When we moved to North Carolina, (USA), in 1985, I was amazed at all the buildings that were sitting empty and falling apart. I thought I should do a coffee table book, and have a huge NC on the cover but instead of North Carolina, it would stand for Neglected Caroline.
I bought a Tab 3 last year. Suddenly I had a camera with me and started shooting. I also was able to start writing. (Spell check ). So a blog was born.

What is my brand? Help folks, this is who I am. Is my site? Easy to read, pleasent to look at, informative?
Neglected Caroline, homes, things, once loved, left to fall apart.
theunfetteredpreacher.files.wordpress.com :
The Church, Gods people, love for God gone cold, rituals, the form of Godliness, denied the Power, left to fall away.
The State of the Church. ..
The Fix-it Shop-FillingStation :
The place of Revelation and Rebellion against Church Doctrine that inhibits the Holy Spirit of our Lord.
My hope is the Lord will spark a revival in His people. That signs and wonders, miracles will be done, people healed, set free, Jesus Christ lifted up, Glorified.
Any ideas to make it better?, Friendlier, more inviting?
Thanks for your input.

I have enrolled in blogging 201, to focus what I hope to accomplish with “theunfetteredpreacher.com “. A friend recommended I start a blog after looking at the rough draft of a book. (THE TRINITY IN THE OLD TESTAMENT – page at “theunfetteredpreacher.com).
I foolishly thought at the time anyone reading it would catch the Revelation; and I would be back on the road, teaching and preaching…. lol….
Proverbs 17:21
King James Version (KJV)
“He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy.”
My poor father could not of had any joy during my teenage years. There was never a bigger fool then me, before Christ. Sex, Booze, Drugs, Rock and Roll.
I had absolutely no respect for authority,

“the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.”
This is in the time of Samuel, a young boy, dedicated to the Lords service by his praying mother. He was taught the ways of the Lord by the High Priest Eli.
Like many people in the Bible, Eli, just appears in his office, there is no record of how this man, a Levite, a priest attained the office of high priest.
He wasn’t particularly Spiritual, he thought Hannah, the mother of Samuel was drunk, as she was struggling with the Lord, praying for a son.
He allowed his two sons to mock the priesthood, taking the best for themselves, rather than dedicating it to the Lord.
In this atmosphere we find Samuel.
” Samuel did not yet know the Lord, neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him.”
He was preforming the duties of a true priest of God.
Humble, obedient, reliable, teachable and we find the Lord, revealing Himself.
” Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. ”
The Lord can bring life, to the dead.
When we begin to humbly, obediently, reliably, serve the Lord, with an open heart, mind and spirit, He will speak, guide, direct our paths.
He will make our paths straight.
I believe the Lord has always had a remnant, a people who have loved Him, even in the times, like today, when it seems He is far away, quiet, even silent, leaving us to mock His way, ignore His principles, precepts, laws.
In every Denomination, there are those who want to bring God up to date, enlighten Him to todays standards of wisdom and understanding.
Unfortunately many in His Church agree.
They tickle the ears,
“Your OK, God will forgive, He will reward you in your bad behavior.”
They do not understand the concept of repentance, turning from our wickedness to righteousness.
Don’t expect to hear the Lords voice when you are not living a righteous, holy life. “Be ye holy as He is holy.”
The Lord can and will forgive the worst of offenses, when we turn to Him.
Acknowledge His Majesty, Worship Him in Spirit and Truth, Walk in the light, power and the love of the Lord.
” all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.”
In obedience to the Lord, the Lord will lift you higher:
” That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the Lord hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.”
Lord, help us to Walk in You. Tô love and obey. ” the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.” Lord, help us to hear, to see and understand Your calling on our lives.

they became fools,
Is it hate to disagree with and protest the direction and moral decline of our country. No; but the left will claim we are hate filled because we agree with the Word of God.
It is foolish to think this country can continue to be blessed by God when we accept sin as normal.
As a Christian, I call for all who love God, to stand fast, act like a man and stand against a government that doesn’t act in the best interest of her people.
Pray for Godly leaders, who are not afraid to stand for the truth. Who will fight for that we hold dear.
” Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
We have fools in places of power. ….God save us.

