Day 8 of God’s Love for Us – July, 28, 2017 – “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all thins as we are, yet (remained) without sin.”(Hebrews 4:15) Jesus knows the path that we’re on, because He was “given all this domain and its glory,”(Luke 4:6) or, given dominion over all the kingdoms of the world, if He had only bowed to Satan. Satan wants to give us the desires of our here and now, in exchange for an eternity of peace.

Day 1 of God’s Love
Day 1 of God’s love for us
– July 18, 2017 –
God’s love for us can be expressed concretely this way, “If you are a Christian you have been adopted into God’s family.”(The Journey Volume 3, pg16, LifeWay) Therefore, “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”(Romans 5:8)
Can We be Face to Face?
Can We be Face to Face? – July 13, 2017 – There are more than 300 million people in the US alone. But yet many of us feel totally alone. How is that possible? For every person on this Earth there is another planet in our galaxy. Isn’t it amazing that 1 God knows every star and planet, as well as you? King David said, “For You (God) formed my inward parts, you wove me in my mother’s womb.” “…I am fearfully and wonderfully made;” “And in Your book were written all the days of my life.” (Psalm 139:13,14,16) If Read More
Ownership is Everything
Ownership is Everything – July 12, 2017 – “Ownership is everything” was a phrase I heard in the car business. It implied owning the right kind of car or truck that would encourage someone to purchase it for a good price, or, for a higher greater price. I tried very hard to cater to that market by making my cars and trucks uniquely shine better than my competition. I put my heart into every vehicle I sold, knowing that when I did, someone would notice and buy it. When I didn’t do my best, that is where my struggles began. Read More
Faith and Favoritism
Faith and Favoritism – June 30, 2017 – When you were a kid, did you get treated like the favorite, or the not- so favorite? I was an only child, so I was the favorite, at least in my home. What the world treated me like was sometimes an outcast, or better put, just outside the popular group. Occasionally allowed to join in, but almost never allowed to shine. As an adult, my job for many years was based on competition. Being in the right place at the right time. I took pride in my work, knowing that I did Read More
Forgiveness and Freedom
Forgiveness and Freedom – June 29, 2017 – To forgive or not to forgive, to be freed or be free? To reconcile or not? To bury the hatchet under ten feet of dirt, or to bury just deep enough to leave the handle sticking out? Those are the hard questions. How long we let someone else offend us is our choice. Forgiveness is not to set the other person at ease, it’s so that we can set ourselves at ease. Unforgiveness is like a weed in your garden of thoughts. Weeds don’t need water or fresh soil to grow, they Read More
Tempting Shortcuts
Tempting Shortcuts – June 28, 2017 – Temptation is as common as dust. Temptation comes when we choose lives that don’t follow God’s plan. When we choose the to make the things of the world more important than God. We all need to work and have families and have lives, but do we include God in those choices? To live a Godly life is to include Him in our relationships and our decisions. “No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man.”(1 Cor 10:13) God desires to have a relationship with us, that is His plan. When Jesus Read More
