Love! It’s All There Is!

His questions were warranted.  “How do I reconcile the violence in the world today and in the bible?  God wiped out whole nations of people even after he killed everyone except for Noah? I was taught he is a loving, merciful God, yet I read of his destruction and today I see his people being hateful to others.” My answer was simple.  I hear people say I believe this. I believe that.  We come up with our own interpretations of scripture, to mold what we want to believe. Giving explanation to why worldwide there are over 45,000 different christian religions with over 33,000 in America alone. It doesn’t matter who you believe or what set of rules they follow. Your pastor, your leaders, your teachers. It doesn’t even matter if everything we find in the Bible is accurate or correct.   What matters is who you trust… who you love…  YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO KNOW THE TRUE MEANING OF SCRIPTURE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU STUDY.   What matters is your level of trust in the one who died for you. Jesus! The deep love you have for him and the love you have people.  Base your faith… your trust… in him.  Allow him to dwell in your heart and your spirit. Only then, will you be free of the burdens placed on us by men. Christ came to love, not start another religion.  HE is the only way to happiness.

John 5:39-47 (MSG)   

I Love You!

God’s Timing

I often wonder about the timing of God.  A thousand years is of a day to him.  How can we ever come to understand that concept.  We pray and we want it today.  We pray and we want it to happen our way.  There are times we need to knock down the walls of our…

The day was like any other… but on this day I had to spend a lot of time behind the windshield.  As always I listened to God music. However, this day it all came together in my mind. In a place in my soul… that only God can reach.  I felt a peace that passes…

I had my blinker on.  I was moving forward and trying not to crowd… no luck.  No one was letting me in the slow moving traffic.  People looked… people noticed… but they wanted to be first and besides what would they gain by letting me in. If only I could see someone I knew, they…
