“Do ‘YOU’ Obey – 101”…Blog.

“Do ‘YOU’ Obey – 101”…Blog.

“No matter ‘what’… you say about…JESUS... it is Your ‘Actions’… that speak for You!”

· (Matthew 7:20) Therefore = by their fruits = you shall know = them.
· (1Samuel 15:22) And Samuel said, = Does Jehovah = delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices = as in = obeying the voice of Jehovah? = Behold, = to obey = is better than sacrifice! = To listen = is better = than the fat of rams!
· (Romans 3:8) Or can we say-as some people slander us by claiming that we say-"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is deserved!

This is written… especially for those that ‘SAY’ they… ‘Know God!’ Here in America, it is a ‘Cultural Thing’ to say that one believes in Jesus. They celebrate Christmas and Easter and yet are missing the… “Quintessential”… which is “Simply Obedience to God and His Word, The Bible!

· (1Corinthians 2:14) A person who isn't spiritual = doesn't accept = the things of God's Spirit, = for they are = nonsense = to him. He can't understand them = because they are spiritually evaluated.

This is the Key… for all those that say that they… ‘Know Him!’ IF… you say you are His… and do not Obey His Word, “The Bible”… THEN… are you really His…? “NOT!” The Key is being ‘Born Again’ by the Spirit of God, i.e. The Holy Spirit! Then and only then… are You… His! Those that are His… Obey His Word! Those that are not… Do Not Obey His Word!

· (1John 2:3-4-5) And by this = we know = that we have known Him, = if = we = keep His commandments.
· (1John 2:4) He = who says, = I have known Him, = and = does not keep = His commandments, = is a Liar, = and = the Truth = is not in him.
· (1John 2:5) But whoever keeps = His Word, = truly in this one = the love of God is perfected. = By this = we know that we are in Him.

It is a matter of… Truth! Whose Truth? Man’s or God’s. IF you use Man’s Law, it will always fall short of the Law of God! [i.e.] The Word of God! Most people are mildly religious. They will speak glibly about God: and yet, seldom if ever… ‘Read and Study’… His Word! How about You? No, I am not accusing nor excusing you, this is for you to be… honest with yourself!

· (2Timothy 3:7) ever learning = and = never able = to come to = the full knowledge = of the Truth.

All of us… have to meet some performance level in life. We started out taking tests in school and homework. Later in life we bowed to the social pressures of society by either dress or actions. In work, we all had to meet a certain requirement to get hired and bonuses or raises were based on merit. Advancement takes place when those over us recognize our potential and promote us.

So too it is… in the Spiritual Life. Did you know that Christ Jesus spoke about the multitude that followed Him? Of those, that claimed to know Him… how many actually… followed Him in Obedience? What ‘quantity’ did Christ Jesus, say… “Few = Some = Many”… would really be His?

· (Matthew 7:21-22-23) Not everyone = who says to Me [Jesus], = Lord! = Lord! = shall enter = the kingdom of Heaven, = but he = who does = the will [The Word] = of My Father in Heaven.
· (Matt 7:22) Many = will say = to Me = in that day, = Lord! = Lord! = Did we not prophesy = in Your Name, = and = through Your Name = throw out demons, = and = through Your Name = = do many wonderful works?
· (Matt 7:23) And then = I [Jesus] = will say = to them = I [Jesus] = never knew you! = Depart from Me, = = those working lawlessness!

‘Many’ would Not… Be His, even though they were religious and said, they were His! That is pretty tough, is it not? Here in our society, we often put what a person says… before what they really are. It is a part of our society to say one thing… and do something entirely different. I believe that is called… “Lying?”

Those simple Drug Tests… for Olympic Athletes… prove in fact if they are competent to compete. Too bad the rest of the… “Entertainment ‘Sports’ Industry”… will not conform to such a standard. Remember all those ‘Champion’ players that took… “Steroids to Win?” They received “No Punishment”… for their crimes. What ‘message’, did that send to… “US All?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgiR04ey7-M

Can’t we all… just get along? Surely you remember, ‘Rodney King?’ Is that how we are to govern our lives, to become ‘Jell-O’ and fit into the mold they provide for us? Thank you, but No Thank You! Just how long will you accept the Lies before you… “Just don’t care anymore?”

