The Stream!

The Stream There is a crooked stream, running quiet and still, just half a mile, over that hill. One day last fall, there was a big rain, that old stream was raging, a rage no man could tame. It roared and rushed, took houses and land, where ever it went, it obeyed no command. Sometimes our life, is like that stream, all peaceful and calm, then comes trials, that explode like a bomb. We have a place, where we can go, to our Heavenly Father, who by His loving hand, soothes and calms, that raging stream, with one command, it obeys His will, as He speaks, Peace be still. –Winston Staples– Share this: face book, twitter

A Writing!

O, what a beautiful day, beautiful September morn, the sun shines bright, and the dew, still lies heavy on the corn. The robins peep, everywhere, taking care of their young, another day so precious, and still so many blessings, blessings to come. The crows fly high, the eagle soars, the neighbors, saw up winter wood; O, how I love the saw sound, from next door. The hymns I enjoy, on the computer play, they are soothing, and blessing me today. The words I hear, refresh my thinking, and remind me, God is very near, very near, He never departs, His spirit dwells, dwells in my heart! written by Winston Staples

Someone is Calling!

When I was a young lad, I would go fishing in the brook close to home. After I was gone a short while,  it seemed like, my mother would call out loud seeking my health and welfare status and I will never forget her calling me to supper. Like my mother’s call, God also calls us to come to Him; in the next few writings we are going to see what His word tells about His calling nations and people unto Himself. Isaiah 55: 5  Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of theLord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.  Romans 1:Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:  God sends His call by CHRIST! Revelation 22: 17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.   God gives the call to come by His HOLY SPIRIT! Psalms 19: 2 ...

Someone’s Calling   Hi! Today opens the moose season here and there is a lot of hunters looking for a moose, so there is a lot of calling for a moose to answer. The last blog,  we  looked what the Bible said about the call of God, today we will continue. Isaiah 45: 22  Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. God’s call is for all mankind to be saved but sad to say this does not happen because all men do not listen to the  call of God.  Matt.20: 16  So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Proverbs 1: 24  Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25  But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: God’s call to man is of: GRACE — Galatians 1:15   But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,  2 Tim.1: 9  Who h...

Vessels!

 I thank God for giving eyes to see and ears to hear and all the other senses we have to enjoy His creation. God uses all His creation to mold and shape us like the potter and the clay. He molds and shapes us into vessels of service. I wrote a poem about little vessels a few years ago that I want to share with you now. We are little vessels, created by God’s hand, put here a little while, to walk in this land. We are little vessels, broken and marred by sin, God knows our every weakness, He wants to mold us from within. We are little vessels, who need saved from sin, by submitting to God our potter, salvation will begin. We are little vessels, saved from sin and shame, Jesus gives us victory, because He lives again. We are little vessels, being molded by His Spirit, because of His love and grace, and not by our merit. We are little vessels, being shaped as He would have us be, perfect in His sight, when the face of Jesus we see. ~Winston Staples

Just Thinking!

JUST THINKING! I am sitting in my study, watching the snow flutter, flutter down, as it hits, the frozen January ground; so softly, softly, not making a sound. God’s presence is all around, His mercy and grace, Oh, how abundant they abound. God’s love surrounds the universe, as He holds and controls, everything in the palm of His hand. He watches His Creation, He loves everything, even sinful man. Because of this love; He offers His amazing grace, to redeem mankind; He sent His Son Jesus, to die on a rugged cross, and through faith in Him His Spirit comes in to abide. So call upon Jesus and find spiritual victory, and not a soul lost. ~ Winston Staples

Judge Not!

Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! judge not all the things they do. Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! Would you want them judging you? Dear brother and sister, do nothing to make them stumble or fall, remember God sent Jesus, to live, to love, to die and live again for all. Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! Just edify them with love, the same love God gives me and you. Judge not your brother, judge not your sister too! Because they believe in Christ, they will be in Heaven too!  ~ Winston Staples
