Blessings: by Laura Story is the song of the month

It is not blue grass, but it is a song we need to hear.  Listen to the words.

Hell Is Real ( But I Hate To Admit It )

Fresh out of seminary Brian Jones did not believe Hell existed, but his view has changed.  Click the title above and read his story.

Sleepy Man Banjo Band

Saw these guys were going to be on Huckabee's show, so we taped it and I was quite impressed.  The young man playing the banjo is 9 years old and has been playing for 3 years.  I hope to one day be able to play like him.  Enjoy.

Have We Left Our First Love

The President of the Southern Baptist Convention asked those attending their annual convention have they left their first love.  I think that is a question we all need to ask ourselves.  Click on the title above and read the article.

Song of The Month-The Statler Brothers - Shenandoah

Yes it is in black & white, this is from 1969 most TVs were still black & white and programs were not filmed in color. I know there are no banjos involved, but I like this song and I like this group. Enjoy the song of the month Shenandoah by the Statler Brothers, if you get a chance watch the movie which stars Jimmy Stewart.

In Honor of all who have fallen.

All gave some, some gave all.  Be mindful of the sacrifices made on our behalf as you go through this weekend.  Be in prayer for those who have lost loved ones and be in prayer for those in harms way.

Still Here

Now what?  It is May 22 as one person put it the world did not end, and all the good people I know are still here so the rapture must not have taken place either.  I figure along with relief there are a lot of people who are really mad right now.  There were people who spent their life's saving to share the message that the rapture would take place, and woke up still here this morning.  Somewhere in their anger they end up being mad at God.  How could you let this happen after all I did for you, after all I gave up for you.  How does this happen how do we end up like this?

In this case they were guilty of focusing on a man, Harold Camping, who said for the second time in his life that he knew the end was coming.  First time, when it did not occur,  was a miscalculation, now we hear that he is bewildered because the rapture did not take place.  Harold Camping made a convincing case and sounded good, but if people would have just looked at God's word they would have seen the errors. 

Matthew 24:36, "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone."  That does not leave room for one man to figure out not only the day, but the hour as well.  Jesus, Himself, was saying at that point that even He did not know.  I know Camping explained this away in his teaching, making it sound like a believer could figure this out.  If a person would have truly looked at this passage, if they would have looked at what the Bible says will occur after the rapture, they would have seen the weakness in his teaching from the start.

Instead of being mad at God, and asking Him how this could happen, it is time to be answering these questions for ourselves.  When someone comes along teaching something that is "new" and sounds really good check it out.  Look at the Bible and see what God has to say about it.  In fact maybe we need to follow the instruction of Ephesians 4: 14-15 as we face the coming days.  Not sure what that says look it up and see for yourself.  Have a great day.
