Dear family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
We pray that God Blesses you and yours forever and ever! Amen!
From Chuck Swindoll’s book, ‘David’: “It’s as if God says, “I don’t care about all the slick public image business. Show me a person who has the character, and I’ll give him all the image he needs. I don’t require some certain temperament, I don’t care if he has a lot of charisma, I don’t care about size, I don’t care about an impressive track record. I care about character! First, is the person deeply authentic in his or her spiritual walk or is he faking it? And second, is he or she a servant?”
There is way too much ‘slick public image’ going on in this world we live in, and also in the Church.
So today on Facebook, Shari Hardway Johnson, The Jesus Chick, who posts here at FGGAM,we love her so much! Anyhow, she posts on Facebook that it is ‘National Cherish an Antique Day’…..and say’s “there are so many people I could tag on this post” LOL! I am thankful that Shari ‘Cherish’s’ this antique called Dewey! LOL LOL! It made my day…as I do feel like an ‘antique’ in this world……an old ‘fuddy duddy’ to be more like it!
Thanks for making me laugh today Shari……….It’s great to laugh at one’s self.
As I work everyday of my life in ministry for God’s Glory Alone….I feel more and more,’not of this world’ we are taught that, Amen! So today Shari’s post remided me of that…..and as we prepare for Resurrection Sunday………this scripture……
Jesus Before Pilate John 18: 35-37

…35Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?” 36Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” 37Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.”…
Let me go back to Chuck Swndoll’s book on ‘David’
I am stuck in Chapter 1! I find at times I get stuck on one chapter for days and weeks and have to absorb it, reabsorb it………and more and more! I’ts like a bottomless CUP!!!! LOL!!! Just like the BIBLE!!!!
My comments appear in (Dewey’s comments)………….
Swindoll writes….The first quality God saw in David was spirituality. “The Lord has sought out……a man after His own heart.”( I remember when I was first told that…that I was after God’s heart…..I wept with joy! I am still after God’s heart..everyday! Amen!) What does it mean to be a person after God’s own heart? Seems to me, it means that you are a person whose life is in harmony with the Lord. What is important to Him is important to you. What burdens Him burdens you. (I’m telling you folks, that not enough folks are burden with what burdens God!) When God says, “Go to the right,” you go to the right. When He says, “Stop that in your life,” you stop it. (He did that to me at KKIM and then sent me to FGGAM, and He did it to me in softball, a game I adore, He said STOP, I stopped.) When He says, “this is wrong and I want you to change,” you come to terms with it because you have a heart for God. (This is where so many struggle) That’s bottom line Biblical Christianity.
When you are deeply spiritual, you have a heart that is sensitive to the things of God. A parallel verse in 2 Chronicles confirms this:
For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. 2 Chronicles 16:9

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Today I have been praying for many people, my sister Deb who lost her Mother-in-Law back in Feb. Mary Rogers became like a Mom to Deb after our Mom passed away nearly 20 years ago. To my very good friends who are in the midst of doing taxes for others right now, Lew Wallach, Cathy and Ernie Beleanger, praying for you all during this time! My brother Craig Price, who used to be CPA, would sleep at his office during tax season on some nights! I also called my 93 year old Uncle Bob in Upland, California this morning, getting harder for him to hear…….time flies the older you get…..praying for Shirley Boone as she sit’s by her husbands bedside, Marv, my dear friend who is on his death bed. I am in tears as I write this, because I do not see this world we live in valuing life. I posted a story at FGGAM.ORG this morning about a Jesuit Priest who was murdered in Syria.

