WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Isaiah 58:7-11

homeless-and-hungry

Isaiah 58:7-11

Share your food with the hungry,
and give shelter to the homeless.

Give clothes to those who need them,
and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

“Then your salvation will come like the dawn,
and your wounds will quickly heal.

Your godliness will lead you forward,
and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.

Then when you call, the Lord will answer.
‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.

“Remove the heavy yoke of oppression.
Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!
Feed the hungry,
and help those in trouble.

Then your light will shine out from the darkness,
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.

The Lord will guide you continually,
giving you water when you are dry
and restoring your strength.

You will be like a well-watered garden,
like an ever-flowing spring.

Testimony by Betsy Nelson

About twenty years ago I was walking at night in downtown Chattanooga with a friend named John and came to a restaurant/bar called the Pickle Barrel.  This was a common place among my friends to hang out.  It was/is a ramshackle building set in a triangle bit of property at an odd intersection.  They serve sandwiches that go well with beer, which is their main trade.

Interview With God

“So you would like to interview Me?” God Asked

“If you have the time.” I said

“My time is ETERNITY. What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered, “That they get bored with childhood. They rush to grow up and then long to be children again. They lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and die as if they had never lived.”

I asked “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons You want Your children to learn?”

God replied with a smile….

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn they cannot make anyone love them. What they CAN do is let themselves be loved. To learn that a RICH PERSON is NOT one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and it takes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are persons who love them dearly but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently. To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others. But that they must forgive themselves.”

“Thank You for Your time” I said humbly. “Is there anything else You would like Your children to know?”

“TO LEARN THAT I AM HERE…. ALWAYS.”

The Source of My Help

By Jamie Broadcaster

I’m against all that exalteth itself
Or everything that wants to make me forget
The things that for me Christ has done
And the importance of the race which I must run.

We all want to be the harbinger of the new dawn
Everyone wants to be the revealer of a new age
We all want our names
Boldly crested in the hall of fame

But the question stands out still:
How willing are we to lunge into the deep
How ready and how willing are we
To make the sacrifices which these great feats require?

Once upon my time
I actually did run ahead of my guide
With good intentions to actually SAVE TIME
And to render Him help because I thought, “I can!”

But then down I came and into the pit I fell
How deep it was I couldn’t tell
But it sure was like hell
I kept lying to myself about how I fell

I refused to agree with it
Or accept this hard truth
But behind all the bravado
Was a very scared me with much ado

This was me until the wind blew so hard
And then after the right path I asked.
On Christ I finally depended
And ever since my life He has defended.

I leave you with this
Where is the source of your help?
The hill, yourself, or beneath?
Upon these lies the story which at the end you will tell.

Choose the Hill.
