The Aroma of Coffee and of Praising God

No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils. – Henry Ward Beecher

Such an interesting observation.  Now I know there are a few people who do not like coffee and therefore cannot quite relate but for the majority of us as we think on the wonderful fact related to us let us also ponder a spiritual parallel.  When we offer our sacrifice of praise it is an aroma that is more pleasing to God than the wonderful aroma of fresh coffee in the morning is to us.  

Now that is biblical.  It is said in a slightly different fashion in Scripture but God is thrilled by our little demonstrations of genuine love for Him.  He actually looks forward to fellowship with us.

Are You a Child of God?

As a follower of The Christ who takes the Great Commission as a command rather than a suggestion I have encountered many people who fall into the Psalm 1:1 category of “ungodly” who make the claim “We are all children of God.”  The Scripture addresses that claim quite clearly and whild the Christ follower should use tact and wisdom in responding, the error cannot be merely ignored; unfortunately that, failure to address the intellectual misunderstanding, has happened too often to the detriment of saint and sinner alike.

Make sure you are, in fact, a child of God; your eternal destiny hangs in the balance – read the Bible and learn what it really says and attend a Bible-believing, Bible-teaching church this Sunday.  Pastorwardclinton.com

The Christian and Politics

The Church must take right ground in regard to politics … Politics are a part of religion in such a country as this, and Christians must do their duty to the country as part of their duty to God … God will bless or curse this nation, according to the course Christians take in politics. – Charles G Finney

You must be DIVORCED from your SIN, or you cannot be MARRIED to CHRIST.  C. H. Spurgeon
