2月4日

I first started my web log to organize my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs at the end of November 2005.

You can read some of my story in “Little Bit About Me.”

I am surprised that my web log developed quickly into some very special friendships. Many have given me some wonderful insights and blessings.

Often I call my frequent travels to certain blogs and their visits a neighborhood called ”Bloggerville.”

For those that frequent my blog on a regular basis know that I like to share how God wants to be involved in each of our daily lives. There are many of us who have suffered through some major trials. Therefore, at times I will share my testimony more intimately. My hope is that it encourages others to see God’s goodness and how real He is with His promises for everyone.

May everyone who comes to 'Blog Quest' feel very comfortable.

You are welcomed to read, meditate, or leave a comment on what I’ve written or on what others have commented.

Thank you for visiting and come back anytime.

- Greg

	MasonDale撰寫： The question of the cross: Matthew 27:35-44 (KJV 1611) And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet. They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. and sitting down, they watched him there; and set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads. And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save theyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. The word cross is translated in several ways, a couple of which are stake and tree. I guess it can be confusing, but Jesus did hang on a cross, thereby shedding His blood for all. 7 月 17 日

	Rebecca撰寫： A friend was telling me once about the ole'"I'm just a sinner saved by grace" baloney but he knew what he was doing because I was doing the "poor me" routine. But when he said that, I rose up and said, I AM NOT A SINNER ANYMORE! I WAS a sinner but now I AM THE REDEEMED OF GOD, BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS! I have come too far and regained everything the enemy stole from me, to listen to any more of his lies anymore. Shalom, Rebecca 11 月 11 日
	MarieAmanda撰寫： Hi Greg, Wow you certainly are a spiritual person, but how can you be so sure you have the right faith ? I'd like to know where in the bible it states that Jesus died on a cross ? As far as i was aware there is no mention at all, if anything it refers to him dying on a stake, ( Acts 5 : 30, Mark 15 : 32, Php 2 : 8 ) to name just a few scriptures from the new world translation. Also i'd just like to point out that we are 'ALL sinners and fall short of the glory of God'. It is as a 'free gift that God declares us righteous by his undeserved kindness through the release by the ransom sacrifice paid by Jesus Christ.' ( Ro 3 : 23, 24 ) ( Ps 51 : 5 ). I hope ypur felow blogger (Carolluis just passing through) will take the time to research a few more scriptures and search her heart for a better understanding of the truth. Anyway Greg, you seem like a nice bloke with a good heart, and it's a real treat to find someone who does have a heart and cares passionately about his beliefs, and no it's not embarassing to tell others about God, it's a gift ! Thankyou for stopping by my space and leaving a comment recently, i hope i have'nt put you off coming back again . Bye for now, luv Mandy x 11 月 5 日
	Willow撰寫： Thank you for your kind comment. I think it is an excellent idea.you have here. I have another space besides the fun animal one where I write as myself not as a fairy and I find great comfort in that. Thanks for visiting please visit again xxx 10 月 21 日
	LayfieldThelma撰寫： Please stop by again.I am also inspired by your words.I am in the grips of studying "Angels" now,as These Beautiful Spirtual Beings of God.Wow!also,I am also a "Work In Progress". I think,perhaps,I fall short of the Glory of God,everyday,thus,I ask Him for "Fresh Mercy" everyday. He is Our Buckler and Our Shield,But to me,He is so much more.I cried to Him in an Hour of Great Distress and He Sent Me an Answer in a most unusual way.I have yet to put it upon my space because it is still in the grips of my mind so vivid I have only told it once.I think,perhaps,God has left His Mark upon these Spaces we have enbarked on, for He is using it as a Testamony to Him. Thank you again for your comment and as I said,I would like to be added as a Christian Friend.I also call This Space,"Our Church" for I feel it is "Annoited" of God. Blessings. Thel 10 月 11 日
	Carol L.撰寫： Ay't then...blows smoke off pistol and places calmly back into holster Just don'tchoo let me hear you callin' nobody born of God a sinner again - and iff'n I do hear it you just know right then n thar...THEM THAR'Z FIGHTIN' WORDS! I'll fightCHOO!!! I'll wrestle you into a headlock and won't let go 'til you cry Uncle! And don't think I cain't do it neither! I can do all thangs through Christ who stengthens me! You got that??? Ay't. 6 月 1 日
