Salvation
Did not realize I had been away so long from a journal entry. I have been involved in a lot of study of the bible and ministry to the handicap. I will be attending a Stewardship Dessert Sunday the 25th and will be receiving the Right Hand of Fellowship which is the final step in my membership process to Shadow Mountain Community Church. I am looking forward to this as it marks a goal I had set and achieved for myself only by the grace of my Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.I have given the gift of music back to God and struggle with the troubles of each day. Christ told us in life there will be trouble no matter who you are but that if we stay focused on him he will give you peace. So I study sometimes day and night for it is written; Joshua 1:8 - Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.1 Peter 2:2-3 - Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.1 Corinthians 10:13 - No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.Matthew 6:33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Heavenly Father may all my friends here at Daily Strength receive your grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Oh Wow Matt, congratulation on getting the precious membership to Shadow Mountain Community Church.
You play your guitar and sing in the Church Matt?
The sound must be glorious.
Congrats on all you do towards getting closer to the good Lord.
He has helped me soo much lately, don\'t know what I would have done, without the good Lord.
I pray all the time, I can be walking to the kitchen and start to pray, there is no time set for prayers and they are free so I pray all the time.
One day people around the world will all pray together, and the world will be a much better place.
I do believe one day we will live in Harmony.
Love * Respect to you Matthieu

One day at the time.
Way to go, dude! angels are dancing for you!
btw, did you know that OT kings had to copy God\'s Law by hand during the first year of their reign? Can\'t remember now where/how I \"learned\" that, but what a difference it would make for all of US if WE were to be required to copy by hand God\'s Word! Over the summer between my jr/sr yrs at Blue Mountain College, we had to translate 1John from Greek to English, without using modern translation for comparison. All that word study made me really appreciate the bible in a new way----and all that time in that one little book really impressed on my heart how great God\'s love for us is (especially chapter 4!).
thank you for sharing your faith in a straightforward, non-churchy way.... you\'ve got great credibility, so you also have the potential for challenging and changing lots of lives here at DS. Keep on faithing, my brother; and keep on singing, too---your music is God\'s gift to all of us.
May HIS best be YOURS today. Keith
