"I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, preached up, for the course of Christ."

                      " These are the writings of a man who is out of his mind."

                                                             If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God. 2 Corinthians 5:13

 

Always start a read with prayer and end with prayer. 

 HEAVENLY FATHER,

      Search us, O God, and know our heart, try us, and know our thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting. Have mercy upon us, O God, according to thy lovingkindness, according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out our transgressions. Wash us throughly from our iniquity, and cleanse us from our sin. Then opened our understanding, that we might understand the scriptures. May your word, O GOD, reproof us, correct us, and instruct us in righteousness. In the name of JESUS we pray this prayer. AMEN!

Special treasure

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Sunday, February 5, 2017, In : Preaching 
    The Bible speaks of treasures, of precious stones and of an incredibly beautiful jewel. And it speaks of other jewels as well, so precious and expensive that no amount of money could ever buy them, because they are spiritual in nature. They are more precious than the most valuable bounty of the earth.

Malachi wrote of such a spiritual treasure, “Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for t...

Have a glass of wine

Have a glass of wine

A wedding was being held in a village in Galilee. Jesus, his mother and his disciples were guest at the wedding banquet. As the banquet was nearing its end, Jesus's mother came to him and said," They’re just about out of wine.” Then she told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.”

 Jesus ordered the servants, “Fill the pots with water.” And they filled them to the brim. Now fill your pitchers and take them to the host,” Jesus said, and they did.

When the ...

Trust

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, April 8, 2016, In : Preaching 
Think of someone that you trust. How was it that you came to trust this person. Do you have a relationship with this person?

All of us have said that a person has to earn our trust. Right. Let's think about the things a person would have to do to earn our trust. Being honest, there are several things one would have to do to earn our trust. Truth is, looking at this from the outside in, there is a relationship being built. We are watching this person. We are learning things about this person. W...

Peace

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Thursday, March 10, 2016, In : Preaching 

  I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country. Leviticus 26:6

You may have heard or been told before that if you don't feel at Peace about doing something then don't do it. Don't take that next step unless you feel at Peace about doing it. Don't open and walk through that door unless you feel at Peace about doing it.

Do you think Noah felt at Peace about building ...

Become what you believe

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Wednesday, February 24, 2016, In : Preaching 
What you believe is what you become.

In my line of work, I come in contact with many different types of people. I remember this one time, I was showing this person a job that I needed them To do. I asked, do you think you can do this job for me? They answered, I don't Believe I can do that job. I said, Well, give it a try and lets just see how you do at it. I had another person come over and train them on how to do the job. The next day I went back and asked how they were doing and how the tra...

Difference Maker

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Wednesday, January 13, 2016, In : Preaching 
They arrived on the other side of the sea in the country of the Gerasenes. As Jesus got out of the boat, a madman from the cemetery came up to him. He asked,  “What business do you have, Jesus, Son of the High God, messing with me? Jesus asked him, “Tell me your name.” He replied, “My name is Mob. I’m a rioting mob.” Then he desperately begged Jesus not to banish them from the country.The demons begged him, “Send us to the pigs so we can live in them.” Jesus gave the order. Cr...

Difference Maker

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Tuesday, August 11, 2015, In : Preaching 
We should be concerned with making a difference in the lives of others. One of the great loses of the American dream is the connectivity of the people. We have become so individual and so self-centered that we rarely find time to involve ourselves in the lives of others.
I can remember when It was a very common thing for all the farmers to help each other in time of need. A time when people traded pears for apples. A time when people loaned others things without asking for something in return....

Doctor, Doctor

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, June 30, 2014, In : Preaching 
 Jesus - The great physician 

The word saved, is"sozo" in Greek, which also means to be delivered, healed, and made whole.  To be saved, is to be healed. To Believe in Jesus is to be saved and healed.  Matthew said , "That evening a lot of demon-afflicted people were brought to him. He relieved the inwardly tormented. He cured the bodily ill. He fulfilled Isaiah’s well-known sermon: He took our illnesses, He carried our diseases. Matt. 8:16. Isaiah 53:5 says,  "and by His stripes we ARE heal...

