Hi Pastor Greg, yes I agree!! Thanks for this, this morning! It can even be a distraction to argue all the finer points of endtimes Prophecy!! We here all know that Jesus is coming soon as we have learned it from the Bible! Thank God for our great endtimes teachers! What a huge advantage.... And now, as you say, as Paul said, to live is Christ! This week a woman who speaks English as a second language, came to the door of my school bus, and asked me if I had anything to eat? Her bus had broken down several times this week and she was running buses, trying to get a bus that would actually work for the afternoon run! She missed lunch. She was hungry. I reached in my purse and gave her the apple wrapped in a paper towel, that I had brought for myself to eat later that afternoon, and gave it to her. She was so grateful! I heard the Holy Spirit say, do more of that.... Yes indeed. To live is Christ! Now more than ever we have to step away from the keyboard and let Jesus lead us into all the good works that He has prepared for us in advance. It is an honor to serve the King! And even to die for Him if He requires. To die, of course... is gain. 🌻

Amen brother. So true. When the Samaritan's Purse came here to our county after the devastating floods, some of those workers came to my work (Kentucky River Medical Center) and those who chose to go outside, we all held hands and prayed outside of the hospital. They were there to help flood victims but also to give encouragement and hope to the lost. I am forever grateful for those who serve not only the natural needs but most importantly the spiritual needs. May God richly bless those who came to help. What better way to reach the lost than to show them the love of God, by sacrificing time to help in times of need and to reach out to those who are hurting with the good news of the gospel.

Hello Kari Smalley Gibson! I am unconditionally loved by Jesus and my Heavenly Father is soon turning to Jesus saying, "Son Go Get Your Bride as all is ready!" I sure am ready!

Sadly we received a phone call telling us that my husband's sister Sally was rushed to the hospital last Sunday with severe pain. After much testing she was found to have a very large tumor on her liver. Further testing

had her diagnosed with stage 4 cancer throughout her body. Doctors told her children that she has 3-6 months at the most. Sally (75) is a vibrant spirit filled Christian and has touched oh so many lives for Jesus. I shared with her children what I learned 29 years ago when cancer invaded my body, "DOCTORS CAN MAKE A DIAGNOSIS BUT GOD ALONE HAS YOUR PROGNOSIS!"

It's so good to connect with my TP family again! ❤️🙏🙃 Carol

Oh Carol, my heart hurts for her and for your family. You are so right. God is the ultimate healer and praise be to him for healing you. My husband was healed from kidney cancer before we met. He said that when he got a call from a pastor to come to his church to be annointed, he didn't understand why that it wasn't his pastor. He went not knowing this man. When he got to the church, the pastor asked him to come to the front and all of those who believed in healing. He said that the elderly women starting kicking off their shoes and coming up to the front. When they started praying, he said that he felt that cancer leave his body. What an annointing service that God performed that day! He went to the hospital the following Tuesday and the doctors prepped him for surgery. But he told the doctor before he went under that they wouldn't find anything. Sure enough when he came to, the doctor told him that he don't know what happened to that cancer and that he got to keep that kidney. He gave the doctor the thumbs up sign and told them, "I told you so". God can work miracles. I truly believe that.

Awesome testimony of your husband's healing. I believe that every doctor sees miracles and will stand before the Lord with no excuse

of God's revalation of Himself!

How ever I leave this big ball of dirt called earth I pray that all I come in contact with there's no question where I stand and they get a heavenly invitation from the King! I will not go out quietly. Praise the King of Kings.

That was excellent Greg. I must admit I have been feeling a bit ‘flat’ over the last couple of days, praying Jesus hurry up and take us home. God reads me like a book - guess I really needed this - thanks for that 😊🙏

2 Timothy 4:8 talks about receiving a crown of righteousness for looking forward to ahi’s appearing. So obviously a big reward for being heavenly minded. And in Luke, Mary was praised for choosing what was better, which was sitting at Jesus feet, even though it kind of heaped up extra work for Martha. So I believe we are supposed to be heavenly minded. And in doing so, we live a little more like Christ every day. Hopefully, Think like He does, act more like Him, serve more like Him, while here. Only reason we aren’t already together is because He has work here He is trying to accomplish through us. He could snap His fingers and it would all be done. But He wants us to do it instead and walk with us while we are trying to be like Him. Hoping all of you, my friends, are enjoying a nice weekend.

