From Birth We Are Sinners

Psalms 58 and Isaiah 48:8 talk about our rebel birth, and it is such a shameful truth. We are born sinners, that is not a new fact to our Heavenly father. I read in Matthew Henry Commentary and it summed us up by saying, " They go astray from God and their duty as soon as they are born, (that is, as soon as possibly they can); the foolishness that is bound up in their hearts appears with the first operations of reason; as the wheat springs up, the tares spring up with it."
Its amazing how we began to go about our selfish, lustful, and decietful ways even at the age when we first learn to reason. What do we have to gain from rebelling from God? Nothing, but we do it anyway

Look, the one whose desires are not upright will faint from exhaustion,  but the person of integrity will live because of his faithfulness "Habbakuk"

Sunday Message From Pastor Molden

Notes from pastor molden

The second year, the Lord spoke this message through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak: The Indifference of the People The Lord who rules over all says this: “These people have said, ‘The time for rebuilding the Lord’s temple has not yet come.’” So the Lord spoke through the prophet Haggai as follows “Is it right for you to live in richly paneled houses while my temple is in ruins? Here then is what the Lord who rules over all says: ‘Think carefully about what you are doing. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but are never filled. You drink, but are still thirsty. You put on clothes, but are not warm. Those who earn wages end up with holes in their money bags.’” The Instruction of the People “Moreover, the Lord who rules over all says: ‘Pay close attention to these things also.

Scripture reading from haggai:

•God desires and commands that he comes first

•God will not take second seat
•No other God before me

•#1 God should b in each of our lives

•where a man's treasure is, his heart will be also

•How can we not take time to bow before the king of glory?

•where each of us r today is because the favor of God is on us

•God gave material blessings to those that put him first

•the only way we fully enjoy the fulness of spiritual blessing is putting God first.

Opportunities Come And Go, So Be Ready!!!!

Opportunities present themselves at different times and places and spaces of your life. All you can do is prepare your self for the opportunities that will arise. I find myself at this time in my life preparing for what I believe will be a huge door opening in a arena of life that I know I am gifted by God to be in. But if I don't prepare myself, and think I'm just gonna sit here and say, "God move me where you know I need to be." without putting in the work to better myself, I would be ignorant. Instead I put in time and dedication, cultivating the gifts that God has given me so that when he allows me to have the opportunity, I can shine and give him the glory for the gifts he has so graciously given.

That principle applies to any gift in the life of anyone who recognizes there God given gift and says, Lord I am going to do all I can to use this gift you have gave to the best of my ability. I'm trusting that you are going to open the doors that are needed to be opened to take me where you want me to go to uplift and encourage whomever you need to encourage thru the gift you have so graciously given me. God is faithful and will never fail at opening the doors for us when we say, ok Lord I'm ready to trust and depend on you and have the faith in you, that you are going to bless me in the area of my gifts.

Too often we try to use our gifts the way that others use them. We want to be just like Jonny Lee and Sally Sue. Well why would you want to be a carbon copy, when God has exclusively made you an original. The Encouragement for you is to Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path! That's a promise from the word of God. Remember these words and apply your God given gifts to everyday life, and you will truly see good fruit produced in your life. Be blessed, strengthened and Encouraged.
