A Little Something for Everybody
Posted Sunday, November 15, at 7:40 AM
I caught the wrap up of the CMA'S one day this week, reason I caught the wrap up and not watch the show is I don't call a lot of today's music country. There are a few exceptions but that is not the point. Just because you are signed to a country label or whatever label you choose you are considered that genre regardless.

I put most of todays music under the label of Pop which is a wide genre, you could put a lot of todays churches in that same genre, they profess to be Godly but show no signs of Godliness, but because they have a church sign out front they are called Church and the members called Christian, I think not.

You have Rainbow churches who approve of homosexuality, churches that even put homosexuals into to Pastor and leadership roles, churches that approve of abortion and all other abominations that the Bible, which is God's word that plainly teaches the opposite.

Churches that offer smoking rooms for their best tithers in order to keep them,church leadership caught in compromising positions and they stay in leadership, that is so wrong!

I am not fussing on dress codes, though there should be a line drawn somewhere, music, though I question some of what today's churches call gospel music.

All denominations are at fault, Jesus must be worshiped in Spirit and Truth, not just anyway you want.

Some of the oldest brands of churches have so left the Word I don't see how they can call themselves churches, they may evolve, but remember God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, in other words he don't change as we do!

To leave a church for the churches mistakes is one thing, but to leave one because your toes got stepped on is another, I guess Church is like Baskin Robbins, if the flavor don't suit you, try another one.



Mercy and Grace
Posted Sunday, November 8, at 4:59 PM

As I sit on the porch of my country home , and I will say I am blessed to have it, I am relearning what mercy and grace is. God's mercy is that he does not give us what we deserve and his grace is that he gives us what we don't deserve. It will rain on a unrighteous farmer's field the same as it will a righteous ones, a righteous man can be rich or poor the same as the unrighteous...



Return To The Pulpit!
Posted Tuesday, November 3, at 2:56 PM

I am totally moved and slowly readjusting to country life, it has been since I was about 12 since I left the country. Back to cutting wood and busting wood and bringing wood in the house, by the way if anyone has any trees that have fallen and need cutting up let me know...



A Few Thoughts
Posted Sunday, October 11, at 7:58 AM

Before I move and go offline for what will probably will be a couple of weeks, I thought I would leave a few thoughts and then come back and see the ones you have back. As posted on another bloggers spot Obama won the Nobel peace Prize...What a bunch of bull!, the mans done nothing to deserve anything...



New Pharaoh?
Posted Sunday, September 27, at 8:10 AM

First off before I start, we will be moved by the end of October and I want to thank all those who prayed and wished us well. God has and will always take care of the Bell family. Now on to a Revelation that God gave me this week, I was at work and scripture and symbolism started pouring into my mind and heart and I will share it with you...



Time Away.
Posted Sunday, September 13, at 1:19 PM

I will be taking a break from blogging for a while, because my family and I have come to our own Crossroads and have decided to let God and us let go. We bought our house about 4 years ago and have done all we could to keep it, it is one of the ones that was built by Roger Ritch, enough said on that!...



The Crossrads
Posted Monday, September 7, at 10:23 AM

When I started these blogs I chose the theme of View from the Crossroads, I thought for no apparent reason, but God always has a reason. We come to a crossroad everyday, whether as a individual or family or a group or nation and a choice has to be made...



He Came, He Went, He Will Come Again!
Posted Sunday, August 30, at 9:07 AM

With all this talk of whether Jesus would do this or that or approve of this or that, it got me to wondering what most in today's time even think about Jesus. Most everybody loves going to the Nativity scenes, which are so Westernized, it looks as if he was born in Texas, they go to church, pet baby Jesus on the head and then leave without change or conviction...



Dear Mr.Obama
Posted Sunday, August 23, at 8:15 AM

Like many Americans I am having my coffee and breakfast while catching up on the news and it has been brought to my attention that as a lot of people do when they reach their last chance, they find God. People go to prison and or to death row and they find Jesus, some do, some don't only God knows...



The Restrainer!
Posted Sunday, August 16, at 4:40 PM

When I first started doing these blogs I did not even know what a blog was, I take it to be a personal diary of my thoughts and beliefs , that I just happen to share with the world, I have gotten several e- mails from readers in various places, here and abroad, for those interested, my e- mail is preacherman@inbox.com...
