As I recall...

It was as ..."Flime Ties" haha Time ...what a concept!  God created for us to lead an orderly existence here....It also causes me to recall the events of the past to learn from...I like to share the saying that "the Past is a place of reference...not of residence"...Amen? was in particularly remembering an early Christian Chefs conference in Canby Oregon the first year the Christian Culinary Academy started....we had a grand time! and I was blessed to meet for the first time Chefs Graham Kerr and Karl Guggenmos...Both brilliant in the  Love and expertise of Food...and passionate about teaching and being of effect in this world we live in...via the indwelling of the Lord Jesus within them...I post this video as when I thought about that message by Chef Guggenmos that evening in I believe it was 2013...He had spoken of 4 anchors ...for our spiritual lives...and if I could find my notes! haha...let it be known that His Word does not return void and Good News is always a treasure to hold...so I posted this....I do so again to share the Good News of obedient servants expressing their Love of Him through their Words... WE'll share more about Our beloved friend and Brother Graham Kerr later...


The Strength of an Anchored Life

“The lines of purpose in your lives never grow slack, tightly tied as they are to your future in heaven, kept taut by hope”(Colossians 1:5, The Message).

How well is your life anchored in this shifting, tilting world?
Anchored by Hope and a Future in Heaven...
We read in the Word about such anchorless-ness 

Ephesians 4:14 (AMP)

"So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit]."

Some are carried about by every wind, and tossed about by every wave. The changing tides affect their ups and downs, and their ins and outs. But there is a better way to live; a way that is much less flimsy and unstable. You and I can live an Anchored Life.

When we are tethered to Truth, and full of a hope that goes beyond this world into eternity, we can face whatever comes our way with unflinching resolve. Each day is filled with purpose and revitalizing energy. Such is the power of Hope.

 “Hope is the kindly instrument of God for rescuing mankind from inactivity and stagnation.” What a gift God has given us! There is nothing more empowering to the human soul than hope; and, conversely, nothing more destructive than hopelessness.

You and I were created by God for a purpose that fulfils us; but this purpose can only reach its full potential when we are anchored by Hope that stretches beyond this world. A man or woman with Heaven on their mind is not easily impressed or distracted with the things of this fallen world. They co-create and live with a purpose that never grows slack; and the engine of their lives burns with a fuel that is supplied from God Himself — a supply that never runs out.

May God fill you with hope! May you live Today in hope of a better Tomorrow. May you work, play, rest, and live in the unshakeable assurance that the Lord Jesus has graciously given your future in the Kingdom of Heaven, and even now extends the benefits of that inheritance into your world here on earth!

As you Rock and Roll...May you live the Anchored Life!  Anchored by Jesus in your heart....Jesus is the Rock...and we Roll!
