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

True Joy

Her question was “how can you be so happy everyday?” She knew my answer but she wanted to hear it.  Happiness comes from the mind… pure joy comes from the heart.  Abraham Lincoln said “people are as happy as they choose to be”.  It’s only thru the dwelling of the holy spirit that you can…

Torture and Love!

We tend to glamorize it.  We even make beautiful jewelry out of it.  We don’t want to face the truth.  The whip had metal, and bone, in the ends.  As Jesus was struck, flesh was torn away from his back… his sides… his neck.  This would continue until near death.  Our Saviors raw muscle, tendons,…

Standing In AWE!

Happy Jesus Day! Standing In AWE! I stood in AWE!  I stood with wonderment and tears, beholding Gods’ mighty hand.  Standing at the foot of a four hundred foot waterfall, the power is overwhelming. Then my eyes turn to the Mendenhall Glacier.  Ice that is thousands of years old, in a valley that was shaped…
