I'm Amazed...


I am amazed at how God's Word works. It truly is a supernatural book. No other book I know does what it does. It's the living Word of God. . . given to us. That ought to humble us and make us want to read it every once in awhile. The one thing about the Bible (1611 KJV, to be exact) that continues to keep me in awe is how one passage of scripture can yeild different things to different people in different situations at different times. One verse may minister to me in one way and the person next to me in the pew on Sunday who is in a totally different situation. I heard a preacher the other day make the comment that you could preach the Word forever and never preach everything contained in the book. I was made accutely aware of this the other day when I heard two great messages by (yep, you guessed it) Handley Milby...both using the same text, but geared in two different directions. What they did have in common was both messages were smothered with the Holy Spirit. The text is from the Story of Noah in Genesis. The first is directed to the blood-washed born again children of God urging us to look to Noah as inspiration for right living (and before you think it's one of those flowery messages, Brother Milby hammers down on sin...alot and I say, More power to him!) and the second was geared toward the lost...those who fail to make it right with the Lord before they leave out of this world, who will one day find themselves outside the ark begging to get inside. So, enjoy both of these...I certainly did.

Family Matters...


Alright, I have figured out how to embed my own library of messages, so look forward to some more great preaching. While you wait, take a listen to Brother Milby. If I believed in following a man, I'd start a Brother Milby fan club :) But since I realize it's all God, I'll give HIM the credit, as I'm sure Brother Milby wouldn't mind.
I have heard some good preaching on the home in the last several years. The home is near and dear to my heart because as a momma of three small children and a homemaker, the home is my business. And the saying certainly rings true that your church is only as spiritual as your home. There's a reason the devil attacks the home and the Christian family so hard...he knows if he can get your home, he'll not have to worry much about how effective a church is going to be. Every now and then, we need good preaching on the home...sort of preventive maintenance. Brother Milby delivers in this message. Be prepared to get your toes stepped on, but don't get mad...get things right if the Spirit convicts you. The shame is not in messing up in our Christian lives (God knows we're going to do that), the shame is knowing we messed up and are still messing up and too stubborn to come to Jesus, our advocate and get things fixed up. Enjoy!
