Dear KKIM/KARS Family,
How are you today?
Ready for a cup of Coffee and study?
PRAISE NOTE: We have been praying for Gary Cox and his family in their move to the Duke City,,,all is well they slept in their new home here in Albuquerque Saturday night! PRAISE GOD!
Sharon and I pray more do this today……..do not rely on your own wisdom and understanding.
Let us seek God’s Wisdom today…not ours, but Gods!
Before you do anything today..seek the Lord…….pray……..seek HIS Wisdom before doing anything!
When you have a close personal relationship with the Lord..you will hear the Lord..He will send the messenger, the Holy Spirit to you…..to guide you through your days!
The beauty of a personal relationship with our Lord! AMEN AMEN!
We must be Honest people……..pure people in our Lord!
We need to really start with that! If we are not honest, we are frauds.
We must be honest with our God, Family, Bosses, Co-workers…etc…….HONESTY!!!
Think and chew on this………..
Every Decision
God makes for your life
is a wise Decision because God is WISDOM!
Now to God’s Word……..
Where is the philosopher? Where is the scholar? Where is the debater of this age?
Hasn’t God made the world’s wisdom foolish?
For since, in God’s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached.
For the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Gentiles.
Yet to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is God’s power and God’s wisdom, because God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength.
1 Cor 1: 20-25
After yesterdays posting on this Shona Neff sent this in……..I am always Amazed at God’s timing….it seems 99% of the time on NM News and Views after Pastor Mark and I get done with the news of the day Pastor Leonard’s Bible Boost always ties right in!!! Shona did the same after my message yesterday…….
Just read your cup…good one. Funny, you should talk about honesty. I just posted a new blog that encourages Christians to be honest about our own motives. Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out.
Awesome Shona……here is the Question from Shona’s posting….are we always honest about our Motives?
Be happy in the moment, that’s enough. Each moment is all we need, not more. -Mother Teresa
In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him-C.S. Lewis
As most of you know, I love History…..We can learn from History, but only if we read it and then apply it. One of my most favorite Presidents was Harry Truman(ask the Public School student today who Harry Truman was..or even people in there 20’s and 30’s…..sadly many don’t know of Truman and many of our American Presidents.In my day’s you had to know every President and what state he came from!!!! Spending more money on Public Schools is not the answer, brining God Back in to our Schools and change what we are teaching is!!!)), I guess because of his humble beginnings, his guts in firing Gen. Douglas MacArthur is why I admire Truman, also his love for his Mother, His wife and daughter…..His sayings he had in his office, The Buck stops here….If you can’t stand the Heat in the Kitchen get out!President Truman made the decision to drop the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. he also made the decision to recognize the State of Israel, bucking many in his own Administration….] At a meeting in the White House on November 10, 1945, he told envoys to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt: “I am sorry, gentlemen, but I have to answer to hundreds of thousands who are anxious for the success of Zionism: I do not have hundreds of thousands of Arabs among my constituents.”[ ……..When Truman left the White House and Ike Eisenhower moved in, Truman did not have any money……
Once Truman left the White House, his only income was his old army pension: $112.56 per month.[207] Former members of Congress and the federal courts received a federal retirement package; President Truman himself ensured that former servants of the executive branch of government received similar support. In 1953, however, there was no such benefit package for former presidents.[208]

Truman (seated right) and his wife Bess (behind him) attend the signing of the Medicare Bill on July 30, 1965, by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
He took out a personal loan from a Missouri bank shortly after leaving office, and then set about establishing another precedent for future former chief executives: a book deal for his memoirs of his time in office. Ulysses S. Grant had overcome similar financial issues with his own memoirs, but the book had been published posthumously, and he had declined to write about life in the White House in any detail. For the memoirs Truman received only a flat payment of $670,000, and had to pay two-thirds of that in tax; he calculated he got $37,000 after he paid his assistants.[209]
Truman’s memoirs were a commercial and critical success;[210][211] they were published in two volumes in 1955 and 1956 by Doubleday (Garden City, N.Y) and Hodder & Stoughton (London): Memoirs by Harry S. Truman: Year of Decisions and Memoirs by Harry S. Truman: Years of Trial and Hope.
Truman was quoted in 1957 as saying to then-House Majority Leader John McCormack, “Had it not been for the fact that I was able to sell some property that my brother, sister, and I inherited from our mother, I would practically be on relief, but with the sale of that property I am not financially embarrassed.”[212]
In 1958, Congress passed the Former Presidents Act, offering a $25,000 yearly pension to each former president, and it is likely that Truman’s financial status played a role in the law’s enactment.[208] The one other living former president at the time, Herbert Hoover, also took the pension, even though he did not need the money; reportedly, he did so to avoid embarrassing Truman.[213] Hoover may have been remembering an old favor: Shortly after becoming President, Truman had invited Hoover to the White House for an informal chat about conditions in Europe. This was Hoover’s first visit to the White House since leaving office, as the Roosevelt administration had shunned Hoover. The two remained good friends for the remainder of their lives.[214]
I am also studying the Cuban Missile Crises at this time. I am learning much…..The Lord is showing much through this study.
Our Great Country has been through much, A Civil War, WWI WWII….much happened in the Truman and Kennedy Administration that would really freak out this nation now.
What would happen now if the President ordered dropping nuclear Bombs on a country like Iran?
With our society here in 2010 how would have people reacted with Truman’s acknowledgement of Israel?
You look at how North Korea, Iran, Syria, and now maybe Venezuela with the help of the Russians, going nuclear and all the outcry from the White House from Clinton, to Bush, to Obama and the UN and all it’s worthless sanctions…….What about a Naval Blockade of Iran? Yep, nobody has the guts.
The other thing History will teach you is that There is good Democrats and Republicans. That is why I am a registered Independent and after this election Sharon is doing the same.
One final thing, I mentioned yesterday after my message at the Valley View Christian Church men’s Breakfast a man came up to me and said, “You sound like one of us Tea Party Folks, we need to hold those folks that got elected, accountable now.”
Well, I agree that we sure do need to hold these folks accountable, but I am not a Tea Party person I belong to God’s Party!!! I will always vote for the Man or Women that the Lord show’s me to vote for.
Politicians, Elected Officials, Tea party Folks, Democrats, Republicans, all of us!!!, must know that God sees all…….that God sees what we do in our Politics and Government…..there is no hiding from God!
My heart has been broken to many times by Politicians who I thought were good Christian people, who were my friend…..many love the Power, Ego, Money, few serve for the right reasons.
This is why the Lord has me speaking on Honesty, Godly Wisdom……..and HE knows all,,,,,,
Please be in prayer for our radio event with Tom and Robert Lewis of Cross International and Orphans in Mozambique. You can give right now by going to www.mykkim.com Our radio-a-thon is this Wed and a half day on Thursday. These Orphans in Mozambique need our help! AMEN!
Let us pray………
Oh Lord, we pray for our Public Officials Lord, we pray that they seek YOU first before anything else, we pray that they seek a personal relationship with YOU. In the name of JESUS, AMEN!
In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and Family
