Wow, I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything on this Blog. Facebook has taken up the extra time That I wanted to use for the Blog. I am now realizing, or should I say being convicted, for the need to voice my heart, and the Blog seems to be the more appropriate forum.
So with that being said, my hope, my prayer is to post my convictions, and hopefully point, or lead people to the cross. I want to share a couple of paragraphs, that we read yesterday at a mens breakfast yesterday at West Monmouth Baptist, that really convicted me.
People will believe the message when it is delivered by a messenger whose life demonstrates that he knows God and takes God seriously.
If we are Christians, we have living in us all of God's provision for a broken world. Christ, living in us, will make a difference through us. If people around us are not being affected by Christ, we must consider whether there is sin in our lives hindering Christ. If so, this indicates a heart problem. Christ is not truly our Lord if he is not having his way in our lives. If we are Christians and no one's life is being changed because of our presence, we have a immediate need for repentance.
Are there people who are now a part of Gods kingdom because you shared God's good news with them? Can you identify people God placed in your life to encourage you to persevere in your walk with God? Allow God to make you that person in someone else's life.

January blues

Hi All,

Just wanted to give you all a Haiti update. We leave February 1st and as of now we are very short of our financial goal. Does that mean we won't go? No. It only means we won't be able to do many of the things we were planning. The medical clinics may have to be cut to just one, if that, which stinks because it is probably one of the things that ministers to the unchurched the most. I can't help feeling kind of bummed. I know God is in control of all this, I just wish people would trust God with the giving of their means. I know the economy stinks, but who or what are we all trusting in? As for me and my house we will serve the Lord. We are trusting God will provide every penny He wants us to go with. Maybe the lesson is for me. Maybe I need a loaves and fishes lesson. Please keep us and the Haiti trip in your prayers. However, if anyone would like to help the people of Haiti by sending a contribution, contact me at gabrams @ wesellcoffee dot com (rewrite the address) and I will provide you with a mailing address.

On a lighter side, Facebook. I actually have a Facebook page. And I have to tell you in case you don't already know, it's addicting. I find myself laughing at finding and being found by all these people you haven't seen or spoken to in twenty years. But as for all the chatty stuff and the farming deal, I don't get it. I must be getting old, or impatient, or like my father, or something like that.

WHATEVER...
