Do you Believe, for I Believe? What what do you believe in today and has that always been the answer. Do you believe in God?

We must love one another, not judge one another. We don’t know someone else's road they traveled, just as they don’t know our road we’ve traveled, so how can we judge one another and not love one another. We are to love thy neighbor, not judge thy neighbor for there is only one judge and we are not Him. For the only judge is our Father in Heaven our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and through Him, we shall be judged on the day of judgment in Heaven. For when we arrive in Heaven our Father Jesus Christ will open both of His books. The book of life and the book of souls and He will judge us accordingly through what is written in those books alone.

How will you be Judged?

Are you in the Book of Life or just the Book of Souls?

Who was the founder of the Methodist Church, the man who took a small group of Theology students in groups of eleven with one Bible Study Teacher and grew this small Holy Club to the huge Christian Denomination it is today? Well for starters this man that was the method behind Methodism to the founder of the Methodist church is non-other than John Wesley.

John Wesley was born on June 17, 1703, into a strong Anglican home his father, Samuel, was a priest, his mother, Susanna, taught religion and morals faithfully to her nineteen children. Wesley went to the Charterhouse in London for six years before he entered Oxford, in 1720. Oxford proved to turn Wesley into a fine scholar, where he would graduate in 1724. Wesley would go on to become soon ordained into the Anglican ministry and in 1725 he was made a deacon by the bishop at Oxford. In 1726 John Wesley would go on to be chosen to a fellowship at Lincoln College. After assisting his father at Epworth and Wroot, he would go on to be ordained a priest on September 22, 1728.

The Holy Bible: New King James Version. Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Company Inc, 1982.

The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, but considers them foolish, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

In this passage, Paul divides humans into two classes: the natural (the unbeliever, unrenewed through the new birth) and the spiritual (the born-again believer, walking in full communion with God).

When the Trumpet Sounds is it the end of the world as we know it?

Addison Gayle Jr. wrote, “Nations like Men, are Wary of Truth, for Truth is too Often, not Beautiful.”

Richard Bach wrote, “But, What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.”

And how Beautiful are Butterflies, as they fly like they are dancing in the breeze?

For when the Trumpet Sounds what a beautiful day it will be, when our Lord Jesus Christ comes to take us all home, to the mansion with many rooms.

“This old world that we’re livin’ in, Is mighty hard to beat. You get a thorn with every Rose, But ain’t the roses sweet?" ---Frank Stanton

And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not seven Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

---- Matthew 6:28-30

Sometimes in the winds of change, we find our true direction. As 2020 has been a year of vast ups and downs, we’ve sure found out that the winds of change are upon us. From fire, rain, locusts, coastal hurricanes, to land hurricanes, to tornados, floods, COVID-19, riots, and protests we’ve been through a battle.

For myself, 2020 has seen the Winds of Change as a wake-up call for oneself to answer God's call that I’ve been holding back on for many years. To get my faith, mental, physical, and overall life in check. How have you handled the Winds of Change in 2020 a year like no other?

Thelma Davis wrote “Sometimes people don’t like you because your strength reminds them of their weakness. Don’t let the hate slow you down.”

Our strength comes from our Lord and Savior. We must stand firm and therefore not give in to the hate that can slow us down. Those who are outraged at our strength fear that they are on the wrong side of the road. They are angry at their own choices they made to make them feel weak to your strength. For you can only save those who are willing to be saved.

For on this day, I tell to you, that it's written in the Bible the greatest history book ever written, that God created man in His image; God formed your inward parts; God covered you in your mother's womb, for you are a Gift from God and God knows the plans He has for you. You did not choose God, but God chose you.

We aren’t called to shine our own light; we are called to reflect His. For the darkness of this world can only be cured by the light of the One who created it. You cannot let the weight of this world outshine the light that you carry within.
