...

So... I haven't been on in a while... Not posting, not responding... Not even looking... Uh... At my blog of course! (and other people's blogs (specifically Dan's and Bella's... I didn't even know those were still active!)


So... With hardly a week and a half of summer left, I'm deciding to start posting (and talking) on blog again... Kind of too late... Oh well... Family Force 5's new album didn't come out at the begining of summer... It came out yesterday (the 19th)... I considered that too late. So some times the good things in life come too late (what does that mean?)

Speaking of Family Force 5... I'm going to buy they're new album... Dance or Die tomorrow... If it's GOD's will, of course!

Expect a full review and some pictures of the CD tomorrow.

Untill then, I'll try to hoard in some more people so we can have a "full" conversation. Though the contributions from Kyle and Bella should be good... I'll give Dcaf and Yeli a holler...

So... Got to end with a quote. How 'bout two? Sounds good...

Delayed Obedience is Disobedience.

A second serving...

Those who put thier trust in the LORD soar on wings like eagles.

~Isaiah 30:41

That last quote, from the Bible, is one you hopefully know... At least those going to ASA. That's kind of a shout out to all people going to ASA.

...

Also, the Bible is also pretty much the supreme source of coolness, so ending a post with a Bible verse pretty much makes this post golden.

Respond, Share, Discuss...

Praying for you... God bless...

In Order to Maintain Casualness...

This...

... Is the message I post on the back of the cartoons I draw of people. No, no, I don't mean like the insulting pictures of political figures you find in newspapers! I draw cartoons of people upon their request in order for them to enjoy a view of themself in a different way, and more importantly to lead them down the path of righteousness... To lead them to have a greater relationship with God.

I believe the little box above delivers the desired impact.

Many people use my drawings as bookmarks (to which they work quite nicely, I must say), so when they are done reading their book, they can then see the message, and... WHAMOO!!!... Message delivered.

Casualness... Ha ha.

God bless you all! Peace be with you. Good providence.

The True Meaning...

As you begin to steadily read your Bible, you might come across what you consider to be your favorite verse. This verse might appear very inspirational to you. It could quite possibly define your relationship with God. Maybe it seems to resemble goals or characteristic traits that you have, or want to have. Whatever the reason, you have picked it as "your favorite verse."

Now, as you continue to read your Bible and grow in your relationship with God, you may realize a totally different meaning to your verse. A new meaning that makes it even more significant to you... That goes into deeper depths of truth.

For example... My favorite verse is:

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." -Romans 12:21

Ever since I began reading the Bible, this has been my favorite verse. (I know it by heart... I don't even have to look it up). However, just the other day, I realized it's true meaning, and how it is meant to be lived out.

I was being tempted to do something against God... Something I do not want to write. I almost fell into the pit of temptation, when, suddenly, I shoved the idea right back into Satan's face! I proclaimed victoriously, "Get behind me! Don't try to make me do that again! Just because you suggested the idea of doing something evil, I am going to instead read my Bible." Then I went and read a few chapters. I knew I had just savagely stomped on the devil in Jesus' name, and that probably knocked him away from me for a while... Then I realized my verse. I had just lived it out. I refused to be overcome with evil, and instead, I overcame it with Chuck Norris!... Uh... I mean... Good! At that revolutionary moment, I had realized the true meaning of my verse. And now that verse will always be there to aid me when I fight the good fight. In a sense, it has added to my armor of God. (Well, I guess the Bible would be considered the sword, because the word is the sword, but in Ephesians the sword is also the spirit... So... I guess it works either way).

Now that you see my example, you can look forward to finding the true meaning to your favorite verse, or literally every verse in the Bible. It's funny how you can read the whole Bible, but never fully understand what you are reading until a little while after. I believe that if we unlock the true meaning of the Holy Scriptures, they will come alive to us in new ways that were never thought imaginable.

Just keep reading, and have endurance.

God bless you all. Peace be with you. Keep your eyes on Jesus.

"My Alliance Consists of:"

3. Mr. T

2. Chuck Norris

1. Jesus

In Addition to what's Below...

The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me

For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God।

For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me।

I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity।

Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

Psalm 18:20-24

So, why have I so randomly posted this Psalm here? Well, that's because I was reading my Bible the other day, and I read over this Psalm. Then I began to compare these four verses with the 3-part post that I wrote a few days ago. They match well. I would have put this on my post below... However, the people who read it already probably wouldn't look back there and see it. So... I have placed it right here (as you can see), and if you haven't yet read the last post, I highly suggest you do.