Jesuit Priest Murdered In Syria

I struggle with a world that stands by and let’s the killing of women and children and Daddy’s go on in Syria and other parts of the world, like Sudan. Also praying for my friend Angelo Winfield and family as his Mother has cancer and is under hospice care.
Please keep all in your prayers.
Seven Perfect Words………….
In Gethsemane, Jesus is locked in combat with a human desire we all recognize: to avoid pain, to hold onto life, to win against death. In these dark night hours, Jesus’s flesh and feelings are at war. “If it is possible…,” he groans.
Do you see what is at stake for us in that struggle? If Jesus’s human desire does not lose, we will never win. If He doesn’t suffer this temptation, we will never be able to overcome when we are tempted.
Until Gethsemane, Jesus’s life has been one continual yes to the Father. And that doesn’t change this night in the garden. The only begotten Son is on a mission of love and the Father’s desire is for Jesus to finish the work He has been sent to do.
Where does Jesus find the strength to overcome? I find the answer in seven perfect words in Luke 22:42…..
Not my will, but thine, be done.
At Gethsemane, although Satan has done his best to confuse and deceive Him, Jesus chooses painful obedience. If choice is one side of the coin in overcoming temptation, then cost is the other.
Not my will, but thine, be done.
He is willing to lose all so that we can win all.
Michael Card in ‘A Violent Grace’
Very powerful, very moving, do you agree?
I pray that we never forget those seven perfect words, I pray everyday that they are on the tip of our tongue.
We fight that human desire everyday don’t we….
We are at war with the flesh……..is your life one continual YES TO GOD?
WOW! Think of life as one continual YES TO GOD!
Amen!
We sure try and avoid pain and death don’t we……….
Satan tried to confuse and deceive Jesus, He chose painful obedience…….
What is your hourly choice?
Are you prepared for one of those middle of the night phone call’s out of the blue. How do you prepare for that 6am phone call I got from my brother on April 19th, 1992 Easter morning that our Dad had died suddenly of a heart attack? Can you prepare for those calls at all? How do you prepare for that call that your family member was just in a bad car wreck at 3am? or how about a call that your son has been arrested?
We are so very blessed here at FGGAM by this real life story by Shonda Savage. I say blessed, because we are blessed by her sharing the heartache and the victories of her family. This is real life. It takes a very strong person of God to share what Shonda shares. She shares because God has told her to do so, to help others. Some ‘talk it’, but Shonda and her husband Eldon and son Stephen put it out there for God’s people. I believe a book and movie will come out of this for God’s Glory Alone! God has shown me a book and movie for this family as a testimony!
Let me turn this over to Shonda………..
I’ve prayed God’s word for many years now and I’ve seen God do amazing things.

Stephen in Cameroon
When my oldest son, Stephen, was sixteen, we went on a short-term missions trip to Cameroon, Africa, together. While there, I saw the call of God on his life to minister the Word. But after we returned from Africa, Stephen began to turn away from the things of God and he began his prodigal journey.
Though I had concern, okay I’ll be honest—though I worried about him, I thought he would experience some trouble like most of us have. I figured he would go through the “I want to party and be irresponsible phase” and then eventually come to his senses like the boy in Luke 15.
I even had other people tell me, “Don’t worry Momma; he’ll be okay.” My friends with adult children went through similar experiences with their sons and daughters, and their kids finally got realistic and turned into productive members of society. I believed that would happen for Stephen.
As a mother, I prayed regularly for my son. After writing a Bible Study on Hosea, I came across a Scripture that I prayed specifically for Stephen. I prayed Hosea 2:6 which reads:

“Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths” (ESV).

A hedge is like a fence. It can be used to keep out things you don’t want in or to keep things in, which you don’t want to let out. In the above passage, God blocked Gomer, who was Hosea’s adulteress wife, from pursuing her own wicked desires.
God answered, however, in a way I least expected.
Stephen began drifting off. Though he drank and dabbled with drugs, he had never had a DWI, or any drug related charges.
But when we received the middle of the night phone callthat he had been arrested, my mind could not conceive it. That was not who my son was or who he is. I never imagined him capable of doing such a horrible thing.
Struck hard by this tragedy, I became filled with brokenness and heartache for the losses that happened to the victims and their families. And at the sense of loss of all the potential I knew that was in my son to live a productive life.
At that moment in time,I had to make a choice —
believe God or turn away from Him.
In John 6, Jesus taught some hard teaching that many people of his time couldn’t understand so they deserted him. Jesus asked his closest disciples, “Are you going to leave me too? Simon Peter replied, ‘Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life’” (John 6:68).
I knew in my heart that there was no where else to turn.
God was and is all I have to hold onto. Apart from Him there is NO LIFE!
Nine months after that tragic night and after the middle of the night phone call, Stephen was convicted and sentenced to twenty years in state prison by jury.
So it seemed that God was not answering my prayer for my prodigal son to return home — to return to the God of his youth.

