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

Only The Beginning!

This season I have pondered… what it felt like for Mary?  What were her thoughts as she watched God’s only son grow, knowing he was the Savior of all mankind?  How did he act when in the synagogue?  Did you see him with a far away look, as if he could hear someone you couldn’t? …

Thirty seven times.  Thirty Seven!!   H2O became wine.  Evil spirits ran in fear.  Fish jumped into nets at his calling.  Leprosy vanished with a touch.  Small fish and simple bread fed thousands with a thought.  Walking on water – no problem.  Blindness vanished with a little spit and mud.  Even a simple touch of…

Finding The Spirit of Christ!

God comes into the world in surprising ways so that the sincere seeker will always find evidence.
