound of 'Iron and Wine' if you are familiar with them. I have very much enjoyed it and have actually been encouraged by the songs on this album to worship God truly. He is a great encouragement to the brethren and you can sense this attitude in all of the songs. The best part of the whole thing is that you can download the entire album at no cost. I would pay double for this sort of music.<br />