One Simple Question…? Will ‘any’ society on the face of this planet… ‘Be better off’… or… ‘Worse off’… “By Keeping God’s Commandments?”

All those government... “Bail Outs” would not have to have taken place if people… Only Obeyed… “Exodus 20:15 You Shall Not Steal!”

“Sex – 801”…Blog.

“Sex – 801”…Blog.

Disclaimer: I post this blog in hopes that if you are “under 18”, = That you will not read this without parents or legal guardian’s… ‘Permission’. I will discuss some issues, that are of an Adult nature. Thank you for your compliance and consideration.

First please allow… me to have you note the… ‘801’… instead of my normal format… ‘101’. I did this to have you realize… the moving moral shift… to the left… in even proposing such legislation as “Prop – 8” voted on, by the California voters.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prop_8

Can anyone simply… turn on the… TV, the News or even a Video… without viewing a… “Perverted Sexuality”… is being portrayed as, “Normal?” Since when, in past American History… did we extend to one… any special protection or ‘Elite Status’… based on ‘Personal Sexual Status or Preference?’ Never before… and yet the media wants to change our thinking to do so. “Not Me…!”

Perhaps a demonstration… of what exactly I mean. Today a… ‘Legal minority status’… is extended to those choosing… “Any sexual identity”… even to the exclusion of… gender identification, via DNA Certification. Even such things as a surgical operation to… change gender status… does not change the… “DNA Facts”… as to your real physical gender.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Lewinsky_scandal

Our late president Clinton… escaped any legal impeachment because in his brief to congress he took it upon himself… “To define his understanding of the term, Sex.” In doing so, millions worldwide heard him say… “I did not have Sex with that woman!” He redefined Sex to save his Presidential position.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slippery_slope

Often Lawyers… use a term called, “The Slippery Slope!” In allowing something as fact even though it is conjecture… you may open the door to… even more conjecture. But what MOST do not realize is that this is the very issue behind… “Gender Norm-ing” based on Sexual Preference.

“A slippery slope argument states that a relatively small first step inevitably leads to a chain of related events culminating in some significant impact.”

Ok for those… who ‘do not’ know history or ‘want to’ know history… worldwide… “MARRIAGE... is defined as the union between “A Man and A Woman!” Only in recent history has the “Homosexual Agenda” put forth their pressure on society to change this definition.

In a sweep… of any legislature in any state can… “One who has a ‘same-sex’ agenda”… be given status as married. You may approve… or disapprove of such actions as I do. Based on what God says in the Bible, especially… “Romans Chapter One”…He will ultimately judge us all in His time…! If you have never read it… please do so and see what God says about why they are what they are.

IF you have ever… studied the History of Rome its “Rise & Fall”, you will know that… One of the Caesars… even choose… “A Horse”… as a ‘Domestic Partner’. Here is the… Slippery Slope! IF… we allow the definition of Marriage to be changed based on “Sexual Preference”… THEN… are we ‘then to allow’, that same status to a… “Non Human Animal?”… as the Caesars?

Just imagine the… employee health insurance for a domestic partner. If one chooses a dog as their… ‘domestic partner’… is the employer to pay the… “Veterinary Health Bills”… for that animal? Just where does that stop? Oh you say, ‘that could never happen’. Oh yes, that is what they said about… “Same Sex Marriages”… just 50-years ago.

Do I have… ‘Your Attention?’ What will you do about it or do you just think that this thing will …just blow over? Every type of evil… “does not just go away”. As it gets worse… and it will affect society in ways you cannot imagine. “Rape” has been changed to be sexual battery. Murder is simply called, ‘man-1 or 2’. Spoiled meat never gets… “Unspoiled!”

How about you… take some time and think this through? Then decide what you will do when you have the opportunity to… “Speak Out!” Mankind will not evolve into a better man or woman. Each and every one of us… “Need The Savior… ‘Christ Jesus!”

