Martus for Truth

This morning we have a matter for prayer. All I was given was a driver's license looking face shot of the man. Please pray, though. Please pray. #ImageOfAMan, #NoName, #JustAFace

In question is not about you reaching out to God, but God reaching out to you. Is your door open to Him, so that He may enter in? #Mercy, #Truth, #Love

This hymn is a bit of a Job-esque tale. Many of my hymns can be found at https://www.musescore.com/billsey #Mercy, #Grace, #Love

Sometimes the best answered prayers are those you didn’t think to pray. #DangerPrayers, #AnsweredPrayers, #AnswersUnprayed

Sometimes you have to walk away from what you want in order to gain what is only divinely given. #LinkHeartToHeart, #GiveUpToGain, #MarriageMattersMore

To me, one of the most frustrating areas of a man’s walk with Christ is being exposed to women who claim Christ yet think it is their God-given right to get others salivating over their physical appearance. It is not. Luke 17:1-3a makes this abundantly clear: Don’t tempt others! #Humility, #LoveOthers, #DontTemptOthers

One aspect of love is trust. So, who do you trust? #LeaveItOnTheAltar, #SnatchItBack, #WhoDoYouTrust

What is love, and how does your walk with Christ portray it? #LoveIsPatient, #LoveIsKind, #LoveIsNotResentful

Earlier today I got an excellent comment: There is beauty in the storm. And there is. Think crucifixion and resurrection. #Beauty, #Crucifixion, #Resurrection

In your walk with Christ there will be difficult times, but storms do pass (as it is written, “In this world you will have tribulations, but take heart: I have overcome the world.”). #Tribulations, #TakeHeart, #StormsDoPass

If you claim to be walking with Christ that is a necessary question. If you carry no wounds from the journey then you are not on the same path as Jesus, and therefore, are not following Him. #DenyYourself, #TakeUpYourCross, #WhereAreYourWounds

In your most difficult times, remember Jesus’ resurrection, and remember this: after darkness comes the light. #DifficultTimes, #JesusResurrection, #AfterDarknessComesTheLight

What do you do at the end of a difficult day? One of the things I do is to enjoy watching good golf. Whatever your choice, though, make certain you are enjoying the presence of the Holy Spirit. #Relax, #EnjoyTheHolySpirit, #EnjoyTheDay

Turn the People This is simply a prayer, recounting sins of the people and asking God to turn the people back to Him. #Pray, #TrustGod, #TurnThePeople

Remember, not even one of us deserves anything but an eternity in hell, “for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” and “the wages of sin is death”. Anything other than hell is a gift of God. As it is written, “but the gift of God is life eternal through Christ Jesus, our Lord.” The unrepented sin is an unforgiven sin, and we cannot repent of what we do not face. Therefore, face your shortcomings. #Repent, #TheWagesOfSinIsDeath, #FaceYourShortcomings

In times of suffering remember that, in your suffering, you are being brought nearer to Him. #Suffering, #NearerToHim, #JesusChrist

When you trace in the sky the Painter's brush you are seeing evidence of God's design. #AuroraBorealis, #ThePaintersBrush, #GodsDesign

When people start coming to you, though no human authority has recognized you as an authority, what will you do? Stay under the shelter of His wings. #UnderHisPinions, #UnderHisWings, #YouNeedHim

How do you do that? Well, admitting a misstep of my own seems an appropriate example. #Confession, #AcknowledgingWrong, #Repentance

In your walk through this life, and your walk with Christ, get yourself astoundingly quiet within—and be ready for His surprises. #Surprises, #Gods, #BeReady

Each of us, whether we want to remember it or not, has had someone who qualifies as our finest mentor. Mine was Frank Brown. #Mentor, #Counselor, #WiseAuthority

How many of you have experienced extraordinary events for which there is no other explanation than that it HAD TO BE God? #Miracles, #ExtraordinaryEvents, #God

Sometimes God's timing brings a nice little surprise. Today I received another one. #Nice, #Surprise, #GodsTiming

Is God trying to get your attention? Are you noticing tiny little things that only happen when God wants your attention? If so, don't ignore them, because they are important. Instead speak to Him, as it is written in 1 Samuel, Chapter 3, “Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening!” #BeAttentive, #DontIgnore, #MattersOfAttention

In the midst of your struggles and sufferings, think on the effect you are having on those around you, and remember the ripples. #Sufferings, #Struggles, #RememberTheRipples
