Today are you bewildered , bothered on current events ?
Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered?
Matthew 24:37-44
Today, we in
our country are bewitched, bothered, bewildered of the current events unfolding
across the world in the Middle East.
What does
God state in is His word to us today? To encourage our hearts and give we hope.
1. God state if you are bewitched, bothered, worried,
confused, angry that and bewildered on current events. We must understand that we have no control
over this. To understand verse 37 -39 histories
is repeating. I say be of comfort for these
events are pointing to hope that Jesus is coming again. The Bible state as it
was in days of Noah which are perversions, all forms of immorality and hate it’s
happening again. Jesus is coming for those
who place their faith and trust in him.
2. God has provided the Ark of safety for
us which are Jesus.
3. Lessons for us: Don’t be careless, be prepared
or 42 (watch), be ready 2 Peter 3:11.
4. Dear folk Jesus is coming again. There is hope
in the name of Jesus, there is power in the name of Jesus and there is redemption
in the name of Jesus. Please come to Jesus today. Pray Jesus forgives me of my sins;
come into my heart and save me.

Unfrozen " Daily Bread"
My devotion today was from the Daily Bread" Unfrozen" Gal 2:11-16. Does God want to freeze people out? What is hypocrisy" We are all sinners saved through faith in Jesus! The people past are forgiven through the Blood. An example is Trump .He got saved. He is not perfect but he loves our country, Love cops, military .He has helped many people. Yes sin is sin but forgiveness is at the cross. Paul confronted Peter because he was one thing with one person but different with another. He wanted nothing to do with one when he was with another. I believe this is called hypocrisy. Why? Because he feared of not being with the in-crowd at that time sad but true even today. We tend to freeze people out. My suggestion be Unfrozen, you enjoy life better, and be a better witness!

Is there Life Beyond for You?
John 20 and

miss your love one. There is a feeling of silence, absence and loneness. 1. Mary wept
b. Ministry of Angels
c. Jesus speaks
2. I believe there is life beyond
because Jesus will overcome my fears and doubts. 20:19-31
3. I believe there is life beyond

Revolution
Acts 14
Never shut
up
A black
church in Kansas City as its slogan:
“Wake up,
sing up, and pay up, but never give up, let up, or back up, or shut up until
the cause of Christ in this church and in the world is built up”
1. The Christianity
of the Bible is a revolution Acts 14:1-5, 2 Tim.3:16
The Bible
tells us to preach the truth no matter the cost. As you read these passages you
will be inspired to stand for Biblical moral values. When you stand on the
Bible you will wxperience opposition but the truth always prevails. You see
friends the Bible always shake and changes life events.

Convictions Demonstrated in Hate or Love
Convictions Hate or Love of Truth
· Acts 4:1-12
· The country youth was being examined
by the school board. Among the questions asked was; “Do you think the world is
flat or round?”
“Well said the prospective teacher,
as he scratched his head I deep thought, “Some people think one way and some
another, and I’ teach round, or flat as the parents please.”
Today, we live in a political correct culture. We live in a snowflakes culture.
People will say or do whatever that will advance their ideological cases.
Folks, that what we see in the scriptures, the Sadducees did not believe
in the resurrection of the dead. The priest did not want to be blamed for
Christ death. They all opposed Peter teachings bitterly and violently!
Today we have two groups of people in America: the progressives (Liberal),
anti-Bible teachings, or Conservatives pro Biblical teachings.
They both want to take the country in different directions. They both are
made up of body, mind and soul.
1.
The
answer to confront the demonic ideology of progressivisms. To do so we, the
church must have convictions of what we believe is Godly and truth. Acts 9:29,
act 14:3
2.
We
must confront the culture of humanism (broadmindness, man can do it on his own)
bathe in love. The Bible tells us to speak the truth in love.
3.
Love
is narrow minded
Love, truth are based on
Biblical convictions. This also means persecutions for our convictions.
The church today must boldly
stand in love, speak in love and proclaim the biblical teaching in love.

