The Saddlebag Preacher: Spring Again

Spring Again

Days are longer. Flowers are blooming. Birds are nesting. Aww…SPRING!
Hayfever, sneezing, pollen, and bees.
Yep, I just had to blow that serene picture out of the water didn’t I? Actually I just wanted to remind us that while God gives us wonderful blessings like spring, and we need to gratefully thank Him, we also live in a fallen world and the thorns in life are still out there.
God gives us daily glimpses of paradise. The devil will try to steal the joy away with opposite reactions. Have you ever noticed the devil always tries to create a false copy of God’s work, or ruin what he can’t copy?
Remember, God is the Creator of all things. Satan is the deceiver, liar and thief and will try to steal your joy. So bless God for his gift of spring, grab a Kleenex and refuse to let that old devil ruin what God has given you.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.."

THE SADDLEBAG PREACHER

Welcome all!

Old fashioned straight from the bible preaching for the coming times!

Long before political correctness and positive thinking theology, there were a group of people dedicated to spreading the truth of God's Word. Telling all who would listen that Heaven was BEAUTIFUL and Hell was HOT, and a choice had to be made. Have you made the right choice?

Welcome to another little way of spreading a message from God's Word. I believe we are closer today to the return of Christ than we were yesterday, and the signs are increasing to those who believe. I am not an alarmist, but I feel compelled that there is much work to be done and the days are drawing short. No one knows the time, but the workers are few and the harvest are many. May God bless you and may you experience the saving grace of Jesus Christ!

There will be fresh articles as well as copies of articles I do for our church Newsletter. I hope you enjoy the addition of old fashioned sermons for today's concerns.

I trust in the Lord to send those to this page who may need a word of encouragement, or a biblical thought. I invite you to leave comments after any posting you read. Thank you!

How Do I Find Salvation?

1. Realize you are a sinner and that you cannot save yourself.
(Rom 3:23 KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
(Rom 10:13 KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

2. Recognize Jesus as the Savior.
(Rom 5:6-9 KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

3. Repent and receive Christ (Romans 10:9-13).
(Rom 10:9 -13 KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

It's that simple. It costs YOU nothing, JESUS paid the price!

Follow these simple steps, Jesus is standing with open arms!

God Bless You.
