Just some more from the "T" man

Hello everyone! I have been trying my best to keep up with my blog and I appreciate all the folks that still come around and read what I have to say.
Every where I look I see the prophecies of the Bible coming to pass. If there has ever been an exciting time to be alive its now, but with that excitement comes a great responsibility. We must be ready for our lord's eminent coming while engaging the world around us with the kingdom of God. We must be the voice of one crying in the wilderness for our generation.
It seems that every preacher is preaching the same thing. The time for games and masks is over. We must arise as a people and be truly ready for the coming of our Lord. How hard it is to let go of the everyday stuff and grasp the eternal.
I was reminded of a saying in the movie Gladiator recently. Maximus (Russel Crowe) stands before his men about to ride into battle. Within his great oration he utters a wonderful phrase that I wish to strive to live my life by. He looks to his army and says, "...Men what we do in life, echoes in eternity."
Oh that the people of God would grasp this statement. When all is gone and faded away and we humans of shadows and dust are gone, what will be left? Let us live these last days ready for our Lord's return. Watching and praying.

That's My King

This is a message from a man called S.M. Lockridge. It is a bit lengthy, but trust me it's worth the read! It's called "That's my King." I first heard it in a video presentation at my home church. You can view the video on you tube. Just search: (sm lockridge that's my king) I would highly recommend it. If it doesn't bring chills to your skin your spiritually dead! :-)

The Bible says my king was born king.
He's the King of the Jews.
He's the King of Isreal.
He's the King of righteousness.
He's the King of the ages.
He's the King of Heaven.

That's my king, I wonder do you know him?

He's the supreme problem in higher criticism.
He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology.
He's the cardinal necessity for spiritual religion.
He's the miracle of the age.
He's the only one qualified to be an all sufficient savior.
I wonder if you know him today?

He supplies strength for the weak.
He's available for the tempted and the tried.
He sympathizes and He saves.

His goodness is limitless.
His mercy is everlasting.
His love never changes.
His word is enough.
His grace is sufficient.

His yoke is easy,
and his burden is light.

I wish I could describe him to you.
But he's indescribable.
He's incomprehensible.
He's invincible.
He's irresistible.
You can't get him out of your mind.
You can't get him off of your hand.
You can't outlive him,
and you can't live without him.

The pharisees couldn't stand him,
but they found out they couldn't stop him.
Pilate couldn't find any fault in him.
Herod couldn't kill him.
Death couldn't handle him, and the grave couldn't hold him.
That's my king, That's my king!!