	Carol L.撰寫： D'oh, I just saw this... But see? That's the whole problem. I disagree wholeheartedly that God's children need to be saying they are sinners. In fact, that's part of the whole problem! We have people preaching from the pulpits to born again believers saying they are sinners when Christ redeemed them from that state of being a sinner. That was the former conversation. God said we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We need to have more righteousness consciousness not sin consciousness - and I don't mean self-righteousness. Find me one scripture where God has said in His Word that the person born of Him, born anew by the Word of God, is a sinner! Better, yet, find me 3, then we might have something to build a case on since God established even in the Law that in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses let a thing be established and John said in his first eplistle that one of the 3 witnesses that agree in heaven is the Word, and all the witnesses on earth agree with the witnesses in heaven. If God said 2 or 3 witnesses, then let's just go ahead and go for the home run. Find 3 scriptures that apply to the New Testament believer where God says in no uncertain terms that once we've been born from above we are still sinners. I double-dog-dare ya to find 'em! And as soon as you find yours, I'll find my 3+ that state who and what we really are once we've been born from above. Deal? 6 月 1 日
	Greg撰寫： Hey ‘C’… I know where you are coming from… Really I do… That is the problem with words on paper… Yes…Praise God I have been redeemed from the curse! Am I a Bible scholar… By no means… Sometimes I feel like Peter…Stumbling for words… However, when God’s anointing kicks in…I can say to myself… “Where did that come from…I see and hear… That’s your Word God and is right on!!!” Do I know my authority in Christ Jesus…You bet… However, you cannot share ‘Quantum Physics’ with everyone. Better example…I could not throw my daughters my car keys ten years ago and tell them to drive to the store and get me some ice cream. The reason I shared like I did…Yes…Maybe I could have worded it better… More believers need to admit they are sinners, battling their flesh, than walking around all ‘holy than thou’ rattling of scriptures. Even the devil can do that… Many do not understand how we are three-part being… Spirit, soul, and body operate. Most of us let our flesh lead and say… I’m a body, with a soul, and a spirit. With Jesus leading the way…Our Spirit has been totally redeemed. Our soul (mind, will, and emotions) is to be renewed through the Word of God I have heard this in my heart many times when I share here… “Keep it simple” From experience…To overcome my sin nature, and walk free from the bondage of sin is to walk in the Spirit. See… That statement can be confusing to some… I can rattle off a lot of scripture that I stand on…The Gifts…Laying on of hands… Healing testimonies…You know where I am going… However, you cannot feed a baby a t-bone steak. Just be led by His Spirit…Then you can never go wrong being a doer of His Word. The Apostle Paul had a way with words that made their truth loom up clearly and powerfully. "But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound" (Romans 5:20). 3 月 21 日
	Carol L.撰寫： Before I go on, I'm giving you a heads' up that I'm going to do some head-knocking here. You've been walking with God a while; I figure you can take it. If I'm wrong, then just go ahead and give grace and forgive me ahead of time for roughin' ya up a bit. So here goes... You made this statement: I should also point out that…I’m not perfect. I have my spiritual side and my flesh and emotional side. Yes…I’m a work in progress. I'd like to challenge you to take another look at that. And I say this simply because I want us all to come believe the truth about this perfect, finished work wrought in us by Jesus' Christ finished work on the cross. Check it: you're not some schizo! There is no dual nature! You're born of God, fer cryin' out loud! Born of His Word - which is an incorruptible seed! First off, you don't have to go into further detail to explain this flesh bit. I know full well what you're talking about. You're talking about the frailties that we all have that seem to come around way more often than we'd like to see them that seem to bite us in the behind and even hinder us in our walk with God. Believe me, I know all about it. So does God. And He's not moved by our frailties. It doesn't change His Word on the matter. I just want to invite you to try out those hinds' feet the Lord has given you to walk upon your high places and get a glimpse of the view from that higher place is all. Christ who knew no sin became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Look at everything in the Word. Look at it all. All of it in the Old Testament points to Christ. All of the New Testament reveals Him. Guess what. All that you see in the Word, that's Jesus. That's Him. And guess what else: that's you too! Jesus didn't just become your substitute at Calvary. You died with Him there. You were buried with Him by baptism into His death. You are raised up together with Him. You are alive together with Him. And you are seated in heavenly places in Him, with Him. Check and see if every word written here cannot be verified in the Bible. So forget about that flesh stuff! Jesus Christ has come in the flesh! YOUR FLESH! Do you know what that means? It means your flesh is holy! Is Jesus' flesh holy? Are you in Him? Then your flesh is holy, dagnabbit! If there's an image in your mind about being fleshly, do what the Bible says! Put off that image! Put on, be endued with, be clothed with Christ! Lose yourself in Him! Wrap yourself up in Him! All I'm saying is as a man thinks in his heart so is he. So...think on these things... Blessings on ya bro! C :) 3 月 21 日
