Better have wounded and empty hands that are clean
than hands that are full and yet stained with sin.
J.R. Miller
As frauds and liars multiply by the hour and every conceivable trick in the book is used to discredit and if necessary remove the 'voice that cries in the wilderness' the writer has had enough. Ever avoiding the 'Send feedback' button which dangled dangerously near a line of text which could have opened a 'can of worms' it mattered not what opinion others had of a work that was offered freely for encouragement or the trash can. I pray I have reached the hearts and minds of those stranded in the wastelands. There is hope, and when you cry out to the God of creation He does answer. He saved a wretch like me, He can save you. My testimony remains on the blog "For such as These" I can only pray it will inspire people that what ever their struggle no one is beyond His saving grace. To those damaged by the hirelings and denominations who would never consider walking over a church threshold again, you don't have to. God is as available as the air you breathe. Salvation is yours for the taking.
My first blog was in 2003 - originally I just intended putting my testimony on the internet, pressing the publish button and let it go surfing the net but 220 blogs later its time to say enough is enough. Thank you for the 7,100 hits. I pray I have reached souls but thankfully my site was blocked for any caustic comments.
The internet is dead in the water for me. The filth and dross that arrives unsolicited in my mail trash box is amazing, sales promotions exhausting, its back to quill, ink and pigeon post. That way your authorship can remain anonymous. It has never been about the writer's notoriety or acknowledgement/praise, merely shadowing or highlighting text in the very best guide for a wandering soul, the bible.
It never ceases to amaze me why someone would want to buy a book about Hilliary Clinton or Tony Blair and add to their amazing wealth. I have used quotes by John Bunyan, Spurgeon, Tozer and J.R. Miller, were they rich men in their lifetime? I seriously doubt it - Bunyan spent many years in prison but his book is second only to the bible. Their priceless encouragement lives on within the reach of the average guy on the street.
Thank you to everyone who dropped on my blog site. I hope you found it encouraging because that was my only agenda, and if by chance you were from the 'dark side' my feedback has always been blocked so you were wasting your time.
My prayers go out to my brothers and sisters around the globe. Some I initially found on Facebook, but when Facebook decided to tell me what I could and couldn't say - then that was the time to start my blog. Eventually blogs will be policed and taken down by the 'dark masters of the internet'
My christian friends in America are held in prayer. You know the old saying 'America sneezes and we in the U.K. catch a cold. It is slightly more subtle here but it's rather like a creeping gangrene slowly by degrees although I am not aware of any satanic churches here, nevertheless the Word of God is compromised in virtually every denomination and only the groups following the teaching of J. Prasch huddling together in small fellowships are aware of the deterioration. Church is now a social club, all welcome, anything goes, same sex marriage and the L.B.G.T. lobby welcomed with open arms.
Yes, we are a peculiar people but we are destined for His glorious Kingdom and as Charles Haddon Spurgeon said "Where the Holy Spirit implants divine life in a soul, there is a precious deposit which none of the refinements of education can equal.
Your gifts are heaven sent but there is still time to use them to lift the broken and make a difference in your corner of the world. It starts with you and me.
There is an air of excitement as bible prophesy unfolds. I can only imagine talking with Peter and John and the other apostles. Walking with John Bunyan thanking him for his vision of the City of Gold encouraging us to 'finish the race'
C.H. Spurgeon writes "It is better to be least in the kingdom of heaven than the greatest out of it" His simple quotes hit home and speak to us lesser mortals who struggle to find time to study at length.
Just to be a gate keeper will suffice for this soul - so if you see a joyful happy praising soul collecting the passes - I hope its 'me'
We go together
into forever.
Our spirits blend
as we ascend.
A burning light
heads into the night.
Gone forever
Gone forever
Children of His Light.
