"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!

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**
