You Might've Noticed...

As some of you have probably seen, as you've most likely come here looking for a particular article or content, a lot of it has been moved to this blog. Basically, this makes the content more searchable by search engines, what with blogs having labels and tags and stuff, and it keeps me from having to author whole new sections of the site just to publish a new type of article or content. Now I can just publish it right here on this blog. So, many of the pages (and sections) have been deleted, and I've set up the site to handle 404 errors (file not found) by sending users to this page, where they will probably find the content that's been deleted from elsewhere.

I hope this helps explain away any confusion...

True Romance

I wonder if she knew you, my dear.
Laying awake at night, waiting out the end of the torrent
The flood of tears, the flood of harsh words spoken.
I wonder if she'd met you, my love.
I know that I'd hardly known her myself.
Hidden behind a shroud of silence and shallowness
Perhaps in fear that if the real her showed up,
She'd find herself more alone and helpless than she already was.
Someone should've introduced her to you, my dear.
Someone who knew that even though her body and mind were bruised,
And the only love she had truly known was in the pages
Of magazines about other people's lives,
She could've always counted on you, my love.
It is cliche, but if only I knew then what I know now.
You could've taught her how to walk on her sea of tears,
Even when she had long since become bent on drowning.
Now I know that there was someone who could have shown her True Romance,
If only she had met you, my love.
Though she left this world empty, she has left a bit of herself behind
Teaching others in their youth to handle things the way she did.
The legacy lives on.
And so does yours.
This time I will be more aware, more steadfast.
I will introduce her to you, my dear...
...Savior.

Thank you notes to GOD

There was a time I dwelt in darkness,
for I did not know the light.

There was a time I lived without faith,
for I lived with all hope lost.

There was a time I did not  love my self,
for I learned to live without love.

Time passed and I was content 
to sit  in darkness because
I was never shown your might.

But then you reached up and
beheld me in your light,
lifting me up, so that I could see.

You spoke to me in your 
many silent songs,
and gave my faith wings
to set me free.

How can you truly know what you lost
if you do not know it's gone?

You waited, you stayed, ever knowing, ever loving. 

Though I  had  lost Faith in my self
you  never lost Faith in me.

There was a time, I looked up and smiled
and was at peace... thank you.

Sometimes This Is What I am Thinking Of 

In spite of the rainy days 
God always comes through
Even though I wonder why he did it
His love for us never changes
Sometimes we all get mad
And make mistakes
But still Jesus was still always right there
When we repent and tell him sorry
Sometimes I want to cry
When I remember of how he died
For me and you so that we might have everlasting life
Sometimes I want to give my all
At times I feel it’s not my best
But I know in God’s eyes he’s smiling down on all of us
Showing us that we all done perfect 
Sometimes I want to just thank him
Because he’s so worthy
Sometimes I feel, feel so deeply of his love
That I just want to spread the news out to the whole wide world
That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life
And he loves you just as who you are
He takes you in, renews your soul
And makes you a right spirit
Just to read his word
And to do his will 
Sometimes that’s all that I am thinking of

CONTRADICTIONS

Life is full of contradictions.
We live to die,
We work to pay,
We play to keep sane.

Some believe, some don't.
If you don't believe,
then why are you here?

We create questions,
so we can have answers.
We create answers,
so we can have questions.

Why do we live in a world of
should haves & could haves?
Why not make our own reality?
Instead of being upset or unconscious.

Life is what we make of it.
So, what will you do with yours?

I now know that I was made to Love You!!

A REASON TO GO ON

When you feel there is nothing to live for,
Remember:
Your daughter's wedding day,
and she cries as she says,
"I wish mom were here with us."

When you despair, and lose all hope,
Remember:
Your first grandchild's birth,
and your only son says,
"Mom would have loved to be here."

When you are self-absorbed to the point
where you could destroy the gift of life you've been given,
Remember:
Your husband's face, streaming with an avalanche of tears,
as he imagines the rest of his life without you.

When there is nothing left inside, except an empty hole,
Remember:
The day your mom died,
and you weren't there to hold her lonely hand,
kiss her, and say goodbye.

Imagine THESE Realities:
An empty seat at the dinner table
Tearful Christmas mornings.
A garden, left untended.
Your familiar smells, gone.
Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren you will never meet, and they will never meet you.
The memory of you will fade, over time..........

This truly is "A Wonderful Life", and it would be "Sadder still to watch it die".
Remember that life is not just about today and the sadness that sometimes encompasses us.
There will be moments to treasure in our lives, even if we have to wait for them.
We do not belong to ourselves.
We were not put here to gratify ourselves.
We are here to touch others, and add to the quality
of other's lives.

