Listening and doing to the ways of the world, or listening and doing GOD’S way.

Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

King James Version (KJV)

Hello friends.

In these days and times, we need to ways focus on our beloved FATHER GOD and HIS SON JESUS .

Even though we may slip in our efforts to do right. Let it be known this why JESUS is our savior. We can’t get through this life without JESUS . HE is the only way to heaven.

There are so many devices sent to distract us from GOD that we would be foolish to assume we can handle all situations on our own strengths

But no.

We are but flesh and blood and do not have the wisdom and strength to go about living in this world as though we are as mighty as our beloved Holy Creator GOD !

When things are not going as how you as a human wants it to go then you know it is not going by GOD’S plan. It is not right for you.

When everything is just falling into place with no effort, then it is GOD’S PLAN. Because it has fallen perfectly into place…because GOD’S WAY IS PERFECT. And right for you.

When we step out of the way, and let GOD BE GOD, then we will see the blessing unfold.

I tell you every person that ever walked the face of the earth was tempted by the evil one. Just because he hates mankind so much.

You could be on your way to special meeting and need to be there on time and was late. Even though you were ready to leave extra early. A chain of events happened to make you late.

You may have promised your child to take them to an event they had their heart on going to, and you either got sick or had no money or way to get there.

This is when you take a deep breath. And get into some deep prayer and talk to the LORD. HE will hear you and know what is heavy on your heart.

Proverbs 2:1-5 – My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;   

John 8:47 – He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

John 10:27-28 – My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:   

Mark 4:24 – And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

Psalms 25:4-5 – Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.   

Psalms 37:4-5 – Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.   

Revelation 3:20 – Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

Romans 10:17 – So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Hebrews 4:7 – Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

Listen to GOD talking to you. Read HIS word.



Philippians 4:6 – Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God.

Job 33:14-15 – For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.   

Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.   

John 10:2-4 – But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.   

Psalms 37:7-9 – Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked device’s to pass.   

Psalms 119:105 – NUN. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

James 1:22 – But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Deuteronomy 28:1-2 – And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  

Father God, please give me strength.

Pray for peace, guidance, strength, and wisdom to help you in any and all situations that get too much to deal with.

There is only one FATHER GOD AND HIS SON JESUS that we can trust to go to when we are hurting. Like a child going to their earthly Dad for comfort. We go to our Creator the one and only true living all knowing powerful GOD 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤❤.

Peace and blessings !

Praise and glory be to GOD! Thank GOD for JESUS!!!

This man has a praise so strong others can feel it too !

Hello all!

Thank you for stopping by to share a praise with me for our beloved FATHER GOD! We serve an awesome and perfect loving FATHER GOD!

Let us thank GOD for JESUS, our savior from the ways of this world . For satan is busy trying to steal all souls from GOD!

With your faith and trust in the one snd only true living GOD at all times you will be safe and secure. Others will wonder how you are left still standing through all types of turmoil. For those lost souls do not see our beloved FATHER GOD holding you up and protecting you at all times.

Faith is the bond and connection to our GOD. It is made by trusting in our FATHER GOD and his son JESUS 🙏🏾 . And with our beloved JESUS saving our souls through the sacrifice HE gave on the cross ✝️, it is our ticket to heaven once we accept JESUS as our savior. 🙏🏾

JESUS is the only way and truth to heaven. No short cuts and avoiding JESUS. Without JESUS we all would perish because of sin.

Praise and glory be to GOD! For GOD loves mankind so that HE gave HIS son JESUS ❤️ that we may live and not die. But to have eternal life.

To spend all eternity in heaven where you are loved 😍 by an all powerful , always present, all knowing, perfect GOD is so awesome! To know you will never cry, hurt, or be in pain ever again. To know you are safe from all forms of evil.

Revelation 21:4

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

King James Version (KJV)

No more people who have hurt you, or persecuted you, abused you, or lied to you or about you either. No more suffering. The truth and all good things will be made clear to us. And we will experience pure peace and perfect love for all eternity!❤️

1 Peter 5:7

“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

King James Version (KJV)

Let us keep a positive and peaceful spirit as we live in this fallen world knowing that GOD has made a way for our souls to have eternal peace . And that is with our beloved JESUS by accepting JESUS as our savior.

If you have not done yet, now is a good time to do so. Just call on JESUS HE will answer you, and lead you to the truth and the light!

Hello all, I do hope you all are well and virus free or getting over it and are on the mends.

