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

Life Changed!

As I sit in this large restaurant, there are so many people. Waiters and waitresses.  Buss boys and cooks.  Everyone rushing around.  People are busy eating and visiting.  It gives me pause.  I think on the hustle and bustle, of Bethlehem this night.  The streets were crowded.  The taverns where filled to overflowing.  The hotels…

Lessons Of The Manger!

I thought I got it!  Every Christmas, I look at and read about the nativity scene but the true deep reality of it never fully came clear.  In that time a stable was simply a lien-to and perhaps the most disgusting structure in town.  Under its’ roof the dirtiest place would have been the manger. …

Simply Jesus!

Eight years.  Eight years God has been using me to deliver the HJD message. For eight years I have been sending this message to the lead pastors of my church with no acknowledgment.  There are 8000 people who read HJD and many who use it to better their lives. However, my lead pastors do not…

Faith And Love!

My conversation with him was one of listening.  Listening to how he could never do enough, or be good enough, for his parents.  He could never be good enough to please God… or so he was taught.  At which he said “why even try”.  He told me he was estranged from his parents and wasn’t…

Trust In His Grace!

I wake up each morning at six.  As I rise from the covers I have a prayer in my thoughts.  My goal in waking up is not personal perfection, but surrender, and union with God. Any preoccupation with my own moral goodness keeps my eyes on myself and not on God… or grace… or love. …

Too Many Angels!

Today the streets of heaven are crowded with too many angels.  This week someone very close to my heart, and a once in a lifetime friend of thirty years, went home to be with our Savior.  No warning… no preparation…  just gone.   I don’t really understand, but I’m trusting my God.  On top of…
