Forgeting the Past

Hello everyone! I have just posted a new video blog on the Church of God MPGT community facebook page.  Go over there and check it out.  Once I get really good at posting and keeping my videos under 10 mins I will be posting them to You tube and sharing them to this page. 
I wanted to encourage you all to press toward the mark.  Philippians 3:13-14
Paul writes to the Philippian church:  "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended:  but this one thing I do, Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Paul knew how he persecuted the Church he was quite aware of his faults and mistakes, however, because he was sure of the new creature he was in Christ, having a greater purpose in spreading the Gospel, he did not let his past keep him from doing what God called for him to do.  We too cannot let guilt from past mistakes creep up in our present life and send us into depression or self pity and distract us from our purpose. We are justified by faith and no longer have to feel the guilt of our past.  God has great things for you, press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus! The Devil is a liar, You have been called for such a time as this to carry out his purpose for your life, Don't let anyone stop you from being about your fathers business, forget the past and press forward to your future!  God bless!

All I have to Give

There is nothing that I could give to God except the one thing that he desires and that Is my life. Everyday I am reminded of how pitiful I am without Him in my life.  So many times I feel like what is the use, Lord I feel so inadequate to do your will, but all along he gave me everything I needed to give him my all.  I am his workmanship and he is marveling over what he put in me.  The problem is me,  I realize that the one thing that I have to give to God is my life.  It is all that I have to give, It is all you have to give, so give it all to him, heart, mind body and soul!  I have nothing else to bring to the table but that of the one thing he granted me and that is life.  My prayer is that we all realize that we are his workmanship,  we once were lost, without order and our lives were Godless, but he loved us so much that he adopted us into His royal family that we too have the opportunity to have fellowship with God, that we to have the...

Catching up!

Hey everyone! My how I've missed my blog page!  I am sorry I haven't put a single post on here in May, but I was taking my last class before graduating and I needed total concentration on the task at hand.  Not that ministry ever stopped as those of you know me and were either at the small group back in May or at Church service on Sunday.  I am still about my Father's business and I have finished class with an A and I an now done with school completely!  How about all this rain!  WOW! It is scary to see so much devastation going on from the weather, my heart and prayers go out to all who have been  affected.  One more sign that let's us know that Jesus will be coming for his church and I don't know about you, but I don't want to be all lip service, but I  want my walk to stand before me when Jesus comes back.  I will post the next Nuggets of Faith small group meeting time and place shortly, but I just wanted to say I'VE MISSED YOU!...
