Preacher’s Nugget: if You Love Jesus

___________________________________________________________________


Have you ever received or forwarded one of those emails where, when you scroll down to the bottom, you find these words, “If you love Jesus please forward to 10 people. He did something for you so the least you could do is do something for Him,”? If you have, like me, you’ve probably wondered, “So, if I don’t forward this email, does it mean I don’t love Him or that I don’t want to do anything for Him?”

John, also known as the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 13:23; 21:20), wrote in John 3:18 that we should “…not love in word or tongue, but in deed and truth.” Would Jesus see our act of sending these religious forwards as a display of our love in deed and truth or does He expect something else?

In the book of John, chapter 14, verse 15 (Amplified Bible), it reads, “If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever.” Reading this, a couple things jump out at me: The first thing I see is Jesus equates true love with obedience; not just for obedience’s sake but to the obedience of God’s commands. If we follow John’s example of love being displayed in deed and truth, then the only way I believe you can show true love to Jesus is by being obedient to the Word of God. The second thing I see is that we, as Christians, have access to a Comforter and Helper who will remain with us forever and assist us in showing that love by being obedient. The word of God says “…the Holy Spirit will teach us all things and recall to us everything that Jesus has said and will guide us into all truth.” (John 14:26; 16:13). This leads me to think we cannot fully operate in the kind of love Jesus requires unless we are obedient and unless the Holy Spirit dwells within us.

Now, let’s put some closure to this issue by concluding that as a result of our obeying God’s word and following the teachings of Jesus, the Father will love us, and they (the Father and the Son) will also come and not only make a home with, but also have a constant and intimate fellowship with us. Jesus goes on to say the words we hear or are being made aware of when we are in church, in our own study, or at any time we come in contact with God’s word, does not come from Jesus, it comes from the Father who sent Jesus.

Think about it, how much do the words “I love you” mean to you in any relationship when there aren’t any corresponding actions reinforcing what the person just said? Ultimately, I believe the act of sending or forwarding these types of “If You Love Jesus” emails are perfectly fine because they encourage, bring joy and almost always raise our awareness to how much we really need Jesus Christ in our lives. However, the best way to let the Holy Spirit, the Father and the Son, know we love them with absolute certainty is to let the actions and the deeds in our lives serve as a reflection of God’s Word.

Great Tips on Gold Nugget Jewelry

One thing is for sure and that is that there is just something about the natural beauty of gold nugget jewelry that has a way of catching peoples eye and drawing attention. A great looking gold nugget on the end of a chain will be inspected over and over again every time that it is worn to a party and everyone will want to know where it was found. What river? What state? When? It seems that there is a story in every gold nugget that needs to come out.

The first rule of gold nuggets is that nuggets that are jewelry size and that means beyond the size of a pea are worth more by weight then actual pure 24 carat gold. How much more? Well that depends on the size and shape of them. It also depends on whether you have bought the nuggets individually and have them mounted or buy them already on a piece of finished jewelry.

Gold nuggets that are embedded in quarts crystal are particularly beautiful and costly. How costly? That depends on where you buy them and who from. Gold that is naturaly embeded in pink quarts is particularlñy prized and is the most expensive of all. Of course the cheapest person to buy gold nuggets from is from a gold miner but you will have real trouble finding one in the city you live in. However; there are jewelers that specialize in gold nuggets.

Kobe Knocks Back Nuggets in Game 1

October 14th, 2009 | Posted in Basketball   Comments Off
Cindy Ferguson asked:


do think LeBron [James] has surpassed Kobe as a player.”

Never have words been less prophetic, particularly from the lips of Mr. Clutch himself, Kobe Bryant’s mentor and adopted basketball father, Jerry West. Amidst a frenzy of speculation pitting the Cavs’ LeBron James against the Lakers’ Bryant, Kobe managed a stunner for friends and foes alike, giving an all-out performance against the Nuggets in game 1 that brought the Lakers a narrow 105-103 victory.

The series opened Tuesday night, with the Lakers entering against the Nuggets after an unimpressive series against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets were able to grab the lead in the first half, but by the fourth quarter, Kobe seized the game. He finished having made 40 points, with 18 in the last quarter, and sank in six free throws in the last 30 seconds.

“Once I sensed we didn’t have the energy,” Bryant explained, “I had to take it upon myself to lead by example.”

Lead by example he did. The Nuggets had managed a 13 point lead in the first quarter, with Carmelo Anthony scoring 20 points in his first 20 minutes of play time. Anthony made 39 points in the game, and Chancey Billups added 18, making seemingly impossible 3 pointers. The Lakers, on the other hand, seemed frozen. By the fourth quarter, LA was struggling against a seven point deficit with seven minutes remaining. Pau Gasol tossed two free throws that tied the game at 99. Then Kobe sprang into action.