Stephen in TDCJ library
However, after Stephen’s conviction, the Lord showed me He did answer my prayer. He reminded me of how I prayed Hosea 2:6 and God literally “fenced” or “hedged” in my son by placing him in prison.
In a prison cell, Stephen repented and returned to the Lord. He began witnessing to those around him and has led other inmates to Christ. (I shared this Easter salvation testimony last year — Rejoice Over One.) Stephen has planted the word of God in men who will other wise never hear the gospel because in prison, church is optional and even if you choose to go, there are only so many seats available and it’s a first come first serve by dorm.
In the midst of my worst nightmare, I continue to chose to believe God. I decided to stand on God’s word because He loves my son more than I do.
I truly believe that if God had not “hedged” my son in and he had been released or used as a witness instead of being convicted as an accessory, he would not have turned away from the lifestyle he was delving into. And to confirm that, I recently received a letter and this is what Stephen wrote:
“I’m sure God spared me from a lot! Speaking of addictions and what not. If God had not pulled me away from that lifestyle, I would most likely gone even further down hill. I probably would have become addicted to drugs and only gotten worse. So I thank God He saved me.”
So my friends, see our prayers are powerful. God answers our prayers, but not always like we expect. We must trust that God knows what is best for us and our loved ones even when we do not understand.
********************
Stephen shares the love of Christ deep inside the prison walls — his assigned mission field at this time. Stephen serves in places that prison ministries cannot reach as those ministries are limited. Attending church services and weekly classes are optional for qualified inmates. Not all inmates are qualified to attend based on their behavior status.
Because of where Stephen is serving, I ask you to pray for him that he will be a light of Jesus our Savior to men that many have rejected and forgotten about. I also ask you to pray for his protection and safe keeping.

“Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself” (Hebrews 13:3 NLT).

And finally, if you have a loved one doing time, I’d love to pray for you. The family here at FGGAM would love to pray for you. You are not alone. Please leave your prayer requests in the comments and I (and/or others from FGGAM) will respond in the comments with a prayer for you.
Thank you so much for blessing so many with this story Shonda, Eldon and Stephen. We love you all!
Let us be in constant prayer for Stephen, Shonda, Eldon and the entire family.
For Gods Glory Alone in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, Dewey, Sharon and Family and all at FGGAM!
Let us keep praying for each other and our families

Dear Family of our Lord Jesus Christ,
How are you today? Thank you for being with us! Love to you and yours!
Here is an email we got yesterday……
Dear Dewey,
I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts with Dewey’s Daily Cup and For God’s Glory Alone Ministries. Your commentary has always brought attention to issues on our community that God fearing people should take note of, and your attitude is one of gratitude, which we can all learn from. We all need, and indeed in many cases seek, guidance or direction each and everyday we get up and address our day. Through scripture guidance and personal philosophy, you provide that ray of hope, that beacon of light to move forward in a positive way. Your undying Faith is a pillar for any and everyone who knows you. Throughout the years I have been blessed to watch you make these programs successful with little or no assets to get started. Your tireless work to make this work is such an incredible example of Faith, hard work, and a passion for providing spiritual guidance with a positive attitude.
My family and I have endured our own special issues, family difficulties, and hardships yet, through all of it you have been a source of strength. Whether it was through your Cup, FGGAM or a personal call to let me know you are thinking of us, it always seems to be the perfect message at the most perfect time! I truly believe that there are many more like me that are affected in a positive way because of your efforts but simply don’t write in to let you know. More importantly, there are those that are facing life changing or life altering situations in their life and have reached a point of hopelessness when your message is the only hope available at their darkest hours. We may never know completely how far your reach is, and truthfully I don’t think it is important to know, but, it is important to know you are reaching them. Your continued effort will always shine the Light on that which is dark, provide guidance for the lost through scripture, cast a smile upon those who don’t think they can take one more step, and provide a platform for those seeking help to receive it with open arms. I know this only because I have seen it firsthand. Dewey, may God Bless you and your family always, and may He shine His light upon all your endeavors. It is indeed wonderful to know you are never alone.
Warmest Regards,

