September News from Marty Delmon

C. S. Lewis said, “The Son of God became the Son of Man so that sons of men may become sons of God.” How does that happen? The Son of God came to earth as a human baby, laying aside His divinity to live the life of a normal man. He taught God’s truths for three years and demonstrated God’s power available to human beings. Then He willingly suffered an excruciating death. Every human being that lived or ever will live has been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Savior of mankind. However, that salvation, though paid for, can only be received through the new birth.


Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3.

At the moment you surrender to Jesus Christ and accept His magnanimous gift of salvation, the Holy Spirit gives you a new spirit and calls this transaction the new birth. You are born into the family of God; you are now His son. When that new spirit arrives in the depths of you, the Holy Spirit of God comes to live in your new spirit bringing with Him the Kingdom of God, which He establishes there. He also brings God’s gift to you, which is God’s Grace. Grace is everything God has and everything God is. The Holy Spirit teaches you how to live in God’s Kingdom and how to receive and use God’s Grace.

"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…." Acts 1:8.

To be baptized in the Holy Spirit means for the Holy Spirit to come upon you with power. You already have the Holy Spirit living inside you and now, with this baptism, you are living inside the Holy Spirit. The word baptism means to submerge and spiritual baptism submerges you in the Holy Spirit. You may ask, What difference can this make? All the difference in the world! The first notable difference is the ability to speak in tongues.

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:2.

The only one who understands us when we speak in tongues is God! We don’t even understand tongues. We have to ask the Holy Spirit to interpret our spiritual language for us! That interpretation may come in words or in visions or just a knowing on the inside. Talking to God directly brings revelation, wisdom, understanding of what to do or say, and it brings comfort.

The second notable difference is the power to perform miracles like Jesus did. I put this quality in second place because communion with God must always come first. Jesus said we would do greater works than He did.

Experience a new spiritual birth, receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, grow up into a spiritual man, and follow God into your destiny of being the very image of Jesus Christ Himself and accomplishing the will of God for your life. That’s the only reason why we are on this earth! This physical life is our training ground for eternity.

There is so much more to come after death! Only those who surrender to the Love and Sacrifice of Jesus Christ will live for eternity with God. So now, while you have the chance, ask questions of the Holy Spirit and He will show you answers in the Word of God and in your spirit.

A Chinese proverb says, “He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.” Ask now while you’re on the training ground. Ask Jesus about this new birth. Ask about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Let God Himself answer your questions. He’s waiting.

Win $50... take the challenge... if you dare

Testing Word Sleuth Skills!
(Print it out and try your proofreading skills)

So you think you're a good proofreader... take the challenge...  This idea was included in a magazine about 40 years ago and has recently been re-created by an editor.
There are twenty-one errors in this text.

Before reading any farther, be forwarned that most are the tricky but common mistakes that may sneak in irregardless of any electronic spell-scan.

Pretty easy to find, you should be able to spot the things that need to be corrected. Everyone of your fellow writers will complement you if you find them all! The details for which you are looking are unevenly divided between: grammar, spelling, punctuation and factual flubbs. Your English teacher may have continuously discussed these ideas; the challenge, therefor, is to remember those lessons!

Think about it! What would be the affect on your writing if you get even better at finding these errors. If your project is worth doing, it is worth doing good, and some times it takes many journeys through the text to accomplish that. Anytime spent fixing a violated word principal will improve the quality of the work and it’s message.

None of us are perfect at this task! Still, work to hone your skills …then also consider adding a good word sleuth to your team!

For anyone who finds all the errors, I'll offer a $50 discount off your next writing project.

Our First Novel...

BURIED LIES. They live in almost every heart. Usually planted deep during early childhood, these lies can play havoc on into adult years. Sometimes they are quite sinister and produce total chaos, and sometimes they become so ingrained they are not even recognized for what they are, lies.

However, God wants clean hearts. He does not want His children to nurture lies about His precious creation, but rather to live full and abundant lives. To achieve that He wants to pull out lies by the roots so He can replace them with His Truth.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32

Ebook is available through Smashwords, downloadable on almost every device. Follow the link: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/58874

Request for Poetic Writers

Recently, I've put together a weekly planner, and while speaking to a new friend, I got an idea to include poetry in this planner, specifically with God speaking to the reader.  My 2011 Weekly Planner (138 pages) is now available for viewing, and for prepaid orders of $12.00 plus shipping.

The details of the planner: 5.5 x 8.5, papercover, spiral bind, creme paper. Complete with scriptures and place for personal reflection and prayer.

If you can write poetry, using God's voice to encourage his children, I would like to hear from you.  If you've already written this type of poetry and would like to see it in print, send your submission to me via email.  I am interested in hearing from anyone interested in being a contributor.

My idea is to make a planner for 2012 with poetry from different writers/contributors.  All names would be included with the poem, and if space allows, a brief bio, or website for other books by the poet/author could be included.

I don't have all the details yet, but would love to hear from those who have a special writing gift and are interested in getting their name and reputation in printed form.

God bless you and your family this Christmas season!

Life can sometimes get in the way

Hello everyone!