Having the peace of mind and comfort knowing God Almighty loves you is so coming and peaceful. As you go through these times in this world I feel the need to remember and remind others of this blessing.

We will always meet more people who are not faithful than who are. And we will always need to be ready to spread the good news of the word. For there our Father lovingly will give instruction on life and how much HE loves us.

HE also tells us of the blunders we fall into when we want to do things our way and not HIS way in the Bible. We all have the freedom of choice on how we choose to live. HE showing us what people went through in the Bible from choosing the ways of man and not GOD’s. All in the old and new testament, so we will learn by example.

Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible are good examples. One who choose to follow GOD and one who thought he was god. Daniel was blessed for listening to GOD which kept his life simple and humble before GOD. Nebuchadnezzar thought he was a god and made people worship him or die.

Daniel chapter 5 verse 30-33 kjv

30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

31 While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

I have seen many in great power fall like this. Not knowing GOD, or that the things they do has consequences that are from the choices that was done to themselves or others. King Nebuchadnezzar is an example of this. He mocked GOD in his way and was brought to his knees for 7 years eating grass on all fours as an animal would have.

So all this is tosay, our GOD watches over us all. And those who do harm to those who love GOD will be brought down to their knees too as well in todays time.

No one can out do our GOD. Not even the devil for he was kicked out of heaven for all of the trouble he caused even before GOD created the earth. So what ever your situation is at this point, know that our GOD is greater and will heal.

Those who are the most stubborn and prideful wil be humbled.

Stay safe and sound. Stay healthy. Feel free to pass this blog forward to share with those who need to be encouraged too. Thank you very much for stopping by! 🙂

Peace!!!! 😀

Missing the fellowship due to COVI-19.

Hello everyone! I do hope you will have a blessed Easter in spite of the covi-19 pandemic right now. It can not stop us from praying, and for some it may make us pray even more!

Mt.Sinai Church of GOD in Binghamton New York. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1008875159143705

We are home from going to Church today and I tell you I do miss the fellowship and hearing the word from the Pastor of which ever Church my husband decides we go to on Sundays. We attend the local Churches and those that are not too GOD willing once we are able to travel again to them!

It is not the feeling of being shut in, it is the feeling of being safe and sound from whatever is going on with the virus that has affected the whole entire planet.

Some people are being led closer to GOD because of the issues of the day for right now. Some of the people I know will need to collect unemployment for right now until the situation is done with the virus and the companies can rehire people back to pay their bills.

First Christian Church of kirkwood. They will be moving from this location to the Little white Church in kirkwood shortly this month. 4-5-2020.
https://www.facebook.com/First-Christian-Church-of-Kirkwood-593970207412624

You can not know too many people who love the LORD. This is one of the reasons as to why we go to more than one church. We love to travel when we are able to. (right now due to the covi-19 pandemic we stay local.) Each pastor has his own way on delivering the message from GOD. Each Pastor has his own personality that will touch whomever needs to be touched by GOD’s words to lead them to HIM.

Stay in prayer and know that GOD is watching over us all and keeping us safe and not locked up! Thank you for coming by to read my blog, feel free to pass it forward and share the blessing of GOD’s word. 🙂

Peace!!!!!

The CORONAVIRUS disease 2019 until now.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Hello and good day to you all, I do pray that you all are well and good in these times.

We as humans of planet earth are going through a season of faith that we have not met up with in this type of confusion as I have never seen before in my life time.

For what is happening is world wide. Just like how JESUS will return and get our attention….world wide. It is this coronavirus!

As the news reports what is going on in this recession of 2020, many people have died from this coronavirus. Creating confusing and many people going through the “social distancing” as we are told by health officials to to. Being clean by washing your hands, covering your mouth when sneezing or coughing.

Wiping things down, at your desk, door knobs, no hand shaking and standing at a arms length from people.

But I tell you we need to watch and pray at all times so we can hear the warnings that our FATHER GOD is giving us all. And in this time in prayer we all need to draw and pull ourselves even closer to our FATHER GOD!

I do feel that this is just one of the warnings that GOD is giving us all as we humans persist on doing things our way and not HIS. GOD is very patient with us all. HE could have made this coronavirus something that could have wiped us all out in one week or sooner.

But we are still stubborn and not willing to listen to a PATIENT and loving GOD. Those who do not read the word of GOD are lost and most likely are the ones who cause problems for everyone else.

Those people who have become infected who do what they want with no conviction about them do not care if the way they are living right now will help to spread this virus.