Rick Griffin in Albuquerque

Megachurch Pastor Bob Coy Resigns, Confesses Moral Failure

Report: Mickey Rooney Had Accepted Jesus

‘The World We Live In’ Today at 12:05pm MT On KDAZ AM730

Have you read any of Chuck Swindoll’s books? WOW! I just love the man’s writings!
I am reading again his book on ‘David’ I learn every time I read this book, just like I learn every time I read the Bible.
What is coming through to me as I read the book again, is CONSISTENCY…
I have been taught to be consistent, I was taught that at an early age, at home, in school and Sunday school.
I have a very DEEP APPRECIATION for all those that post at FGGAM and for the one’s that post most everyday. And for those that consistently support FGGAM. They are consistent in our Lord.
I know all of you have had experience with inconsistent people. I admit, I am a sticker for consistency and I am very hard on myself when I think I am not being consistent.
Inconsistency is something I observe almost daily, even from Christians even Pastor’s.
When you say something, believe it, believe that you can do it with the Lord guiding you.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

Revelation 3:15-16

“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
Do not commit to something that the Lord has not confirmed for you to do.
People sometimes want so much to do something so bad to help, that they over commit. They commit to something they cannot do. I understand that, as I have done that.
It is better not commit or it is better to under commit than to commit or over commit.
The inconsistency of Christians is not the testimony we want to put forward. I see people start something, commit to something and then drop out of sight, whether it’s a ministry, a program, support, family activity, counseling for themselves, stop smoking, stop drinking or whatever they may commit to.
We still post our news headlines on facebook (We plan to continue that) and I will post a few personal notes there, but nothing like I used to. I am sadden as to how many Christians are using facebook to air their dirty laundry or the dirty laundry of others or even worse yet, use vulgar language. This all fit’s into, inconsistent behavior and a horrible testimony to an unbelieving world. Too many Christians are showing an unbelieving world just what they want to see, CRAZY OUT OF CONTROL CHRISTIANS.
I have come to the realization over the years that inconsistency hurts God.
It hurts the Kingdom.
It sure does not fit under ‘Kingdom Keepers’
I posted today a letter from Rick Griffin where he talks about the ministry of the Daily CUP and FGGAM.
17 years of consistency. Now, yes, there are some days I do not post when I get tied up with ministry work or I am out of town, for that I apologize, but I try to be consistent. People like Karen Rowe have filled in for me and I am forever grateful for that!
Many people seem amazed when I will call or email asking how they are or how the Doctor’s appointment went, they wonder how I remember, so do I! LOL!

Some days it is hard, I wait upon the Lord for the message to post on the CUP, the one HE wants me to post. I sit in front of that cold hard looking computer screen some mornings and say Lord take my fingers and land them on the keys you want them to land on! LOL! Please pray me up everyday as I prepare to post.
People want to see a consistent message, they want to see that you are consistent.
One of the reasons we are in trouble down here on earth is because of ‘inconsistent behavior’.
Even Christians.
Being now here at FGGAM, we rely on all volunteers and supporters. I have such a DEEP APPRECIATION for those that have been consistent with us now for 18 months. We also have been having new people join us and we are so thankful for that. It takes consistent people for a ministry to be consistent.
I pray that we all become more consistent for Jesus Christ and His Kingdom! Amen!
For God’s Glory Alone in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ, Dewey, Sharon, family and FGGAM.
Let us keep praying for each other and our families.
