These are my new friends, Richard and Louise.  Why?  Because that's the way God wants it.  He is in the business of restoring relationships.  That's what righ teousness is all about. The definition of righteousness is "right standing", right standing before God and man. Most often when we hear about righ teousness, we hear about right standing with God.  That's only half of its intended definition.  It's right standing with God and man.   Now, it is true that we are the light of the world. Salt and Light (Matthew 5) 13You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.… And light shines bright in the darkness....

Anyone out there that thinks that God is distant?  That he doesn't speak?  That he does not heal?  Do you question who God really is?  How does Jesus fit into my world view? Hopefully this will change your mind. A friend of mine asked if I could join him and go pray downtown in Rochester, NY.  He is interested in helping the needy down there and wanted to begin praying in the area.  So we went.  We ended up just outside the Genesee Brewing Company.  Not very far away, the area is very bad.  There were burned out buildings and not very many people.  Things were abandoned.  However, right smack in the middle of where we began to pray, there is an elementary school. We met in the parking lot of that school and began to walk around and pray.  There are things that we saw that brought prayers to mind.  We prayed for the city.  We prayed for the presence of God!  We prayed for generations to rise up and come to ...

I didn't expect to get a text message from Jesus, but he must have a cell phone plan... I wrote about this before and I'm completely assured that God speaks to us today.  He also shocks me with the ways that He chooses to do it.  He can use anything.  He knows us so well.  He hears us and He responds.  The question is, "Are you listening?"  We must learn to tune our ear to the voice of THE SHEPARD. So here is what happened.  Over the last several weeks, I've been choosing fear again and letting it overcome me when God is calling me to pray for people or share the Kingdom with them.  I've passed so many people up.  It breaks my heart when I think back on it.  I've sensed that something was wrong but I didn't know what to do about it.  So last Saturday, my family and I went to our church (The Father's House) and listened to the Pastor talk about Parables. http://tfhny.org/media_category/parables/   (message 3). ...

God has been teaching me about our relationship over the past few months.  He is revealing to me the interactions that He desires to have in me (and in you).  After the cross, the door to Heaven opens above us so that we can be used to carry His Glory to this world.  The Holy Spirit resides deep inside and it is our duty to trust in His word with belief and action in order to create a place for His glory to land and therefore Heaven to collide with Earth.  It is not enough to just believe.  We must act, rather enact our faith, knowing who He created us to be (SUPERNATURAL).  This reality must sink deep into our being until it cannot be separated from our own understanding and thoughts.  By stepping out in faith that Christ in us is the Hope of Glory, miracles will happen.  The Bible says they will. John 14:12 Verily , verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall ...

What does it mean to be a man?  What does it mean to be a Godly man?  What do they think about?  How do they behave?  What do they believe?  What do they do?  These are the thoughts that have been resting in my spirit over the last year or so (off and on) and I thought that I was doing well, until... My wife and I (mostly my wife) homeschool our kids.  She is so inspiring to me.  She's really thrown away what she has learned that was not the truth and engaged in the batlle for the hearts of our kids.  Superwoman!  A shining example of Provebs 31.  We moved away from our hometown.  We changed what we believe (by that I mean, we were both brought up Catholic.  However, we go to a Non-denomination church now, but even in that there is a distiction.  We read the Bible and do what it says, sometimes even despite what we've been taught.)  Sometimes it feels like its just us against the world and its true....