Lost Your Patience??
Remember God's!!!

There are times when I feel that I have lost all patience.
I start to get upset & complain about things that are going
on around me, I feel overwhelmed, then I stop and remember
God's Patience.

How often have I strayed from the path & purpose that He
has set before me? How often have I turned from His
outstretched hand, knowingly?!
Yet there He is despite my disobedience.
Thank you God for your persistent patience & love!!

When I start to feel as if my patience is dwindling, I now
stop and remember Yours. I then quickly remember that
my life is not my own but Yours, forever & always!!

When I try to reach out to people and they don't reach back,
I remember God's Patience!

God, thank you for always watching over me & being
Patient!!!

The Evil Power of
To:

An attempt to educate the masses
by Bryce L. Tomlinson

I'm writing this because it desperately needs to be said. It's not because I choose to be hurtful or bitter toward anyone. I've had to send similar emails to people before, and it's always seemed to cause needless problems, and in fact, some individuals almost never email me anymore. And that is sad.

I really love hearing from my family and friends, and I appreciate that they think of me often enough to send me things.

...but...

EVERYONE needs to learn about the Evil Power of To:.

This is a gripping attempt to teach people why they get SPAM, and why all of their friends get SPAM, as well as how these disturbing "e" mailing lists are amassed.

If you must send something that you are sending to a multitude of people, PLEASE put all of those people's email addresses (especially MINE) on the "BCC:" (blind carbon copy) line of that email INSTEAD of the "TO:" line. I have a very legit reason for requesting this...

Programs are being used by HUGE corporations now, which monitor email addresses of all kinds of people, and they "harvest" email addresses from the messages they receive. i.e. you send a message to Bob, Sally, John, and Sarah. Sarah sends the message to Mary, Joe, Kerry, and Max. It just so happens that Kerry works for Office Max, and Sarah only has her work email "kerry@officemax.net" and it just so happens that Office Max has a contract with a company which sends out random Office Max offers to people through mass emailings. This company has been authorized to use a program which "harvests" addresses from everyone's email on officemax.net, and since Kerry gets the message at work, this contractor now has the addresses of Bob, Sally, John, Sarah, Mary, Joe and Max, not to mention Kerry, and of course, YOU. So the next thing you know this company sends out Office Max offers to Sarah, Mary, Joe, Max, Bob, Sally John, and you. Then they sell all those addresses to other similar mass mailing companies, possibly including ones about breakfast cereals, home security systems, auto insurance, and maybe even a farm animal or two.

The point is, there is not one person who is immune to spam. The only ways to prevent it are to (A) delete it instead of forwarding it, (B) only sending it to one person at a time (thusly eliminating the possibility that someone might harvest OTHER addresses from a single email), and (C) using the BCC: line instead of the TO: line... one easy way to do this is to put your OWN email address on the TO: line (thusly sending it only to yourself--but wait!) and then putting all the other email addresses on the BCC: line. This way everyone's addresses stay private, the way they should. Even then though, it seems someone inevitably gets you once in a while.

By putting my email address on the TO: line of a message you send to lots of people, you give them, and many others, access to my personal address, which is much the same as giving them my phone number, at least as far as I'm concerned. How many times have you opened up a forwarded message from someone and literally had to sift through 5 or more pages of other people's addresses before you actually got to the content of the message? Believe me, ALL of those addresses have been harvested by these mass mailing companies.

Please don't take this wrong.... Like I said, I love to hear from my family and friends, and I like a joke or an interesting headline about as much as anyone else. But at the expense of exposing my email to everyone on the net, I have to object. At least one of my email accounts is virtually unusable because of spam, and I'd hate to have to abandon any other addresses just because people choose not to educate themselves about the Evil Power of To:.

Study Notes - Sunday Morning Sermon, January 20th & 27th, 2008

U 'n' I-TY

To get the results that God has promised, I must commit myself to the process that God has outlined.

The presence of God is realized through UNITY
The power of God is released through UNITY
The purpose of God is recognized by UNITY

Greatness is the result of intention.
Greatness is fulfilled living.

We are made to rule, reign, prevail, against ANYTHING - TOGETHER.

Acts 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. (KJV)

We MUST work together...
* ...at working together
* ...at being unified
* ...within ourselves - FIRST!

Satan cannot create a thing - he can only pervert a thing.

Matthew 18:19-20
19Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

This means working w/REAL PEOPLE.
I have to accept YOU for YOU.
You have to accept ME for ME.
We have to commit ourselves to doing our best.