Bryant started at the line, driving for a layup that closed the gap to five points, made two free throws, and hit a fadeaway jumper. He interrupted Billups’ smooth 3 pointers and a free throw by J.R. Smith. In the last seven minutes, he scored 15 points and added 3 more when he passed to Derek Fisher in the right corner. In short, Bryant gave the performance that Lakers fans had come to expect from him, classic Kobe: clutch shooting, hard closing, and a winning mentality that barreled in on the Nuggets like a train.

He even popped an injured finger, which had to be forced back into place.

Coincidence? Perhaps – if it is a coincidence that back in 2003, in a game against the all time star Michael Jordan, Bryant had a season-high 55 points. Perhaps it is also a coincidence that West – the man who traded for Bryant back when teenagers were considered risky, who offered support as Bryant bickered with Shaquille O’Neal – betrayed his young protégé on the eve of a key playoff series, in the wake of Bryant’s loss of the MVP to LeBron James.

Whether intentional or not, West appears to have incited Bryant into a fury that left fans breathless at the edges of their seats.

“Tonight we had very little else going for us,” Lakers coach Phil Jackson said, “and [Bryant] muscled his way through that game.”

Bryant has claimed that he is unconcerned about the debate over best player. “It hasn’t been, ‘Can you stay on top as the best individual basketball player,’” Bryant said. “That’s not something that has driven me. It’s about winning another championship.”

Game 2 is on Thursday.

The Prostate Gland; A Hidden Treasure, A Golden Nugget

October 12th, 2009 | Posted in Sexuality   Comments Off
Leila Gabrielle asked:


For many men their only experience with their own prostate has been the exam. In truth, the discovery of this hidden golden nugget often referred to as the Male G-Spot, is highly rewarding and stimulating once a man can get over his hang-up of being touched in that area.

For centuries the elusive female ****** has made its way into our *** lives. For most couples, the man has always put attention on the woman’s erogenous zone, hoping to strike gold at some point. Of course this makes most partners weak in the knees, if the infamous spot is found. As a result, the woman is pleased until ****** and wants to return the favor but Unless the man is willing to charter unknown territory, the prostate area is usually off limits.

For most men, the prostate gland, also known as the male’s G-spot, is often a touchy subject. For many men, even touching near the **** may make them question their sexual orientation. **** *** is neither a *** nor straight activity, it is a stimulating sexual activity that can be enjoyed by all. Many men find the idea of it scary or even repulsive. However, we also hear from men that had their prostate stimulated for the first time and many report that they experienced an intensified ****** like never before. Once it is tried, chances are the man will look forward with great anticipation to the next visit. Best of all a stimulated prostate is a healthier prostate.

For women who do not know where the ****** is located, the prostate gland is a small gland located between the ********* and the ****. It is actually within the perineum, which means that when you rub this gland, it will make men moan with excitement. When inserting a finger or a *** toy into the anus, this gland can be stimulated until ****** is reached. Although ****** can be reached in dozens of different ways, this kind of stimulation is much more intense and overwhelming.

If you build up the courage to try this, or your partner is willing to dive right in, be sure to use an ample amount of lubricant. For long nails, cleanliness, or if you are not in a monogamous relationship, or there is any question as to STDs or HIV a glove or condom should first be placed over the fingers. The prostate is about two inches upward and forward. If the man is a little squeamish the finger does not have to be fully inserted. The area around the opening of the **** is full of nerve endings and provides stimulating sensation on its own. Although the sensation may feel strange, it will become more intense as your partner starts to feel around.

In order to increase your desire and anticipation, your partner should very slowly insert their finger or toy allowing the sphincter muscle to relax. This will not only avoid discomfort, it will also allow you to enjoy the moment. Once that golden nugget ****** is located, you will be shocked to realize what you have been missing out on all of these years! It is often an incredible feeling, far more intense than any other sexual position.

If you are still wary of even asking your partner to act so kinky, you can have them just rub the outside of your ****. Even by touching it lightly, your nerve endings are still stimulated. For men, their ******** and the overall region are extremely sensitive, and stimulation can result in amazing convulsions that could last for minutes.

Regardless of how embarrassed or nervous you are, it is actually exciting to go outside of the box and try something new. Far too often men are too worried about being laughed at to try something so ***** and taboo in today’s society. However, if you have an open-minded partner and stop caring about other people’s perceptions, you can easily enjoy many different kinds and sides of ***.