The casinos, bars, movies and restaurants to name a few businesses in my state have been closing . Some have been cutting back hours at many businesses and many people have been laid off.

Even churches have closed for about 2 weeks, or only allow 10 people at a time to be in there until further notice.

But I will tell you ur GOD has given me perfect peace and HE can give it to you as well in these times.

Trusting in GOD will give you what you need to get through this warning /plague that is upon the earth. Many do not see this coronavirus as a warning but it is.

I am giving you all some scripture to read that is comforting from the word of GOD. GOD is our strong hold in these times for HIS warnings are to have us all ready to be able to get into heaven to be away from all of the trouble makers here on earth.

The trouble makers are many. They will not be in heaven with us to cause any more trouble. We will have peace away from thim.

So we must all repent and obey GOD. And where our GOD is there is peace , joy, love and to be able to look into HIS beautiful eyes and give GOD the praise and glory for loving us so. GOD sent HIS son JESUS to save us all from our sins, and to live with them both for ever.

Let GOD and JESUS be your comfort zone at all times. Read the Bible and clear your mind of the garbage that is out there that is distracting you from HIM.

Psalms
Chapter 91

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Listen and watch the news, but don’t dwell on it in such a way that you are distracted from the word of our GOD and what he is trying to tell you. GOD comes first always.

Stay in prayer and thank you all for reading this blog and the word of GOD! Please do feel free to pass it forward to encourage others too.

Peace!

Following the right standard- GOD's!

Equally beautiful dolls I bought at Ebay recently.

Hello everyone, I do pray that you all are having a blessed day! Boy am I happy to see the weather warming up some too. For it always has the pretty flowers ready to bloom for us all.

And with this warmer weather coming , it has been said in the news that the coronavirus should soon die off as according to the rews station NPR.

I have a small business that I am working on again as to making things by hand, and collecting old dolls. I also will see the clothing of the dolls as my other job, not a hobby. Hobbies do not put food on the table. 🙂

My crocheted design I made for an 18 inch tall Pocahontas doll by Mattel. The doll I got off of Ebay.

What I have learned from the craft shows I attend in this area where I live, the dolls that are considered beautiful are the blond blue eyed ones by the white people who are even brown haired and browned eyed too! I always wondered about this.

The picture of the first two dolls together, one was considered a “princess” by calling her as such and even beautiful. But look more closely at those two. There is no difference in beauty or “princess”. They are both made from the same mold!

This seemed so silly to me. I had to post this confusion to this blog because there is a generation of older people who go about their lives spreading this kind of bigotry based on how they were raised up. This is not how GOD said to be, it is sin.

The word of GOD is very plain and clear as to the commandments.

Matthew 22:36-40 King James Version (KJV)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

As followers of JESUS we need to think about this topic. It does not set well with GOD. It is hate, and if you think tha hate is okay in this form you are incorrect, no hate is good. And if we see people who are white abusing and hating people of color, and you are white and say nothing you are just as wrong as the person doing the evil when you could have done something to stop it. This includes people of color who see anyone of color abuse white people too.

We all will be judged before GOD in the end, all of us. Not one soul spared. Do unto others as you would have them do to YOU! Hell will have all colors of people as well as heaven.

Romans 2:11 Context

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is no respect of persons with God. 12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:

When we all die , our bodies return to the earth. We leave with what we came with. Nothing.

With what I have seen with the racial non-sense in this world, this sin will last until the return of JESUS if those who keep it going wont stop.

For those of us that had to confront this kind of evil, let it be known GOD sees this and will deal with those who do evil. They will never get away with what they do.

Stay blessed , safe, and sound. For once you gave your heart mind and soul to GOD and HIS son JESUS you will always be comforted. Feel free to pass this blog forward to those who need to read the word of GOD.

Peace!

Everyone is someone else’s child.

James 2:8

“If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:”

King James Version (KJV)

Picture from article: https://familydoctor.org/growing-healthy-importance-starting-good-nutrition-early/

Hello everyone! Hope you all are getting ready for the warmer weather. I am ready when our FATheR GOD will send it and have our gardens to grow up beautiful and healthy!

There are so many beautiful faces in this world, or all colors shapes and sizes. Like beautiful roses in a well nourished garden stretching out to reach the sun. Like little children, the roses are reaching out for their Mom or Dads hand growing up straight and tall towards the sun.

You know what? When you see a person or people, always remember they are someone else’s child just like you. Whether they are older or younger than you are. You may wind up in a relationship at some point as a friend, coworker, spouse or just in passing through the day in your life.

