Watch Where you are Stepping

Vicki and I have been walking a lot lately, and as we walk, it is amazing how we have to watch where we are going. Even in our suburban area with nice sidewalks and walkways, there are always challenges like low hanging tree branches, uneven pavement, flying insects and always there are the remnants those irresponsible pet owners who leave landmines to avoid.
Life is a lot like that. We need to watch where and how we walk. Psalm 1 says "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked." Psalm 119:45 says "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts." In the New Testament, the Apostle John encourages us to a new kind of walk. In 2 John 1:6 he says: "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love."
So, as you are walking through this journey, watch your walk. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and walk with love toward God and Others.
Grace and Peace,

Blogging Again!! September 2009

Well Hello!
It is good to be back with you all. The Last time I blogged was back in August of 2008. I believe I need to be using this tool a little more - so here goes!

I was recently listening to James MacDonald (Walk in the Word Ministries (www.walkintheword.com) and he preached a sermon with the title "Are you Saved?"

I was thinking about this and I realized that this is not just a good question, but it is
"The" Question. Are you saved?
Are you saved from a life of meaninglessness? A live which has no real purpose? A life chained to sin? A life that is the epitome of death? A life with no relationship or impact? A life and death that are destined to be apart from the very God that gives life?

If you are Saved, praise God! Now live like it!
If you are not, I have only one course of action to recommend for you:
It is the same advice Paul and Silas gave the Philippian Jailer,
"Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household." (See Acts ch. 16)

Why not now?

Grace and Peace:
Pastor Ron
