Hi KKIM Family,
I just wanted to pass along the word that I have a HUGE praise note! For more than a couple of years, and I am sure some gave up on us, we have said that one day we would have Daily Cup Archives. Well PRAISE GOD that day has come thanks to Our Lord and Jannetta La Mort. I remember years ago my dear friend Doug Moore at WFRN said we should do this………now it has happened! So just go to www.deweysdailycup.com you can read many past DDC’s! Read and enjoy and PRAISE GOD!
before I leave……….
Put in a few good words……..
If you’ve ever said hurtful things(like me), you know harsh words impoverish the spirit.
“Words challenge and change us. Words deeply effect us. An unruly and unkind tongue can wound us.” explains Paul F. Davis, author of breakthrough for a Broken heart. “That being said, anything spoken to you contrary to the Word of God can be discarded as you renew your mind according to Scripture.”
Learn to combat negative words with God’s Word. If someone says to you, “You are a loser,” don’t think on that untruth. Instead, remind yourself that God says, “You are the head and not the tail. You are an over comer! You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.”
What are you saying to your friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances? Do you build up with your words, or do you tear down?
“taming the tongue begins with harnessing your emotions and the anger within,” Davis said. “Our words essentially are an overflow of what dwells within our hearts. Purify your heart and your speech will coincide.”
Practice building up the people in your life this week. Start with phrases like these:
“You make my life happier just being in it.”
“I love you, and believe in you.”
“You have special qualities that no one else has.”
“You are a gift from God.”
And finally these words: “You can do it!” Yes, you can change the way you give and receive words. And it’s a powerful choice.
This is from the August edition of Home Life magazine.
I did two things as I wrote this………..asked for forgiveness from those who I have offended by my words and then told Sharon and text the kids many “BUILD UP” words.
Singer John Waller is encouraging people to consider the power of their words through his hit song, “The Blessing”
He says he based the song’s lyrics on Deuteronomy 30:19 “The power to bless and to curse is in the tongue.”
I was not going to post and write all this but the Lord moved within me today to share this with you all……………….
One more thing from Jose at www.nmwatchman.com Jose reports for KKIM during the Legislative season.
The Bible is Illegal at the Democratic Convention
Jose Vasquez August 25th, 2008
Dear Friends,
Please pray for those attending the Democratic Convention this week.
On May 29, 2008, Colorado’s Democratic Governor Bill Ritter signed into law Senate Bill 200, which makes it illegal to say anything derogatory about homosexuals. Senate Bill 200 expands Colorado’s “anti-discrimination” law to cover sexual orientation, not only homosexuality and bisexuality, but also an undefined condition called “transgender” which appears to occur only as a perception of the individual so affected. The result is that a transgender man is now legally allowed into women’s bathrooms and locker rooms.
To speak ill of anyone’s sexual orientation is a violations of this law and is punishable by a fine up to three hundred dollars and imprisonment for not more than one year.
The Bible speaks clearly and definitively against homosexuality in several passages as it does in Romans 1:26-27. There is a problem here, then, with anyone traveling to Denver this week to the Democratic Convention. These Bible verses are “hate speech” and therefore against the law. And you may not want to share a bathroom with a person of the opposite sex.
Just to make sure, we checked the 2008 Democratic Platform. The convention states, “Democrats will fight to end discrimination based on race, sex, ethnicity, national origin, language, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, and disability in every corner of our country, because that’s the America we believe in.” [Democratic Platform Page 52]
Apparently freedom of religion includes everything but Christians and freedom of speech does not include our Bible.
God bless you for your prayers.
In the name of Jesus,
Jose Vasquez
God’s Love to you all,
Dewey Sharon and family