· (Romans 1:19-to-32) For what can be known = about God = is plain to them, = because = God Himself = has made it plain to them.
· (Rom 1:20) For since the creation of the world = His invisible attributes-His eternal power = and divine nature-have been = understood and observed = by what He made, = so that people = are without excuse.
· (Rom 1:21) For although = they knew God, = they neither = glorified Him as God = nor gave thanks = to Him. = Instead, = their thoughts = turned to worthless things, = and = their ignorant hearts = were darkened.
· (Rom 1:22) Though claiming = to be wise, = they became fools
· (Rom 1:23) and exchanged = the glory of the immortal God = for images = that looked like mortal human beings, = birds, = four-footed animals, = and reptiles.
· (Rom 1:24) For this reason, = God = gave them over = to impurity = to follow = the lusts of their hearts = and to dishonor = their bodies = with one another.
· (Rom 1:25) They exchanged = God's Truth = for a Lie = and = worshipped and served = the creation = rather than = the Creator, = Who is blessed forever. Amen.
· (Rom 1:26) For this reason, = God = gave them over = to degrading passions. = Even their females = exchanged = their natural sexual function = for one = that is unnatural.
· (Rom 1:27) In the same way, = their males = also abandoned = the natural sexual function of females = and = burned with lust = for one another. = Males committed = indecent acts = with males, = and = received in themselves = the appropriate penalty = for their perversion.
· (Rom 1:28) Furthermore, = because = they did not think it worthwhile = to retain = the full knowledge of God, = God = gave them over = to degraded minds = to perform acts = that should not be done.
· (Rom 1:29) They = have become filled = with every kind of wickedness, = evil, = greed, = and depravity. = They are full of envy, = murder, = quarreling, = deceit, = and viciousness. = They are gossips,
· (Rom 1:30) slanderers, = God-haters, = haughty, = arrogant, = boastful, = inventors of evil, = disobedient to their parents,
· (Rom 1:31) foolish, = faithless, = heartless, = ruthless.
· (Rom 1:32) Although = they know = God's just requirement-that those = who practice = such things = deserve to die-they not only do = these things = but even applaud = others = who practice them.

“Change – 101”…Blog.

“Change – 101”…Blog.

Most of us… have resigned ourselves to the closing of the… ‘Yahoo 360’S’… and have moved to other sites. Too bad they didn’t provide us with a better format than the one they gave us. Too little… to Late, but that is what Change is All About…!

The only thing… we can count on about life is “Change!” Yes, even change from your dollar, or should I say dollars? The cost of everything is going up, ‘seldom to ever go down.’ Well what about gas, it just went down from last year? Yes is did… but for just how long? Do you think it will never… go back up again? Change!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6i1ywioIm0

Such is Life… as we grow older, and hopefully… ‘more mature in person and character’. The adolescence frivolity that we once experienced and practiced… has as the fleeting fog…Evaporated! Maturation hopefully has taken its place, only to bring on more Change.

I used to run… and now I have to walk with crutches. I used to soar like and egal and now I just “keep on… keeping on”. Change has taken over all of life. It is called, “Entropy” the second law of Thermodynamics. What is that? Simply put all of nature is in a state of decay. Never does anything in nature… evolve from old to new.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

You sound discouraging… speaking about such things. Well do you then expect for me to lie to you? Is that what you really want? What I am speaking about is not Change for the worse… but to… “The Change of Opportunity”. Like a fine wine or cheese ages, so we too age or should I say mature… in most aspects of our life experiences.

You will… whether you want to or not! Life is for you… to test you… to allow you to know what you are really like. Having settled my ‘eternal destiny with GOD’… I can now take the worst with the best. Most have put off that decision… and so consequently respond to situations… instead of seeing them as… “Opportunities!”

(Hebrews 2:13-14-25) And again, "I will trust Him [GOD]." And again, "I am here with the children God has given Me [JESUS]."
(Heb 2:14) Therefore, since the children have flesh and blood, He himself also shared the same things, so that by His death He [JESUS] might destroy the one who has the power of death (that is, the devil)
(Heb 2:15) And might free those… who were slaves… all their lives… because they were… terrified by death.

