Good or God?

Good or God?  I get asked all the time how can a good man suffer while an evil man profits?  Whats good? Whats evil? In Gods sight are we not all sinners? In Gods sight do we not all fall short? Are there levels of sin?  I’m a sinner in need of someone to pay my debt.  Your a sinner needing someone to pay your debt. I can not be good enough, in my wildest imagination, to pay the debt I owe.  But Jesus can!  Because he did, I try to be good.  Not out of obligation.  Not out of a need to earn anything. Simply out of love for the one who saves me.
Good? It’s love that leads us to goodness.  But without Christ we will never get there.
I Love You!!
1 Peter 2 / Matthew 5

I don’t know about you but I’m weary.  Weary of the scandals.  Weary of the violence.  Weary of the never ending hatred.  I try to bury my head in the sand but it creeps in like a prowler.  Then I pray and he shows me hope.  He shows me compassion.  He reveals to me the…

No Matter The Cost!

As I handed him a blanket and some money I could see the dirt.  I could smell the days on the street.  I could sense the  loneliness.  As I drove away I thought of all the homeless people I have helped but not one time have I offered a hug.  I told them of the…

The Way You Wonder!

The way you wonder is the way you choose!  Do you dwell on the heavenly things Paul talked about in Romans or do you dwell on the fear and anxiety that Satan is using the world to throw at you.  I pause as I see us living our life inside our heads.  We fill ourselves…
