Be A Daily Worshipper


Regi Stone is a singer/songwriter who shared a really great devotion at Music Atlanta on January 16.  He had 4 things to say about anyone who desires to be a worship leader:

1.  Choose to become a daily worshipper.  Worship is not something in a box you take down once a week, enjoy, offer to God and then put back on the shelf until the next week.  What if a man treated his relationship with his wife or kids like that?  How can we possibly have a real personal relationship with the God of our salvation on a once-a-week or emergency-only visitation basis?  It won’t happen.

2.  Follow thru #1  This may sound redundant, but how many know there is a difference between joining a fitness club and actually going to the gym and working out?  Once you make a choice to be a daily worshipper, the next step is to start doing it!

3.  Consume Scripture – We must hide God’s Word in our hearts.  Study it, memorize it, use it.  The Word is a sword and our weapon against Satan and his attacks.

4.  Write down “I am becoming a daily worshipper,” and put it somewhere where you will see it.  Visual reminders of who we are and what we should be doing are not a bad thing.  That’s why YHVH told the children of Israel to write His words on their gates and doorposts and bind them on their hands and keep them as “frontlets between their eyes”.  Let's keep our God before us in the highest place of prominence!

I have heard it said that it takes 20-30 days of repetition for something to become a habit.  Be diligent and disciplined.  You cannot take people where you have not been, so find a place where you can meet with God everyday.

Now go and worship God,

Dan

Persecution of the Church Begins By Teaching That All Church-Goers Are The Church

  I saw this article online and it naturally caught my attention.  It was written by Moises Mendez II who, according to his own profile is "a recent graduate from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. He is a freelance journalist based in New York City writing about everything from music to LGBTQ issues." What is your reaction to this statement? "Sunday morning after church is the worst type of customer... you won't change my mind."  My first thought was, "Well, that's one guy's opinion and he has a right to it, but he would have to already have a bias against Christians to make such a blanket conclusion about all people who go to church on Sundays."  Mr. Mendez is not the one pictured here, but he included in his article this video by a Tik-Tok-er named Saint_Hypnos as "exhibit A" for his post: If the video won't play, go to  Servers Say 'Sunday Morning After Church' Are the Worst Customers (dailydot.co

D.S. al Coda is Back!

After a three-year hiatus from writing this Blog, I have picked up D.S. al Coda once again.  I left off this blog site as I wrote a weekly column for the Lexington Chronicle since January of 2019.  I felt somewhat restricted from being able to write solely about the most important things in life to me--our Heavenly Father and the salvation we can have through Jesus Christ, His Son. I enjoyed the experience of writing for the paper and felt I should do so as my father, Rev. Bert Williams wrote articles for years for the Orangeburg T & D.  And I recently compiled and published a book called, "A Year of Sr. Living--52 articles form the Lexington Chronicle 2019-2021".  I would love for you to have a copy of this book.  It is on sale for $10 at this website: www.RestoringHisTruth.com . Postage is free and I will be happy to mail you a copy or simply sell it to you at Lexington Baptist Church. I enjoy writing.  I had a professor who said 3 words that I never forgot: “Be a write

Trusting God in a Highly Suspicious World

Image
Do you remember Alfred E. Newman?   He was Mad Magazine's poster child for the perennial adolescent who's motto for life was "What, me worry?"   The only thing wrong with Alfred was that the reason he never worried about anything was because he was in ignorant bliss.   He was his own boss as a cartoon, not answerable to anyone.   He was created with no obligations whatsoever, so what did he have to worry about?   The real challenge for anyone seeking to live a godly life in a world where Satan goes about seeking whom he may devour is to follow the Lord's instructions to die to self and live a life trusting God for everything. Our natural inclination is to not trust anyone but ourselves.   But that's why someone came up with the phrase, "If someone represents himself in court, he has a fool for a lawyer."   The Biblical equivalent of that is Proverbs 28:26, "He that trusts in his own heart is a fool: but whoever walks wisely, he shall be d
