Godly or Godless?
You are not called to believe in your love to God, but in God’s love to you. Do not argue, ‘I cannot love God! I have striven to my uttermost to do so, but I have failed in all my endeavors, until in despair I have abandoned the thought and have relinquished the attempt’. But it is so–no effort of your own can strike a spark of love to God from your heart. Nor does God demand the task at your hand. All that He requires of you is faith in His love, as embodied and expressed in Jesus Christ to you the poor sinner. Octavius Winslow (1808-1878), Famous Evangelical Baptist Pastor to England and the United States. Comment: Do not try to be God! Let God be God in you! Let His Word, His blood and His Holy Spirit live in you! Let him take residence in you! Then His eternal love not your failing human love will be expressed to you and others! James and Hamsa Sasse.

Goals! Matthew 4:8-9
Jesus said what profits a man if he gain the whole world and lose his only soul? Remember the Devil offered Jesus all the Kingdoms of this world if he would bow down and worship him! We need a Godly goal! An eternal goal! Depending on our natural gifts we have different abilities. I will never play football in the NFL. I will never go to the Olympics. I am not a rocket scientist. I always enjoyed taking things apart and turning wrenches. I love preaching the Gospel but never had a full time job doing it. I love girls but they are very expensive! I like politics but it is too ugly for me! I would rather do a Bible Study than balance my check book! Math was not my best friend! We should all have one common goal! Reach the Kingdom of God! After this life an eternity awaits us all! Did you ever notice Jesus just had one goal. His goal was to prepare people for Heaven! To do that he had to die a ugly death on a Cross! He had to be raised from the dead! He had to ascend to his Father in Heaven to prepare a place for us there and send his Holy Spirit to us here on earth! How would I know if I had a Godly goal? I would have the same goal for you that I have for myself! My goal is to lead people to Jesus! I do not want to be set apart from Jesus seeking the Kingdoms of this world ending up separated from God forever! Also denying you access to Heaven by my rebellion against Christ! By creating an ideology that opposes the Kingdom of God! I want to share Heaven with you! My goal is that we both share Heaven together! Jesus said they will know you are my disciples if we have love for one another! Do you love the world as much as God does? Humanly impossible! But by his indwelling Holy Spirit all things are possible! Why not give your goals to God and let him sort them out in his eternal plan and purpose for your life! If you fight God’s plan and purpose for your life you will be miserable! If you confederate yourself to him then you will have joy forevermore! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Communion Services!
Your meditation may be as profound, as exalted, as devout as you like; you may practice every pious exercise you can manage, but all this is nothing in comparison with the Blessed Sacrament! What we may do may be Godly, but this Sacrament is God Himself! Johannas Tauler, German Theologian (1300-1361) Comment: Great voices out of the past remind us that the present day Communion by a believer in Christ is not about what we have done or could have done it is about what God has done for us is what counts and will last forever!

Kentucky Blue Grass Marriage License Clerk Wins Derby!
I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is really expressing the highest respect for the law! Martin Luther King Jr. Comment: Not all laws are Godly!
