Dear Father in Heaven: I love You very much. Thanks for covering my sins with the Blood of Jesus when He died on the cross for me and all others. What a great gift You gave to all of us that day. Thanks for a great day of singing and sharing Your love on this day. Please help us on this mid-week day we call Salvation Wednesday to be able to help lead the lost to the cross to be saved. All honor and glory to You for the new mission You have given to Carry The Light Ministries. I pray we carry this out the way You want it done. Now Lord, please help me with the message and to get it dispatched. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, I am so excited, I am so excited since God is once again laying a mission over to Carry The Light Ministries. As you may or may not know, Carry The Light Ministries has many different missions under our umbrella. Well, listen to this. We are teaming with Volunteers of America as they are purchasing homes and then rehabbing them and giving them over to the our homeless veterans. Right before the house is turned over to the veteran and their family, we, Carry The Light Ministry, will be stocking the kitchen with food. Can you say Praise The Lord? Right now one home is to be opened in Harrisburg on Lexington Street. They are planning on rehabbing 100 houses across the state of Pennsylvania. I am asking all of you to pray about this for us. God is leading me to tell those in charge at Volunteers of America that we would like to handle all 100 homes. With the help of God and your prayers, we can do this, even at our age. If you think this sounds exciting and is a good way to work with God feeding the needy, please let us know. Drop us a note, give me a call. These are homeless veterans, they would get the house free for the first couple of years, giving them time to get on their feet, and then they would be expected to purchase the house from Volunteers at the original price that they paid for it before rehab. Please pray for us, please pray for us, and let us know how you feel about this mission. Thank you. I am so excited I am going straight to the message, The Cross.
Salvation Wednesday: March 11, 2015: The Cross (Day Three)
1 Corinthians 1:18 - For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand miraculous signs, Greeks look for wisdom, 22 but we preach Christ crucified. (NIV)
If I were to write that first verse, I would write it like this. "For the non-believer the message of the cross does not mean a thing, and those foolish people will spend everlasting life in the fire of hell." While there is still time for we who are saved by the Power of God to get those non-believers to Jesus to be saved, that would require them to get over their foolishness. In verse 20 we see the question, where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? I believe we call them non-believers, the high and mighty who are trying to throw our Jesus out of everyplace. That pHD will not mean a thing in Heaven, for the pHD does not cause a person to believe, FAITH DOES. Faith in our Lord Jesus. I have hear the statement, and you more than likely did also, "That person is well read!" Well, let me tell you they can read all the books ever written except the Bible, and if they do not have faith in Jesus, all that learning will go to waste. Well, praise the Lord, I do not have a Bachelor's or a Master's in anything, I do not have a pHD and as I have told you, I never even read a book, but I do read the Bible and I do believe in THE CROSS, and I do believe that my Jesus died on that cross. Yes, I do not have the pHD, but I have JESUS, written with my name. I have these things that help spell Jesus. Faith, Hope, Grace, Peace, Salvation, and most of all LOVE, and if we put them together, we spell JESUS. Someone please shout Amen!
Dear Father in Heaven, I have faith, I really do, and I love You. Save me, Lord, save me. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and share your love and blessings. Love ya, and please share my love also.
Pastor Dan