	Celeste撰寫： HI there! came here from Lori Lams space, she is a cool friend spacer of mine... nice website... I like this particular introduction. LOved the photos, your family is so cute!! Celeste 3 月 18 日
	Susan撰寫： Telling our stories is the best way to bring others to the Lord. No matter how embarrasing it seems or how unimportant we think it is, we still have to share. There is always someone out there who can relate to something we have been through. I for one want to thank you for being so honest and open and sharing with us all here in "bloggerville". I write just like I talk as well. It never seems to look as good on the screen as it sounds coming out my mouth. hehe. Anyway I'm hooked on your blog now, Thank you for sharing God's word. 3 月 1 日
	Greg撰寫： I am so thankful…In all the wonderful people I am meeting and what God is doing in peoples lives… It’s not me…It’s Him…To God Be ALL the Glory…I’m truly humbled. Grace, Peace, from Father God and Christ Jesus Our Saviour to one and all...Amen 2 月 6 日
	S.Stephanie撰寫： Did you ever in your life think that when you started blogging that you would touch so many people or make so many friends? You have, just by being the kind person you are, sharing your feelings, and your heart with us. We are all works in progress, that's what makes things interesting. I'm so glad you are here. BIG HUGSS, Steph 2 月 6 日
	JC撰寫： Hey You, Just a drive by , letting you know I did read all I have missed in the past few days...great stuff and the fact that so many are participating in this discussion is awesome. why does greg blog....welll, I know you came to get the word out, and indeed you are succeeding. You truly have established a wonderful ministry here....all good works. As for the reason of your blogiging, I for one, can think of a very personal reason I am glad you did....you have brought me thru a very tough time, first and foremost your testimony, your miracle healing...still blows my mind...and then by teaching me, supporting me and not judging me, : "We can do ALL things thru Christ who strengthens me"....I love those words and stood strong on them this past week. So for that I am glad you are blogging. But for knowing that you got thru what you did thru faith, well for that I know my faith has taken a turn to the best, yes, I always had faith, but miracles, well up until this, I was not sure...now I KNOW.. I am now past that time and looking forward to getting better all the time...yipee! PRAISE GOD ! And then, the fact that I have met such a wonderful man of GOD, who has a heart of gold, always an open ear and heart and willingness to give so much to others. You know I think the world of you, and I am sure He is pleased with your works. As for me, I am just pleased. I know God has perfect timing and your blog here is perfect timing for so many, not just me...I see that as I read the other comments. Our God is an Awesome God! You are an awesome example of one who not only talks the talk but walks the walk: there is a big difference, again as we spoke of earlier. I really like that in you...and I think that and (the other reason we shared) is why so many come back here to be fed spiritually....keep it cooking brother....so many are so hungry and thirsty...you are planting so many seeds. I pray each and every word is brought and heard by any that need exactly that at that exact moment, again, God has perfect timing, so if He is working thru you, and we know He is, then the timing of your blogging if perfect! Thanks for all you share here....you are appreciated....because although you are but a "work in progress" as you state, you are still a man, with free will...and you are open, and allowing GOD to use you at this time, to work thru you....blows my mind at times...and tugs my heart. Have a pleasant night and sweet dreams. IN HIS GRIP hugs to you JC 2 月 5 日
	Heather撰寫： I would love to check out your church..... where can I find it online?? I unfortunately did not make it this morning because of the little boys that stayed over night with my son. I had 5 boys ages 9-11 keeping me up until 1:30 this morning. Needless to say, I wil not be watching the end of the game tonight. I just got home from a superbowl party with some parents whose kids ride my bus. Actually one of them was one of the boys keeping me up all night! I think I got things working right in my space, so stop by and let me know if I did it right. Like I said before, I am a bit "technically challenged". :o) Hope you had a great weekend!! GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!! <>< Heather 2 月 5 日
