					<description>His grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:10

So many Christians are afraid to show their swagger because they don&amp;rsquo;t want it to be mistaken for cockiness or conceit. As long as God gets the glory out of you, there is no need to try to downplay the great things that He is doing through you. The world will hate you regardless. The things that sound humble before God may sound the opposite before men. To say Thank God, I know I am saved and sanctified is in the sight of God the highest point of humility, it means you have so completely given yourself to God that you know He is true. Never trip on if what you say sounds humble before men or not, but always be humble before God, and let Him be God. God&amp;rsquo;s grace is the reason why I can have swagger. Don&amp;rsquo;t hate the creation&amp;hellip; The Creator did it. And everything that HE does is GOOD&amp;hellip;

					<title>Do you know anyone with an STD?</title>
					<link>http://ministerkaibrown.com/blogspace.cfm?feature=580681&amp;postid=40205</link>
					<description>HAVE YOU OR KNOWN ANYONE TO SUFFER FROM A STD?
SPIRITUALLY
TRANSMITTED
DISEASE

THE SYMPTONS ARE COMMON AND ARE TRANSMITTED THE SAME WAY OTHER ILLNESSES ARE FROM SOMEONE NOT KNOWING THEY ARE CARRYING THE DISEASE OR KNOWING BUT WILLINGLY SPREAD THE VIRUS WITHOUT A CARE FOR CONSEQUENCE. SOME VIRUS&apos; ARE SPREAD FROM PASTOR&apos;S THAT DON&apos;T RESEARCH WHAT THEY PREACH ABOUT AND GO OUT ON THE NOTION THAT THEIR PERSONAL POINT OF VIEWS ARE ALWAYS CORRECT AND CAN LEAD SOMEONE TO GOD. OTHERS CAN BE TRACED BACK TO THAT OVERLY RELIGIOUS PERSON YOU THINK ALWAYS HAS THE RIGHT ANSWER WHEN YOU DON&apos;T WANT TO WAIT ON GOD FOR HIS ANSWERS OR READ HIS WORD FOR CONFIRMATION. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THERE IS A CURE FOR ALL ILLNESS HIS NAME IS JESUS , BUT THE CURE FOR ALL SPIRITUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES ARE TO KNOW GOD PERSONALLY FOR YOURSELF SO THAT YOU CAN&apos;T BE DECEIVED, LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING WHEN FACED WITH LIFES DIFFICULTIES, STUDY TO SHOW YOURSELF APPROVED AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE GOD IN ALL THY WAYS AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATH. PRO 3:5-6 . THANKS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOU KNOW I LOVE YA MUCH. DALVIUS KING

					<link>http://ministerkaibrown.com/blogspace.cfm?feature=580681&amp;postid=36799</link>
					<description>As I look around it seems that everyone that I know that are called in ministry, is under some strain. Families, finances, health, church, relationships, and ministries seem to be getting hit and hit violently. Seems the larger the anointing, the bigger the bullseye.... What do yall think?&amp;nbsp; Any words of encouragement?</description>

					<title>Do We Display Prejudice in Our Church?</title>
					<link>http://ministerkaibrown.com/blogspace.cfm?feature=580681&amp;postid=36528</link>
					<description>
by Min. Annette Sanders



Title: Do We Display Prejudice in Our Church?

Acts 6:1b

&amp;hellip;the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.

Thoughts for Today:

As the church grows, so grow the problems. In New Testament times there were two classes of Jews, those who remained in Palestine and spoke Hebrew, and those who had lived outside Palestine, spoke the Greek language and observed Greek styles of dress and custom. These Greek Jews were looked down upon as not being &amp;quot;real Hebraic Jews.&amp;quot; As a result their widows were &amp;quot;being overlooked in the daily distribution of food&amp;quot; despite the communal nature of the church. (The new church was now providing for the widows -- this had previously been the responsibility of the temple.)

We sometimes are guilty of similar prejudices. How often do people or new ideas get rejected because they are different or challenge the way we are accustomed to doing things -- especially in worship. I have attended various churches around the country and I am always interested in the unique style each displays. While God has allowed great latitude in the way we choose to worship Him (how we do it is a lot less important than why we do it), it never ceases to amaze me about how &amp;quot;right&amp;quot; each church feels it is in the way it does &amp;quot;church&amp;quot; -- or worse, how &amp;quot;wrong&amp;quot; others are.

It is always a challenge to observe the instruction of Matthew 7:13-14 &amp;quot;enter through the narrow gate&amp;quot;; while being cautious of it&apos;s warning -- &amp;quot;spacious is the road that leads to destruction&amp;quot;; yet remain scripturally open-minded and welcoming.

Questions to Ponder: 

Are you guilty of rejecting other people because they don&apos;t fit your idea of what a real Christian should be? Do you need to rethink your prejudices? Does the way you think church &amp;quot;has&amp;quot; to be done need some flexibility? How so?

					<title>Potholes In My Lawn</title>
					<link>http://ministerkaibrown.com/blogspace.cfm?feature=580681&amp;postid=35317</link>
					<description>For those of you who know me, you know I&apos;m a kid from Jersey. Never had acres of my own till I was blessed with the place that I have now. The property that I have was old farmland. Cornfields to be exact. So after my house was built I was to take on the task of building up my lawn.&amp;nbsp; The first few years I could never get the yard to look flat and green. There was the drought of Kansas, and holes all in the lawn . I called em pot holes cause they just like the roads in Jersey, &amp;nbsp;just kept poppin up and getting bigger.&amp;nbsp; First I dealt with snake holes. They were everywhere. I&apos;d kill them off and do the sulfur thing and the next year they&apos;d be right back. Got rid of them and then came the moles. That was a task there but took a good bit to get rid of them and then the ground would just crack up and divide from another drought. But I just kept on and finally started to see a little progress at a time. Now my lawn is not prestine in the least but it is coming along. But I looked at the potholes like I look at ministry. It seems that I&apos;m always running into potholes.&amp;nbsp; First it was my past transgressions constantly coming back on me till God showed me that He created me anew. Then it was preachers claiming to love me but all along just wanting to pimp me and the gifts.&amp;nbsp; Then after I wisened up to that... Church folk...&amp;nbsp; Not wanting to do the real ministry which was fine but doing all they could to hinder me from being used. I have come to terms that I must just keep my hand on the plow and just keep on pushing cause the enemy isn&apos;t going to just quit. I&apos;ll always find a pothole here or&amp;nbsp;there.. No need to trip.&amp;nbsp; I&apos;m just going to handle filling in the potholes in my lawn and turning the soil with hopes of seeing fertile ground and good fruit.&amp;nbsp; What do you think?&amp;nbsp; Do you have any potholes?</description>

					<title>Where are we as the Church?</title>
					<link>http://ministerkaibrown.com/blogspace.cfm?feature=580681&amp;postid=34221</link>
					<description>The CD is entitled &amp;quot;Highways and Hedges&amp;quot; The scripture really had me focusing on ministering to not just those that I consider to be within my area of comfort but also to those that we don&apos;t normally associate with. Now before you theologians go at me and tell me from whence the text came from, I already know. But are we ministering to the masses? From the uttermost to the guttermost, some might say.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I ask you are we really going beyond the four walls to reach those that we have been commisssioned to reach.&amp;nbsp; The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. 
Luke 4:18... Saying that and looking at our present society, are we as the &amp;quot;Church&amp;quot; really reaching beyond the 4 walls and if you say no, then why not?&amp;nbsp; I am dying to hear the responses..... Let&apos;s talk about this thing.
