On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

commandments for believers

I learned so much this morning listening to Dr. J Vernon McGee's sermon from decades ago. Here are some notes:


Walking in the Spirit

(Dr. J Vernon McGee listened on June 3, 2012)

1.    The first step: Realize our human weakness and sin.

2.    The second step: When you realize you want to be free from the sin nature that is pulling you down. You want to be delivered from it. There must be a realization of our human weakness and sin nature. The recognition that God’s standard for Christian living is not obtainable by human effort.

3.    Rest upon the Holy Spirit. Walk by the Spirit and you will not fall prey to the lusts of the world. One step at a time. Stay in His Word (His Word is Jesus and the Bible) Stay in prayer. Keep your thoughts on the higher things. Walk by faith and not by sight.



In an earlier sermon Dr. McGee mentioned how often we eat in a day. We take in the dead food many times each day. We need to do the same with the bread of life. Take it in many many times each day – feed our souls more than we feed this dead body.

Peter walked on the water until he saw what he was doing. He did it by faith – his eyes higher. J

Christians have new commandments:

Love one another as I have loved you.

  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
