Dear KKIM Family,
God does not primarily delight in using what we bring to the table. He delights in what we surrender to Him. -Crawford Loritts, Jr.
Read that again please……..pray over it.
Let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions 1 John 3:1
It is so AWESOME to be with you today!
Let us give PRAISE and GLORY to GOD!!!
Here is a question for Pastor’s and congregations……….
Is your Church viewed as a negative, irrelevant, or positive factor in your community? What might need to change if anything?
And I ask that of myself of the Cup and KKIM!
As posted above Let’s not merely say that we love each other, let us show the truth by our actions 1 John 3:18
According to the New Testament, God wills that the church be a people who show what God is like. Stanley Grenz
Last night on NM News and Views weekdays at 4:30 on www.mykkim.com we talked about how everyone of us is tempted by sin everyday………and how we have to remain strong in God’s word……..how we have to be strong together……..how we have to put the Armour of God on everyday! We need to be praying constantly.
We are all one step away from doing something stupid!
In recent days we have heard about the Albuquerque Baseball Coach who has been a role model for many over the years get fired for doing something very stupid……
The former Sec. of State of NM was indicted this week on several charges……..
We read yesterday how Elizabeth Edwards is dealing with her husband, John, former Democratic candidate for President, and his affair and apparently fathering the child of his mistress, and how Mrs Edwards is fighting for her life as she has cancer.
We get weak in the flesh……….and can sin……..remain strong in God’s word…….remain strong in friendships with Christians.
We here at the Cup and KKIM are here to help you in your daily walk with Jesus Christ. Ed Moore taught me that years ago…..How is your walk with the Lord going Dewey? A question we need to ask ourselves everyday! I ask it of myself several times a day!
Here is a note from a friend……………
Hi Dewey,
I’d like to request prayer to lift this depression and anxiety I’ve been experiencing. And to learn to live day by day, in the now, without worrying about the future. And for the Lord to show me my purpose so my life has meaning.
Thanks,
Gwen
Gwen, I have been where you are at.it is no fun! What we have been talking about today…The love of the Church………praying………….reading God’s word………being around other Christians……..will be a big help. Also reading two books on worry…….I have handed out all my copies of the Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer. Also Max Lucado has a new book out titled, Fearless. We will be praying for you……I know you will find so much comfort in God’s word……….picture yourself being held in the arms of God!
Also Gwen and my dear friends read the following from Max Lucado and it will bring you peace………….
Death: Because of Christ, You Can Face It.
by Max Lucado
As heart surgeries go, mine was far from the riskiest. But any procedure that requires four hours of probes inside your heart is enough to warrant an added prayer. So on the eve of my surgery, Denalyn, I, and some kind friends offered our share. We were staying at a hotel adjacent to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. We asked God to bless the doctors and watch over the nurses. After we chatted a few minutes, they wished me well and said good-bye. I needed to go to bed early. But before I could sleep, I wanted to offer one more prayer…alone.
I took the elevator down to the lobby and found a quiet corner and began to think. What if the surgery goes awry? What if this is my final night on earth? Is there anyone with whom I should make my peace? Do I need to phone any person and make amends? I couldn’t think of anyone. (So if you are thinking I should have called you, sorry. Perhaps we should talk.)
Next I wrote letters to my wife and daughters, each beginning with the sentence “If you are reading this, something went wrong in the surgery.”
Then God and I had the most honest of talks. We began with a good review of my first half century. The details would bore you, but they entertained us. I thanked him for grace beyond measure and for a wife who descended from the angels. My tabulation of blessings could have gone on all night and threatened to do just that. So I stopped and offered this prayer: I’m in good hands, Lord. The doctors are prepared; the staff is experienced. But even with the best of care, things happen. This could be my final night in this version of life, and I’d like you to know, if that’s the case, I’m okay.
And I went to bed. And slept like a baby. As things turned out, I recovered from the surgery, and here I am, strong as ever, still pounding away at the computer keyboard. One thing is different, though. This matter of dying bravely?
I think I will.
May you do the same.
Pleas pray for Pastor Jim Montoya and his family as they vacation in Colorado………….Please pray for Pastor Mark Tross’s family as they gather for the funeral of their Dad……..Please pray for Pastor Marvin Capehart and Pastor Larry Moss for health concerns.
Let us pray…………..
Lord, we know there are other believers everywhere praying right now. We are glad that we do not pray alone. Whatever is on their heart, we share with them. In the name of Jesus, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
