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

Jesus Is Weeping!

Jesus wept!   It’s hard to think of Jesus crying.   We cry…  We cry over loved ones lost.  We cry because our lack of faith brings doubt about if we all see them again.   But Jesus wept!  Jesus knew the outcome.  Jesus knew the power he had.  Jesus knew he would bring his…

Imagination!

Imagination.  It has always fascinated me.  I spend my days inside my imagination. In everything I do, I imagine it in my mind.  I picture it in my inner being. When building something, or creating things, my imagination has always served me.  I use my imagination as I deal with others.  I imagine Christ in…

Amazing God!

I see large, white, clouds, as if they are made of cotton, bellowing up into the heavens.  What an amazing God!  I watch as the sun sets, and turns the sky  to a golden yellow, followed by an awesome deep dark orange, with remnants of sun beaming through the clouds.  What an amazing God!  I…
