I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit Power. The die has been cast. I
have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I Am a Disciple of Christ. I Am a Disciple of Christ and will not look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. I Am a Disciple of Christ and my past is redeemed, my present makes sense and my future is secure. I Am a Disciple of Christ who is finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, pained vision, worldly talking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals. I Am a Disciple of Christ and no longer need preeminence, prosperity, position, promotion, plaudits or popularity. I Am a Disciple of Christ and do not have to be first, top, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith. I Am a Disciple of Christ and lean on Christ’s presence, walk by faith, am uplifted by prayer, and labor by His power. I Am a Disciple of Christ and my faith is fixed, my gait is fast, my goal is heaven, my road is narrow, and my way is rough. I Am a Disciple of Christ and my companions are few, my guide is reliable, and my mission is clear. I Am a Disciple of Christ and cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I Am a Disciple of Christ and will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of the adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I Am a Disciple of Christ and will not give up, shut up or let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and taught up for the cause of Christ. I Am a Disciple of Christ and must go until He comes, give until I drop, teach until all know, and work until He stops me. When Christ comes for His own, He will have no problem recognizing me. My title will be clear; I AM A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST.

Thoughts on the 2017 iPhones

Apple released the iPhone 8 a week or so ago.  Apple will release the iPhone X on November 3, 2017.  This is part of Apple’s current annual release of updated phones with better screens, more battery life and a better processor.  I bought my iPhone 7 plus on release day in September of 2016.  I went to the Apple store and bought it.  When thinking about whether I need to update my phone this year, I need to consider a few things. First, is my phone functional or did I break it?  My phone is in good working order.  The screen is not cracked, the non-existent home button still works.  Volume and power and silent switches work.  Mechanically the phone is in good shape.  It took the IOS 11 and IOS 11.01 updates without a problem. The next question is this:  what do I use my phone for and will a faster phone with a better screen help me do these things? Podcasts:  I listen to many podcasts on my phone.  I listen to a mix ...

Thoughts on Father Brown

There is a show on the BBC that is on American Netflix called Father Brown.  It takes place in 1955 in England, so World War II is still fresh in their minds.  Father brown was in the infantry in  World War I, then became a priest and was a chaplain in World War II.  Now he is an overweight, blading, gentle priest in a small British town. The humor of each episode is that when a crime occurs, the police are notified and Father Brown is usually already there for some other reason.  So Father brown gets involved.  The police jump to conclusions, arrest the wrong person and Father Brown, amateur sleuth, pokes around and figures out the truth and the police look foolish. Once he was arrested for obstruction of justice, during his time in the jail, he figured out who sabotaged the town race and solved the crime.  The district police gave him a commendation, so now the local police tolerate him better. In this show, having a priest as a main character ...

Thoughts on God Speaking

God speaks.  Not often, in an audible voice from the sky, but he does speak.  In the Bible he spoke with a voice, he showed pictures and visions and dreams to people.  Today people speak of impressions in their spirit or mind, which was not talked about in the Bible. Today, I believe that people claim God speaks much more than he does.  The primary reason I say this is that God does not need to speak at all.  God has said all that is needed in his Word, the Bible.  We have everything that is required for life and godliness in the pages of our Bibles.  Bibles are not hard to get, except in anti-God countries, yet we still manage to smuggle them into every country and people group.   For those that claim God is a veritable chatterbox I have to wonder what value that brings to their life.  People who claim to hear God’s voice all the time do not seem to have greater biblical understanding.  In fact, people who hear God’s voice all ...
