Title: For Ricky
Post by: CrimsonCrusader on March 19, 2011, 08:36:29 PM
Little story for you. This is the first weekend in two months that I havent had to work. Lot of overtime and I havent made it to church in in this same time frame. For the better part of today I have been outside putting together a wood swing set for my two little boys and came in to eat dinner. After the blessing my wife told me that the 7 year old told her that I must not worship God anymore because I havent been to church in a long time. It was funny and heart breaking at the same time if you know what I mean. After dinner I brought him to the computer and let him see the daily devotionals from you. I explained that even though I might not make it to church I read these devotionals on a daily basis or I try to catch something on the radio because I am on the road a lot. He hung his head and said he didnt know. I told him that was ok because I never told him that is what I do. So thanks to you and the radio my little boy doesnt have to worry about his dad anymore. Thank you and God Bless

Crimson - that was a wonderful story. It actually brought tears to my eyes. That lesson can be to all of us. People sometimes will look at Church attendance as "proof" of someone being a Christian. For your children to know so young that you can love God anytime and anywhere - it doesn't have to be in a Church building.

I know you addressed this to Bro Ricky, but I just wanted to let you know how it touched me.

great story CC ... awesome !

I have one if you don't mind ?

my Pastor and myself read Ricky's post Friday for about an hour and talked for two .
my Pastor was impressed .

he only threatened me once because of dumb statement I made about I was going to hell .
I was using the going to hell to emphasize  what I thought about something and I shouldn't think that way
he told me to never say that again , and I won't .

before it was over there were some tears shed specially after listing to the lady talk about her
husband that got  killed (the Chaplin) in Afghanistan .
I hope one day that my faith will be as strong as her's ... and my Pastors .
I am working on it . everyday .


anyway ... Thanks Ricky for your help in my quest .

XBAMA you touched my heart today to say one thing to you, once you give your life away you can't get it back. I know why your Pastor spoke like he did. Let me, if I can explain it clear as I can, when you accpet Chirst as your Lord and Savior and you say Lord I surrender all then you are his. Now the works you do before Christ enters your life means nothing other than a Chapter to show you want the Lord. The works you do after being saved are meanigful. These good works stack up as rewards that you can give at Christs' feet when you meet him in his Kingdom after death of the physical body, I say that because once you die physically you never ever really die if you are SAVED. Last breath here is the First breath there. This is in Lamen terms and from a pure country-man Preacher. If I can ever be of help please let me know or anyone else for that matter. I don't know all the answers but I know the person who does. God Bless & Love you all!
