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

Leadership without character is a deception.
Does you blood boil over sin or just get a tad warmer?

Stand on your dreams but do not trample another’s.

Bypass hate go straight for mercy.

Live generously…live meaningfully...live sacrificially…live a God revealing life!

Does your life keep enough Grace to refuel a fallen brother?

Only you can have a life that was lived on purpose.

Extravagant love does not deplete God’s capacity.

I cannot have true joy without revealing Jesus Christ!
Being redeemed require you to participate in life.
Disturbing faith is more demanding than sweet faith…but one need both.

Lord help me to set aside any barriers between me and Thee and help me to place no more.
Life’s best sacrifice is me out and Him in!
Pride can be humbling or noteworthy but it is allowing the light to be turned on me instead of Him.
Are you busy plundering Hell for souls?
Are you living the missionary life or are you boarding up and retreating from the front lines?

Tuesday, April 03, 2012

Are you living a dangerous life...giving Satan woe?
Are you following Jesus or are you being left further and further behind each day?
I feel sorry for those who have experienced miracles but do not see them.
Satan has no fear of you...only of your Faith.
Are you troubling to the darkness around you?

Monday, April 02, 2012

Remember it is God who put Himself into your life.
You are an overcomer because you have been won over to God.

Faith is putting the rest of your life in the Hands of God.
It is Jesus who asked to be yoked with you!
God is more interested in giving you a useful life than a good life.

Today is April Fools Day “a fool is someone who says in their heart there is no God“.
A fool is someone who believes he is right when he knows he is wrong.
An old fool was probably a young fool as well.
You can never fool God, He knows what you think.
A fool is someone who believes that God could be wrong.
