You Too Can Be Unshackled

Listen To Unshackled

This is the longest running radio show in the world.

Even more importantly it is documentation of the true stories of how people have been released from the very real chains that bind them.

The combination of the scriptures and a person's personal testimony of what the Lord has done in their life is very powerful in convincing others of the spiritual realities involved here.

You can listen to the archive programs here. This is powerful stuff.

Time Flies

The hands on the watch go round and round and I know I am trying again to be the master of the obvious, but we cannot stop time and it only goes forward, not backward. When our time is up we return to dust, but Solomon says the spirit within us returns to God who gave it.

Prepare to meet your maker. I have to - you have to.

One time I was becoming serious and philosophical on another site and got a comment from a reader who said I had a "Yoda thing going on." I know it is possible to take yourself too seriously, but I am not taking myself seriously, I am taking life and death seriously. One of my favorite Bob Dylan quotes is when he says, "I live in another world, where life and death are memorized." That's how I feel. I have looked at all of this and it is serious business.

I know there is a time to laugh and have fun and I try to do that, but we have one entire lifetime to realize we need God and we must come to him during that one life we have.

Don't come to the end of your life without searching for God.

I Thought I Was Still Alive

I found my tombstone while surfing the web. It's not every day you can find a tombstone with your name on it. As far as I know, I am not related to this Carl Sieder.

Not one of them falls to the earth without our Father knowing. All the hairs of your head are numbered. Read Luke chapter 12 where Jesus says to make his kingdom our top priority and all of our other needs will be supplied as well.

Sermon Notes - The Stuff Of Legend

Our pastor, Thad Blount, "went to meddlin'" in his sermon Sunday. My only thought after his sermon was over was "bulls-eye."

I have thought that we are living in the Laodicean Age. (The Laodicean church was rich and increased with goods and did not need anything, it thought, but Christ's assessment was that it was really pitiful, poor, blind and naked. It was also called lukewarm.) Francis Schaeffer called our times the Age of Personal Peace and Affluence. Whatever you want to call it, it is real and it is hurting the cause of Christ. I am not pointing my finger at anyone else. I see this in my own life.

My ideal for our generation is to take the gospel to the Islamic world, which means being ready to die for the gospel. If their suicide bombers are ready to kill others and themselves for their cause, shouldn't we be willing to die for our cause (which is to offer the Islamic world salvation through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ). Our cause is different from theirs, but more importantly, our God is stronger. A stonger God demands a stronger faith in Him.

We would carry the love of Christ to them instead of bombs. We will win that war.
