It doesn’t appear to beContinue reading “Promised Resurrection”

Abandoned

Do you sometimes wonder if you are loved? Have you felt broken and empty? Have you done something you know is wrong and thinking you will never be forgiven? Have you heard the word of Jesus?

Messenger from God

How accepting are you? Are you willing to accept other people into your life? Are you willing to accept a message from someone you don’t know? Someone you do know?

Do you believe in miracles? Some do, some don’t. Some say providence, others say coincidence. Truth is, I don’t believe any of us are 100% on side or the other. I lean much more toward the former than the latter. I would say I’m about 80% / 20% toward miracles and providence. Have you everContinue reading “Believe in Miracles”

Do It All for the Glory of God

Do it all to the glory of God! Paul told the Colossians to do everything in the name of Jesus. If we do that, we do everything in truth and love. If we do that, we will be respected and honored by others. If we do that, we will not have the hate, malice, disgust,Continue reading “Do It All for the Glory of God”

Thank God for Today

Thank God for today! Do you do that everyday? I know I don’t always. Should we? Yes! Each day is a blessing from God. Each day is an opportunity to be a positive example for others. Each day gives us different situations to learn from. So, why don’t we give thanks for each day? Well,Continue reading “Thank God for Today”

Judging Jesus

Have you ever spent time thinking about just how outrageous the trial was that Jesus faced? Have you ever thought, “How can anyone have authority over Jesus?” What amazing audacity to think you can judge the Son of God?! But wait! Do we judge Him? Oh, we certainly do not, we might claim. We don’tContinue reading “Judging Jesus”
