Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Something to ponder this day…………..

Pastor Leonard and Diana Navarre of Valley View Christian Church in Edgewood, New Mexico celebrate 44 years of marriage today! This couple is a shining light for Jesus Christ. I was so blessed 5 years ago when Pastor Don Kimbro told me you have got to call this Pastor in Edgwood and interview him about his trip to India. Ever since that first conversation we have become best friends. It is a blessing to have best friends. They see you through thick and thin. Leonard and Diana celebrate today 44 years of marriage as they continue to serve our Lord, serve their family, their many grandchildren, the people of Valley View Christian Church and all those around them. This couple stand’s in the gap for everything Godly. They counsel many. Let us today hold Leonard and Diana up before our Lord and give thanks for this Godly couple! In Jesus name Amen!
Just one more note about Leonard……I cannot stress to you all enough to have Godly mentor’s, an accountability group around you. When people fall,, one of the reasons is that they did not have a STRONG accountability group around them, where every thing is shared! Do you have an accountability group? Pastor Leonard stressed this to me in one of our very first meetings!
My favorite Quote from Pastor Leonard is posted here http://www.fggam.org/quote-of-the-day-dont-compromise/

Speaking of Pastor Don Kimbro is my guest on Dewey and Friends a Television Ministry of FGGAM, This Saturday night at 7:30pm on KAZQ CH 32. Pastor Don speaks to current events in our World.

Don’t forget that Pastor Paul Holt joins me every Monday om AM730 KDAZ at Noon, for “This is the World we live in”

Pastor Mel Bond is coming to the Lighthouse of Chimayo, New Mexico read about it here http://www.fggam.org/pastor-mel-bond-coming-to-the-lighthouse-of-chimayo-nm/

There is also great things going on at St. Anthony’s in Questa, New Mexico read about it! http://www.fggam.org/questa-new-mexico-residents-rally-behind-restoration-of-historic-st-anthony-church/

At the end of this post, very POWERFUL message by Ras Robinson and family! PRAISE GOD!!!!

Here is a FUNNY BONE FOR your Friday!

A Baptist preacher and his wife decided to get a new dog. Ever mindful of the congregation, they knew the dog must also be a Baptist. They visited kennel after kennel and explained their needs. Finally, they found a kennel whose owner assured them he had just the dog they wanted. The owner brought the dog to meet the pastor and his wife.
“Fetch the Bible,” he commanded. The dog bounded to the bookshelf, scrutinized the books, located the Bible, and brought it to the owner. “Now find Psalm 23,” he commanded. The dog placed the Bible on the floor and showing marvelous dexterity with his paws, leafed through and finding the correct passage, pointed to it with his paw. The pastor and his wife were very impressed and purchased the dog.
That evening, a group of church members came to visit. The pastor and his wife began to show off the dog, having him locate several Bible verses. The visitors were very impressed. One man asked, “Can he do regular dog tricks, too?”
“I haven’t tried yet,” the pastor replied. He pointed his finger at the dog. “HEEL!” the pastor commanded.
The dog immediately jumped on a chair, placed one paw on the pastor’s forehead and began to howl.
The pastor looked at his wife in shock and said, “Good Lord! He’s Pentecostal
LOL! LOL!

August 2, 2013. Walking in agreement is most important. The very smallest benefit of agreement is that two people agree on their direction. Otherwise, there is friction waiting to engage you every step of the way. It is best to take time in the beginning of any relationship to determine both what is the direction and also on who is in charge. Men are especially aware of the wisdom of clarification in the beginning concerning who will be the leader. That clarity sweetens a relationship and makes the agreed upon journey peaceful and enjoyable.

Amos 3:3 (NLT) “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” Ras Robinson

August 2, 2013. Hiding in the familiar is not helpful. What you need to be doing is hiding in Me. I am the one who knows all things. You can’t fix what is going on. I am the only one who can fix the problems. There is not just one problem. There are many. In the past, you have been amazed at the tapestry I weave. I can also unravel the problems that have knotted the tapestry. If you need to do something I will let you know. My child, rest in Me.

