Dewey's Daily Cup

Dear KKIM Family,

“If you speak the truth you never have to wonder what you said.” Sam

Here is one of the best letters I have received!!! From Sam. After posting yesterday and talking about Rick Warren’s problem of just saying the truth…………….

Dear Dewey, Rick Warren is truly on my heart.
He is in my prayers for the Lord to have him ‘Stand Tall’ for His word. I also pray that the Lord will direct his words in the public, for them to be full of Gods Truth, so he won’t be confounded anymore. If you speak the truth you never have to wonder what you said. The Truth is firm and always faithful.
sincerely, Sam

It would be such a blessing if Rick would come out and speak the truth. Talk to us Rick, we love you! You have been a mentor for many of us!

Don’t blame the media for this folks! Rick has to work out of this pickle for himself. He defended the sanctity of marriage and now he is even denying that he supported Prop 8 in California. Even thou he did sermons on marriage and a video on Prop 8. Pray that Rick will be healed and gain strength and rid himself of this confusion. I take this from Sam…….We all need to STAND TALL for HIS word, and in the battle we need to be DAVID’s not GOLIATH’S.

We also as Christians need to hold each other accountable and the Christian community needs to hold Rick Warren accountable. I had some friends say yesterday, but Dewey the media…….Oh please………the media did not create this or speak Rick’s words…….they reported what he said and did. To many times Christians blame the media for problems when they get in trouble, when in fact it is their own doing. ACCOUNTABLILITY!!!!

What is sad here is that some Christians now will fall back and not be BOLD in CHRIST, because what has happened here.

We have been talking about how we all need to start our day with the Lord and pray for help each day in our words and steps so that we do not wear down and do stupid things. We need fellowship and accountability partners.

We all have and will make many more mistakes, when that happens we need to come forward and admit them to our Lord and His people. As Pastor Marvin Capehart said last night on New Mexico News and Views last night, “Dewey, you don’t know how many Pastors I have worked with over all my years that would not admit mistakes to their people.”

Let us pray that Rick Warren picks himself up and looks to the Lord for guidance. Yes, Rick is just human like you and me…the flesh can take over. The question is, for all of us will we fess up to our sins and get right with the Lord.

I have five Pastor’s that hold me accountable. I constantly ask them if I am off track or on track. I also have Sharon and the kid’s and two very close friends that do the same. We all need accountability!

Christian Broadcasters, Pastor’s, and God’s people have to be held to a higher level of accountability!

Today we PRAISE GOD for KKIM’s 37th Birthday!!! We begin our 38th year!!!!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

For the last several weeks I have been talking on the air and off the air with Pastor Mark Tross and Pastor Leonard Navarre about how close we all are to being on you-tube in 30 seconds. Charles Stanley was talking this morning about making sure we start our day with the Lord…….we get are heads on straight and pray for the Lord to be with us in our words and actions of the day. Already today, and it’s only 9am, I Have been up since 4am….but I know I will be tested many more times today……..if I did not start my day with my Lord…….WOW! I would say and do the dumbest things!!!! We have to stay close to the Lord every second of our breathing days! We can sin so easy! I have to say………I still sometimes say and do dumb things!

One of the fellows I have looked up to in my walk with Jesus Christ is Rick Warren. He brought us the wonderful book, “The Purpose Driven Life”. We need to pray for Rick as he has had one of those moments in his life that I am sure he regrets. He is backing down on his statements that he has made in the past about defending marriage.

Here is the news story from KKIM’s Frank Haley……………..

Pastor Rick Warren canceled an appearance on ABC’s This Week, just days after making contradictory statements regarding his stance on California’s Proposition 8 to end gay marriage.
Warren cited sickness and exhaustion for not appearing on the show Easter Sunday. Host George Stephanopoulos told viewers that the California pastor backed out of the interview “moments before” he was scheduled to air.
Stephanopoulos was expected to ask about Warren’s April 7 appearance on CNN, where he retracted an apparent endorsement of Proposition 8, the ballot measure that ended gay marriage in California last November.
“During the whole Proposition 8 thing, I never once went to a meeting, never once issued a statement, never once even gave an endorsement in the two years Prop. 8 was going,” Warren told CNN’s Larry King.
Before the November vote, however, Warren released a video urging Christians to support Prop 8. He contends that the video was not an endorsement.

Thanks Frank. You have to wonder what is going through Rick Warren’s mind. Please keep him in your prayers. This is a guy many, including myself, were calling the next Billy Graham.

Please keep Frank Haley and his lovely wife Alice in your prayers as they travel to Frank’s class reunion. Mistie Miles will be filling in for Frank.

Please pray for Richard Spray who does musical and theatre reviews on KKIM,. He fell last night at his daughters home in Taos, NM and severely injured his hip. Richard is in the Taos hospital. Please keep Raving Richard in your prayers.

Please pray for Cowboy Clarence of Socorro, NM as he has a virus that has hit him hard.

We have this praise note from Pat Outlaw on Shane who we have been praying for………

JUST SPREADING THE NEWS—SHANE WAS RELEASED FROM BAYLOR YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. WE ARE SO VERY GRATEFUL TO GOD, TO BAYLOR AND THEIR WONDERFUL DOCTORS AND STAFF.

