Run, Run, Run!

Beating the Train

As my friend and I were taking a walk one day, we heard a train whistle in the distance and knew we only had a minute or two to beat the train and get across the tracks in order to not allow our walk to be interrupted.  So we ran. Surprised smile  Whew!   I’m not used to that, but we did beat the train! 

I was thinking that sometimes there are trains in life that come along and we ought not to let them over take us.  We often need to run in order to avoid certain dangers and obstacles that may hinder our Christian life.

  • Joseph ran and got away from Potiphar’s wife instead of letting sin ruin his life.-Genesis 39:12  And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
  • We should run to the Lord to hide us and deliver us from our enemies. - Psalms 143:9  Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 
  • Run from things that will hinder your Christian life and instead be obedient to this verse: 1 Timothy 6:11  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.  and this verse:  2 Timothy 2:22  Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
  • As we Submit ourselves to God and resist the devil we will find that he will run from us!  James 4:7  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
  • May each day be a day that we run the Christian life with patience and lay aside every weight of sin - Hebrews 12:1  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Some Things do not have an End

I love my family.  There are the only thing on earth you can take with you to eternity.  How important to share the gospel with all of them!  It is exciting to see my grand children, one by one come to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.  I look forward to the day when each one of them has been saved through the blood of Jesus Christ and I look forward to that great reunion in heaven.  You can be 100% sure!

9 Characteristics of a Christian’s Music

I love to listen and sit under the influence of Dr. Don Scovill, music chairman of Ambassador Baptist College and music director at our church, Maranatha Baptist Church of Shelby, NC. He has been teaching in Sunday School on music.  Last Sunday he gave us 9 characteristics of a Christian’s Music.  Truly, the music of a Christian ought to be different from that of the world. My music must show my changed life or regenerated experience.  If there is no change, then we have a defective salvation or perhaps, no salvation.  2Corinthians 5:17  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. My music should show ownership. We are not our own.  We belong to Christ.  Be careful what you put into your body, mind, and soul.  Does it reflect the ownership of Christ? 1 Corinthians 6:19-20  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which y...
