The Lord is not willing that any should
perish, but that all should come to repentance. II Peter 3:9 In spite of the bone-chilling cold outside, God was busy warming the hearts this morning inside the prison's chapel... And there shall be signs in the sun,
and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. Luke 21:25 I am quite certain that the multitudes of people throughout the world know within the deepest part of their being that something is very wrong in the world. Yet they're perhaps too afraid to face the truth that this could be so... He will turn again, He will have compassion
upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. Micah 7:19 The forgiveness of sin and how to cope with all the guilt, shame and regret which so often occurs because of one's sinful past is a recurring theme in many letters that I get from fellow Christians... With the chaplain having retired some of the members of my congregation as well as several close friends on the outside, have been trying to vigorously persuade me to take on more of a pulpit/pastoral role...
Thus far we still do not have a Protestant Chaplain. Our previous chaplain and pastor retired right before Christmas of last year. But I believe the Lord revealed to me that He himself is really the Chaplain of the church here at Sullivan Correctional Facility...
Call unto Me, and I will answer thee,
and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3 This weekend I plan to limit my activities and stay in my cell as much as possible so as to remain still and silent before the presence of the Lord... And I will restore to you the years
that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar...And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God... Joel 2:25-26 I cannot begin to describe how wonderful it is whenever I see God working miracles among these men... But continue thou in the things which thou hast
learned and has been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. II Timothy 3:14 Yesterday I felt like a proud father... Whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report... think on these things. Philippians 4:8 No matter what others may think, the prison experience often produces many strong Christians... |