Hebrews 3:15 (NIV) “As has just been said: “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.” Bev Robinson

August 2, 2013. Cover one another. Do everything within your own power to conceal grievances among yourselves. Too often brothers and sisters in Christ are the first to uncover another believer’s wrongdoing. Unfortunately many people take pride in divulging private matters in public places. Though you may see it as unimaginable, try placing yourself in the so-called perpetrators position. Scathing looks and barbed words would only heighten the matter. Rise above the fray. Be the mature one and live your life full of unending grace. Forgiveness and mercy are what I am all about.

Proverbs 11:13 (NASB) “He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is trustworthy conceals a matter.” Kevin Robinson

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

If you do not get the CUP some days it is always posted at www.fggam.org ;

Praise God we are here for another day to serve HIM!!!!! As my buddy Pastor Leonard says, “You know what we get to do today Dewey? We get to serve the Lord! AMEN! AMEN!

Do these Words speak to you?

August 1, 2013. It is your turn now. All you have experienced so far has been necessary preparation for this very day. What I want to hear from you is that you understand this — the old way of doing things, effective and powerful though they were, it is a new day and you are being given a new command. No one could be more qualified than you. I have made you righteous as a gift. With that gift comes all the power you will ever need. You just must cross the river before you. No one can do it for you. Go!

Joshua 1:2 (NASB) “Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.” Ras Robinson

Do these Words speak to you? I posted this today at FGGAM.ORG www.fggam.org ;

The Word of the Day: What more can He say to you?

Few hymns deal with the sufficiency of Scripture, perhaps because Christians have failed to realize the great comfort and peace that this doctrine brings to the Christian life. But the first verse of the following hymn contains a statement of this doctrine. It begins by telling us that God has laid a firm foundation for our faith in His Word. Then it says, “What more can he say to you than to you he hath said….?
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word!
What more can he say than to you he hath said,
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed;
I, I am thy God, and will give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.
“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
“E’en down to old age all my people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne.
“The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not , I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake.”
From: Rippon’s selection of hymns, 1787

The Velveteen Woman
Sharon Jaynes
Today’s Truth
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ (Galatians 1:10, NIV).
Friend to Friend
Most of us have read or heard of the childhood classic, The Velveteen Rabbit.Perhaps you first heard the story snuggled in your mother’s lap or like me, as an adult with a child snuggled in your lap. Like many children’s books, the message carries a profound truth that resonates more with adults than with kids.
The story begins…
”There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy’s stocking, with a spring of holly between his paws, the effect was charming.
“The boy loved the rabbit…for at least two hours, but then he was put on the nursery shelf with all the other toys. Because he was velveteen, some of the more expensive toys snubbed him. Some of the toys boasted about being fashioned as smaller models of real things, such as boats and soldiers. But the rabbit didn’t even know that there was such a thing as a real rabbit. He thought all were just as he was, stuffed with sawdust. But one night, the rabbit made a fascinating discovery.
“The Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys, and would never turn into anything else…
“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”
“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.
“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”
“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse “You become real. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
The Velveteen Rabbit wasn’t even sure what a rabbit was supposed to do. He just knew there had to be more to life than being filled with sawdust and sitting on a shelf.
Being real. That’s what really matters. I don’t want to wait until most of my hair has fallen out and I’ve lost my stuffing. I want to be real right now. So what if I don’t look as shiny as the other toys in the nursery.
Yes, sometimes it is painful to become real. It takes courage. But until we do, we’ll find that our existence sitting on the shelves is just a dim reflection of the abundant life that Jesus came to give.
Let’s chat. Click over to my Facebook page and tell me the name of one of the most real people you know.
Let’s Pray
Dear Heavenly Father, I know that You want me to be real and honest with those around me. Jesus was. He never pretended to be something that He wasn’t and He didn’t pretend not to be something that He was. I am Your child with many faults, failures, and foibles. I made mistakes in my past and will make mistakes in my future. I pray that I will always have the courage to be real with those around me and never participate in religious pretending because of concern over what others may think. I’m just me: saved, sealed, and delivered! In Jesus’s name, amen.
Now It’s Your Turn
Let’s get into Scripture and see what we can learn about being real.
Read Genesis 25:23-34. Who was Jacob?
How did he trick his brother? (Genesis 25:29-34)
How did he trick his father? (Genesis 27)
Jacob was pretending to be someone he was not. In the end, it caused much heartache.
Read Genesis 32:22-30 What question did God ask Jacob? How did he answer God differently than he answered his dad in Genesis 27?
What did God do once Jacob became real and stopped pretending to be someone he wasn’t?
More from the Girlfriends
Being real is one of the themes of my book, Your Scars of Beautiful to God:Finding peace and purpose in the hurts of your past. God doesn’t want us to hide our scars. He wants us to be real and use the scars of our past to impact those in our present! That’s what makes them beautiful! Click here to learn more about this life-changing book.
Beginning August 1, the content of my blog will be completely different from the Girlfriends in God devotions. So if you are not signed up for my blog atwww.sharonjaynes.com, please do it today…and invite all your friends. I’m going to have more give-a-ways, more personal interaction, and more inspiration than ever before!

