God"s Full Wrath

Good morning and happy Friday. What is it that Jesus did for us on the cross? Really did? This major event in our history is one the greatest points and one of the saddest and one with the most love ever demonstrated. God's full wrath is poured out onto a sinful world. The sin of the world is placed on His Son for us. That part is so bad God cannot even look at. And it's done for us so that we can be with Him. The sin never stops, even today. Nothing that happened then is not still happening now, it's just in different times. So if someone has done that much for us doesn't it only seem right to give the life you have left to the one who is offered His to save you. He has asked that we do what He asks and to follow the example as best we can to get to Him in Heaven. That is where we belong. But we have to do our part. Once a week in a building isn't it. It's a lifetime of everyday living to please Him and do for Him and serve our brothers and sisters with a joyful heart. Hate and anger have no place in this life. That is what the devil uses to separate us from the Father. Start loving if you haven't and keep going if you have. This life is too short to be wasted. In love always. <><

The Comfortable Generation

Good morning and happy Thursday. The great Generation. The ones who lived through the Big War and depression. They had ideals and worked hard and strived to pass on a legacy better than what they had. That has progressed to today to a point we just give our kids what they want and make it as easy for them as possible. It's giving in the right spirit. It's helping them with a good intentioned heart. But we all know it's the worst thing for them. This is a picture of ourselves in our faith and walk with God. Our churches are more comfortable than before. We're not there at it every time the doors are open. It's been made too easy and we've formed our faith and our God to our ways of comfort. That's backwards. A true hunger for His word is where Life is found. It's where the Way is seen as it really is. It's where the Truth is told and if you have truth on your side you can't be wrong. We as a nation we have got to get over ourselves and realize we're not all that. We're on a road that will lead to destruction. But we don't see it cause its the American way. Go get uncomfortable and start doing God's work He's asked you to do. Make a real difference for the next generation to see. In love always <><

The God Time Budget Cut

Good morning and happy Wednesday. Running late today so I'm squeezing in God time instead of changing something else. That's how we do it isn't? When our time budget has to be adjusted, isn't God the part we cut first. That's who should never be considered being cut. Other "radical" religions will cut the day short at a meeting to make time for their God. Remember not all of them want to kill us. They are far more faithful to their God though. What would it be like in the world if we were that dedicated to our God? We've just become too comfortable in our faith to do anymore than is necessary to feel good on the inside. I feel bad right now that I've not taken my time with what God wants from me this morning. This is not how it used to be. This is growth. I am in dire need to grow more. To do that I need more time with God. It will happen. If you're not there yet, join me over this summer to grow closer to God than we've ever been. In love always. <><

Heed The Warnings

Good morning and happy Tuesday. So how many warnings does God give us? How many chances are we allowed? I know it's hard, I struggle everyday. It makes you wonder why, if God wants us to be happy, why is it so hard to follow Him and do the things He wants us to? It's because there is another presence here too, Satan. He roams about tripping us up in little subtle ways until we see that we're now further away from the light of God. Our free will to do and make choices of our own is what has caused us to stray. When we decide to really get busy with the following of God part we have on our hearts, we will then choose to do it His way. It's up to us to make the path a little easier for ourselves. He's made a nice smooth straight road we just have to get on it. When a choice is at hand, decide today to make it with God's help and not our own wishes. Just ask Him to intervene on your behalf and things will begin to be clear again. Not easier, just clearer as we get back in the light. In love always. <><

Pharaoh Was Warned

Good morning and happy Monday. Great word this Sunday that I have to pass on. Have you ever heard someone say they lost their job, fired, out of the blue? They don't know how this happened and it was for this one thing. Doesn't it make you wonder what really happened? Most people don't get fired for just one thing done one time. You get a few write ups and things first. It's the same with God. We always paint Him as so loving, which He is, but forget about His justness. Justness comes with discipline. And that usually comes with some warnings. As a parent I do the same things and it's out of love that we do that. Trying to guide them into the right direction. To lead them to a better way of life. But after a few warnings out comes the discipline. As a parent, God is no different. He wants the best for us but if we don't mind Him, we're gonna get a spankin. And it's deserved too if you get it. So don't be tellin people you can't believe God did this to you over one thing, one time. He warned pharaoh many times. In love always. <><