Are you ready… for Change? Or will you just let it overtake you… and roll with the punches? “To be forewarned… is to be forearmed”. “A good offense is better than a good defense”. Or one of my favorites… “When all else fails… drop back and… Punt!” Have a good weekend!

“Multitasking 101”…Blog.

“Multitasking 101”…Blog.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_of_all_trades,_master_of_none

Benjamin Franklyn said… “A Jack of all trades, a master of ‘ONE’! As most of us… are computer literate and so we simply multitask. But what is multitasking? We may have two or three internet links open at one time. We may have multiple programs open… word, bookshelf, E-Sword, or many others at the same time. All dependant on the amount of “RAM” that we have on our computers. Over ‘multitasking’ may cause your computer to run slow or freeze up.

While surfing… I often open several different browser tabs, and listen to something, while on my Yahoo Blog. This is only possible with enough RAM. This technology, is like a ‘table top.’ You cannot sit 12-people at a table, only designed for ‘4-people.’ You cannot open numerous books, on that table top, if there is not enough room, unless you double stack those books, limiting your view.

“RAM”… Random Access Memory, is the best investment you can make for your computer. It is on sale and as prices come down, it is worth the small investment for the ‘peace of mind’ while using your computer. It aids tremendously while ‘Multitasking’! I have ‘2-Gig’ on my old one [8-years old], but ‘4-Gig’ on my new one that run at over twice the speed of my old ram.

Before computers… we all multitasked, but called it something different. We had ‘multiple projects’ going at the same time. I love to cook, and often start a recipe that has some extended cooking time, like my ‘Homemade Chicken Soup’ which I am making today. When I clean the house, I wash the kitchen floor and while it is drying, I clean the bathroom, and I call that multitasking. [Domestic Engineering!] …LOL!

At our workplaces… our bosses may have ‘Piled us up with Others Work’… as our workplace… ‘Downsizes’… people have an increasing work load. This additional stress has become… ‘normal’… as the attitude of management is… ‘Do IT… or look for another job!’ Yes, multitasking has become part and parcel of our daily lives.

Do any of us… Excel in ‘One Specific Area’? Some professions require extended schooling and advanced degrees. That one you have now, you will bring into eternity. I am not speaking about what we do or who we are to everyone else, but the one that is… ‘Inside You’!

Do you Excel… in your relationship… “With GOD”? Are You studying His Word daily? Do you keep your heart… solely in obedience to Him and His Word? Do you even make an effort to… Put Him First? With what He has done for your through Salvation, what you do for Him, is only your… “Reasonable Service!”

(Luke 16:13) "No servant can serve two masters. = For either he will hate one = and love the other, = or be loyal to one = and despise the other. You cannot = serve God = and riches!"

“Blame – 101”…Blog.

“Blame – 101”…Blog.

Today Many do not… accept ‘Blame’ for any problems they have caused. Like the Bart Simpson cartoon saying… “Not ME!”… They have eluded any responsibility for… anything! When someone will… ‘Blame them’… for their actions; they without any accountability… “Will excuse away their actions”… and then ‘ultimately blame you’… for your insensitivity to their problem and your critical spirit.

This is often… used in negotiations especially of the legal nature. The so called… “No Fault Divorce”… that has destroyed ‘the family unit’ in many countries, is to blame for sure. From the strictest legal sense, a verbal contract, ‘wedding vows’ was made, before witnesses and with licensing. How then could the legal community… ‘Circumvent Justice’… and rename it… “No Fault Divorce?”

Judicial Tyranny often… is extremely prevalent in many areas of our government. Here where I live in Florida, a county commissioner was arrested for buying ‘Cocaine’ from an undercover cop. The amount was large enough to sustain a charge of… ‘Intent to distribute!’ But they settled out of court via ‘plea barging’.

With only… “200-hours of community service, resignation of his position and counseling”. Straight forward… “Judicial Tyranny!”… Without Justice. Had you or I done such, we would have served time in a Federal Prison. What message did that send about… “Justice?” Simply a dual standard, one for them and one for us!

