“SIMPLE!”
 I Thessalonians 1:6
“For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake.”

I confess that I am not a deep theologian who has profound knowledge of the writings of learned biblical scholars. I simply believe that the Lord has called me to take the truths that are written in the precious Word of God and study, think, and pray until they become real to me.  Then, and only then, I try to present them in a manner that is simple, real, and true to the Word. 
When I was in the USAF stationed in Missouri, I talked quite often with a dear pastor, Rev. Frank Meyers in Warrensburg, MO.  He shared that his first pastorate was in St. Joseph, MO near a large meat packing company.  One of the workers there was a member of his congregation.  This elderly meat packer had at best a third-grade education.  Each day he got off work at 3:00 p.m. and would head for the pastor's study.  Frank said that old man with a limited education taught him more about the true Word of God than all of his highly educated professors in college and seminary.  I want to be like that old unknown meat packer!
Just remember that it is the Lord taking this poor preacher’s ramblings to show you that God loves you, knows exactly what you feel, and has a plan for your good and His glory. I encourage you to read the book of I Thessalonians.  If you can, read it all the way through at one sitting.  It will bless you! 
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

    Great job on these devotions! Didn't realize you lived in MO. We are from MO and I went to college in Warrensburg, near Knobnoster. Any how, our family sure enjoys your talks. You are wonderful for Jesus! - the Herbic Family http://whpub.whitakerhouse.com/familyprayer/index.html

Thompson June 20, 2016 TO HEAR PASTOR CECIL READ THE DAILY E-VOTIONAL, CLICK ON THIS LINK: pastorcecilathompsondailye-votional.blogspot.com TO HEAR PASTOR CECIL READ THROUGH THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR, CLICK ON THIS LINK: pastorcecilthebibleinoneyear.blogspot.com “ENJOY YOUR SALVATION!” Psalm 51:12 “Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.” As a boy, I recall a woman in our church who loved to testify. It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
