Very short reflection on the man with marriage.

If you want to consider how far men have strayed from the Scriptural concept of marriage: just look at the number of abuses and divorces in the Christian faith. Here is a good start for men to practice, somewhere along the line of:
1 Peter 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Men should think of how much they destroy their own ministries and frustrate their prayers by having Godless, non scriptural practices towards their wives.
Marriage is the epitome of the need for "faith, hope, and charity" towards the wife, so that she is set free to be all that God has called her to be "in the marriage".

About my posts.

Greetings in His name!
Just a short explanation about these posts to this blog:
This blog is open to anyone as is my face book page. All that is posted here will also show up on fb as an html. Many people in foreign countries that speak English read this blog and find me on fb then request a "friend status". I use fb more to keep up with my family and to be quite honest it has gotten away from me with other people and other focuses.
Do not be offended if your request goes unanswered for a great deal of time. When I get the chance I will usually message those who ask. I am not lent to any kind of prejudice, and I am truly concerned with your ministry, mission, and function in the areas that you reside and minister.
I don't devote much time to social media though I do have to qualify that with the fact that I do post on matters that the Holy Spirit puts on my heart, family, our homemade meats, and special projects. These are done "redeeming the time" and only on occasion do I spend much time on the computer. These are the "things" that denote how much time I will spend communicating.
I have been getting friend requests/views from Peru, China, Russia, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, and many other nations that fail me now to remember. Thanks you. 
So you don't have to ask to be my friend you already are. If prayer is needed private message me on fb. If you want to tell me about yourself/ministry/life use the same method.
I appreciate you all.
God bless and keep.

The need to apply Unconditional Love

Precious Family and Dear Friends:
I cannot post or express enough how important "Love" is.
Life has "time limitations" to it. Time cannot be redeemed.
Love is eternal existing before you were born and will be here after you leave.
We "learn" to love in our youth, but we must "decide" to love when we "mature".
My experience started with my Mom & Dad, but is now being "perfected" by my wife, children and grandchildren not forgeting Friends.
We (Elise A. Cavasin and I), will be married for 46yrs this year and dated 4 yrs previous to marriage. The first time our eyes met we knew that we could spend the rest of our lives together. Love was born and the decision to love set from that first glance. Did we know love right at that second? No, but the seed of love/commitment was planted with life and time making it grow.
Pure "unconditional love" is full of grace and forgiveness. Both ways. Without "grace" and "forgiveness" love cannot be "unconditional".
Without "unconditional love" the passing of time is "meaningless" and "life/relationships" worry some.
Unconditional Love wounds easily but grace abounds with forgiveness to heal quickly.
Like the saying "it takes a long time to grow old together" it also takes a lot of love to bond individuals together for a "long" time.
I hope this increases your passion and commitment for "unconditional love" in your life and brings you to "fruition" of all that has been set for you to do.

1 Timothy 4:10

1 Timothy 4:10

For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

"because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe."

"Because we trust in the living God".

Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead that to "save all mankind". That includes the countless billions that proceeded us and the countless billions that shall succeed us from the beginning till the end of creation. Before Christ salvation came from faith in God's Word and after Christ faith in Him, His blood sacrifice, Resurrection, and Lordship. Notice that before Christ and afterward salvation never changes: both demand faith in the Word of God, one written, one the flesh version of the Word Jesus Christ. Faith has been the gateway to salvation throughout this creation period.

"Who is the Savior of all men".

All men has been the blind controversy throughout the ages that Christianity has existed. All men means all men! The sacrifice of God's only Son for sin was a complete Unconditional Love Forgiveness for ALL mankind. He didn't pick and choose who He died for, He died for ALL. I am stressing this point because it has to be stressed. If Christ left so much as one person out of reach of His salvation then it would be valueless to all of us. Unconditional Love means for all of us. Some actually preach that some are born to "go to hell". That we don't have a choice. That is a lie, a doctrine of man and a proverb for the ignorant! As men the desire to hold something over someone else as authority is our nature. But the Word of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit came to "set us free from the bondage of sin and death". A completely opposite "end" then what mankind embraces. As I said " if God's Son's salvation could fail anyone then it has failed us all". "For all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved". It is true that some "call not", but that is out of our hands to make judgement as we are told "not to judge until the end". Some argue this point about Judas Iscariot he was "born to perdition", true but that was by design because before creation when God knew the hearts of all men, Judas before he existed, proved to have a wicked heart which would not change, so God gave him the job of betrayer. Some might say that God then condemned him to hell before he was born, not so, he condemned himself to hell by his nature. Then to prove the Unconditional Love of God to all who know the account of his actions, God in His foreknowledge, directed his life to walk with Jesus for 3 yrs thereby (like Adam) allowing him to walk with God before he made the fateful decision that crowned him the "son of perdition". There is no one who has "graced" this creation who doesn't deserve eternal death because of their "sinful nature". That's why "none should perish" and that "He is the Savior of all men". I need at this point relate this true story about someone who truly believed that "some" are born to go to hell" so that there is no hope for them through Jesus Christ: In her latter years my Mom lay a dying of cancer. Since the day I was saved I had her and my Dad in prayer for salvation. I believed in praying through until an answer came. It did and one day in fervent, passionate prayer for their cause Jesus spoke to me and said: "STOP"! "The prayers for your Mom and Dad have been answered and they shall be saved, now go on with prayer about what I put on your heart!" I listened, believed, and obeyed. Banking on that promise about 19 yrs later my Mom lay a wasting. I asked for prayer for her in the church service and after the service I was approached by one of the members, a believer. His words to me were these: "I don't know if we should pray for her because maybe she was one that was born to "go to hell". I said WHAT? So he explained the doctrine that started this diatribe that some are created "outside" the reach of salvation and so are bound for hell. To prove his hypocrisy I then stated if that were true then how do you know that you and your family (all believers in Christ), are not all in the same position? He cried out that he and his family were truly saved and that such a thing wouldn't apply to him and his. I said "how do you know?" If you can offer that up for my Mom of whom a promise was given, then what makes you and yours so special? I say that if the Sacrifice of Christ could fail even one who calls upon His name then He has failed them all. "So none should perish" is a promise for all who call upon His name. I later had the privilege of leading her to Christ 2 weeks before she passed with much joy, tears and rejoicing. More later on this.