I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND CONCERNS. WE FEEL HE WILL HAVE A LONG RECOVERY, BUT HAVING HIM AT HOME HOPEFULLY WILL HELP. HE HAS SPENT TEN DAYS AT HOME SINCE THE MIDDLE OF FEBRUARY. HE STILL HAS TWO DRAIN LINES TO HIS ABDOMANFOR A FEW MORE WEEKS. WE WILL TAKE HIM TO CLINIC TWO AND THREE TIMES A WEEK FOR AWHILE. HE IS OFF IV, PIC LINES OUT -ON ORAL MEDS AND NO MORE TEMP SO THE DOCTORS TOLD HIM YESTERDAY MORNING HE SHOULD GO HOME BEFORE HE CATCHES SOMETHING!

Here is a news release KKIM is going to put out tomorrow. PRAISE GOD!!!! We serve an AWESOME GOD!!!!

37 years ago to this day in 1974 Mr and Mrs Donald Hall flipped the switch and KKIM was on the air.

In 1974 Our Lord called Mr. Hall home. Just before he passed on Mr. Hall sold KKIM to the Christian Enterprise Network of Montana.

Harold Erickson the Head of the new ownership group said in 1974 that the top goals of KKIM were 1. Spread the Good News 2. Provide Inspirational programming. That holds true today even though KKIM has gone through a few ownership changes over the years.

KKIM is now owned by America General Media.

KKIM Manager Dewey Moede says, “The Lord has certainly poured His blessings upon the radio ministry of KKIM and KKIM has been blessed by so many wonderful broadcast leaders to see it through 37 years of service and our listenership continues to grow. American General Media added KKIM FM 94.7 two years ago and also streaming audio to our broadcast lineup, so we now reach the whole world! What would Mr. and Mrs. Hall think now?…….WOW! look at what they started through the grace of our Lord!!!!

Let us pray…………

Dear Lord, You know the heart of your servant Rick Warren, he and his wife have done wonderful work for your kingdom. Help them during this time of confusion. We pray that we all guard are tongues and actions………and that we stay strong for YOU. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family

Dear KKIM Family,

Let us make every week, Holy week!

From Chuck Swindoll’s book on Paul…………

In his book “Celebration of Discipline”, Richard Foster writes, “Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for DEEP people.”

Sharon and I were talking about this on our date night, Saturday night, (Yes! I got that from the Weekend To Remember Marriage Conference!, we do it every weekend! Even thou Lars says it sounds corny!) We all need to experience the deeper life in God and our marriages,and not be so fast about everything!

Chuck writes…….

The deeper life is a subject greatly admired but rarely experienced. In fact, it is seldom discussed, even though all of us would consider it of highest importance. We sing of virtues, but we don’t embrace them. We long for it’s quenching water, but rarely dip into it’s well. We love the benefits it affords, but our frenzied lifestyles crowd out their significance. Unless we’re compelled by the Lord Himself to accept the ingredients of the hidden life, either through a lengthy period of illness or some other cataclysmic event, depth of character remains a distant dream.

The mere fact that you listen to KKIM and read the Cup my friends shows that you desire to go deeper in your relationship with Christ.

Chuck continues…….

A major obstacle that prevents us from getting into a deeper relationship with Christ is our lifestyle. We’re simply to busy.

I’m not talking about a sabbatical every six or seven years. I’m not talking about disengaging from normal activities for months at a time. That’s not only impractical, it’s impossible for folks who have to earn a living. What I have in mind is brief periods of time when we deliberately slow down and meet, alone, with our God.

Dewey says……

Sharon and I did that this weekend, just by ourselves…for hours! It was AWESOME. I have to tell you though, that’s why I go to bed early at night to get up way early to spend time with the Lord and also pray about how to go about my day. I know many of you already do this…..but try to even spend more time with the Lord……….there is nothing as important as that! We need to be able to HEAR the Holy Spirit move in our lives.

Chuck says……….

A survey of the Scriptures reveals that those God used greatly were often prepared for those exploits during periods of solitude, quietness, and obscurity.

I am convinced that those sustained periods of preparation fueled the future effectiveness of each choice servant. They learned the value of growing deep, of spurning the shallow life so they could minister out of the overflow of the inner life. That is precisely why superficiality is the curse of our age. Our shallow lives offer no promise for living impact.

Dewey says………..

What do you focus on each day?

What do you spend most of your time thinking about?

Do you pray constantly?

Do you listen for the Lord?

How do you make a decision?

Do you FEEL the Lord working in your life?

Does the Lord MOVE you?

Has your well about run dry?

Or has it already ran dry?

Chuck says…………

We continue to run on empty until finally our lives fracture deep within. At that point we begin to sputter, clog and chunk, and finally grind to a complete stop. That’s when the truth comes out: Ministries fold, marriages crumble, children wander from the Lord unattended, and our character weakens to the point of blowout. Those painful experiences demonstrate that the dangers are real. We’re not nearly as resourceful as we think.

Dewey says………..

My prayer is that all of us will slow down………..and have God at the top of our mind! We are just coming off of Resurrection Sunday, Sharon and I pray that we celebrate it everyday…….not just once a year! That our relationship with God is an every second of the day relationship! Look to God……….Spend time with HIM!

When is the last time you and God really had a talk?

Live the deeper life……….Our world would be so much better………if we all would continue to grow in our daily walk with Jesus Christ. Sharon and I have many challenges in our life just like all of you. When we grow in our relationship with God, we find the true meaning of life………GOD.

As Paul wrote in Galatians……..

For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond servant of Christ.

Let us pray…………..

Dear Father,

We pray that we put to the side our will………….and let your will be done in on our lives. We turn our lives completely over to You. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
