"I Am Following My Heart!?!"




Why Would We ... As A Committed-To-Christ Christians
Ever Utter The Words: 
"I Am Following My Heart!"  
When The Lord Of Life Calls Man's Heart Deceitful 
And, In Truth, Impossible To Know By Man!?! 

Beloved, 

We Really Need To Stop Following Popular Culture 
And 
The Self-Help No Help At All Gurus 
Who ... With Gay Abandon
Encourage People To Doubt The Word Of Almighty God 
To Gleefully Foray Into Fashionable Foolishness! 

There Was A Time When Your Parent Told You How To Live 
And
You Obeyed 
Because 
You Knew That They Loved You 
And 
Wanted What Was Best For You! 

Our Father In Heaven ... Our Parent Supreme
Has Warned Against Trusting Our Deceitful 
Aka Lying, Unholy, Proud, Desperately Wicked Heart 
Which We May Only Know The Right About 
Through His Saving Grace! 

Remember, Remember
Don't Ever Forget ...

Man's Heart Desires What Soothes The Senses 
And 
Not What Pleases Almighty God 
And 
Satisfies The Savior-Seeking Soul! 

It Takes Amazing Grace 
To Get Us To The Heights Of Christ's Surpassing Glory 
Where No Wicked, Unregenerate, Heart May Enter! 

Grace Is Available! 
Grab It! 

Peace!

Missionary Volunteers


Greetings, Dear Ones!

HAPPY SABBATH!

How is the weather in your neck of the woods?

Have your feet been hiding out in socks and under blankets like mine have been these last few days? Fall weather has arrived and it is surely making its presence felt!

Today I want to talk about doing mission work - the purpose of this blog - and missionaries ... for Jesus. Isn't that what we are called to be? (Go ye into all the world ...! Mark 16:15)

Many of us, myself included, wanted to be missionaries when we heard the mission stories from exotic and far-flung destinations; when we heard about the Lord's mighty hand moving amongst native tribes in these various destinations, and the many miracles experienced by those in the mission field. That was the life!

Then we grew up, life interrupted, and we forgot the dream until one day we, you, me, felt, saw, heard, or smelt something ... .

Our offering today is about the pull  one feels when  "I Want to be a Missionary!"

Enjoy, and don't forget to share!

Be well, and be gloriously blessed,

BJ


I Want to be A Missionary



I want to be a missionary
But … I don't want to have to go abroad
Because … I have neighbors and even family
Who don't know – or believe – in God!


I want to be a missionary
But … I don't want to pack a bag
Or get a shot, or even a passport
I know that my parents will be glad!



My mission field … will be in my township
My passport … will be the Holy Word
My shot … is the Spirit of the Lord, and
My bag … is showing care, and fellowship!


Don't worry … about traveling abroad, Friend
Charity … begins at home!
Just grow … where you have been planted

And God … you He will defend! **BJC**