They belong to a family of two other children who were their parents, and now you have crossed paths. Hopefully it is a pleasant meeting, and God felt between you two. We must treat each other with respect, we will answer to all things we do to each other by the judge of all judges who sits on the throne in heaven,

Life is but a vapor. Life is that short. Why not make life a excellent experience if even for a few seconds for another person with a good morning or have a blessed day?

Romans 12:10

“Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;”

King James Version (KJV)

I enjoy being nice to people and sharing a smile, good conversation, good food, or a prayer/praise to our wonderful GOD in heaven. Sharing a connection of faith, fellowship, and good clean fun. It just warms the heart of everyone involved!

There are people in this world who may need to see a smiling face and know there are others who share the love of GOD. Even in passing. When ever we can , we need to encourage all who share the body of Christ. For there are many who do not, and they seek to do harm to others who are in the body of our beloved Christ JESUS.

As we go through our lives, we must remember , what we say and do affects everyone including ourselves. For we can be encouraged by what we do for others when we can put a sincere smile on their face for how or what we do for them.

Be it they are newborn to the well aged. Age should not matter to treating a person with loving heart of JESUS.

John 15:12

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.”

King James Version (KJV)

Have a blessed day, please do pass it forward this blog post so others who do need to be encouraged will be blessed too as I do hope this was a blessing for you as well! 🙂

Peace!!!

John chapter 3 and salvation. Getting ready for the final destination!

JJ Maslins Art and Designs Leave a comment

Good morning all. I do pray that you are well in this NEW year that the LORD GOD has given us all. For life is but vapor and we need to get ourselves ready for the 2nd coming of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Getting ready for our final destination is a challenge with all of the bumps in the road we face as we head to repentance, salvation and to hear our LORD JESUS say “well done” Matthew 25:21

Image from site: https://www.amazon.com/Well-Done-Thou-Faithful-Servant/dp/B07JB23GSC

The road of righteousness will have some issues in it, we neat to keep our seat belts on and have our hearts set on getting to heaven. There maybe detour signs up, but we can ignore them and stay on the road. It is a matter of life and death to be right.

For we may be given a hard time by a few and respect of many here on earth, but the end of the road is where we will meet up with our JESUS and be able to see HIM face to face. This is what we all should want, and hate sin as much as GOD does too.

Always remember that GOD loves us so that HE sent HIS son JESUS to be our savior from the sins we have done our whole lives long. And also how much HE hates sin too.

All we need to do is to be sincere in our hearts and repent from sin and seek after GOD and HIS son JESUS. Know and accept JESUS as savior, flee from your old ways. Just stop and sin no more.

No one can say rightfully that they are better than any other human being. For if it were so, then we wouldn’t need our beloved JESUS as savior. There would be a human who would have been a sacrifice instead. But seeing that man was born in sin from the fall from the 1st sin i the garden of eden none of us were and are worthy.

Start now to get your way on to the road to salvation, and fuel up with the gospel and stay on course. Being a child of GOD and have repented from the sins you were in, it will be hard, but be stubborn to seek after GOD.

Have blessed day and new year in the LORD GOD! Stay in prayer and be ready for when JESUS will return at anytime from now! Please do pass it forward this blog and the word in it too. Many do not know about salvation.

Peace!

Anti Semitism is a sin. JESUS was a jew too!

Good morning and good day everyone. I do pray that you all are having a blessed day and that you all are well. This is another day that the LORD GOD has made.

I want to share with you all the rise of anti Semitism. It is another form of hate conceived by evil one to distract us from the LORD. And not only that to divide the peoples of the earth from bonding and having fellowship with each other.

When we do not obey or listen to our loving GOD about the warnings pf the world, meaning the dangers of listening to the devil and his lies …it casue all kinds of confusion and hate.

For our beloved JESUS who walked the face of the earth was a jew.

John 8:31-59 King James Version (KJV)

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Anti Semitism is an example of it.

Being a jew is not a race, it is a faith called Judaism. The people read their Bible called the Tanakh from my understanding. And the people will be in all skin colors like those who are Christians are too!

African jewish women.

When I hear people say mean things about anyone I don’t like it. And to hear people say they do not like Jews are doing just what the evil one wants us to do cause all kinds of confusion and fights and wars.

