Friday 8/28/15 Love (4)

Dear Father in Heaven: I love You and I ask forgiveness of my sins. Please help me each day with the messages and help me get them dispatched. Please watch over all those in the eye of the storms coming toward America and keep Your people safe, not just in America but in all areas as these storms hit. For that one online that wants to lose weight, help him, please, Lord. It is not easy to lose weight when You provide us with so many good things to eat. Father, help us as we age to keep our focus on You. Please help me now with the message and to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Dear brothers and sisters, I just want to tell you it is with  joy that God has returned me to the keyboard. I do want to clear up a few things before I start the message. Carry The Light Ministries, INC. is closed. The food pantry has been closed and all remaining food has been donated to other food pantries. The name of Carry The Light will still be used as it has been in place since 1993 when we went on the road singing. We are praying that God will give us enough health back to go out and do a few sing-alongs at retirement homes. With that said, we are NOT looking for people to send money in support of Carry The Light. If your love is to support food pantries, there are many that could use your help. Checks sent to Carry The Light Ministries WILL BE RETURNED. We truly appreciate all the support you have given us over the years and we still want that support, but please limit it to PRAYER support or if we put out a call for help moving things that would be appreciated. We will be relocating computers and might need help moving them. I will keep you posted. Again, we really do need your prayer support. I will also try and keep you up-to-date on our health issues. Now to the message!

Friday: August 28, 2015: Love (Day Four)

Proverbs 16:6 - Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil. (NIV)

Our Lord Jesus went to the cross for one reason and one reason only and that was to die for us. When Jesus was put on the cross to die our sins were hung on that cross with Him. Through that love, that love of God The Father giving us Jesus to die for us we have been forgiven. Through that love and that faithfulness of our Lord Jesus to carry out the will of His Father in Heaven our sins have been wiped clean. And we hear a lot about having fear of our Lord. If we have a real fear of the Lord we can avoid evil. So why should we fear God who love us so very, very much? It is a reverent fear of God as He does love us, however we still will stand before Him on judgment day.

Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (NIV)

If you are like me and you look around and wonder just how long God is going to let this go on, meaning the way the world is today ... I have no clue, but when I look around I know I want to be ready when He calls me. Whether He calls us one at a time or we are here when the trumpet of the Lord sounds we need to be ready. I am so happy that God looked ahead in time and saw this kid named Danny who He just knew would need his sons cleared and He cleared them for me. I am only sorry that I did not come to the Lord sooner in life. Brothers and sisters, a sinner I am, but God has cleared me of those sins because I have asked Him to do it. Are you clear of sins today? Have you asked God to clear you? How about joining me now and have a clear start today?

Dear Father in Heaven, please clear me of my sins this day. I love You and I am sorry I mess up. Thanks for forgiving me. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.

Now go forth praising the Lord and loving Him. Love ya.  Pastor Dan. And today we go out singing ...

This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made, that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it, and be glad in it.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it.
This is the day, this is the day that the Lord has made.

Be back on Sunday!
