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

Being All In!

Make It All About Love!

I often get asked what religion are you? What church do you attend?  I reply “I am someone who loves Jesus with all my heart”.  I have spent my life, until now, believing that religion had something to do with a building we gather in. That it had something to do with a group of…

My Prayer To See!

Here I am closing my eyes again.  Trying so hard, not to see, all the things that I see. Closing my eyes to the things, that are not as I think they should be.  Then here I am opening my eyes again and I see you. The love in your eyes, is the thing, that…

A Lover’s Life!

The light of Christ that shone from her, illuminated the room. We had a rather trying day. Airport mishaps and hotel mistakes. As we checked into yet another hotel, she greeted us with open arms. Her smile was contagious, and her first words to us were “I’ve been waiting for you”. She offered us love……

Why Mary?

Mary… This time of year my thoughts can’t help but turn to her. I think of how young… how innocent she was.  I think of how brave she must have been.  How much she must have been in love with God.  I wonder?  If God ask me to do something as questionable as he asked…
