There are many different types of paths such as a dirt path, concrete path, narrow paths made only for walking, etc Then there is Satan’s path or God’s path.

The following information is taken from Ephesians Chapter 3:

SATAN’S PATH: Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient. Fornication (Adultery, sexually activity without marriage), Uncleanness, and covetousness which is idolatry. To be a Christian you will need to put off: Anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language, lying, and stop the influence that Satan has on you. God gives us the right to make choices. If you make the choice to do the above mentioned, just know you are walking with Satan.

GOD’S PATH: Therefore as the elect of God (Obedient Christian), holy and beloved put on: Tender mercies, kindness, humility, kindness, humility, meekness, and longsuffering. We need to bear with one another, forgive one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave us, we must also do. And above all this, put on love which is the bond of perfection. Let the peace of God dwell in our hearts. Let the word of Christ dwell in us richly. We need to teach and admonish each other.

Whatever we do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. If you make the choice to do the above mentioned, you are walking with God.

Have a good week!! SMILE God loves YOU.

A new twist to a blog from Grace And Works. Something a little different. Something that, believe it or not, has a point. So hang in there and let’s have some fun with this. Most of these are golden oldies–feel free to laugh!

You have beautiful hair.

You have a twinkle in your eyes.

Would you like to dance?

Can I buy you a drink?

Would you like to go out for dinner?

If I told you you have a nice body, would you hold it against me?

What time do you get off work?

What kind of work do you do?

Did you come here by yourself?

Nice outfit!!

You have the sexiest dimples.

I told you these were going to golden oldies!! You see I’ve been married for almost 50 years and I’m a little out of touch as to what Pick Up Lines are today. Now that you have come this far with me, I’ll make my point.

God has the greatest Pick Up Line ever!! If you will repent, be baptized, and obey my commands, I’ll build you a home and take you there with me. How’s that for an all time great Pick Up Line?

Have a GREAT week!! SMILE God loves YOU!!

I was looking at a neighbor’s tool shed the other day and it was piled to the ceiling with “Stuff”. I’d wager they don’t have much of an idea what is in there. I’m sure there are some of you in the same situation. Some, however know exactly what is in the shed. There are all kinds of things we put in there, fertilizer for the plants and yard, lawnmowers, tools, holiday supplies, clothes, pots and pans, hedge trimmers, extension cords, jumper cables, and the list goes on. There are times the shed needs cleaned out and you think to yourself, what am I going to do with all this “Stuff’? Maybe a yard sale? Maybe we’ll just give it to the garbage man? Maybe just give it away? After all one person’s junk is another person’s treasure. Whatever the case, it just has to be gone!!

Now for the REAL question. What about your personal tool shed? What do you have stored away? Grudges? Sorrow? Family issues? Job problems? Health issues? Money woes? Discouraged? Depressed? Drug/Alcohol problems? Homosexuality? Just what is in there? You can probably add to this list. Soooo, what to do? You need to clean house. Call the garbage man? NO. Have a sale? NO. Give them to someone else? NO. Who would want your problems? They certainly aren’t treasures for someone else!!.

After you have given this much thought, you call on God. You start talking to Him through prayer and one by one He accepts your garbage. Pretty soon you have your “house” cleaned. God will never leave you or forsake you no matter how bad things seem to be. Get all the stress out of your life!! Start now and you’ll be surprised how quick God has all the issues and you are free from the burdens.

Have a good day all. SMILE God loves YOU!!
