Why Should we Forgive? April 12, 2017 Why should we forgive? There are many good reasons, but here are a few. Deep down we all want to be loved. Even Scrooge wanted to be loved. Unforgiveness is a hard shield we put around our heart to keep from being hurt again. It affects everyone and everything in our lives. A hard shield that stops any new good from entering our heart as well. Unforgiveness is also an anchor to our past. Anchors are meant to stop or slow down forward progress. This anchor truly only stops us from Read More
Past or Future
Past or Future – April 11, 2017 – Our lives are a journey of beliefs and experiences. The real question is, do we get stuck in our past, or do we listen and be led into our future? Being stuck is not being led by God. Following Jesus is a choice. Jesus is the Son of God. When He died on the cross, His Holy Spirit was released to fill and guide the world. I welcome His spirit as my guide. I trust that He knows what is best for me and when I start thinking in terms of “I Read More
GodliMan Street
Godliman Street April 8, 2017 As I read this morning, I hope u see why I send these to you. My intention is to be a light to all that know me and show you the power of God that is working thru me. He is constant, and wanting to be part of your life. Hopefully He is using me to bring you closer to Him. To have our street renamed Godliman or Godliwoman St would definitely be an honor and bring glory to God. I hope you have an amazing day. (Photos of Our Read More
Idol Worship
Idol Worship April 7, 2017 Idol worship, we all do it right? Probably to some degree. Idols in our society are generally metaphorical. What do we hold in our minds as our greatest possession or obsession? Our car, our job, our clothes, our TV? What do we think about most? That’s an idol if we think about it more than thinking about and doing things to glorify God. Jesus came as a baby born in a stable to signify that He thought of Himself less than He thought of others. We live in a me, me, me instant gratification society, Read More
A Story of Patience
A Story of Patience April 6, 2017 This story of Daniel is a true pillar of strength and belief. It is one of my favorite stories because it shows how God does hear us and work on our behalf. Today we are so caught up in instant this and instant that, that we lack true faith and patience. If we seek God with all our heart, with faith, and with belief, we will have the patience and see that He hears us. Psalm 119:165 reminds me, “Those who love Your law have great peace, and nothing causes them to stumble.” Read More
Invitation to Happiness
Invitation to Happiness April 5, 2017 God’s Word is the greatest invitation to happiness that we can ever experience. He tells Isaiah in chapter 55 “Come, buy wine and milk (nourishment) without money (v1); Listen that you may hear (v3); and Call upon Him while He is near (v6).” Jesus tells us through Matthew in 7:1 “Ask,and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened.” All of these take faith that “My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways. For as the heavens are higher than the Read More
Aspen Groves
Aspen Groves April 4, 2017 I hope you have a great start to your week. Did you know that groves of aspen trees are from the same seed? I learned that a few years ago. Just outside Buena Vista, Colorado, we have the largest single Grove of aspens in the world. What a beautiful joy it is to see when they start changing colors in the fall. Just as God lays their root system underground and dormant sometimes for years, He lays in wait within us until we want Him. God is always with us. He’s known each of us Read More