Are you the church you should be?
To the unbelieving, The Church is the building the hypocrites go to every week to show the rest of us how holy they are.
To some believers, The Church is where they go to hear the Preacher tell them what God wants them to know this week. Or the place you bring people who need salvation, healing or prayer. Or even the place where you praise or worship God.
The Church can and should be all these things but are you?
The Church isn’t the buildings believers meet in. The Church is the believer. We are the ones, the seekers should come to, to be led to the Lord. To be healed by, comforted by, discover the Love and Grace of the Lord.
They don’t recognize theLord in our lives, so why would they expect to find Him.
Some think of The Church as a hospital for the sick…

Such truth
Gratitude day 2 – I’m grateful today for time.
When our daughter was a little girl, I asked her what she would like to be when she grew up. She thought for a while and said, very sure of herself, “Retired.”
We all laughed at that, but it’s not surprising that she said that. She had been spending lots of time with my parents, her grandparents, and they were all having such a good time together. They cooked, coloured-in, sewed, fed the cattle, walked around the farm, and read books together. Going to work was not necessary, and Grandma and Granddad were happy, their time their own. They weren’t rich, but they had enough, and knew how to live well with a small income from their pension. They even saved money at the same time.
I think what she understood, even at that young age, was was time is precious…

Well worth a read….
My mind engaged in Buddism, clearing all the chaos. I released myself of riches and the hamster wheel of comfort. When suffering plagued my days, I sought to release their power. There was no purpose in their pains. But they stalked me, humoring in their disturbance, and I wasted away my life seeking relief from my fleeting days. My days of calm were no peaceful offering for the meaning of my passing life.
I seek Allah, days full of ritual prayer. His commands tell me to be good, to follow his decrees. But when the hammer of judgement falls, I find that I fail so miserably. I can not live up to his scale. Fear is all I know.
I live for this world, pursuing pleasures. One after another, I drink in their delight. When this one fades, so very quickly, I seek the next craving, surely it will fill…

The Truth of the Matter is, people no longer accept truth. The Word is Truth. How many do you know who don’t accept Jesus as Lord and Savior? They say; “That’s your truth, Not My Truth.”
“Don’t you force your truth on me, the sky is not blue, grass isn’t green, up is down and wrong is right.”
It is hard to convince people of the Truth of the Gospel, without the Power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish His will.
Too often we accept the Gifts of the Spirit of Teaching and Ministering, because they are easy, we just share what we have learned from the Bible and other books.
It is quite easy to impress low information Christians. They have accepted the Truth of the Gospel, they are hungry for Righteousness, they have experienced some of its Cleansing Power, the Blood of Jesus covers a multitude of sin.
They understand the Freedom the Truth imparts.
How do we reach the unbelieving?
That is our real calling. The man that was called Legion, was sent to tell all, what He knew. All He knew was the Power of the Lord to make him clean, free and Righteous in Gods eyes.
No theological degree, no license to marry and bury, just Revelation Knowledge.
Accept the Bible as Truth, ask Jesus to Reveal to you the Power and Love of the Holy Spirit. Ask him to make you a vessel He can use.
READ THE WORD, ASK, SEEK, KNOCK.
The Lord will give you the Gifts of the Spirit that you will use for His Glory.
I firmly believe, we do not see a lot of Signs and wonders, miracles following; because we cannot be relied upon to Give Him the Glory.
That is the problem in my heart and I wonder about all who Love and believe, do you think the Lord had an experation date on the Gifts or have we just left them on the shelve because our word is so powerful.
We haven’t really entered the Holy of Holies, haven’t really Submitted ourselves to God, Humbled ourselves, so we might be lifted up, used in a mighty way, becoming the Hands of the Lord, to heal the sick, lame, brokenhearted, those blind to the truth deaf to the Wisdom of God.
Saints, we must push into the Higher Calling, the World needs the Truth of God.
Lord, help us to share Your Truth, by the Power and Leading of Your Holy Spirit. Please help us to become useful vessels of Your Love.

Seeing this today, I just have to thank the real heroes, men and women who are willing to give all for their Country.
Living in NC, We have a lot of Marines and that makes us so proud. They aren’t alone.
We love and cherish all who serve. Army, Airforce, Navy, Marines and of course the Coast Guard.
I believe for the most part you would find a large contingent of people who also stand with and for our Police and Firefighters.
Thank all of you for your service.
If only we could be as proud of our Politicians……
