family

We have to be thankful for family and friends.

I watch my younger brother and sister as joy consumes the faces of them.

I see my grandmothers joy that glows with pride.

I notice the love of my parents that wisely governs their children.

I look to my fiance and see her already looking at me.

     What more could I ask for?  We need to take time in life to count the beautiful things in life.  No matter how little we do have...we still do have.  Count them, or even notice the one thing you have.  Be thankful this easter for the joy in life.  If you do not feel joy, then pay more attention.  Smile at someone in the supermarket, on the street, or even a new person at work.  Then notice the joy in their face.  You just created some joy in the world.  Don't stop with just that.  It is greater than you think..... 

        Does anyone know the agony that your savior went through for all mankind?  NO... only he does.  I thank you God for your LOVE and GRACE Lord as you and only you could form this plan to save our lives.  Thank you Jesus for conquering death for my family and myself.  I feel so small.

      GOD BLESS

LOVE IS LOUD

I just wanted to quickly encourage everyone to be loud today!

Jesus was not quiet or timid about his ministry but he was very smart.  Knowing all things he chose his battles wisely.  We read in the bible about him knowing when to slip away from crowds or simply avoiding a situation for a specific reason.  So, since we do not know all things then we need to rely on his voice or just be very careful in choosing when to go for it.  We should know the risk involved and make a smart Godly decision.  Know what you know, do not go head deep if you are not equipped.  If you aren't equipped, then go jump into the word.

     With that said, BE LOUD TODAY.  Show no timidity, but rather be brave and bold when you should. In the times where you are not equipped, PRAY.   Let us do GODS work today.  BE a MINISTRY to SOMEONE.
                            GOD BLESS!

God knows the outcome.

Dear church,

I was reading in John about how there were people were selling animals and there were also money –changers at the temple… I go through this with little detail because it is not my main point today…

            Jesus bound cords together to make a whip and drove the people who were selling at the temple away.  He was angry even to the point of throwing tables over.

“Take these things away; stop making My Father’s house a place of business.”

In return, the people asked him what sign he would show that could prove his authority.

            Jesus told them this…. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”  The Jews replied, “It took forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?  Later when Jesus had died and raised to live again his disciples remembered these words and believed what Jesus had spoken.

            My point this very second is … why would we wait now?  Now because we have been shown evidence that Jesus is the final authority on life (meaning EVERTYTHING) and the author of life in the first place.  Why do we not believe him?  The bible would not even mention the disciples believing unless it had a purpose.  Once more it would not explain how they believed it AFTER proof had been shown (hence Jesus dying and then being raised in three days).                         

            We have the convenience of HAVING THE PROOF.  Follow God for real today.  From this moment on, DO what the bible teaches, DO what God tells you in your life, DO the gospel.  Trust God and believe BEFORE you see the outcome.  The disciples believed after the result.  We today as a Christian people, need to believe to MAKE a better result.  Trust what God is saying today in your life and then see the result. 

            It is greater than you think… oh and one question.  Not to over work your brain, but are you listening?  Reflect on that question today so that you can apply our main point.  If you are not listening, then you cannot hear.  If you can’t hear, then you cannot obey and reap the benefit. 

            Listen and obey today, God Bless

Intro

I am a 21 year old male who has grown up in and out of church.  I have come up through many hardships and studied the word of God consistently.  The goal of my blog is to produce fruit, explain to non-believers, and ramble on about difficulties I have faced.  The main objective though, will be encouraging and entertaining christians.

                                                 Thank you.
