Are You Visiting or Vested? Part V

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:10:24 +0000

Today is our last entry on being “vested”, instead of just viisitng. Many people try different religions, probably most of you reading have at one tine or another looked into “another way”. Our journey in search for “truth” often takes various turns, and it is the gift of God’s grace that has led us to this point, where we discover the “Way, The Truth, and the Life”. The marvelous thing we discover as we mature on this journey, is that God’s love is not greater as we grow, nor is it less forgiving. A newborn baby puts a smile on our face, we love that baby not because it has done things right – it can barely do anything but cry and let everyone know that they have needs that someone needs to meet. As the child grows, although their ability to function in “doing” become greater with age – their needs do not change, in fact in many ways they intensify. One of the hardest challenges of all is for the parents of grown children to find the balance between allowing them the freedom to make and pay for their choices, while recognizing that even as adults they have needs. read more...

Those of who are employed or have been employed recognize one thing above all – the more time you put in a place, the more you become interested in what is going on at that place. In addition, it is just human nature to believe that longevity has its’ rewards. When its’ time for a lay-off the natural assumption is that those who came last, who be the first to be laid off. What we are seeing on a daily basis is, that is not necessarily so. We are also seeing that in the financial sector at-large where people who have annuities, stocks, bonds, etc – lost thousands, sometimes millions of their life investments when the market began to fall. This may be true in the world system, but it is not true in the Kingdom. The more you invest in walking with God, the more dividends you reap – albeit they may not all be tangible. read more...

Are You Visiting or Vested? Part II

When I became a Christian I don’t think it was said outright, but the translation for me was – get saved and all your problems will be over, now—and forever! You can imagine my surprise when the honeymoon faze was over and I discovered that I was on a roller coaster ride where every stop appeared to be worst than the first. I had problems as an unbeliever living in the world, but I expected them – everybody had trouble. I did not expect life to be so difficult as a Christian, I had in my mind that every day was going to be sunny and life was going to be a walk in the park for, after all, Jesus paid it all! read more...

Lately, I have been involved in conversations concerning annuities, life insurance, trusts, etc. It had me look at a few papers of my own. For one retirement plan that I have, because I only worked part-time and only for a few years, I noticed in the explanation that I was not “vested”, and in another section it told me what I would have to do to become “vested”. This brought to my mind how important it is to understand certain legalities before you approach your “seasoned years”. read more...

As we continue to examine the Grace in Goshen, I want to encourage you to believe every promise that Jesus has revealed to us through the life of Joseph and his brothers. But even more than that, it’s my desire for you to believe in the One who made the promises – Jesus Christ, the Son of God! read more...

As we continue to examine the promises of provision that Joseph made to his brothers, those of us who think that people get, or should get, what they deserve may be struggling with these promises because of the grace that he showed his brothers. After all, Joseph’s brothers did not deserve it! What they deserved was everything that Joseph himself had experienced – years of slavery and imprisonment – because of their jealousy and betrayal! read more...
