Be Bold

 Be Bold

When reading Hebrews 4:16 and Prov 28:1 use this definition of bold.
You will see that nothing in this definition implies being a jerk but it also plainly shows that being a milk toast wimp isn’t apart of the definition either.
1. Daring; courageous; brave; intrepid; fearless; applied to men or other animals; as, bold as a lion.
2. Requiring courage in the execution; executed with spirit or boldness; planned with courage and spirit; as a bold enterprise.
3. Confident; not timorous.
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
When we come to the throne in our time of need we are not to come groveling. We come boldly, confidently not because of us but because of our confidence and trust in who The Father is, because of of what Jesus did for us and through power of the Holy Spirit in us.
For us to come any other way would be insulting.
As born again people adopted into God’s family when we are in need of anything and especially forgiveness, we must understand that we can come to the One who loves us and obtain everything we need. Especially forgiveness. Not because we deserve it but because He loves us.
Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one pursues,
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
We are to walk as lions. Not because of us but because we have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. For us to walk timidly is again insulting to what Jesus has done for us. He paid a huge price for us to become part of the family of God. THE Royal family. You were born again into Royalty. Act like it

1st Report from 2nd Ireland Trip

  Report From second Ireland trip.     Arrived in Ireland on time and very blessed.  The Lord provided me access to an airport lounge for my layover in Washington DC and for a row by myself to stretch out on the plane flight over.  Superfast pick up of the rental car and off I went to Castledaly.    Castledaly is a wonderful retreat/summer camp facility.  There was actually another retreat going on the same time as Outreach Ireland’s retreat.  The European Christian Mission and I the great privilege of meeting and speaking with Jonathan McCracken who is a church planter currently planting a church in Claremorris, Ireland.  Being that church planting is a passion of mine and part of my calling/mission this was indeed a divine appointment.  I was able to exchange contact information and am hoping to build relationship with him.

Been With Jesus

  Acts 4:13   Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.   I saw a clip from an interview with R.T. Kendall where he was asked this question, “After 70 years in ministry what would be your advice to a young R.T. Kendall?”  His answer was that though he himself has many degrees he would not recommend to young ministers to go to seminary.  He mentioned Acts 4:13. His recommendation was to do 2 things.  Pray a lot and know your Bible. He said that God wants us to know 2 things, His Word and His ways. He pointed out that how we know His ways or anyone’s ways is to spend time with them. This is not the first time that Acts 4:13 has jumped out to me. This time I ask myself the question do unbelievers know that I have been with Jesus?  The they that realized in Acts 4:13 wasn’t the church but unbelievers....