"Specially of those that believe".

Here is the dividing line of who can be saved and who "will be saved". All can be saved, only those who are obedient to the Living Word "confessing with their mouths Jesus is Lord and believing in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead shall be saved". This is the great "can and shall" scenario of life". You decide which one you will embrace. You have the choice of being one or the other, can is there by divine decree but will is there by promise. All have the same decision but only "those that believe" make good the reception of the promise. The "cans" of this Be one of the "specially that believe".

Happy Sunday to you all.

God bless and keep.

Let it be know that Jesus Christ is God's only Son, He is the Word, He became flesh, He is the salvation of every man especially those who believe! To say that any part/chapter/verse of Scripture has been "dispensated, ended, or invalid for today, is to imply that Christ (who is the Word made flesh) could then also "dispensate", change or end the salvation process. God forbid! 

It is better for man to preach, teach, expound on nothing at all, then to speak against the written statutes of Scripture so as to change the gifts, promises, and commands of God.

Romans 3:4 "Let God be True and every man a liar"!

God had the Word put to writing so that "in due time" when Jesus "became flesh" His life would "exemplify" all that God wanted us to have as an example to follow.

He did this so that "fallen man" could have hope to obtain unto Holiness through Jesus Christ, have our sins that separated us from God washed away, be filled with His Spirit and empowered to do His will on earth. 

Jesus Christ existed for only one reason: to manifest the Truth of God and His Unconditional Love to mankind "that none should perish but all should have eternal life".

There is salvation in no other name but that of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ was with God in the "beginning", He and God "rejoiced" over creation, and put God's plan into motion by starting with the Word "in the beginning God"!

Believe in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ!

Be baptized in the Holy Spirit!

Use the Name of Jesus Christ with authority!

Glorify your Father in Heaven.

God bless and keep as you are conformed into the "image and likeness of Jesus Christ"!

Today

HELLO!

It's Sunday and what a day it is, let us rejoice and be glad in it.........

Today is set forth for praise with joy unspeakable and full of glory!

Is today just another day to exist in this world or is it a day to "soar like Eagles" to the very throne of God?

As for Elise and I we will take the high road that leads upwards into the heavens. We will embrace the praise and worship in today's services and be encouraged/challenged by it's message.

We will come home filled with God's presence and prepare a feast of BBQ'd chicken wings to also fill up the flesh.

We will cling onto the fellowship of each other that has been growing stronger every one of these 46 yrs and marvel at the experience of Unconditional Love that enhances this union.

Life is not only good here but "great"!

Love is more than strong but "Unconditional".

God/Jesus Christ is more than just religion here but "King of Kings and Lord of Lords".

Here the Bible is not just a book of stories and suggested rules it's the Book of Life, non optional, God's Words to man.

Because of Him we are blessed!

Because of Him we know Love!

Because of Him we have Hope!

Because of Him we have eternal life!

Because of Him "Life is Good".

Praise Him!

In Jesus name, Praise Him!

Now for the "complete" definition of True Love:

"God is Love".

He is the complete representation of all the definition above plus the fact that His Love never fails, and it's "depth" is Unconditional.

The love definition listed above is subject to peoples "commitment" to the application. It can change.

The True Love, Unconditional Love explanation given here is based on a promise by God who cannot lie.

God proved His Love for us in the fact that "He gave His only begotten Son" while we were still in rebellion (and many still are) to His laws, commands, and judgement's without fail, ever. Even though all of these were set in place for our good and safety.

Unconditional means a seamless Love that cannot be offended, and responds the same whether it's agreed with or not.

Unconditional Love "cannot fail".

We can Trust in our Heavenly Father to never withdraw His decision to do so.

Unconditional Love is an eternal Love.

How do we show our Love back to Him?

"If you Love me you will obey my commands and my commands are not grievous".

His Word (the Bible) clearly state His commands. Love His Word,

as "His Word became flesh and dwelt among us for a while".

When you Love God you will Love His Word, (Jesus Christ), and you will be filled with His Spirit of Love making the circle of Love complete.

Love God and Love others as yourself "thus fulfilling all the law and the prophets".
