Nick with his grandmother

                                           Wayne lost his mom on May 24th. She was 90 years old.

Thanks to everyone who had him and his family in your prayers. Thanks for the thoughts, flowers, cards, gifts, calls and comforting words. It meant so much. Thanks to those who kept us in thoughts and prayers even if we didn't know it. Special thanks to Jean, Mattie, Vata, Glen, Wallace & Charisse, Ursula, Billie, Isaiah, Ishmael, Sissy, Wayne & Loretta, Sharon & Kendall, Anika, Belinda and Roderick. Hope we didn't forget anyone. We are so grateful. 

Don't let mood decide your action.

Replace complaints with gratitude.

Be humble but never underestimate your worth.

Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intellect. 

A wise man speaks only after his anger has died.

Hope in the face of impossibility is God's specialty.

The lack of Bible study can lead to truth decay.

Today In The Word

Brothers Who Believe

Lord Willing Tuesday, September 16 | James 4:13–17 On the Go? Listen Now! In my younger days, older people had some unusual sayings. I didn’t realize then that many of them were based on Scripture. One saying I would hear often is “Lord willing and the creek don’t rise.” Young and naïve, I didn’t understand why they had to say “Lord willing,” and I sure didn’t understand anything about a “creek rising.” We find the origin in James 4:15. James says that, instead of announcing our plans, we “ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that’” (v. 15). We don’t say this much anymore. Maybe we know that our next breath is dependent upon the Lord, but we don’t verbally express it. Clearly, the audience James is addressing did not say it or believe it. His caution was aimed at people who believed they were in control of their own destiny, particularly high-power businesspeople. James was not disparaging those who make money or have their own business. In fact, that would contradict Scripture. Look at the woman in Proverbs 31: “She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard” (Prov. 31:16). “She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes” (31:24). Rather, James is addressing the attitude of those who don’t consider God’s grace in their life. He identifies this attitude as boasting in your “arrogant schemes” (v. 16). At first glance, verse 17 seems to be out of place. To properly apply this verse we need to answer the question: “What is the good to which James was alluding?” Doing business with the right attitude regarding God’s grace in your life. That is good. It is only by God’s grace that we can live, travel, conduct a business, and make a profit. These are gifts from God. Go Deeper What plans are in your future? How would it shape those plans to add the phrase “if the Lord wills”? Pray with Us Dear God, what a blessing it is to know that we can entrust our lives to You. Thank You for the promise You gave us about Your perfect plans for our lives—“plans to give you hope and a future” (Jer. 29:11).

A WORD

 

Daily Moment with Jack Hayford Ministries   But You are holy, enthroned in the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3   Unquestionably, one of the most remarkable and exciting things about honest and sincere praise is taught here: praise will bring the presence of God.   Although God is present everywhere, there is a distinct manifestation of His rule which enters the environment of praise. Here is the remedy for times when you feel alone, deserted, or depressed. Praise! Let this truth create faith and trust, and lead to deliverance from satanic harassments, torment, or bondage. However simply, compose your song and testimony of God’s goodness in your life.  The result: God enters! His presence will live (take up residence) in our lives. The Hebrew word translated “inhabit” means “to sit down, to remain, to settle, or marry.” In other words, God does not merely visit us when we praise Him, but His presence abides with us and we partner with Him in a growing relationship.  Today, let us invite God’s presence into our immediate situation. He wants to come and abide where we are right now!