An update of where I've been--pulled away by unforeseen incidents with my living and working environments.  A safety and security issue has surrounded me for more than a month, and I've reached a conclusion that I was hoping would not be the answer.  I have to relocate, but first, find the new place through perseverance and prayer.

I will keep you posted as time allows. If you have any leads on a new place or location, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Be blessed this day and every day!

The last of Jerry Jenkins' writing tips

16) Avoid "on the nose" writing or telling something that exactly mirrors life. Don't describe too much; get to the story.

17) Resist the urge to explain

18) Avoid mannerisms of attribution

19) Give specifics to give a ring of truth

20) Avoid similar character names, including the first letter

The last one -- Avoid mannerisms of punctuation such as italics for titles and varying type sizes.

Remember, these are Jerry thoughts for fiction writing.  They've only been shared for use as guidelines.  If you're like me, I oftentimes don't follow rules...so, have fun writing!

Enjoy your holiday weekend... see you next week!

Connie Arnold on Tour Monday, August 2, 2010

Connie Arnold went blog-hopping to find my company. As a busy woman of God with many talents, I appreciate her taking the time to share her heart and inspiration behind her latest poetry book, Abundant Comfort and Grace. It was such a pleasure to design this book from cover to cover; she’s an amazing woman with poetry to touch every heart. Please enjoy the interview August 2, 2010 and share it with followers. Her book will be on sale through the end of the month from http://www.store.rpjandco.com/. If you’d like an autographed copy, email her directly at: beautifulmomentsofjoyandpeace@yahoo.com. Her website is: http://www.conniearnold.webs.com/.

There will be prize drawings at the end of the tour. Details will follow the interview. Post a comment to enter.

Q: How did you get started writing poetry?

A: Music has been the instrument through which I had my early experience with writing poetry. I was the organist/choir director at a church for several years in my 20’s and early 30’s and began writing music there. That was my beginning of writing poetry, as text for music. Upon moving to Winston-Salem in 1996, I became inspired by my beautiful surroundings to write more poetry.

Q: What do you think has been the greatest influence on the type of poetry you write?

A: Being diagnosed with lupus forced a change in my life. It has caused me to become more open to God and being inspired, and to have a greater understanding of the suffering of others. Many of my poems are influenced by that and express how important it is to rely on God, whose love can sustain us through life’s difficulties.

Q: Do you only write when you feel inspired?

A: I do only write when I feel the inspiration. Sometimes it just comes to me, and that’s when the writing seems to just flow onto the paper. Other times I have to actively seek inspiration and much prayer is needed. If I can’t write something that will be meaningful, uplifting and encouraging to those reading it, I put it away and come back later to try again.

Q: Do you write anything besides poetry?

A: Poetry is definitely the gift God has given me and what I feel God uses to touch people’s hearts. It is the easiest way for me to communicate what I want to share. There are thoughts and feelings welling up in me that need to be expressed, and writing inspirational poetry is a wonderful outlet. I also write for children. I have three young grandsons, and I enjoy writing for them and other small children. In fact, my first children’s book is due to be released shortly.

Q: What do you find is the most important part of beginning to write?

A: To me, the most important thing is to begin with silence, prayer and meditation.

Q: How do you think Abundant Comfort and Grace can help others?

A: Life can be extremely hard at times. We all have our challenges to face. God’s love and the comfort and grace we have from God can make living a joy in spite of the difficulties, and this is what the poems offer to others. The light of God’s love can shine through them and into the hearts of the reader. The beautiful color photographs by Gary Strader add the visual delight of God’s glorious creation, revealing glimpses of God’s grace and peace.

Q: Is there anything else you would like to add?

A: I would like to thank you, Kathy, not only for sharing this interview as part of my blog tour, but also for the wonderful work you did to make Abundant Comfort and Grace the best and most beautiful it can be. I feel like God led me to RPJ & Company and am very thankful for the outcome!

There will be two drawings at the end of the tour from comments made at the different blogs, one for a free copy of Connie's first book, Beautiful Moments of Joy and Peace, and one for a $10 Amazon gift certificate. The more blogs you comment on, the more entries you receive! There will be an additional drawing for a $25 Amazon gift certificate from those purchasing Abundant Comfort and Grace. You’ll be entered by purchasing a signed copy from my website, http://www.conniearnold.webs.com/ using PayPal or check, from RPJ & Company (http://www.rpjandco.com/) or Amazon and contact Connie with confirmation of your online purchase. May you be abundantly blessed, comforted and filled with God’s grace!

ABUNDANT COMFORT AND GRACE

We're so excited to have a new poet in the "RPJ family."  Connie Arnold (author) and Gary Strader (photographer) have worked for quite awhile putting poetry in some type of book layout, along with images from Gary's collection, and by the wonderful ability to go "blog hopping" on the internet is how she found us!

Abundant Comfort and Grace is filled with 61 color images to compliment Connie's poetry.  It's a blessing for godly connections, and now to have a direct connection with common talents, is a forever treasure. 

Check this book out at your favorite online bookstore, Connie's website (http://www.conniearnold.webs.com/), or RPJ and Company's online bookstore (http://www.store.rpjandco.com/) for more information.  The book will be available around mid-June. Reserve your copy today!
