UPDATE ON BUBBA

Bubba is doing well all things considered. In fact, considering the grace of God, Bubba has a new lease on life. We are praying that infection will not set in and we are doing all within our ability to ensure that it does not but our dependence is upon the Lord. Below is a link to 2 pics of his leg. WARNING: They may be graphic to some.

Thank you all for your prayers and Praise God for His goodness.

To Pics.

PRAY FOR BUBBA

I and my family are asking that you pray with us for our son Bubba. He was cleaning his gun yesterday and shot himself in the leg. The bullet entered and exited his leg twice running along a downward angle. The Lord was gracious to us in that no arteries were severed and the bone was not hit. This alone is a miracle but the bullet is another miracle. It did not do as it was designed to do. It was a 40 calilber hollow point that failed to mushroom. The bullet actually landed in his boot. We are thanking and praising God that all is well but we are also asking that no infection results. We will be visiting the surgeon later today to double check the work of the ER doctor. He has at least a month of recovery ahead of him but praise God we still have him. I'll be out more so this week than normal but I appreciate your prayers.

CHARLES BARKLEY: HYPOCRIT

Check out this LINK where sir dunks-a-lot spewed garbage from the dumpster. Uh Charles, you have done what you declare that the conservative Christians have done. But, it is all well and good when the Left does it for after all, the rules only apply to the Right, at least that is the way the Left would have it.

I also guess that by Charles' logic, liberals are the real Christians. Charles, a real Christian is one who follows JESUS CHRIST. And in case you have not heard, Jesus did tell people to go and sin no more, which means that they were sinning. But He did not come to condemn sinners to hell, He came to save sinners from hell and part of that saving surely means that the Christian now follows Jesus as master and not sinful lifestyles. This means, Charles, that abortion is a sin that can be forgiven but it is sin none-the-less. This means, Charles, that homosexuality is a sin that can be forgiven but it is sin none-the-less. Making sin legal or illegal, Charles, does not make it any less or any more sinful.

Stick to giving basketball tips, Charles. It is obvious you know nothing of the Word of God.

HAVING YOUR CAKE AND EATING IT TOO!

Check out this link:

Adoption of Islamic Sharia law in Britain is 'unavoidable', says Archbishop of Canterbury


How well do you think the reverse would be received in the Muslim countries? I say it would be about as well received as screen doors on submarines by the Navy. Just wouldn't happen would it?!

WHERE'S MARY?

Revelation 5:2-5 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of th elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

For all those who would contend that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was sinless, these verses prove to be a devastating blow. In fact, for all who would espouse any other savior than Jesus have a very difficult time in getting past these verses. The search for any person worthy to open the scroll eliminated not only those in heaven but those on earth as well. Amongst this crowd, even Mary was not found worthy. To espouse to others that she is to be sought through prayer for favors is patently blasphemous. There is only One who is worthy of worship, honor and glory. There is only One worthy to open the scroll and it was not Mary. While she was blessed among women, the title Blessed One is only reserved for the Christ.(Romans 9:5)

For that matter, we can also ask where Mohamed, Krishna, L. Ron Hubbard, Confucius, Paul, John and others were when this question is asked. Truth be known, NONE are worthy. There is only one worthy and it is the Lamb of God who was slain for our transgressions. Salvation is not by accident but it is by the purpose of God and only through His Son.

Reader, do not trust the inventions of men for salvation when the plan of God is so perfect yet restricted. Man's works do not achieve the righteousness of God. Righteousness is imputed to us through Christ and Christ alone by faith and faith alone. When this passage in Revelation makes it so clear that Christ is the only Holy One, why would you seek after another? Turn to Christ while it is still day. Turn from idols before the night falls. Mary cannot save you, but her Son can. Mary cannot change your heart. Jesus can and will if you will but call upon Him for salvation.

There are no other options for there is none in heaven, none in earth and none under the earth worthy to save you than Jesus Alone.

MARDI GRAS MADNESS

I live in the Gulf Coast region of the state of Louisiana. With the exception of Contraband Days, this is one of the biggest events in our area. Fat Tuesday, as it is celebrated down here, is a time of excess. It is a time of excess limited only by legislation and imagination. In fact, some laws are "overlooked" during this time so as not to spoil the fun and revelry. Fat Tuesday is a time to throw moderation to the wind and indulge one's self with the complete knowledge that the day after, known as Ash Wednesday, everything will be made right. In other words, sin does not account for much on Tuesday because it will be absolved on Wednesday. Or, we can sin today because grace will abound tomorrow.

The names of such Krewes as Bacchus, Endymion and Zeus, among others, ought to be a hint of what one could and should expect during this event. Gods and goddesses are venerated and celebrated with such enthusiasm as to convince one that they really exist. Oh c'mon Luke. These are not being worshiped. This is just a lot of people having fun. And my retort is this, "What fellowship does Jesus have with Baal?" As the people of God, we are to be separate from the base elements of this world. In the world, yes, but not of it! And what can be said of sinning today knowing we can have grace tomorrow? Romans chapter 6 is Paul's answer to such. GOD FORBID! To sin under the presumption of grace speaks at best of carnal Christianity and at worst, sin darkened hearts with no real knowledge of or relationship with the Light.

Do not envy the ways of southern Louisiana and Mardi Gras. Rather, pray that the true children of God would come out from this practice and recognize what a shame this is to the Only True God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
