Wise and Understanding

Happy New Year to you and yours! We love you all!

We have many news and inspirational posts for you at FGGAM.ORG  www.fggam.org ;

It has been a very busy time here at the Moede house WOW! I know so many of you also have been very busy.

We had 10 at the house for Christmas, then we had a funeral, wedding reception, Preached in Magdalena and Reno underwent cancer surgery and all our other duties! All these kids have left now, we miss them much!

We enjoyed the wedding reception of Chad and Stephanie Pate! They had been married out of Town, so they had a reception in Albuquerque on Saturday, Sharon and I were blessed to be there. What a strong Godly couple! Amen! Praise God! It is such a celebration when you see  Godly people come together! Amen!

I spoke at Bessie’s funeral, you might remember she is the lovely lady that Sharon found unconscious in the parking lot at work right before Thanksgiving. Bessie passed onto heaven right before Christmas. My message centered around as it teaches us in James, “Who are you? and we are but a vapor” Talked about making an impact on earth for Jesus Christ, like Bessie did, as a Wife, Mother, and foster parent and nurse. Bessie’s husband, Bill, works at Congregation Albert in Albuquerque, and these ladies came up to me and asked who I was, they said are you a public speaker an actor? LOL! I said a Pastor! They said, “You are a very powerful speaker! Are you scared of all us Jews! LOL LOL! I said, I love you all! We had a great time and I reminded them that we play Congregation Albert in Softball!!! And sometimes we kick their butt and sometimes they kick ours! LOL LOL!

Please pray for our little guy Reno, our ministry doggy that is cancer be gone and the bleeding stop.  Pray for FGGAM News reporter Rick Stambaugh who is having trouble with one of his lungs. Please pray for Kristen Young who is having dizzy spells. Please pray for Pastor Ray Franks who continues to be in the hospital, at last report he was in stable condition, but the infection remains. We pray healing over all, in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, Amen!

Sharon was exhausted this morning when she went back to work!

During this busy time I pray the Lord showed you much!

He is with us in these and all times.

Here are some of the things he showed me…………

I preached on this on Sunday at the First Baptist Church in Magdalena filling in for Pastor Paul Holt.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, be deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. James 3: 13-16

You see it playing out before your eyes, disorder and evil being practiced. It is rampant in our families, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, government, even some churches!

More and more decisions in this country are being made without God. They are earthly, unspiritual, and of the devil.

It is simple as that. The message of God is simple, child like faith is required, Too much of the Church has polluted God’s Word. Now  many in the Church are abusing GRACE, God’s Grace……it’s like many have invented this CREDIT CARD OF GRACE, this makes me very uncomfortable on how many are preaching on God’s Grace, God’s Grace is sacred.

I got a Pastor mad at me because I would not “endorse” this book he was pushing on God’s Grace, it was not his book, but it was leading the way for the denomination he represents. The best book to study about God’s Grace is the Bible.

Too may want a message to tickle the ears and fill offering plate and sell books.

Let’s go back to James 3…….

verse 17-18  But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

It is so important to remember to stay in touch with GOD at all times, through listening to Him and reading His Word, and not the latest fad of the church or the latest wave of new books.

If all these latest fads in the church and with a record number of books available to us, why is the church failing in America?
