GOD”S love for you is truly unstoppable….

as Romans 8:31-38 tells us:

So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture:

They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.

Two old boats…rust happens.

it is so cool how oxidation (rust) takes over and does its magic changing the color and texture of the hardest metals.

All it would take is a little emery applied to this and you might be surprised what lays underneath…GOD rocks!

Save the Emery

Yes, this must be done! Gotta save the Emery!

By the way, what is the “Emery” talked about here?

It is Cincinnati’s Emery Theatre created by Robert Howes, and one of four halls that were specifically built for the symphony orchestras of their respective cities. The four halls were Carnegie Hall in New York City (1892), Orchestra Hall in Chicago (1904), Emery Auditorium in Cincinnati (1911), and Orchestra Hall in Detroit (1919).

Pretty great investment especially if you like the symphony!

Emery – I’m Only A Man

Emery – I’m Only A Man, originally uploaded by em0rix.

…created on purpose in GOD’S image….can you get your head around that?

He knew me and wanted me to be just who I am….well, under His guidance.

Notice the appropriateness that this mirror has a sink under it? Takes lots of soap to make a real man.

By the way,

S is scripture,
O is observation,
A is application, and
P is prayer…then add a
Y to it and it becomes “Yes, I will be different because of what I have learned.”

Thanks GOD!

A Call…worth serving THE ONE called YHWH.

the life of Christ brings life to the harvest...
the Body of Christ brings HIS harvest..so don't eat your seed, PLANT IT where it will bring LIFE!

What is our calling?  What is our destiny?  What is the reason for our lives to be more than the daily grind we often ? Here is a clue worth considering:

Matthew 10:5-16 (The Message)

5-8 Jesus sent his twelve harvest hands out with this charge:

“Don’t begin by traveling to some far-off place to convert unbelievers. And don’t try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.

9-10 “Don’t think you have to put on a fund-raising campaign before you start. You don’t need a lot of equipment. You are the equipment, and all you need to keep that going is three meals a day. Travel light.

11 “When you enter a town or village, don’t insist on staying in a luxury inn. Get a modest place with some modest people, and be content there until you leave.

12-15 “When you knock on a door, be courteous in your greeting. If they welcome you, be gentle in your conversation. If they don’t welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way. You can be sure that on Judgment Day they’ll be mighty sorry—but it’s no concern of yours now.

16 “Stay alert. This is hazardous work I’m assigning you. You’re going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don’t call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as a dove.
