Dwelling in Wickedness

 "...I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness."

Psalm 84:10


    The lowliest of positions in service to God is better than being a king and serving Satan. The world will try to entice you and tell you that you'll have so much fun with them, but beware; it's all a lie. In the end there is only heartbreak, disaster, and death. Refuse to dwell where there is wickedness. Don't spend your time with those who are not walking with God. 

    Dwelling "in the tents of wickedness" will only leave you empty. Take one good look at a crowd of unsaved people who are talking a laughing, and you will see hollow, empty lives with no purpose. Stay in God's house- that is where you will find true joy.  

    We do have to live in the world- there's no getting away from all the sin. We still have to work and live life. But we do not have to be of the world. Don't allow the unsaved people who you are with on a daily basis to change you or affect your walk with God. As my mom would say, "Be the Light". 

    God does not promise to exalt us here on earth if we are faithful to Him. However, He does promise us Heavenly, eternal riches that will never fade in reward for our faithfulness. Even if you live your entire life as a "doorkeeper" in service for God, don't trade your eternal riches for the worlds cheap fake. No matter how much fun they may seem to be having, the world is empty; chasing new things day after day, looking for happiness and fulfillment. True joy and fulfillment only come from God and serving Him.

It's here!! After many months of much hard work by many people, it's finally done! Thank you to everyone who acted, played, sang, filmed, edited, worked behind the scenes and so many more things!

Right or Left?

                                                         by Joshua R. Walter of Versailles, Kentucky            Left or Right? You choose. I just wanted to warn you.  “And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.  And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, into the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai; into the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell tog...
