The LIVING GOD #LIBERTY
While my children were growing up, many a day, they heard me say, “There is #liberty in #law!” Their quick reply, “I know Mom.” (they didn’t want to hear another explanation such as the beloved pets have safety perimeters and so do you) God has given us the freedom to choose His laws or run amuck. Take a look around today! James 1:25 “One who looks intently at the perfect law, the LAW OF LIBERTY, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man shall be blessed in what he does.” Do we test our boundaries from time to time and slip/slide through days of wandering through the fog of distress? God has made a way of LIBERATION, if we choose..”Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the LORD. HE WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON him; …GOD will abundantly PARDON” Isaiah 55:7 GOD brings good news to the afflicted and brokenhearted and PROCLAIMS LIBERTY to captives and freedom to prisoners..Is 61:1 “Now the LORD is the SPIRIT; where the SPIRIT of the LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.” 2 Cor.3:17
Seven Steps To Happiness
19870531 Seven Steps To Happiness - Rev. Tommy Jones
In the middle of #Winter, right after #Christmas we become susceptible to a sort of #malaise or #depression. Really it can occur at anytime. But what did Jesus say was the key to happiness? Is it what we have? Is it what we do? Is it what we are? The Beatitudes are the part of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus said Blessed are the ____ . Did you know blessed means to be congratulated or happy? What does poor in spirit mean? What does meek mean? These sayings don’t make sense when we compare them to what the World says will make us happy. But, who knows better what will make us happy, the Creator or the created?

Peace Instead of Problems
The LIVING GOD #SPEAKS
#”Words, Words, Words, I’m so sick of Words” is a line from the musical My Fair Lady and is relevant for today as we are bombarded with loud -pompous- egotistical- opinionated voices from all media. Where can we turn? John 8:43 “JESUS SAID, Why do YOU not understand MY SPEECH? 46. I SAY the TRUTH so why do you not believe ME? 47. He that is of GOD HEARS GOD’S WORDS” We choose what shows, channels, stations we like and want to hear. I enjoy a good story with a twist or hidden meaning. Jesus was the storyteller Matthew 13:34,35 “JESUS SPOKE TO MULTITUDES in parables.…‘I will open MY MOUTH in parables: I will UTTER things hidden since the foundation of the world” Enjoy reading those parables which GOD SPOKE and listen to His Still Small Voice. “A Word properly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver” Prov.25:11
Walking With God
19870524 Walking With God - Rev. Tommy Jones
Every #NewYear many of us renew or start resolutions. What better #resolution than to walk with God? What are some of the reasons that inspire us to walk with God? What does the name Methuselah mean and what can it show us about God’s patience? What kind of vision did Enoch’s faith give him? What does fear have to do with wisdom? God promises to order the steps of one group, which one? What can we learn from how long Enoch walked with God? What challenges did he face that are similar to ours? I hope that ours is the generation that sees the church taken up like Enoch but if not, we can still meet up afterwards.

Peace in the New Year
The LIVING GOD #COMMANDS
#Time flies. I have friends who are now in their 90’s and I have seen their adult walk with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. What an example of faith, commitment, and loyalty they have been and still are during sickness, health, wealth, losses, heartaches, and happiness with Jesus as their COMMANDER. With the start of each new year, we make a list of resolutions that we think will improve our lives; however, how long has it been since we looked at GOD’S list of COMMANDMENTS? His Word is timeless! Ex. 20 “YOU shall have no other gods before me. YOU shall not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on earth …YOU shall not worship them or serve them for I the LORD your GOD am a jealous God, visiting iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate ME, but showing lovingkindness to thousands who love ME and keep MY COMMANDMENTS. YOU shall not take the name of the LORD your GOD in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain. YOU remember the sabbath day to keep it holy…. You honor your father and mother that your days may be prolonged in the land the LORD your GOD gives you. YOU shall not murder. YOU shall not commit adultery. YOU shall not steal. YOU shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. YOU shall not covet …anything that belongs to your neighbor. JESUS GAVE US NEW COMMANDMENTS: Matt. 5 ” Love YOUR enemies and pray for those who persecute YOU….(When YOU pray in secret YOUR Father who sees in secret will repay YOU) John 14:15 “If YOU love Me, you will keep My COMMANDMENTS.” John 15:10 “If YOU keep My COMMANDMENTS, YOU WILL ABIDE IN MY LOVE, just as I have kept My Father’s COMMANDMENTS, and abide in His love. 12. This is My COMMANDMENT, that YOU love one another, just as I have loved YOU. 14. YOU are MY friends, if you do what I COMMAND YOU .” GIVE GOD YOUR TIME….
