A Smoky Mountain HI

Here is a journey I make each day. Time flows on this side of eternity. I have aged as gracefully as reasonable as can be be expected, and yet feel not a day older in my mind. As I begin a life in the Smoky Mountains I hope you will share my journey as well. www.kleincabin.com

I will never understand the price of the cross.

God is bigger that the “stuff” in your life.

When troubles come into your life, so will Grace.

You can never disagree with God and be right!

When troubles turn out the lights around you, your testimony turns them back on!

The power of God is greater than the grip of your problems.

Truth survives circumstances.

Seeing a genuine Christian either makes you glad or sad.

Walking in darkness brings loneliness.

Grief and birth challenge our faith.

Giving is living!

Death separates our bodies but not our hearts.

The passing of a loved one allows you to burry any differences you may have with them and love them even more.

The power of mercy is overwhelming.

Truth is more durable than hardships.

True character only exhibits itself when you have a choice.

How hard is it for God to get your attention?

It is hard to move forward when you have a stake in the past.

The ordinary presence of God often goes unnoticed.

Praise is always the right attitude!

God see no one that is useless but He sees many who refuse to be used.

People don’t hold grudges; grudges hold people.

God has a delivery system for all of His children.

A Christian always lives in the presence of God; always!

Where do you feel the most discomfort in the presence of God, or in the presence of Satan?

Never neglect the ones who love you!

Beyond where you can see is what you believe.

What you believe effects what you will see.

It is what we see by Faith that forms what we do.

Bitterness never helps you feel better!

Fear contains the seeds of chaos.

Spiritually speaking, "Fear is the cloak of the cowardly."

Grace neutralizes fear.

To fear the future is to surround it with all the possibilities of failure

Put your future in God’s hand and lose the fear of failure.

Sinners tend to define their sins to camouflage their effect.

A Christian can never lose everything.

An abundant life is a result of commitment, not your success.

Pray for those who think they do not need your prayers or God.

Prayer keeps the pipes of Faith from becoming clogged.

Doubt makes loud noises while Faith just marches on.

Shun doubt but protect your Faith.

Being wrong happens, but sin is a choice.

Whenever you sin, it means you have accepted the unacceptable.

By the way, righteousness, is only a prayer away.

Thinking will keep you from becoming thoughtless.

Learn from others and fail less.

Borrowing trouble leads to default.

Carry a brief resume’ and a long praise list.

The more I love myself the less I know of God.

If Faith can move mountains; Love will keep you sweet while you do!

Only a loving heart can mend a bleeding heart.

If you are slinging mud you are getting dirty.

If Christians don’t agree with one another, one will not try to destroy the other.
 
This world is your mission field not Heaven.

A grudge becomes a flame that consumes friendships.
 
Whenever you step on a loved one you leave footprints.

Jesus never serves crumbs to the faithful.

Most people want the facts, but avoid the truth.

Splitting hairs in a congregation leaves them thread barren.

Cutting words wound over and over again.

A wound from a friend festers more than one from an enemy.

If you are too wise for counsel you are destine for ignorance.

It is better to love being loved than to love to be hated.

The only to make marriage work is to turn it into a love affair.

Hindrance are just vertical stepping stones.

Help someone fill their need today even if they didn't know they had one.


Heaven is full of those who gathered righteousness over money.
 
Never accept counsel from and evil man.

If you are not in some battle with Satan you will have no victories.

Bitterness, being judgemental, and sarcasm sour any gospel you preach.

The braggart pulls no load.

Kind words live in the closets of our hearts.

Often faithfulness is promoted over potential.

The less you seek the love of men the more you are noticed by God.

The trophies are reserved for those who stayed in the battle.

It is dangerous to love a treacherous person.

The love a good man is better that the riches of and evil one.

The reward for the good deeds I should have done yesterday, bring a little less reward if done today.
 
Being thankful makes you rich; being rich may not make you thankful.

Tuesday, February 01, 2011

Never consult evil to find good.

Promise less that you can deliver.

Deliver more than you have promised.

Prayer is more about persistence than position.

Pure love needs to be spring fed from above to within.