U 'n' I-TY:
* We are made to prevail against anything-TOGETHER!
* God's strategy for success is TEAMWORK!
* Definition: agreement, harmony, accord, union, unanimity.

Division:
* It is the work of the devil.
* It is the work of the flesh.
* It is the work of immaturity.
* Definition: separation, dissection, split, rift, break, schism

When God says, "Let them have dominion," he is talking ABOUT us, talking TO Himself and all creation.
* Let: Allow, give permission, consent, permit, agree to.
* Them: The people in right relationship with God.
* Have: posess, own, retain, hold, control, contain, obtain, get, gain, experience, partake of, engage in, take part in, enjoy.
* Many of us have not seen dominion yet.
* You don't have to pray for dominion, just act in UNITY!
* If you don't move into the position of UNITY, you will not experience the dominion God has put over you.
* God gave dominion to US, not to ME.

UNITY is what makes us believable:
* It is impossible to be in His image AND be divided.
* God is not interested in your promotion - He equips you to help others.
* If I fly off the handle, it's because I'm off the handle. How I handle myself tells about what's inside.
* I can't be right with God if I'm not right with you.
* If you really want UNITY, make a list of all the relationships in your life where there is a rift. Take that list and place it on an altar where you can see it daily. Share it with an accountability partner. Put red ink over each name - and ask God to cover the conflict with the Blood of Jesus.

We live in a body, but we are spirit.
We must work at it -- ALL THE TIME.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could just pray about a conflict, and it be over? But really, as soon as you're don't praying, you'll face the conflict again.

Levels of Conflict:
PEBBLE: Let it slide.
ROCK: Hurts, proceed with caution.
STONE: Don't Go There.
BOULDER: You'd better wait for the Holy Spirit.

Study Notes - Wednesday Night Bible Study, January 23rd, 2008

From the middle of Exodus chapter 3 to chapter 4, Moses makes excuses.
"An excuse is a bold-faced lie, wrapped in the onion-skin of reason."

Self Image:
* God always speaks to your potential.
* What you believe about yourself determines where you will be.
* The will of God is not automatic.
* How you see yourself will determine what God can do with you.

In Judges, Gideon hadn't stepped into his identity.

Prejection: Put off on others what is in you.

People who are afraid are not an asset - they are a liability.

* Pay attention to where you are - "Do you know where you are? Favor!"
* Don't reason away what God is doing. ie God works a miracle - man tries to explain it away.
* Remain God Conscious.
* Greatness is not an accident.

Are there opportunities of faith that you may have missed because of what you thought about yourself?

noreply@blogger.com (A Heart To Witness) — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 14:13:00 +0000

Study Notes: Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

1. Pay attention to where you are
2. Be God Conscious - be careful not to reason away what God is doing
3. Let go of every excuse
4. Use these principles every day
5. Greatness is not an accident

I am: Flaky, Procrastinating, Logical, Manipulative, Funny, Wierd, Smart

Coult it be that Moses' excuses came from his:
1. Self-image?
What you believe about yourself has more influence than: God, the devil, and others.
2. Past experience?
Learn from past experiences, but don't live in them!
3. Lack of desire?
Preaching & Teaching won't help you if you don't do something with it.

When you believe in yourself, the devil can't stop you.

Yes, that's right, you read it correctly. If you know me, you already are aware that I'm a big fan of freeware and homebrew stuff, so this shouldn't come as any real big surprise. But since we here at AHTW are all about releasing folks from the bondage of sin, how about another great reason not to pirate game cartridges? There are HUNDREDS of utilities and games out there for your handheld game machine for -FREE-. Folks just love to write these programs, well, just because!

Realization Ministries - Reverend Raymond Rippenkroeger

As some of you may know, on October 8th, 2005, Julie & I were married on the beach at Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, Oregon. You may also know that the man who officiated the service was my friend and co-worker, Rev. Ray Rippenkroeger. Since then, Ray moved to Texas, and began taking on a role that Paul, a bondservant of our Lord Jesus Christ, took -- starting ministries. As you can see by his words in the article below, he is passionate about introducing people to Jesus. He has given me permission to reprint his writings here, but I urge you to visit his web site:

"Have you ever noticed that the World is Watching You?"

By Rev. Raymond Rippenkroeger
Posted October 11, 07

References:

1 John 4: 4, "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." (NIV)

1 Timothy 1: 7; 1 John 1: 5 to 2: 6; John 3: 16.

I am truly amazed how so many Christians have been wondering why the "unsaved" people of the world do not want to listen to what is said about needing Jesus Christ.; that they do not want to come to Church or received Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

People view "only on Sunday" Christians as hypocrites, bigots, judgmental, opinionated, holier-than-thou, fanatics or "religious" people. The type that say one thing, but do another; those that only behave "holy" or Christian on Sunday, while the rest of the week they are like "non-believers" in daily activities or conversations.

