That is the house I grew up in, born on July 4th, 1956 in Windom, Minnesota. My brother Dave and his lovely wife Denise live in the house today. Mom and Dad are living in heaven.
I just had to share with you this morning my love for our Lord, My Sharon, My Children and Grandchildren, My love for Preaching, Teaching and Counseling. My love for my hometown, Windom, Minnesota. (Daughter Gretchen took this picture of me last night dressed in my new Windom Hoodie!)Windom is where my Christian foundation began. It will always be so very special to me! I can still remember all of my Sunday School Teachers, including
Irene Hartberg, Orville Fredrickson and Everett Stevens! ROOTS! Christian roots! One of the missions the Lord has given me is to share those Christian roots with ther world through Preaching, Teaching, Counseling, News and Inspiration at FGGAM, Podcasts and more……..
Here are the Words the Lord has given me today for you…………
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2
And this from Adrian Rogers…….I fought fear in my life for years until I gave my entire life to the Lord………
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.” Ephesians 1:3
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Did you know that fear can cause you to forget things? Now, I’m not talking about forgetting a phone number or someone’s name, though it may cause you to forget things like that. Instead, I’m referring to fear that causes you to forget the blessings, the anointing, the power of God—all these possessions you have because you are saved!
It happened to Timothy, who was mightily gifted and graced by God for the ministry that God had given him. Yet he forgot this in the midst of fear, and Paul had to remind him (see 2 Timothy 1:6). He had taken his eyes off of God and focused on fear so much that he couldn’t see anything else.
Let me tell you something friend: You are tremendously blessed! If you get your mind distracted by fear, then you will fail to see your blessings in Christ. Fear will blow out every light in your soul, take the blue out of your sky, and the joy out of your life.
ACTION POINT:
Friend, wake up and count your blessings. Rejoice, for you are in Christ!