So 'Actions' like this… have contaminated our Legal System. You may see the same on the national level as federal judges… overturn Legislative rulings signed by the Governors. It has gone from the highest position of this nation to the lowest. We all remember President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. I was traveling overseas at the time and the USA was the blunt of every joke in the media and in conversations in public!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiIP_KDQmXs

How did he… get away with those actions? Simply in his legal brief, ‘he defined’, what he understood to be sex. So it is today, many… ‘Define their terms’… to shield themselves from… ‘Any Accountability’… for their own actions. Like the ‘bait & switch’ that stores use in advertizing and selling of merchandise. Sorry, the shipment did not come in, but we have these…!

Our Language changes… to accommodate this… “Pandemic of Unaccountability!” How many times have you heard of someone being sued? It happens all the time, as no one wants to be accountable for their actions. Most states have mandated automobile insurance. Drivers now carry… ‘Uninsured motorist insurance’… to protect themselves. Here in Florida, the ‘FDLE’ stats indicate that upwards of… “35% are driving, without insurance.”

Does anyone… get away with Anything? Yes, in this life they ‘may and do’, as the illegal drug trade is in the Trillions of Dollars… Yearly! Only a small percentage gets caught and it is usually the street level dealer. But soon… all of us… will have to give an account… “For All of Our Actions!”

Did you as… a student, cheat on a test? Did you have someone write your Term Paper or do your Research Project? Or worse, did you… “Plagiarize”… the work of another, as your own? Did you not complete your work and blame it on equipment malfunction? How about that… ‘Red Light’…that you sped through? A list like this… goes on and on and… On! "LIES...?"

“Well I got… away with it for so long, I might as well continue”, was what the bank robber said. Twenty two banks were not enough; it was the ‘Ego Trip’ that spurred him on and on till he got caught. Perhaps he never heard… “You Shall Not Steal?” ‘NOT’… as each of us know it is wrong to steal.

Where am I going… with these thoughts? Each of us will have to give an account for our actions. How about starting today? “Sooner or Later”… the garden we have planted will come to harvest… more bountifully than we have planted. “There Are NO… ‘Famine Harvests’… with Sin!”

· (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. = Fear God, = and = keep His commandments. = For this is = the whole duty = of man.
· (Eccl 12:14) For God = shall bring = every work = into judgment, = with = every secret thing, = whether it is good, = or whether evil.


· (Acts 17:30-31) Though God has overlooked those times of ignorance, = He now commands = everyone = everywhere = To Repent,
· (Acts 17:31) for He = has set a day = when He = is going to = judge the world = with justice = through a Man = He has appointed, = and = He has given proof of this = to everyone = by raising Him [Jesus] from the dead."

“Who are ‘You’? – 101”…Blog.

“Who are ‘You’? – 101”…Blog.

If I had… a dollar for every time I saw someone posting a Quiz about… “Are you like XYZ”… I could retire! Facebook is famous for these kind of Polls and Questions. What is wrong with people lately? Has everyone lost their identity trying to be… “like someone they are not?”

What is wrong… with just being yourself? Next you will tell me it is none of my business… just because I look like… “Elvis Pressley!” Did you catch that? I purposely spelled “Presley” wrong! And no, I do not look like Elvis when I have my Elvis Wig off! …LOL!

The Look Alike… craze seems to have… ‘Affected’ & ‘Afflicted’… Many! Are you so insecure that you need to look like someone famous? What has happened to our society that we need to identify with someone else, instead of being secure in ourselves? Self Esteem has all but Evaporated!

Thanks to the Media… we are fed a constant diet of… ‘What to Believe & How to Think!’ Anyone falling outside of their parameters… is lacking! Yes, I am lacking, but what? The ability to conform to whatever they tell me! …LOL! Sorry, I am not stupid and will not pretend to be either!

