NOT EVERYONES PURPOSE IS THE SAME

I never knew my purpose. Was it being a believer or being a self indulger? Or in between as a little bit of both? As we all know, Jesus said " We can't serve two masters and if we try, we'll love one and despise the other." I found that to be true while in slavery to drugs, while having my heart cry out to the God I grew up with and loved. Thus, I'm back with the only true "master" The Lord. But still what was I here for? It couldn't be to live as the constant screw up that I was! There had to… Continue

Words matter. 2 Corinthians 10.1-2

Oh, how much we have learned about faithful godly living from Paul’s two letters to the church at Corinth! And now we move into the home stretch of his second letter. And yet again as we start out chapter 10, we see Paul defending his apostleship. From our 2000-year later perspective, it is still incredible to think of Paul defending his calling and his viability as a…

Benevolence from the Heart

There is a friend of mine who finds joy daily from giving and blessing others. I’ve seen him hand over car keys with no questions asked, bestow money to people for no apparent reason, motivational speaker for young people, as well as enhanced the skill set of athletes which has enabled them to compete at the next level. I’ve observed him create jobs, businesses and opportunities most would over look. He is continuously seeking to bless someone without expecting to get anything back. If you… Continue

What verse does it say "When they are living in peace and security side by side destruction will strike"?

I just read an article that stated that President Obama using this phrase "But at this present time we have the oportunity to advance toward the goal share and dreamed that two state Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security"

Nobody is perfect....

I wish we could all say that once we start following God that we're perfect and no longer make mistakes but it's not possible. Sin is a disease we inherited from Adam and Eve our First parents that get passed forever more through-out generations. We can do whatever we can do to possibly stop doing wrong, but no matter how hard we try the battle between spirit and flesh is ever-going on. Paul struggled with this as you can read more about in Romans Chapters 7 and 8. We are only human and will… Continue

Living with God

I am a new Christian, trying to study and learn and always grow closer to God. I believe that Jesus is the son of the living God, sent to earth to pay for our sins, he died on the cross shed his blood to wash away our sins, then rose from the dead after having conqured death. He is my Lord, I look to the heavens and my salvation. I try to go forth a changed person with Gods help and strength.

It Could Have Been Worse

“I was going through some changes in my life cussin and complainin every night

tellin God the way he treatin me ain't right and how I don’t deserve this

then a voice somewhere came to me and said you have the audacity

to fix your mouth to disrespect how soon we forget.” Sound like something you have said or heard before right? In part, these are lyrics from an artist who has been dubbed a “social minded singer”, Lyfe Jennings.

While listening to this song I was touched… Continue

Mulligan

In golf sometimes a golfer is given a second chance which allows the player to do a particular move or action again. Mainly, the shot will not be tallied on the score card. As humans we make mistakes error, because we are no where near perfect. So it stands to reason that in life we should be able to ask for second chances however they are hardly granted.

In the eyesight of God he allows us to have Mulligans. God’s second chances are called…

The Presence of the Lord

On occasion believers and all the time non-believers question if God is ever present. Do people see the Spirit of the Lord or a liken image of Him? Just as Jesus visited the men on the road to Emmaus, (Luke 24:13-35) I boldly say yes He still makes Himself visible at the right time and…

What can one lady do? (fourth and final in a series on Generosity)

What can one lady do? (Part 4 on generosity)

She walked into the huge old basement room, where the preacherman was addressing quite a large gathering of street people. As she looked around, most of the folks looked about like she had expected—worn and tired, in some cases, dirty and smelly—but she was

surprised…

It's Not Politics, It's Evil

The recent debacle concerning Shirley Sherrod is a sad commentary on the state of politics within our country.

How low has our moral fiber shrunk to when individuals purposefully seek to destroy anyone with accusations they know beforehand are false and individuals rally to their defense. Add to that the feigned righteous indignation in support of these individuals by those who bemoan the fact that any one who dares suggest that not even politics can justify such malevolent… Continue

Prayers needed please

Please pray for Greg and Lola (not related); both have late stage cancer. Greg is very athletic and fit and just found out that he has stage 4 lung cancer that has also spread to his lymph nodes; today was his first day of 3 very intensive chemotherapy.

Lola is in very advanced lung cancer; they removed the respirator at 1:00 today to see if she could breathe on her own. I'll know the results tomorrow...

Please pray for them!

Are you a Giver? 2 Corinthians 9.1-5

It seems the subject of Giving is often accompanied by suggested guidelines, recommended percentages, and veiled apologies for bringing

it up, (along with the assumption that the associated organization’s

Giving must be down). As a ministry leader and director of a 501-C3, I

know that even mentioning Giving makes me uncomfortable! I have a

little different perspective as I write today. In 2 Corinthians…