Trials and Tribulations have not passed you by

July 31, 2013 by radiodewey@aol.com Leave a Comment

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,

My friends does this speak to you today?

July 31, 2013. Trials and tribulations have not passed you by. Some have been almost unbearable, have they not? And yet some have come and gone without as much as a tussle. Over time, you have learned to roll with the punches and thereby endure the momentary light afflictions. While this has been happening, I have been growing and shaping you into a mighty warrior. Now you are charged to pass it along to your generation and the next generations. Therefore, you are carrying like a virus the strength that overcomes. Infect and transmit it with passion.

2 Timothy 3:1 (KJV) “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” Ras Robinson

Thank you Ras for your Godly insight! I love that Infect and transmit with PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is what God has called us to do here at FGGAM!
Remember as we touched on yesterday about prayers not be answered, or when you feel God is silent, God is working on things you cannot imagine, He is growing and shaping you! I know that trials and tribulations have touched you all! They have knocked me down and burned me up in the past! But as my friends say I am like the Phoenix! (Mythology A bird in Egyptian mythology that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire, later to rise renewed from its ashes. I call it my PAUL experience!) Praise be to God! They may be at your door step right now. God’s Word is called the bread of life, eat. sleep, drink in the Word of God, strength, peace and Godly wisdom will come to you! If you need help please contact me.

It is important that you read these three posts today that God had me work on all morning…………Even thou all this is taking place here in New Mexico, if you live in Minnesota, where same-sex marriage has been approved, or anywhere in the world, these are Godly issues, let us be informed.

First click here on Santa Fe County New Mexico Commissioners approving a Resolution for legalizing same-sex marriage http://www.fggam.org/santa-fe-county-joins-city-of-santa-fe-in-support-of-same-sex-marriage/

Also this about Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry supporting Abortion restrictions: http://www.fggam.org/mayor-berry-supports-restricting-abortion/

And this on my thoughts of Mayor Berry and Santa Fe County Commissioners http://www.fggam.org/pastor-dewey-on-mayor-berry-and-santa-fe-county-commisioners/

Thank you for your consideration. God gives me instructions as to what to write and say each day.
Things are sure changing fast and technology is moving very fast! We have hired Isaac to run the operation of the FGGAM web site to adapt to this change. I also have a Board and many mentor’s that help us forge ahead in this ever changing world to reach others for Jesus Christ. We are using the web, email, texting, youtube, facebook, twitter, TV, Radio, Newspaper and in person visits of counseling, teaching, preaching to spread the light of Jesus.