I have some… shits that were expensive. I simply shopped the sales and have some $35 shirts that I paid… $7 for on clearance. Simply shopping the… 'high end stores'… and looking for "bargains". Does that make me a ‘non-conformist’ or just… ‘wise’? Remember the advice you heard in this song? You were told too… but chose your own way!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQGXa3FiXKM

Yes the song says… “Shop Around!” It does not say… “Sleep Around or Hook Up!” Perhaps if society would adhere to some moral standards there would not be so much… advertizing of products for vaginal infection product or herpes anti-viral products on… TV! Remember the saying… “An Ounce of Prevention… is worth A Pound of Cure!”?

Recently the missing… 'Air France Plane' seems to have overtaken the News. Do you know that your death… could happen just that quick, without any warning? Say it isn’t so? ONE cannot Live… till they are Prepared to Die!

IF you were… to be told that you had moments to live, what would you do? Those passengers on that flight were given no warning of their impending death. Living every day in the same patterns of life makes one complacent about… ‘Eternity!’ Who you are now… will be who you are for… Eternity!

You will take… with you all the wrong and loose all the right for… Eternity. Just being good is not good enough. There are no… ‘Divine Scales’… weighing the good and the bad. Most do not think about… Eternity… till they are confronted with death. There are many and women that still have not resolved the death of either or both of their parents.

Are you prepared… for Eternity? How about it, have you even thought about… ‘Eternity?’ In not doing so… are you prepared to spend Eternity with your deceased parent or parents? Do you know where they are now? There are no second chances in the Grave.

Who will you… identify with now? Do you enjoy looking or believing you look like some celebrity? Will that get you a free cup of coffee or a free soft drink? Perhaps it will in this life, but what about Eternity? Who is it you really need to identify with…?

As we are… all sinners, than it is logical and of common sense, that we all need a Savior. Well I don’t need your religion… you may say. Sorry, I do not have a religion, but a relationship with God the Father… by the finished work of His Son… “Christ Jesus!” I am found in Him and will be with Him throughout… Eternity!

That same hope… may be with you, only if you will confess that you are a sinner and need a Savior. Simply take today and the opportunity to think about your… Eternity. Where will you spend it…?

· (Matthew 28:17-to-20) And when they saw Him, = they worshiped Him. = = But some = doubted.
· (Matt 28:18) And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, = All authority is given to Me = in Heaven and in earth.
· (Matt 28:19) Therefore go = and teach = all nations, = baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
· (Matt 28:20) Teaching them = to observe all things, = whatever I commanded you. = And, behold, = I am with you = all the days = until the end of the world. Amen.

“But… ‘Some’… Doubted”? …How could that be, after having seen the “Risen Christ?” Are you… one of those that doubt… what He has said in His Word? Perhaps you should confess that to Him and ask Him to be your Savior and Lord. Just talk to Him in your own words… He will hear you!

“Obedience – 101”…Blog.

“Obedience – 101”…Blog.

As a child… we are taught and try to learn the concept of… ‘Obedience!’ Something simple as… ‘Don’t Touch That’… for a little child is a lesson that we all have learned. Some learned quickly and some only after trial and error. Yes, I still remember the burns on my fingers for touching that… ‘Hot burner’. Curiosity got the best of me and… ‘Obedience’… took a back seat. I soon immediately learned the reward of… ‘Obedience!’ …Not getting burned!

In school… most of us learned obedience from the Teachers instructions. Those that did not do soon… failed the tests. College courses and Technical School also had the same requirements… in order to pass and get certification. Again, all areas of ‘instruction and learning’ are all based on ‘Obedience’. Without that obedience… “2 + 2 would Not = 4” …LOL!

During any employment… many further requirements were linked to ‘Obedience’. A bonus for production and a monitory reward for constructive suggestions was simply an extension of that ‘Obedience’. There were always, those that seemed to be complaining about what they did not get and why. Of course their… production output… was always the ‘least & last’. They never seemed to get the concept of ‘Obedience’.

So it is too… in a “Marriage or Dating relationship”. ‘I will pick you up at 7!’ Were you ready at ‘7’… or were you purposely late, as your way of… controlling the relationship? Someone always has to be in charge. There cannot be… ‘Two Bosses!’ …LOL! It is always easier to follow, than to lead! The leader can only do so… when they too, have learned… ‘Obedience!’

