Bible Informational...

-
The following thoughts are shared from 
Sunday service at Temple Baptist Church, 
presented by Pastor Fred Gurule...
First of all, how can we be blessed by the bible?
Let me ask you a question,....
Do you or someone you know own a bible?
Do you ever open it and read the word?
Do you get the "information for transformation?"

"The purpose of the information is transformation." -Pastor Gurule

"I want the bible to be more than head knowledge, I want it to change me." -Pastor Gurule

Bibles are everywhere in America last year there were 500 million bibles published in the world and thats in 18,000 different languages, meaning the bible is available for us to read it,....
If or when you search scripture, is it daily, weekly, monthly or yearly?
Do you discern and gaze or do you glance? 
After Jesus resurrected two disciples ran to the tomb, John looked in and he didn't go in, Peter got there and he not only looked in, but he went in,... that's the difference between gazing and glancing the bible.... 
(meaning do you take your time to take in the information 
or do you graze through mindlessly strolling without intentional thought)

When you read the bible do you have the mindset of:
not accidental but intentional???

Do you research the bible or do you just read the bible?

To be blessed by the bible one must:
Read - interpret and search scripture daily, does it take priority in your life?
Receive - understand while being: 
-careful/swift with undivided attention
-calm/slow to wrath putting aside anger, bitterness, worries, etc.
-clean or free of dirt, scum, rubbish, moral sin, filth, earwax, etc.
(to get good reception from God)
Respond - apply scripture to daily decision making and daily life,...

"Sometimes wonder if we have churches with auditors." -Pastor Gurule

and 

Review or remember it in your heart!

Statistic: We may lose 95%of what we hear within 72 hours...

The bible will transform you life!!

"Yes we may go through the bible, but make sure the bible goes through you." -Pastor Gurule

A New Start

Today is the first day of Spring!!! I want to keep positivity in mind in everything I do and use this page to record my thoughts as I am a stay at home mom and sometimes baby J just isn't that interested in what his mommy has to say lol and sometimes lets face it, it's just not appropriate to lay all my thoughts on the lil guy :D So here we are in my newly acquired blog that I dedicate to happiness, hope and loving God with all my might!! Sometimes I'm at my peak and things are the greatest,.. those are the times I love to share. But other times     when I'm gloomy and feeling hopeless I tend to push others away and retreat into my thoughts . I know this can be very unhealthy for me, mainly cause I have been diagnosed with PTSD in the past and I know that the mind can be a powerful ally or opponent. I love my family, my husband of whom is very dear to my heart and my children Alysha, Andreas, Aiden, Josiah and baby belly of whom is yet to come in June. Right now we ar

My Mind is a Disarray

A blank screen another thought. Headspace is a reflection of my imperfection, Can’t seem to get it straight. I want to scream and shout my anger, sometimes I wish my sun would set. Instead I sit and wonder why as a tear rolls down my eye... Can’t ever let them see me cry. Can’t seem to maintain, everything done in vain it seems, I try to explain but I’m nothing but a walking mistake. When will I break? Life isn’t a such piece of cake, how much will it take, everything’s at stake. Trying to get some peace of mind,... Positivity and encouragement, are my crime Negativity only brings me down feels like I’m drowning Trying not to wear this frown, remembering along the way  to śtraighten my crown.. I know I say can't alot, but in retrospect I can And I will overcome 🖤

To Make Each Moment Count

What I have learned of change is that it is constant,...  In fact the only thing constant is change and the only one constant is God !!! Change has been a constant reminder in our lives that there is both good and bad in all aspects, decisions, peoples, cultures, morals, and our eternal destinations... Put simply the biggest decision of ones life is in regards to their eternal destination, Heaven or Hell ? The answer seems obvious but many I'm afraid are unaware that there is even a question or a choice... this reality breaks my heart. I wonder about the people that know they only have so many days to live and the deep need to either live life to it's fullest within that timeframe or just sulk on the fact that their end is near and take on the attitude that nothing matters. I often wonder how I will be remembered when I am only but a fading memory to the remaining. After my older sister being horrifically murdered I've come to accept the inevitable, in fact I even wel