“Jesus Christ was born in a particular place and at a specific time in history. Although His Father was God (through the agency of the Holy Spirit), His mother was a Jewish woman named Mary. Her husband, Joseph, was Jesus’ legal father or guardian. According to the genealogy from Mary, on His human side Christ is descended from the Israelite tribal patriarch Judah and his descendant King David (Luke 3:31, Luke 3:33; compare Acts 2:30; 2 Timothy 2:8).” from the site https://www.ucg.org/bible-study-tools/booklets/who-is-god/jesus-was-a-jew

Being a Christian because I have accepted JESUS as my savior and I follow our beloved Christ JESUS…..I do understand as to why we are called Christians. Christs believer and followers are called as such.

The jews from my understanding have not accepted our JESUS as the messiah and only a jewish teacher.

Faces of young jewish boys with their locs.

I have seen jews in all colors across the earth in photos. None are all one color. The oldest group of people are the Ethiopians who are to believes as the first jews. And even there they are different shades for brown too.

Ethiopian rabbis in Israel 2012. From site https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-history-of-ethiopian-jewry/
Hasidic jewish woman with her head covered

The white hasidic jew from Brooklyn New York look totally different from the jews in africa with the way how they dress, they way they believe as well too. They do still cover their heads both the men and the women, but they way how they may think to serve maybe a little different,

Hasidic jewish men.

See, to say one hates jews is wrong, for as I have mentioned… JESUS WAS A JEW.

Judaism is the 1st religion mankind practiced waiting foe JESUS to come to earth for the 1st time for our salvation.

Let us remember what season this is right now. It is the Christmas season and JESUS is the reason for the season. This season and all seasons now , when our JESUS returns and for all seasons!!!

Have a blessed day, and please do share this blog with others so they will be blessed as well. Thank you all for taking the time to read my blog post!

Peace!!!!

Bible Tracts to encourage.

JJ Maslins Art and Designs 1 Comment
Getting my ideas together for a tract for Ephesians armor of GOD.

Hello everyone! I do pray that you all will have a blessed day! For this is another day that the LORD has made! YAY!

You know, I maybe an oddball to a lot of people just because I love GOD! But this is my choice to do so….and it makes be happier than anything else in the world as to believe in GOD and follow JESUS!

There are many people who love GOD so, and his beloved son JESUS that we want to share the joy! And some people through the loving word of GOD or in actions of caring. Some of us through illustrations. and Bible tracts. I do both. And what I have always liked was those #Jack Chick bible tracts. I liked the drawings, and the message. I was direct and to the point. As a child riding the subway with my parents there were people handing out these tracts. They are like little comic books….but not really comical. They were meant to lead people to the LORD and be saved.

Yes they were scary, but they are only scary if you do not know the LORD yet. And hated messages if you love the sin you are in, and not the LORD.

https://www.chick.com/information/article?id=how-to-witness&gclid=CjwKCAjwlovtBRBrEiwAG3XJ–cGOp8DvB8DFahJrqxjW3hioqdZFUU91rqbmEhoLENCPuC9JXHTbRoCVT8QAvD_BwE

But I was never able to keep one. I would take it to school or home and it would be worn out and lost .

Seeing how some people who did not like the Jack Chick.com tracts and I did, I wanted to know why they felt the way they did. They felt as though they were being condemned by those who felt they were “holier than thou.”

And I get that too. They are very direct and preach hard about heaven and hell through situations in life. But no one I know likes to be yelled at and having their finger wagging at them. That includes me. I have met women who felt I should not wear pants made for women (even on a cold day under a dress), or make-up to be well groomed, fashionable modest clothing So yeah. I have had my share of those types of Christians judging me too.

I want to show the love of JESUS in my tracts I am working on. I will share them with you once I am able to somehow save them in a PDF file. I feel I need to spread the love a JESUS in a way that is not pointing the finger , using scare tactics and yelling.

Drawings and more drawings. You know you have to be able to fit the drawing and the scripture on to one sheet of paper. and that can get tricky. You do not want the images or words to be cut off when working on the tract.

The first idea or design always takes me longer to do because it is an adjustment period. Re-figuring how things need to be. And always with the thought that you are doing this with our GOD in mind.

Before adding more detail to drawing.

As I get to the point where i will add some color, I will then need to be able to show you all the finished product of encouragement . It takes me longer than some others. I do have a full time job and other projects I do. So be patient and you will see the finished tract. I might not add color as how I see Jack Chick did not to his. I have to give it thoughtful prayer!

Have a blessed day. Stay in prayer! Avoid negative people who aim to disrespect you in all ways possible. They are distractions from keeping your eyes on the LORD.

Peace!