Bickering, denominational churches divided in doctrine, that can't get along, and clashing church members that don't speak or fellowship with those of other denominations. Even worse is when Christians are seen treating one another within the church as the World treats each other; judgmental, bigoted, slanderous, gossiping, lying, blatantly opinionated that don't care what others think or feel. Lowest of all, however, are those that believe they are better than those around them, that have a higher position in the ministry than someone else that exaggerates their own importance.

How can we expect the world that watches us to want to be with us, let alone come to the saving grace of Christ? This may seem negative, or harsh, but people should be rushing to church and to Christians for knowledge of God's gifts. Instead, they watch as Christians stumble and fall, putting people off from Christianity and Christ. Before I came to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior in November 1980, the divisive, outward appearance is why I initially stayed away. We need to refocus our attention from why people aren't coming, to what keeps people from wanting to come.

The divisive, hypocritical words and actions have to stop. Pastors, Ministers, and Evangelists who try to push their own agenda, or amass a huge church or following can begin to spiral around money, money, money, money. They don't study the fullness of the Word of God to know what it says about the key subjects (Scriptures) that tend to cause division amongst the churches or church members. There is an unbelievable arrogance of "These are the only things I will allow or accept in my church;" or when discussion of Scripture is stifled because it could require change, even radical change, to the way things have always been. Change is feared, and new ideas are often over looked in favor of the tried-and-true. Remember, Spiritual Leader, it is God's church. The Holy Spirit does the leading, and prayer (communion) should be of the utmost importance. "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4: 4), that "God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and of a sound mind" (1 Tim. 1: 7).

Church members must show love and humility ALL of the time, to ALL of the members, regardless of whether they are young, old, new members, seasoned members, and even those of different thought. Christians need to be a Christ-ian at home, work, the store, or the mall throughout the week--Monday through Sunday! Sunday is not a "Show Out day" or just a day of atonement to feel better about what you did in the past week, or even Sunday morning before you arrived at church.

I am so thankful for those that call themselves Believers or that are "religious," because if it were not for them we would be really behind on "saved souls." I truly want ALL of those claiming to be saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Spirit to follow the Lord God Almighty's commandments and let the world see Jesus talking, walking, working, and loving every one, everywhere, at all times through them! 1 John 1: 5 to 2: 6 tell us, "If we claim" to be Christian, then according to Chapters 2 and 3 we are commanded by God in how we should live before Man and God.

If someone thinks that the course of their life is not how the Scriptures describe how it should be, then it may be a good time for them to reflect on how they act before God and in the presence of all other people--men, women, and children alike. Furthermore, it's important to remember that God often reminded people they would Reap what they Sowed; acting against the will of God could bring about serious, undesired consequences.

I am guilty of some of these things myself and so this message is for me as well. God as put it on my heart for many years, and I have spoken to many people about this one-on-one in part or in whole. The Spirit has been moving upon my own and I had to write this. You can try to slip past the leading of the Spirit, but God will always win out.

I have been given the spiritual gift of love; even toward those people I would not have been able to years ago. I must obey God's calling to share this gift and to express, utilize, or use it. I know how wonderful, holy, magnificent, mighty, majestic, and almighty our heavenly Father is. I reverence Him with all my spirit; with humility I bow down before even His name. I am unworthy of anything He blesses me with and I am ashamed how I do not do all I am commanded to do, even the little things. But, the Lord God our Savior and our Redeemer loves me; He loves you enough to be so merciful that He gave us His only begotten Son to show us the Way and to be crucified on the Cross (praise you Lord Jesus!) so that the price of all my sins would be paid for. Hallelujah!

I pray that you will, this day, turn your eyes, heart, and spirit up unto the Lord our God and repent of your unacceptable ways, so that the "unsaved" will desire, and see, the wonderful gift of God and come running to receive it. The Lord Jesus (praise Him) will reward you and allow the harvest to be good and plentiful from now on.

I love you who may be reading this and to those whom may it be shared with. I hope that these words will help you grow in Christ and let the world see Christ-ians (littles Christs). It is always my desire to help you, help the world, to God's blessings and that the Lord is pleased with what He sees.

If you have any questions, comments, or prayers, and praise reports just let me known through this website.

John 3: 16 says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, and whosoever believes in Him, shall not die, but have everlasting life." Amen. Make the decision today and do not let another day pass by without your eternal salvation.