Looks like I can’t edit my comments, had a typo at top. Should be “His”.

Hi Justin, agreed!! I tend to be more of a Mary than a Martha, but I love it when He gives me those opportunities to serve Him straight from the Heart!! What a God we serve! 🌻

Thanks so much for thinking of us. We are doing really well. Just been a bit swamped with life. Not being here each time has been detrimental for me, I really need and enjoy the fellowship. When it says not to forsake fellowship in the last days, now I know why. Just need it even more nowadays. So thank you and so glad to be here with all of you my friends.

I'm glad everything is okay with you guys. 😊 Since we were not raptured by the Feast of Trumpets, I now have quite a bit to do before winter comes upon us. I was hoping to get out of it, but it wasn't meant to be....yet. We still know the rapture will be soon. Did you ever think things would get so crazy in this world so quickly? I'm amazed to hear talk about nuclear weapons and armageddon come out of the mouths of the current governments. GBU

I never thought I would see the world progress so quickly towards the end. And these leaders are even referencing all these things without being Christian, which is really quite a testimony. Now we know why the Bible says the last days will be perilous.

Expand full comment

And saying all of these things, they don't realize they are fulfilling Bible prophecy. Just like the Bible says of the end times scoffers, they are fulfilling the Bible, so is the scriptures that states they would call good evil, and evil good. Man, are we ever living in the last of the last days. Good to hear from you once more Justin.

You have to be heavenly minded to be any earthly good. Jesus always said that he did not do anything that he didn't see the Father do...

Thank you for this message that I needed to hear this morning. Given the times, I’ve been struggling with the question; “have I really added anything in my lifetime here on earth that the Lord would count as valuable?” Your words... “the most effective way to do so is in how we live- and to live in Christ.” This statement reminded me of going to the grocery store years ago and almost without fail an old lady (I’m the old lady now) would ask me for help in finding something. It became a joke in my house because it happened so frequently. One day I asked my husband why do they always find me? He looked at me strangely and said because you’re always smiling and making eye contact when you smile. Your message reminded me that we can’t all be great evangelists, teachers, singers, etc. because that’s not the gift we received....every little gesture, added to others providing little gestures turns into little lights that Together form One Huge Bright Light. Thank you for the reminder to keep everything in balance and to live in Christ!

Thank you Pastor Laurie. And just like Glee, my favorite is also Paul. To me, he is real. No fancy pants, holier than thou for him. He is blunt, I have been told I'm to blunt. I don't believe in sugar coating, that's lying, and I have been known to bruise peoples feelings. I don't mean to, but I do. Before I was saved, I was BAD! Now that I'm saved, I fight that Bad every single hour of every single day. My flesh isn't happy about me being saved, and to overcome my flesh I have to stay in the Word, listen to past sermons, and new ones, and try to stay in prayer. My most frequent prayer is," Forgive me Father. " The Apostle Paul helps me know that I can change, that I can do better, and knowing that he struggled to overcome his flesh, well, it gives me hope. So, thank you for this Pastor Laurie.

May God bless you and yours, the rest of our Tipping Point Pastors, and the whole Tipping Point Family. Love in Christ. Maranatha

Hi Verna! Let me assure you that we were all BAD before salvation, it's called SIN. None of us can change us except the Holy Spirit the One Who comes along side us to help, teach, guide and when we blow it He lovingly comforts us! Partner with Him as you yield to His lifetime work of sanctification in you. The Holy Spirit will show us weaknesses in ourselves that we are not even aware of and the roots that they come from. One big stumbling block is any unforgiveness for others, self and even self. Remember to keep short accounts with God. 1 John 1:9 heralds the good news, "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

GBU Verna! ❤️ and a (((HUG)))

Gregg. Fine and dandy up to a point. Paul and many others even up to day, like Jesus did, confirmed the Gospel with signs and wonders. It then became their testimony and not just their opinion. Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. You either believe it or you don’t. One is powerful as they had in the book of Acts and changed the world or merely academic as they had in the early schools of Yale and Harvard. It is time for Power! Love you
