Being a good Steward...

Some more Scripture from study & prayer regarding a recent Ministry I had with a group of men titled: Stewards of the House of God.

Matthew 28:16-20 and Mark 16:14-20 In these verses Jesus did not say, go if you want to or feel like it or go as long as you like the people your sent to share the Gospel with...He said GO, go proclaim, go demonstrate, go declare, go and show forth & display His virtues, power and Love-1 Peter 2:9. Also see Isaiah 43 & 44 where the Lord says several times that we are His witnesses!

I like the Saying I heard from a Minister some years back...God's Word is not some cafeteria line where you go through and pick & choose what you want!

Ephesians 1:10-with a view to an administration (Administration-the management of a household or of household affairs, specifically, the management, oversight, administration, of other's property, the office of a manager or overseer, stewardship.) suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth.

According to 1 Peter 1:23 we have been born again by the imperishable & immortal seed, that is by the living and abiding Word of God. We have also been given & entrusted as stewards with this living and active Word, for ourselves but then to share and make disciples of all men-Matthew 28:18-20, and to show forth His excellencies-1 Peter 2:9

Also interesting that someone mentioned that it's time we spread out our tent. I asked him where he got that and he said it was something the Lord had been showing him. I asked the Lord to please show me in Scripture a clear direction that I should take in this endeavor. He directed me to many verses but this is the very first Scripture the Lord showed me: IS. 54:2,3 "Enlarge the place of your tent ; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations And will resettle the desolate cities.

Romans 8... The Son's of God are led by the Spirit of God...How important is this? It goes on to say in 8:19 that even the whole of creation waits eagerly for the revealing & disclosing of the Son's of God!

Sellers see more green with low-cost improvements

Very good article for property owners who embrace green-friendly options in their homes and that they often see a return on their investment, especially since Texas buyers are interested in environmentally friendly property features. Among home buyer respondents, 49% said that heating and cooling costs were “very important” environmentally friendly options in the homes that they purchased. Energy-efficient appliances and energy-efficient lighting were also key features, with 30% responding that these were “very important.”

A common concern about creating a greener home is its cost effectiveness. Even small, inexpensive steps can increase a property’s energy efficiency, including:

• Replacing latches on windows and doors that don’t shut all the way
• Replacing weather stripping
• Using compact fluorescent light bulbs
• Replacing faucets and showerheads with low-flow options

Sellers that make these upgrades means they can promote these additions while selling their home and attract buyers who are looking for greener options.

 Find out more about what motivates your green clients in the article “Are you environmentally sensitive?”

Celebrate Bach's birthday?

Today is the day we celebrate Johann Sebastian Bach's birthday but was he born on this day? When you compare the Julian calendar Bach was born under to the Gregorian calendar now in effect, he was probably not born on this date but later toward end of March 1685. That's okay though because many birthdays of famous folks such as Washington & Thomas Jefferson are not on the dates we acknowledge them!

Now generally regarded as one of the main composers of the Baroque period, and as one of the greatest composers of all time, I will enjoy today because there will be more than enough of Bach's music played in celebration of his 327th birthday! 

And I thought my 59 th birthday was a milestone...

Why pray and or end your prayer in the Name of Jesus?

Colossians 3:17 Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

 

Why? Because as John 1:1-5 states, 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

And then in v. 14-And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us,

and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

 

From the old Testament all the way through Jesus was heralded as the coming Redeemer. In the new Testament John the Baptist stated he was the Lamb of God that has come to take away the sins of the world-John 1:29

 

Because of just a few Scriptures we can see that all things were created by Him, through Him and all for Him, Hebrews 1:1-3. No one else could have ever paid the price of the perfect sacrifice and shed perfect, without sin blood for our Salvation and deliverance, Hebrews 4:15!

 

It’s no wonder that Acts 4:12 states:

And there is salvation in no one else ; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.

 

Also we see in 1 John 2:21-23 & 1 John 5 that those who claim that we all have the same God are wrong per what God says about it! His Word clearly states in these Scriptures, along with Acts 4:12 that Jesus IS the only Name and Way!

 

These are but a few of the myriads of Scripture that point to Jesus, the Author and Pioneer of our faith. He is the living Word, the Creator and I hope that you will search and find other Scripture that lifts up and Glorifies the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and share them with others.

 

We can not nor should we ever get into the position of trying to force someone to pray in Jesus Name but share in Love the Gospel of Christ and why Jesus and Him alone deserves all our praise, honor, obedience and love. As Romans 1:16 states-

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

 

The Grace of our Lord and savior be with you,
