Scoffers Just As The Bible Said

Draw this picture in your mind!

A soldier on the wall looking through his scope and lining up the hairs on the target but the target is a Book full of prophecy and your scope is attempting to hit the target of every Word and then pull from under his arm a paper and pinpoint that target Word to the Word of that newspaper and have the discernment of hear and see that's what the Lord was talking about!!!!! Excitedly he takes his news back to his company or his men and they look at him and just shrug their shoulders and it has little to no meaning. Oh and let's not forget the word that has been going around forever. We've heard it all before and the time may be a long time off. Well that could all very well be true but Jesus said you would know even at the door. So anyway, if you find someone who cares enough to do a watch for you and your family. Be grateful but again the Bible says that too would be hard to come by in the last days. Scoffers on every hand. They are on the news too! Be grateful for those who care to watch and take care of the busy you find really boring and you put them down for. I always was and am very glad for it. Crystal

Some May Agree and Some May Disagree But It's Necessary To Say!

For years I have been so weary of attitudes in the music industry from Pastors to passerby's about the music I play. I am determined to tell people YOU HEAR BUT YOU DO NOT LISTEN! Pastor's get all upset because if the music isn't Southern Gospel they don't endorse it. If it's Southern Gospel and not Worship or Contemporary then another group gets upset. Well I want to explain something. Their comments about Contemporary Gospel is unjustified in many ways at the worst times. Those that dislike Southern Gospel is unjustified in many way. When I sit here day in and day out since 93 I think I have somewhat of a grasp on what I know for my station. I don't speak for others and their feelings only mine. I was in secular music years ago so it's not a hobby station. I'm very serious about what I do. There is as much wrong in Southern Gospel as in Contemporary and vise versa. Why? Because some of the Southern Gospel I can put in a jute box in places and there would be no difference in what's being listened to then what I hear come through here I don't play. Same goes with Contemporary. Pastors and passerby's say you play that Southern Gospel stuff. Some don't like it if it's got a fiddle in it. Some don't like if it doesn't. If I can't tell that the music is directed to the Lord our God and not some cross over possibility love letter to someone they are in love with I don't play that either. It's got to say and move my heart. When I can sit here and listen and just cry as I hear lyrics worked hard on and music that brings my heart to listen and know what the writer has reached for in the lyrics it's missing something. I don't play it. I can tell and if you'd just listen and not just make judgments on what you think you hear you'd hear that message. It reminds me of how Jesus reacted when the disciples told Him...you can't go in there they aren't like us. They are tax collectors, prostitutes. He didn't come for the righteous and the music I listen to and air has that message and it is reaching someone. It may not be always be the way WE THINK it should be but we are just as much flesh as the rest and nothing of our own. Jesus said our best, our righteousness is as filthy rages so what I see and know is people have lost their compassion, and love for what doesn't fit in their little box just right just as children. God is bigger than that. Look at the middle east and all that is going on even in Israel and yet He loves her enough to have a supernatural protection on her. Is she right? No, but He said they would be saved. So many here in America argue that we are Jews graphed in...I get e-mails all the time asking me when I am going to worship the right Yahweh. Good grief. Try hard as you like but you aren't a Jew. You'll never be a Jew. We are graphed in but we are invited...INVITED to the table. The table doesn't belong to us. That table belongs to our Lord and He died for the entire world so that's a pretty big table! It was made to fit a whole bunch of people. Long ago I use to hear people say there will be many in Heaven really surprised walking around dumb founded when they see who is really there thinking they shouldn't be. What are you doing here? Go find a tree where another is graphed in. The tree is the what we are fed from. We aren't the tree. Because you are saved and born again and a child of the King it is through Jesus that you even get to be at the table when He says. He called you by name. We aren't righteous enough to even seek him. You don't go running to the table and pull the chair back and jump up there at the feast like you own it. You didn't pay for it. You wait until you are told. When people get that in their heads that they are a child of the King and all the riches are now theirs. Where are they? They await us in Heaven. We run around acting like we own everything and we are privileged characters here on earth. Excuse me but again...where are our riches? Where are we privileged characters? God said Occupy till I come and in Matthew what did He say the world would be like and what did Paul say when he was getting his head cut off...I have fought the good fight and I have won the race. Where did all that occur and why was he telling us to put on the whole armor of God? This is not our home and our flesh is going to have to endure here. We were not promised the earth would be a happy clappy place for us. We were promised riches and glory of Heaven. Read the Book! Everyone looks to man to tell them everything. God's instructions are in the Book.  

We are spoiled and behave spoiled even to our brothers and sisters. Can't even agree and we fight among ourselves and love to see someone in the family get spanked. Why I have heard people laugh when someone is in trouble or brought down. They gossip and do wrong by each other. Try to get ahead by walking over people. Maybe they should have been but we best not laugh for there by the grace of God go I. I've listened to people say well they aren't saved that's why. They didn't have enough faith to be healed that's why. HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? GOD'S JUDGING YOU BY THE STICK YOU'RE USING ON THAT PERSON. YOU CAN NOT JUDGE THEIR HEART POSITION WITH GOD. Frankly, it is non of your business either. You want the people you run around with or hang out with or preach to knowing your real heart business? If you say I am so pure there is nothing in me that I wouldn't be ashamed for everyone to know. I have heard it! Must be nice to be that righteous. I'm surprised the Lord leaves you here because the devil ain't bothering you so your not working for the Lord. We're wrong and we have been wrong. Everyone's running and saying the Lord is coming back...oh praise God the Lord is coming back. When you are acting so self righteous and think you and what you do is better than others We AREN'T READY FOR THE Lord to come back. We all do think our own little lamps are ready. Are you sure? You go to Church and you feel you are doing it all right. Do you love your neighbor enough to give him the last piece of bread you have and make such a sacrifice? The birth pangs may just show each of us how difficult that may be because Jesus said if I didn't come even the elect would be deceived. That can't be the trib time. It's going to get bad. I may not be here to see it. But I don't look to America for my signs. I look to Israel and the time clock we are suppose to be watching and praying and supporting. The world is all in the birth pangs. But too many just do not watch the news. It's doesn't save souls. I've been told to forget about watching the news because it doesn't save souls. No, maybe it doesn't but it tweaks and peaks the information of my heart to what Jesus gave to the disciples to watch for that we would know it even at the door. So those who condemn those who do...you might want to consider again Listen! You might appreciate that they are looking out for you. You hear but do not listen. Are you listening enough to even hear the trumpet call or too busy running around doing what you think is right condemning along your way.  

Some of the most beautiful words of encouragement are written in the music I air. Sermons for years are held within the lyrics and scriptures are there. I'm not saying if I don't play something they are wrong. No! We all answer to God not to man but for me and where I fit within the family to do and where I feel lead is what I play. If I don't play it it doesn't mean I don't like or disagree with it and maybe it just isn't for me. I am tired of attitudes even from other stations for years. There are even music distribution areas that claim so much and yet their hearts do not reflect the fruit of the words they speak or the way they treat each other or even those within their own group. We are a clerkish bunch and the Lord doesn't like it. One day it will all come out and people will make it right but not because they can...it will be because the Lord has shown them and He will do it for them for He cleanses us and makes us white as snow. We don't! But you are not just a blob of flesh. You have your free will and choices you can and do make openly and quietly. So that means you have an obligation to work and to do that which is right. I love you all and I pray each of us seeks the Lord heavily in our hearts and soul for the times we have here. Every day and every hour we need His mercy and grace and He needs our fellowship. I am chief among sinners but I do try every day to do it better than the day before. 

Until Next Time,
