About work

Yes most work and its a huge key to living but sometimes work takes away from church involvement.This can unfortunately lead you back to ways of the world, because of being unable to attend church.Yes I still have faith and pray but its not the same.

Last time I cried

Men dont cry is a myth we do we just might do it in private or when were alone due to how society can be hard on men who get emotional.I couldnt answer at the time the last time I cried it been a while, but if asked again it would had been two and a half months ago when Christina Grimmie was killed after her final concert here in Orlando.She and her fans were having fun time of their lives.It ended in tragedy and misery as Kevin James Loibl ruined everything.Credit to Marcus her brother who… Continue

JESUS MEETS US WHERE WE ARE

Jesus came into the world because God loves us. He came to forgive and set us free from our sins. He came to give us the gift of God's grace, so that we could be reconciled to God.

Jesus meets us where we are in the reality of our lives as they really are. He came with a strong, clear message: God loves us and can't bear to see us separated from God and from one another. So Jesus came that we might be reunited and have a relationship with God.

To do that, he… Continue

Life or death?

It is my opinion that too many people put so much emphasis on death that they forget to live. How we die, which one day we will, is of little importance. What really matters is how you live.

When I think of love ones who have passed on I do not focus on how they died, but I remember how they lived and touched my life. Those of us who have new life in Jesus look forward to seeing those who know Him again, for death really is not an end, but a transition with one of two destinations…

From Theory to Reality

"But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold."

—Job 23:10

Ephesians 4: Eve Was Created From Adam; What Woman Was Created From Jesus Christ?

"And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh ... Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave Himself for it ... For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones ... I speak concerning Christ and the church"

Regeneration

In John 3:1-8, Jesus discusses one of the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith:

regeneration (Tit. 3:5) or spiritual birth. Without

the new birth one cannot see the kingdom of God,

I.e., receive eternal life and salvation through

Jesus Christ. The following are important facts

concerning the new birth.

(1) Regeneration is a re-creating and transformation of the person (Rom. 12:2; Eph.

4:23) by God the Holy Spirit (John 3:6;Tit.3:5;

Through… Continue

FROM HEAVEN TO THE VALLEY

by Nicky Cruz

Jesus chose to be a child of the valley. Before He came to earth He was living in greater glory than we could possibly imagine. The Son of the King of the universe. He sat at the right hand of God. He is God. And yet He chose to step down from His throne and enter the world of the valley. He chose to live among the hopeless and lost of creation. He humbled Himself, denied Himself, emptied Himself for our sake. And He went to the cross in shame to…

You call him what?

You call him what? Matthew 26.47-50

What you call someone is a real indication of your relationship. Think of it—when you hear a man refer to his wife as his old lady, at best he is flippant, at worst, he does not respect her at all.…

Water for the Thirsty Soul

A woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink.” (For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God,…

This is Personal.

This is Personal. Matthew 26

Are you an observant person, or are you in your own head so much you miss a tremendous amount? For instance, do you pass by something rare and beautiful because your mind is flitting from this thing you have to do to what someone expects of you to some vague notion of something eating at you, though you haven’t stopped long enough to work that thought through? What do you fail to notice?

What did you notice…

What do you notice?

What do you notice? Matthew 26 - it is long, it is worth it.

No way around it – we’ve got to look at the whole chapter before we step a little closer. What do you notice, perhaps that you have never noticed before?