Why I preach without pay?
Truth for Today Chaos
1. Paul says to pay the pastor
2.
“If we have sown
spiritual things among you, is it too much if we reap material things from
you?” (1 Cor. 9:11, ESV),
3.
“the Lord commanded that
those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel” (1 Cor.
9:14), and,
4.
“One who is taught the
word must share all good things with the one who teaches” (Gal. 6:6).
2. Paul
states he work without pay at times.
Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure
anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ . . . I
have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to
secure any such provision . . . What then is my reward? That in my preaching I
may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right
in the gospel (1 Cor. 9:15–18).
Why?
From an article by Les Bridgeman he
states four reasons for being self-sufficient for himself.
The Apostle Paul’s Income: Four Reasons
Why Paul Worked a Day Job
1. “Reason #1: He wanted to have the greatest possible
impact.”
2.
Reason
#2: “He didn’t want to be a financial burden to others.”
3.
Reason
#3: “He wanted to serve as an example of diligence.”
4.
Reason
#4: “He wanted to provide for that in need.”
This is how I feel .I choose to
be public school teacher, and ordained SBC minister, preacher, and evangelist.
I feel that it not wrong for a church to pay a Pastor in fact it’s Biblical. I desire to preach without asking for money.
Why Br. Eddie? I desire to be free to preach without concern of control
by those who hold other motives.
Love,
Pastor Eddie (904) 614-6176

A Can Do Attitude
A Can Do Attitude
1 Samuel 16:1-13
A five year
old was intensely working with his crayons in the kitchen table when his mother
walked in and question what he is doing. His reply,” I am drawing a picture of
God”
“But honey,”
She replied, “No one knows what God looks like.” With great confidence the boy
boldly proclaims, “They will when I am done!”
I often tell
my students to develop a can do attitude.
How did
Elijah develop a can do attitude doing difficult times, disappoints rejections?
Well look at
his situation he lived in.
There were
first spiritual vacuum: ministers weak, sons where immoral. There were also political
vacuum: King Saul where living in sin.
God told Elijah,
“How long are you going to live in mourning?” I have rejected Saul! Get up and
seek a leader. Seek me and I will show you! “Folks, if you are still in
mourning over difficult times in your life God is saying stop and get up and
go!

Control Crisis - Self confidence
Control Crisis
Joshua 1:1-7
“Moses my
servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this
people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the people of Israel.”
Crisis management means you have plan from
the past but also you have inner self confidence by having a divine call. You
must know that God is with you and has called you to do a work for Him.
Crisis will
always come sooner than later. Crisis control means that you look to God for
help and not on others. God alone is in charge of life affairs. God will make a
way for you.
Psalm 91:4 “He
shall cover thee with his feathers, and under His wings shall thou shalt trust;
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”
God is in
control!
Love,
Eddie

How To Manage A Crisis
How to Manage a Crisis Part 1
Joshua 1:1-7
Oh my! How am I going to handle this
problem? Have you ever said this to yourself?
I have many times. Crisis can come up any time and any place in your
life. Crisis does not tell you a time, or date. You see crisis just happens! I
have had many crises in my life. They are at times physical, spiritual and
emotional. Here are some examples: the crisis of getting older, my dad died, my
wife became ill, my finances crashed, the empty nest syndrome, change of careers.
How am I handling them? Well at times not very well! But I am constantly
reminded that life happens, preparation is important, a divine call is
important, assurance of God’s presence is important and falling on the Word of
God. All of these things will pull me through.

Racial Peace
I know there is a lot of hurt and anger towards police officers but it's not fair to equally portray all of them with hatred towards black lives and on the opposite not to say any of the officers acted without recklessness, without knowing all of the facts.
To put this post below from my dad in perspective, my dad was raised in Jamaica and my 100 grandma was born there. It's funny, when I tell people my grandma was born in Jamaica, I immediately hear "I don't see any black in you." I know a lot of times that it's folks not understanding that Jamaica is a melting pot of different backgrounds and races but there is also a bit of ignorance. She taught us to not see color but rather see the heart of one another like many Jamaicans do. Additionally, our family has seen first-hand the wickedness of racism as my dad spoke at times with his patois accent and was unfairly treated by "whites" over the years.Our country is hurting and we need to love one another no matter what color our skin is or how we speak with a different accent.
This is a post about my brother Jaguars Madison who is FHP Trooper. May God continue to watch over my brother and all law enforcement officers.
