Just wanted to drop a line and let everyone know that I am doing fine. Thanks to everyone that has emailed me. Your emails are so encouraging and it is great to here from my friends "back home".
So many people keep asking me why I left the radio station after almost ten years. It is amazing the different reasons that I hear and I'm 1100 miles away. I can only imagine what is being said at ground zero.
The reason why I left is not important. What is important is the here and now. Now is the time to examine our hearts and find out, truthfully, where we stand before a loving, awesome God. Now is the time to reflect back on His mercy, His grace and realize that we need to reach out to people in the Spirit of that Love. Now is the time to get back to the Heart of Christ, love for God, love for your neighbor.
Sometimes I think we as a Christian people can get caught up in the cares of the world. It's not about money. Its not about having a red Corvette, a Harley and a Range Rover. Christ told us that if we had two cloaks and someone was cold we should give them one. How much greater the command when we have two cars, a motorcylce, a boat, two homes, ect and there are people sitting in our churches that have termination notices for electric. Where is the heart of Christ then? No - Christ doesn't want us poor - He wants us to Love one another, to take care of one another.
And for the record, I don't see in the Bible where Jesus was a rich man. That's just unscriptural and comes from a carnal mind. Jesus could have called riches into His life just as He could have turned the stones to bread but He didn't.
The election for President is coming in less then two months. Who will you vote for and why? Forget what the opinion makers from both sides are saying - what is God telling you? God speaks to the individual heart. It is your heart that you are responsible for. What is he telling you? You need to know that before you go out to vote.
These are just some of the things that are on my mind as I sit in a thatched roof cabana by the ocean. It is beautiful here. 80 degrees and sunny, flowers blooming and the ocean is blue.
Once again, Thanks for all of the emails and letters. I appreciate hearing from you! Perhaps I will get into why I left the radio station in a future post.
May God continue to bless you and your families! Have a great day!
