Special thanks to all the men and women who have ever served in our military. May we remember those in our past, present and future who give all so that we can be free.

A video tribute to those making it to Arlington National Cemetery. May we remember those 300,000 who are buried there and also all those buried in little towns and farms like ours all across this great country.

God bless them and God bless America!

May 31, 2010 ~ Greater Love

Let us not forget their love or the love of Christ...

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends"

John 15:13

Today is Memorial Day in America. It's a time to honor all those who have given their lives in service for our country. As we remember what these brave men and women did, let's honor the gift they have given us by choosing to show greater love to others.

Selah people' and friends I'm so thankful that Jesus loved us enough to lay down His life so that we could spend eternity with Him. He was the ultimate expression of love. But did you know that there are ways you can lay down your life to express your love to others? When you let go of having your own way, or when you put the needs and desires of others above your own desires, that's a form of laying down your life.

Today, choose to follow Christ's example by putting others first because love is all that matters in eternity.


OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY: "Father God, thank You for another day to praise You. Thank You for being the ultimate example of love. Help me follow Your example and lay down my life for others. Let everything I do bring honor to You. In Jesus' Name. Amen"

Your brother in Christ,
Patrick

May 29, 2010 ~Finding Your Heart's Desire

Is your heart growing to be more Christ filled?

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

Delight yourself also in the LORD, and he shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37:4

At first glance, the words from Psalm 37 feel to me and perhaps you a bit like a blank check. They seem to say, "Enjoy God and get everything you want." But instead of a promise of prosperity, the words are a proclamation of a profound truth:

The closer you draw to God, the more your desires will reflect his own.

This oft-repeated verse is part of an acrostic psalm, where every other line begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Although each verse in Psalm 37 contains its own important message. Those people who are wise have no need to worry during times of trouble. This psalm give you four practical ways to defeat worry when evil people seem to be getting ahead:

1. Trust in the Lord.
2. Commit your way to the Lord.
3. Wait on the Lord.
4. Delight in the Lord.

Selah people' and friends the focus of the psalmist's words is delighting in the Lord. The Hebrew word for delight is much more powerful than its English counterpart. Here it means "to find exquisite joy." To delight in God is to find your deepest pleasure, your highest ecstasy, and your richest fulfillment in life through your relationship with him. This is an ongoing process as you delight in him afresh each day. As your relationship deepens, what is dear to God's heart becomes dear to your heart. This aligns your prayers with God's will. As your prayers are answered, you discover that your deepest desires are fulfilled.

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Loving Father we pray that anytime we desire something that we know would also delight You, that we may spend a moment lift praise and thanking You for helping each of us to grow and become more like you. Continue to create in us a clean heart and mold us into your creation. In Jesus name we pray. Amen."

Your brother in Christ,
Patrick

May 28, 2010 ~ Are You a sheep or a goat?

Helping Hands, Healing Hearts...Goat or Sheep?

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

I tell you the truth, anything you did for even the least of my people here, you also did for me.

Matthew 25:40

Jesus' disciples questioned him about eternal life and the end of the world. Jesus answered their questions with a series of parables, concluding with one about a herd of sheep and goats. In it, the Son of Man condemned the goats for not meeting his needs: leaving him hungry, thirsty, naked, and lonely when he needed their help most. The sheep were commended for doing what the goats did not - and were surprised by their reward. They didn't remember serving the Son of Man. The words of Matthew 25:40 set the record straight.

Any time people reach out to help on of God's Children in need, they actually minister to God himself.

This parable is a dialogue between Jesus and the nations of the world, not those who already followed him. That's why the sheep were so amazed. They didn't recognize Jesus or the significance of their actions. They weren't acting out of a desire for reward. They were simply living out God's image in their lives by exhibiting sacrificial love- without even recognizing what they were doing. That truth is why the sheep had a lesson to teach those who already knew God personally.

Selah people' and friends this parable assumes that those who follow God will be benevolent and that they will automatically treat others as they would treat Jesus. Experience my friends teaches, however, that isn't always the case. When you notice someone in need, recall Jesus' parable. Be a sheep, not only saved, but motivated by God's love and grace.

OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:

"Heavenly Father, we know the parable of the sheep and goats is a reminder of how eternally significant is every act of love. Allow it to help you to more clearly see Jesus in every person you meet."

In Christ service,
Rev Patrick Muston
