“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect living in harmony with God and peace towards men. Herein thou has done foolishly; therefore from henceforth thou shall have wars.” Comment: King Asa of Judah started out well but did not end well! He began to trust men more than God! It is vanity to trust in men! We are all flawed mortals! God is constantly recruiting men and women to work in his Kingdom here on earth! In the college grid and National Football League recruiters are constantly going out scouting to find the best players! However God’s recruiting program is just the opposite! God will recruit the worst people and turn them into winners! The crazy man walking among the tombs Jesus delivered from demons and he was the best evangelist for his home town! The woman who had five husbands and living with another guy unmarried was delivered from her sin and became a great evangelist for her village! Lazarus after being raised from the dead had an effective ministry in hospice! Mary Magdalene had some devils cast out of her by Jesus and stood by Jesus at the Cross while the other disciples fled and hid out! God always takes the worst and turns them into the best! Who would chose Peter a fisherman with a hot temper and a sharp knife? Who would chose Thomas a doubter? I will not believe unless I can see and touch your scars from the Cross! Why did not Jesus recruit from the Theology seminaries? The religious folks put Jesus on the Cross! Saul of Tarsus was the only exception! God choses people who are wise enough to know they need help! I need his help everyday! He is not my crutch but my Savior! God helped King Asa defeat his enemies! Then Asa began to take credit upon himself for the victories God had given him! He began to steal God’s glory! He robbed God of his praise! Humility moved to pride! Judas stole money from the Temple treasury to betray Jesus! He robbed God and lost his soul! Do you rob God of his tithes and offerings? Be a man or woman after God’s own heart! Remember God loves his enemies! Relinquish all that you could ever be on your own and give yourself to God! God gave himself for you on a Cross! Could you give yourself to him? All of you? If you trust yourself you will lose! If you trust God he will show himself strong for you! In your weakness you will find his perfect strength! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

The Good The Bad and The Ugly!
We were in a Methodist Church yesterday on Nevada Avenue here in Colorado Springs. We were looking into a ministry offered there. I like old churches since they have a lot of history behind them! They had a missions room where I really love to hang out! This church supports a church in Russia. They had photos of the church in Russia along with members from here who have gone there to help with the work. In one photo it shows the picture of the pastor from here with the Russian pastor shaking hands in the Russian church office. Really nice except for one thing? In between them hanging on the wall was a portrait of Lenin? Then I remembered the church in Russia is state run! In fact the Bishop of the Russian Orthodox church lives in the Kremlin with Putin! Where is Putin’s portrait in the church? I personally would make a dartboard out of their portrait’s and move their images to the church recreation room where the children could throw darts! We cannot change1500 years of church history in Russia but we can give them the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Thankyou. James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
Another Weiner in Washington!
Yes, the hot dog stand is open again in Washington and has cooked up another weiner! The latest ugly head to rise up in Washington is Representative Wu. The good news is that a majority of our leaders do not do this stuff and are Faithful to their families and their country! We do have some representatives who walk around up on the hill like the insane on steroids! The Bible says that those who are faithful in small things are faithful in much! The Bible also says our sins will find us out! We cannot hide from God and we cannot hide from man. Sooner or later who we are will come out! We all need to repent of our sin and turn from our wicked ways! Let God replace your Sin with His righteousness through Jesus Christ our Savior! Thankyou.
