Calvary Heights Baptist Church

Calvary Heights Baptist Church: "believers are a sweet fragrance of Christ to one another as we follow in His victory over sin and death. However, to those who don't know Him as Savior, we are a reminder of the judgment they dread. To one I smell sweet and to one I stink."

"We look at the...

"We look at the...: "We look at the past failures and judge the moment in such a way that we over shadow the future with hopelessness and this is why we lose the magic.' - Kem G. Lowery"

Facebook

Facebook: "We are called to act out our faith every day. God works through us to reach those who may never otherwise open the Bible or enter a church. What's more, He borrows our voice to tell His story and uses our life to demonstrate His grace and glory. Good deeds are a believer's labor of love."

Facebook

Facebook: "Too many go to Church get an emotional high and then die the next day as they meet the world head on and wonder what to do because they don't feel that feeling they had at Church. My goal as Pastor is the give the folks who come the sound Word and a sense on how to live it day by day. The excitment is great but short lived, I'm in Church only little but in the world more so I must learn to live for FATHER by faith and not emotions, emotions are not wrong but given by FATHER and my love for HIM is emotional and on purpose. When I learn to live on purpose and on principle then I have come to a place of peace and contentment."

We make choice

We make choices. It's like baseball, you get so many up to bats and you even get 3 strikes & 4 balls with 9 innings but if you don't do well in that you might get to warm the bench or get traded. In life It's more than just a game so we must make the right choices because striking out can cause great losses and getting trade is not fun. The next team may not be as good as the one you just left.

Each had my heart and each still lives there by way of love.'"

Facebook

Facebook: "HARD TO SLEEP, thinking but not depressed about the good times and bad times of life and how FATHER has orchestrated it all to this day to bring me into HIS image, I want to be like my FATHER, I want to love like HIM, to serve like, to care like, to have a heart for HIS children, my brothers as HE does. FATHER, what ever it takes I give it to you."

Facebook (1) | Kem G. Lowery My acceptance and worth is not dependent on other's acceptance of me, even if they are fellow believers. Whether they accept me or not, I am still deeply loved, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, totally accepted and complete in Christ. He alone is the final authority on my worth and acceptance. MY RESPONSE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY.

MY RESPONSE IS MY RESPONSIBILITY.: "Laura Register Hester It was quite a load off when I realized (God revealed) that if I am worried about what someone is thinking or saying about me, then they are my focus, so in a sense, I have just exalted them to God's position. Not only was I giving their opinion control of my emotions, I was in idolatry. How ridiculous that if a person hurts you, you make them god!! I came to the conclusion that some people just plain won't like me and I can't help that. But, letting go of trying to fix it/control it released me to love them unconditionally, rather than by seeking to please them and earn their approval. Somehow letting go gives you permission to see their perspective and love them anyway.

And yes, Ken has been on that topic in regard to parenting. I love Ken. He gets it!!"

Love & Respect - My Response Is My Responsibility

Facebook | Kem G. Lowery: "Fear is an army of giants, for it multiplies one into many. At the same time it does that, it also makes us grasshoppers in our own eyes. We lose sight of the promise that we can do all things through Him who strengthens us. We lose the ability to see anything in its true perspective."

Facebook | Kem G. Lowery: "� When the outlook looks grim, Christ is your strength. � When the circumstances seem volatile, Christ is your stability. � When the future appears foreboding, Christ remains your hope. � The strength of Christ is both inexhaustible and immeasurable—and it is yours to receive."

"I can through Christ"

Too often we let our circumstances determine our attitude. If life is going smoothly, then we feel good about ourselves; when it gets hard, our mood drops. But we don't have to live this way. Like the apostle Paul practice the secret of being content. Contentment means accepting things the way they are—in other words, not wanting anything more or different. This requires developing an "I can through Christ" attitude.

happy ever after

what ever happened to "happy ever after". I know in eternity it will be but the abundant life should also include "happy" too!!!!! I guess it all comes down to as a man thinketh in his heart so is he, stupid brain wake up and smell the coffee. I have joy but there is a difference between joy and happiness. I hate seeing someone eat ice cream when I desire ice cream, what? Can anyone say, "envy".

the Devil wants to Brainwash you

The Devil knows that if he can get to a man, remove the props, strip him of every vestige of aid, take away his security blanket, he can upset him and turn him upside down, destroy his morale, rearrange his thinking, and brainwash him. Where are you at in the Devil's process?

*** My response is my responsibility. No one can control or make me mad, if I get mad it is because I choose too. Every man must bear his own burden.



*** What I tolerate today I or my children will embrace tomorrow. If we dont stand than our children will fall for it.

*** It's not what the person across the street thinks about me that will hurt me but what I think about the person across the street that will hurt me."

I don't have to forward any text messages and I dont have to put a neat little cross typed out using brackets on my facebook to stand up for God! Quite frankly, I don't need to stand up for God! God is....GOD! I choose to glorify His name because of His grace! He doesn't need me as His defender! He is my defender!"

about to re-live

We always talk about redoing this or that, so why not just decide to re-live your life. I mean re-do, change the way you think and therefore change your life. It all begins with your thinking then moves to your beliefs and then will become a way of life, so who's stopping you other than you and that is the 1st place to make the change.
God said, as a man thinketh so is he, so how are you?

The goal of all discipline should be restoration

2 Thessalonian 3 (King James Version) 14And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
15Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother." The goal of all discipline should be restoration. God wants to bless us, not judge us, and sometimes the best way to move us into a place fit for blessing is to make us uncomfortable for a while. C. Stanley

Be you.

Nobody can be who you are, nobody can replace you, and nobody else on this earth is capable of fulfilling the Father's plan for you. Nobody else can do the work HE has gifted you to do, know the people HE is leading you to know, or offer the praise and prayer that HE is giving voice to. You must be and do what Father made you to be and do.

stop the drift

when the motion ends the drift begins. There are so many folks that today are in trouble because they stopped. They stopped living right, eating right, loving right, they stopped doing the right, saying the right and thinking the right. Start again, get the motion going and stop the drift. When you drift you have no control, take back the power of you.

if the sink is leaking fix it, if the car needs gas put some in it, if you have a cut put a bandage on it and if you need to get things right do it. MAKE NO PROVISION FOR FAILURE. Did you get it, now do something about it!!!!!!!

Time to start once again

It has been a while that I posted anything, many changes in life and much not as I have desired have come. Now is the time to begin a again to take back what the locusts have eaten. FATHER has been my school master for many years but during this past year I have come to understand more of what HE has been saying and at times liked it and at other times did not. It is only when we become teachable can we learn any way. I have said for years we should be "F.A.T. for Jesus", what I mean is F= faithful, A= available and T= teachable. If we would but learn these three simple things just think how much more we could grow and be used by FATHER.