Get what is Right

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, November 4, 2013, In : Preaching 
Those who do what is right, Get what is right. To do what is right is really hard at times but in the end you will get what is right.

     Let's take a look at a man that was doing what was right and toward the end it looked as though he was getting what was wrong. Let's look at a man named Stephen. Turn with me in your bible or on your phone app to Acts chapter 6 please.

     Here we see that seven men were to be chosen by group of people. The first they chose was Stephen. A man full of faith ...

What will you choose?

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Thursday, October 10, 2013, In : Preaching 
What will you choose? 


    Have you ever been in a place to where you have seen money laying on the ground? Let's see how many people, by show of hands have ever found a penny, a dollar, a twenty or even a hundred dollar bill in a parking lot or just laying on the floor in a store. I see many hands being raised and a few that are not. Blessed are we and sorry for those not raising their hands. Now we can pay that traffic ticket we got yesterday or maybe that debt we owe or just maybe if that p...

Wrestling with

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Thursday, August 15, 2013, In : Preaching 
 Let's take a look at Genesis 25-33. 

     Here we see a man named Jacob. Who was this man called Jacob? 
 His name tells the story. Rebekah was pregnant with twins and even in the womb they were struggling against each other. She inquired of the Lord and he told her: “’Two nations are in your womb; and two peoples shall be separated from your body; and one people shall be stronger than the other; and the older shall serve the younger.’” (Genesis 25:23)  Esau was born first but “after...

Questions

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Saturday, June 1, 2013, In : Preaching 
Let me ask you this question.
What happens when we get comfortable?
We tend to not focus on the things that we need to focus on.
We tend to be relaxed with everything going on around us.
We tend to fall asleep and miss out on so much.

Let me ask you this question.
What happens when we get uncomfortable?
We tend to feel that one's focus is on us.
We tend to be attentive, alert and ready for anything.
We tend to be focused on the one's that are focused on us.

The reason we should be putting ourselves in ...

What is sin to one

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Monday, May 6, 2013, In : Preaching 
What is sin to one person may not be sin to another. Scripture tell's us what things are of the flesh in Galatians 5:19-21. There is also the Ten Commandments and we are told in Ephesians 4:29 - Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, and Colossians 3:8 - But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Some people have had the holy spirit move within them and convict them of these things and t...

Do you know

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Friday, April 12, 2013, In : Preaching 
Do you know a person that when you need someone to talk to, they will be there to listen to you?
Do you know a person that when you call on them, they will drop what they are doing and come to you?
Do you know a person that when you ask them to take a walk with you, they will come and walk with you?

    So many people in the world are looking for just this person. It all starts with the first friend one makes as a child. For some it may be a brother or sister. For some it may be a mom or dad. Fo...

Genesis 6:5

Posted by Donnie Crawford on Tuesday, April 2, 2013, In : Preaching 
Today I am going to start with a verse in Genesis.

Genesis 6:5
   The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 

Now bare with me for a minute here, for a point is going to be made and you don't want to miss this.

    God knew that man's wickedness had become internalized. That very thought made God sorry He had made man and His own heart was grieved. Then the Lord declared...

  HEAVENLY FATHER,

          We praise you, God, we praise you, for your Name is near, People tell of your wonderful deeds. May we rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, for this is your will for us in Christ Jesus. May we Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation, and share what we have learned this day. In the name of JESUS we pray this prayer. And all the LORD'S people said, AMEN and AMEN!


 When I stand before GOD at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, " I used everything you gave me."

    I am a GOD fearing man. I am an Owner of NewSpring Church in South Carolina. I am a believer that GOD loves us and has given us part of HIMSELF to live within this body of flesh that we have. I know for a fact that I am just passing through this world and that I will someday return to my creator(GOD). Gal. 2:20 is my life verse. I hope and pray that you have found yours. AMEN!


 
 
My prayer is that your love for each other may increase more and more and never stop improving your knowledge and deepening your perception so that you can always recognize what is best.