In the surgical suite… it is the Doctor that leads the team. I used to do “Medical Gas Analysis” during surgery. In almost every case, I always interfaced with the Surgeon and his charge nurse to inform them what the Hospital was having me do, in and during the surgery. In all cases, after appealing and explaining to the… “Authority having Jurisdiction – i.e. – The Doctor”… I was given permission. ‘Obedience’ to him was paramount as he was in complete charge of the Surgery.

I could go… on and on with stories upon stories. But I think you get the point. Most of us at sometimes… ‘balk’ at the authority and their decisions. I too have been there! Of course the option to leave is always there. But at what cost? Leaving means starting over and over and over. A simple learning of ‘Obedience’ will alleviate the constant… repetitive behavior.

Do you drive…? Most of us do and we are required to ‘Obey’ the traffic and safety rules of the road. That is why you have to get a Drivers License. You then have no excuse for… ‘not obeying’… the Traffic Laws! The penalty is a fine, points and even a loss of driving privileges. Simple ‘Obedience’ is the key. Most companies double your ‘Insurance rate’ for speeding violations.

All of these… life experiences are simply to teach us… ‘Obedience’. A friend of mine and his brother were swimming in a lake where… “No Swimming”… signs were posted. It was a drainage lake and was attached to the storm water drainage system. During a storm, his brother was sucked down a drain and drowned! Simple ‘Obedience’ would have saved his life and his older brother from a lifetime of lost memories.

This morning… like each and every morning I start out my day by reading. Reading what? The funny paper or one of the magazines that come in the mail? Absolutely not! I have dedicated the first of my day to… ‘Hearing God’… through His Word, the Bible. For many years I have followed the example of Christ Jesus… as He met with His Father… each and every… morning.

· (Mark 1:35) In the morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus got up and went to a deserted place and prayed there.

I like to… learn and enjoy doing so as I am constantly learning, ‘Obedience’. Many times the Bible will show you the mistakes and wrong decisions were made by a person and the consequences of those decisions. I find no other literature, either modern or ancient… that is so very candid about… ‘Obedience’. It is so much easier to learn from the mistakes of others.

Did you ever… make a bad financial or emotional decision? Only afterwards wished you could have… taken that decision and actions back? We all have, as it is part and parcel of Life! Some learn by their own mistakes and others… learn by the mistakes of others. Which one causes you… less stress? The ‘mistakes of others’ is my choice to learn. 'Obedience' is the simple key.

How does Obedience… affect your life? Do you have a teen who wants to have his or her own way? Do you have a demanding Boss, who gives you grief because he or she… cannot handle the stress of their position? How about a Mate… who wants something… you do not want to give? Remember none of us… is free from Obedience… till we Die!

If you have ever… read the Bible, you know about all the Laws, Statutes and Precepts God gave to His chosen people, The Jews. These words from God were to keep the nation on the right track. Something as simple as the… “10 Commandments”… were given by God. All these were to show everyone else… that they were His chosen… kept and protected by God.

They had contained… in them a “Promise from God”. Obedience was required, not suggested. Nowhere are they called the… “10-Suggestions.” God promised blessings for Obedience and… Cursing for Disobedience. Simply, “Do Good… and I, God… will bless you”. “Disobey… and I, God… will Cures you”. How easy is that!

Who is the… greatest example of ‘Obedience?’ Christ Jesus is, as He was “Always Obedient” to the will of God the Father. He Christ, being God in the flesh, became willingly ‘Obedient’ to God the Father. So you think you have it tough in Obedience to someone over you? Try being asked to die for those that will hate you, as Christ Jesus did! The Key to Obedience… is Love!

· (1John 5:3) For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not difficult,


· (John 10:17-18) This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it back again.
· (John 10:18) No one is taking it from me; I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This is a command that I have received from my Father."


· (John 12:49-50) For I have not spoken on my own authority. Instead, the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and how to speak.
· (John 12:50) And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me."

Think about… ‘Obedience’… today! Remember… “Love is the Key to Obedience!”
