Whosoever Will - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Whosoever Will
“And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” Mark 8:34, KJV
The popular ad proclaimed on TV years ago by the USA Armed
Services, “looking for a few good men” brought the attention of many. These days, it would have to include women too, to avoid the wrath of some.
It was also a popular movie starring Tom Cruise and Demi Moore.
As the preacher declared on Sunday, “Some of the best men are women.” (And I am not speaking of transgender illusions.)

Jesus wasn’t one to mince words, and because of it, He lost
followers when He spoke directly to the hearts of men and women. He wouldn’t
have made it on the “politically correct” scene today, now would He? He would
have been considered too radical, intolerant of religious people, and one who
was just thinking too highly of Himself.
After all, He was proclaiming, rather publicly at times, that He
was God. Can you believe that?!
Read what He said to the crowd gathering, who did give Him the time of day, as they were a bit curious as to who He was, and what He was saying. “When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.” Mark 8:34-38, NKJV
To give you another sense of what Jesus (Yeshua) was clearly saying to the crowd surrounding Him, here is how The Message has this same passage of Scripture, “Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat; I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? What could you ever trade your soul for?
“If any of you are embarrassed over me and the way I’m leading you when you get around your fickle and unfocused friends, know that you’ll be an even greater embarrassment to the Son of Man when he arrives in all the splendor of God, his Father, with an army of the holy angels.” This doesn’t sound like one who was going after the populous vote, does it? When Jesus spoke truth, it certainly divided the crowd. Some got angry. Others just simply walked away. Many chose to go back to what they are doing, believing this wasn’t for them. Now that was an eternal mistake on their part. Here was Someone offering them life, but they instead kept on down the road to anything but that.
“Whosoever will”, the choice to take the first step, and then to keep following the rest of your life thereafter, is offered to all of mankind, but as the Bible also says, “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.” Matthew 7:13, NASB
This day, as in every day, we are called as believers to walk in the steps of our God, Who came to this planet to show us the way. It can be a hard walk. It can get very difficult. It is not a rose garden as some would have thought they were promised.
And it even gets more treacherous, especially if you are brave enough, courageous enough, to stand against the tide, to support the unborn, the sanctity of marriage, the nation of Israel…
Whoever will. Will you?
Now think on this and see what good things the Lord has in store
for you and those around you.

Greetings LoveMusic! listeners.
When one of our several drummers, Ray Gause (and the co-leader of the Antioch International Church's young adult group IMPACT) sang out for the first time, to my knowledge, the words, "I give myself away", all ears were immediately drawn to the sound. And what a sound it was!
With the gospel words proclaimed with authority and humility, Ray encouraged the people to indeed give ourselves away to the plans and purposes of our God. He alone is worthy.
Thank you, Ray, for sharing your great voice! And thank you, Toni Bogart, Worship Director (she is the one playing the keyboard, with vocals too) for letting us hear this gift the Lord has given Ray to share with us, and more beyond these walls.
Be blessed as you too listen, and hear the Lord's voice calling you. Give yourself to Him, our Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, afresh today.
Ahava and shalom,

LoveMusic! - Love You So Much - HILLSONG [Shout to the Lord 2000]
Love You So Much - Darlene Zschech
HILLSONG [Shout to the Lord 2000]
Aug. 11, 2019
Dear LoveMusic! listeners,
When Integrity Music started their worship cassettes in 1987, followed by CDs as times changed years later, the album of Shout To The Lord (released in 2000) went "viral" as they would have said, if such a thing was such a thing 20 years ago too.
With Darlene Zschech of Hillsongs literally leading the way, with songs written by the talented Reuben Morgan, churches around the world grew more in love with Jesus.
Oh, how we love You, Lord.
Once again lift your heart, lift your mind, lift your hands to the Living God of Israel, reigning from His heavenly throne, and very much alive and living on planet earth.
Yes, we love you, Lord, so much. We lift our hearts to You!
Ahava and shalom,
