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

Father As I learn… as I grow… you reveal your spirit to me.  As I look into your eyes I have a heart that can not keep.  My greatest of fears is that you will leave me here.  Drowning in this water so deep, when I want nothing more than to walk with you.  I’m…

God + Relationship!

Our conversation was about growing spiritually. So many are caught between how they were raised, and the truth of knowing a God beyond that.

Love and Happiness!

All my adult life I can’t pass a homeless person on the street and not help.  It’s not just money they desire, but many times it’s wanting someone to care.  Truly homeless, down trodden people, care more about being noticed, than they do about money.  Money is helpful, but if you take the time to…

He Died For Everyone

His comment was “I’m not very religious”.  I looked at him and said “neither am I”.  As he cocked his head I told him Christ did not come to separate people into groups of worshippers.  Christ came to redeem us all.  Jesus didn’t  say baptist over there, church of christ over here, catholics in this…

Chasing Your Giant!

God is God and I am not.    He was so big!  Muscles the size of melons.  His armor… it glimmered in the sun.  His spear alone weighed more than I do.  I would be afraid if it not for the living God who stands beside me.   The living God will give me victory. …

Healing!

He had waited so long.  For lack of hope, he knew not what to do, but try the water.  If he could only be the first to touch the moving water maybe he would be healed.  A lifetime of not being able to use his legs was almost more than he could bear.  Then came…