GOD bless you. Peace be with you.

Your servant, RC Hammer

(I feel the need to do something random... I know! How about a picture of Mr. T? How about two or three? Sound good? It does to me!)

(Now that's more than Colonel Sanders can shake a drumstick at! Yeah! I got my Colonel joke in! Delicious!)

Welcome to Meijers: Higher Prices, Lower Standards

Raising your Standards

Part 1

I've noticed something very alarming that I think I should mention before it is way overdue; A great number of Christians have lowered their standards. What do I mean by this? I mean they have lowered the term "sin" and brought it down to almost nothing. They have raised their acceptance of many sinful, ungodly things. Some even take the next step and begin to perform such wicked deeds. They've taken God's law, threw it into the trash, and written up their own "ideas" in place of God's holy and perfect law. God's law? I'm talking about things like lying, committing adultery (if you look at someone with lust, that's adultery too), or even using God's name in vain (that's a very big one). You understand... The basics. Things like the Ten Commandments. Great multitudes of Christians, maybe even you, may think that some of these things are okay to do. But I'm here to warn you; When you die, these are the things God will judge you by. Will you be innocent or guilty? Will you be the one professing God or possessing God? Remember, heaven is spotless... It cannot contain sinful things.

You may be the one thinking that you don't need to live by God's law, that you can participate in corrupt and vile deeds. However, remember that you are a temple of God... The Bible says that any one who destroys the temple will be destroyed. (I mean "destroying the temple" by sinning).

...

Also, why would you want to participate in sinful things? You were saved by Jesus Christ! He took you out of your harmful state and cleaned you up, made you one of His chosen few! He didn't have to... He could have left us all stranded on this earth. You were forgiven because He was forsaken! (Goodness! I using a lot of quotes from songs). What I mean to say in this part can best be summed up by Jesus, when He said, "If you love me, you will keep my commands."

Some of God's children have been corrupted by their own sinful acts, which consume them and lead them to death. So, I think it's my responsibility as a servant (and friend) of God to give this message of repentance. (Kind of like John the Baptist... "Repent! The kingdom of God is at hand!"... I could see Mr. T saying that too...). So, all of you who are consumed by sinful works, repent, and be washed clean with the holy and powerful blood of Jesus Christ. Stay away from all sin, iniquity, and anything that is against God's law that will lead you away from the path of life. I come to you in Jesus' name, and I call you to raise your standards. (If you don't know what to raise, then I highly suggest you spend some time in the light, with your Bible. If you are already a Christian, you should be reading it a lot anyway).

Raising your Standards

Part 2

So, reading over this you might have some questions or complaints, like, "Your not Chuck Norris, you can't tell me what to do!!!" Or, "Maybe I'm guilty of this stuff, but what about you? You have sinned too." Alright, concerning the second one... My answer...

I believe what the Bible says. And the Bible says that no one is without sin. Therefore, I say myself, I am evil. However, there is one who is perfect and without sin, Jesus Christ. And judging by His perfect law (the Bible), I perceive you to be evil too. I am not telling you that you need to raise your standards by my own speculation and ideas, but I am telling you all of this with my eyes on God's law... the perfect and upright law. You see, I'm correcting my sinful acts, I'm getting rid of them. I am raising my standards. Right now, I am simply calling you to do the same. In Christ's name, amen.

Raising your Standards

Part 3

Don't go away yet! I have one more part to cover. Yes, I want you to raise your standards, meaning to accept less sinful things... Meaning to accept no sinful things actually. But I also want you to accept more holy things. How about reading your Bible more... or praying to God... A lot! Everyone reading this knows about prayer closets (there are other names for them too) right? It's a place where you pray to God at least once a day. If you don't yet have one, you should build one up. How about fasting? Basicly, what I'm trying to say here is that you should try to dedicate yourself a little bit more to God, not only by pushing away sinful things, but also by getting closer to godly things.

That is my message. Think about it.

God bless you all. Peace be with you. I'll be praying for you.

The Birth of Jesus Foretold

Luke 1:26-38

The Birth of Jesus Foretold

26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

34"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

35The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37For nothing is impossible with God."

38"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

He is coming. Are you prepared?
