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

There Is A Battle!

He battled. Daily Jesus battled.  He spent his time in a never ending battle with evil.  With demons. With Satan.  He stood strong and fought well, but in the end… he was crucified.  He was tortured… beaten… scarred… and taken to Hell.  Then in a moment, he woke, he rose, and he walked again.  They…

He Will Find Us!

I couldn’t take my eyes from them.  As I watched my grandkids play in the park I felt uneasy at the thought of them being lost or taken.  So much so that nothing else mattered at the time.  Them being with me and their safety was all that concerned me.  Then I thought of how…

Simplicity!

So I need you to have an open heart and mind!  I need you to think outside of the box, for a moment.  Lorna and I recently had a chance to visit a famous nude beach.  Wanting to experience as many things in this life as we can, we decided to go.  I will tell…

So Many and Yet One!

So many! As I stand on 16th street in Denver, so many people. Sitting. Standing. Walking. I try to see each one. I don’t want to see a forest… I want to see a tree! So many, that it would be easy to look at them as a crowd, but I desire to see a…
