Ghandi

Quotes by Ghandi...." I like your Christ, but, I don't like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ". " If Christians would really live according to the teachings of Christ, as found in the Bible, all of India would be Christian today". Mahatma Ghandi lived from 1869-1948. He was known for his internationally esteemed non-violent protest doctrine. He was interviewed by a reporter that asked him what he thought about Western culture? He replied " I think it would be a good idea". " Be the change you want to see in the world". " Hate the sin and love the sinner". " To believe in something and not live it is dishonest". Young India, was a journal that was published, in English by Ghandi from 1919-1932. Page 274 in the April 24, 1931 edition, stated 3 different times that GOD saved me, as spoken in these writings by Ghandi. He led the struggle for India's independence from the British colonial rule. In 1927 he mentioned that his own conscience was GOD in this same journal. This whole study I did tonight was brought to my mind by a bumper sticker that I saw on a car as I was driving down Patton Avenue here in Asheville, NC. It was the quote I started this blog off with. I am deeply troubled with the sin that has come to Asheville, NC. I am troubled that Asheville is becoming a safe haven for sin. Sin is exactly what separates us from GOD. Sin is boldly ruling the hearts, minds and souls of America. You ask what is happening to our children, marriages, churches, preachers, Christians? I tell you Sin! Sin! Sin! Christians walk around like the world owes us something. We cry and whine about our inability to be accepted by society. We walk around with defeat all over our being. We walk up and down the street judging others because they don't look, act like us. We walk around with hate and deceit as our tools. We slash and dash to pieces the down trodden. We spend our entire being creating our empire. What have I done today that is CHRIST Like? Have I spent any time today examining my life as pleasing unto my GOD? How many more times will I walk past someone in my daily life and not share GOD? How many more excuses will I make for not giving my All to My GOD? If you don't believe the Word of GOD that tells us up front that Life is but a Vapour, take a visit to your local EMS station, Hospital, Nursing Facility..Ask some questions, listen, observe. Then I ask you this same question..How many people either newborn, young, middle aged, older, elderly alike has went into eternity today? Now multiply these by the numbers in America, Overseas..Now that you understand...What are we going to do? We can only obey GOD and GO UNTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE!!! Christians...I said CHRISTIANS..Lets get on fire and GO! Tell everyone you come in contact with about our HOLY GOD. Tell them simply, how GOD has changed your life. Become what GOD demands us to be..HOLY, of GODLY Character, in one accord with GOD, pleasing unto GOD, praising GOD, studying the Word of GOD to find our self acceptable unto GOD, Love in our heart, Hate far from us, and Not judging others, Not assaulting others while they are down trodden. Is that bumper sticker about you and me? If people do not see CHRIST in us, then I agree..It's about me!! GOD 24/7/365 folks..We have to live 24/7/365 as unto GOD. GOD gives us 24/7/365..HE has no time table. HE is HOLY and through JESUS CHRIST we are to give our very life to the cause of CHRIST. I Pray for GOD to change my Life into a Trophy of Grace, that I may shine brighter than the brightest star, and to have the Power of GOD on my life, not for wealth nor fame, but, that a dying world will see my Risen LORD! I have the same Power available to me that raised my JESUS from the grave! Let me start testifying CHRIST all the days of my life!!!

Pray

Folks I ask you to pray for my Dad. He is in Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC. He is battling several illnesses and as he gets more afflicted he senses his inability to be in control of his own body. He was an active, strong man just a couple years ago. He went and did as he pleased. Over the past couple years his health has deteriorated and he has been in and out of hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. Dad is 82 years old and as I look at him I see me. I see that if GOD tarries, I will have to travel down a similar path physically that my Dad is traveling down even as I type this here. Our old physical body gets worn down and diseased. I can honestly tell you all reading this today, It is going to happen to us all. If we are not taken suddenly as in a fire, wreck, disaster, etc..We at that will have suffering of some sorts and only GOD knows what that may be, but, back to my point, we will not make out of this old physical body in tact and functioning as well as it has in the past. The old saying goes on and still rings true that we are not gonna leave this world alive. This is if JESUS don't have Gabriel blow that Golden Trumpet of GOD calling HIS Children Home to Heaven that is..Then I'll be outta here!!! This physical body will let us all down. I spoke with a fella just yesterday and I said that at one time in my Dad's life that Dad seemed in control and had the world by the tail. He was a picture of health and walked and played bluegrass music all over these mountains. But it has came his time, in his life, that his old body is letting him down. I told him today, that we all are gonna face, just exactly the types of issues with health that he is experiencing in his body now. It will come a time, if JESUS tarries HIS Coming, that the only hope for physical, emotional, spiritual Peace is in GOD!! I didn't say that GOD will allow the cancers, diabetes, strokes, heart attacks, etc to pass us by..I said that the Peace of a HOLY GOD will be ever with us as long as we accept HIS Only SON JESUS and HIS Free Pardon of Sin. Sin is what causes these ailments and diseases in the first place. Because of my sins, your sins, Adam's sin, Eve's sin..In the beginning the moment sin entered a perfect paradise, sin came on the scene and now we have a big old dose of sin that is in the entire World. But let me tell you a Big Secret..I have a BIG GOD, Bigger than My Sin, Your Sin, The Entire World's sin..Just admit you are a sinner and believe in JESUS CHRIST who gave HIS own life and blood was shed, a HOLY BLOOD, and My JESUS rose again the third day from the borrowed tomb that EVERYBODY can be Saved!!!!! My GOD, My JESUS, Your Choice???
