Good afternoon and Happy Saturday. As we continue in the month of I Am Calling You Out in November based on 1st Samuel 13:13-15, Matthew 23:25-30 and Hebrews 2:1-4 one of the most precious metals in the world is gold. Most of the time when gold gets to us, the consumers, it has gone through a process to become what we as consumers like to see. One of the processes of raw gold becoming the gold we see in the stores in that it must be refined by fire. The test in the fires allows those who process gold the chance to make sure they only have pure gold with the finished product. We as people of faith also are precious in the sight of God. He has created us in his image, he has allowed to prosper and he has paved the way for us to have life forever. But in order for us to be the refined we we must go through some things so the finished product is as pure as gold. We have to be Tested By Fire ( Calling Out The Name of Jesus).
Sometimes in our lives we come across obstacles in our way that makes one want to give up. Sometimes it is the jobs that we have that makes our lives difficult. Other times there are family
issues that want to test our resolve and patience. Then there are physical and health issues that come in our lives that puts unwanted burdens upon us. But to be more like Christ we all must be Tested By Fire ( Calling Out For The Trinity).
As I get into the Word of God for this teaching of Tested By Fire I begin in Proverbs 17:3. In this verse it speaks how precious metals are refined by different fires but how God tests the heart. We
cannot be worried about how the holidays are going to be a strain as our finances are not the way we want them to be. Things always work out. Tested By Fire ( Calling You Out For The Trinity).
In going to the Word of God for another example of Tested By Fire I go to 1st Corinthians 3:11-15. In these verses Paul is writing to the church to let them know that we have the foundation in Jesus
and the works that we do to advance the Gospel of Christ. The works that endure the criticisms of how they sing, how they preach or teach will receive a reward and even those whose work was not that great will have access to salvation by being Tested By Fire (Calling Out For The Trinity).
As we finish in the Word of God of the teaching of Tested By Fire I go to 1st Peter 1:6-9. In these verses Peter writes about the various trials and tribulations that we have to go through to be have our
faith be genuine, meaning more precious than gold. So no matter what they say or thing about we can receive the salvation in our souls as the Holy Spirit dwells with us. Tested By Fire ( Calling Out For The Trinity).
In conclusion we have God the Father who create man in his image making sure that was we are Tested By Fire he is there to refine us all. We have Jesus the Son, who made the ultimate sacrifice for our sins who will let our work endure as we are Tested By Fire. And we have the Holy Spirit who dwells in our souls who will walk with us as we are Tested By Fire. No matter what is happening in your life at this moment that seems to be impossible to get out of you are being Tested By Fire and You Can Call Out For the Trinity to help you. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching and appreciate the Holy Spirit coming in and leading me a whole other direction as I was writing. Have a great weekend. Please join me Monday for my teaching on the last base scripture of the month, Hebrews 2:1-4, called Do Not Neglect Salvation.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