Read this, Pastor Leonard Navarre posted this to his facebook yesterday………

When you lead an organization — especially when you are responsible for leading an organization like the local church — there is a temptation to ignore trends or minimize the impact they will have on how you operate.
It’s so difficult to gain and keep momentum, that when you have some momentum it becomes tempting to ignore the changes around you because they might force you to rethink your method.
But the truth is that your method (your strategy, your approach, your plan) is not sacred; the mission is sacred.
Andy Molinski calls it global dexterity: The ability to adapt behaviours across cultures without losing who you are in the process.
Leaders who are willing to reconsider the methods to preserve the mission are usually the ones who succeed long term.
While there are dozens of trends that are impacting the church, the trends outlined below are what I would call ‘organizational sleepers’.

We all see them.
Our lives are impacted by them every day.
But many leaders are not talking about their impact.
One of the reasons we’re not talking about these issues might be that few of these trends have implications for the church that are clear cut or obvious.
Most of the thinking around these trends lead to wet cement conversations — thoughts that are open to reshaping, rethinking and reconsidering. Not every leader is comfortable with that kind of conversation.
So I offer them as things we need to be thinking about, talking about and praying through.
While there may be no clear answers, there should at least be conversation among leaders, boards and the thought leaders of any organization.
Here are the 12 trends in no particular order:
1. Online as the New Default. You used to have to go to church to hear a message or music, or get the cassette or cd. Now you just need a phone. Every attender can (and often will) listen to any communicator, band or concert they want. And almost everyone who shows up at your door has checked out your church online before they came. What are you doing to embrace the online world beyond a barely-supported and moderately outdated website, podcast or Facebook page?
2. Wifi and Smartphones. They are googling you while you’re speaking, and checking out other options while you’re listing yours. Do you assume your audience is intelligent, literate and has options?
3. Dialogue. People want to talk, not just listen. While sitting around tables every Sunday may not be the answer, increasingly a church without conversation is a church without converts. What scalable, meaningful venues do you have for people to go to online and inhouse for real conversation?
4. Loyalty. Brand loyalty is low. 4 of the top 5 global companies didn’t exist 40 years ago. Being around for a long time can be seen as a liability with the next generation. (Rich Birch has a great info-graphic on this.) How are you showing the relevance of an ancient faith to the current generation?
5. Lack of guilt. Guilt used to motivate people to change and even to come to faith. The next generation feels less guilt than almost any previous generation. Are you still using guilt to motivate people? (By the way, Jesus never used guilt to motivate outsiders.)
6. Declining trust in authority. People will still trust authority when the authority has earned their confidence. But they start out with suspicion. More than ever, trust is earned slowly and lost instantly. How is the way you exercise authority worthy of people’s confidence?
7. Declining trust in institutions. You have to show people how an organization can help them, because by default, they don’t think it/you can or will. How are you demonstrating trustworthiness?
8. Personalized, eclectic spirituality. People want to find their own unique path, and most start out that way. They will embrace the path of Christ, but they don’t start out there. How do you embrace where they start but encourage them not to finish there?
9. A desire for greater purpose. Millennials will not stay long at work or causes that have little greater meaning or purpose. I wrote more on why you need young leaders in your organization here. Is your mission and vision clear, compelling and inexhaustible?
10. Personal mission. People aren’t waiting for someone to change the world, they’ll just do it. From charity runs to starting non-profits from home, the next generation not only believes they can have a global impact, many are having it. If your church doesn’t have a burning sense of purpose and vision, you look lame compared to the average 22 year old. How is your vision motivating people who have vision?
11. Trust in user reviews. What you say about your organization matters less than what others say. People place far more trust in user reviews than advertising copy.What are others saying about your organization and how would people find that out?
12. The death of cash and cheques. When was the last time you wrote a cheque or paid $500 cash for something? No one does that anymore. But every Sunday most church leaders expect most of their offering to come in via cash or cheque. Is most of your giving happening online? Why not?
Obviously there are many more trends that are impacting the church or will be shortly. What do you see?
What are you doing about any of these mentioned above?
