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

Simply Saved!

I have sat so many times in thought trying to imagine what is was like. The moment our Savior gave himself over to his father.  So many things happened the moment Jesus died on the cross.  Darkness… earthquake… open graves. However the temple curtain gives me pause and deep consideration. It tore from the top…

Teach Me Patience!

Why do we look for answers with impatience?  Why do we struggle with faith not knowing for sure in our hearts that he will show up?  We worry… we get impatient… we want our way, in our time.  We look to our own understanding with no regard to his ways… his time.  We make our…

Grace – For Everyone!

Over many years I have relished… taken solace, in the words that Jesus spoke from the cross.  His final words, during such suffering, bare our deep consideration as to their meaning.  When Jesus announced from the cross “Father forgive them, they know not what they are doing” He was forgiving EVERYONE!  He didn’t look out…

I Am Broke!

As I met him for the first time he had questions.  How long have you owned this company?  How many employees are there?  It appears you have money.  My reply caught him by surprise… “I do not own the company, I have no assets and as for money… I was broke when I was born, …
