Follow the Light

Being blessed by God is an amazing thing. The freedom to love and laugh and to see what is really important is awesome. The hand of God in my life is the most important gift I have or will ever receive. The bible says that God makes rain for those who love Him and for those who are indifferent. That means that if you are not following God with all your heart you can still expect some good things from a great God. That's good, (in this life) but what about the next? Jesus is the truth the way and the LIFE, that is life eternal. When you completely give God everything through Christ Jesus you can expect the enemy (yes I really do mean the devil and his demons) to start harassing you. The cool thing though is that God will use those tactics to make you stronger and more full of faith than you would have ever been before. And after you have been found faithful, the blessing is awesome. There will almost always be ups and downs in any christian walk but Gods amazing grace is what we will always be able to count on. The journey to faith is not always easy and it definitely will take effort to trust Gods will over anything you could hope or want. I can honestly say that everything I have ever desired from the Lord has come to pass. Not always how I envisioned it, but always better than I could have hoped. If you are unsure or struggling, won't you let Christ Jesus be the light to your pathway to freedom and joy? I am living proof that God can use mistakes to bring about an incredible future. If you are not living with Christ for God then you are living less than best. Repent today for not giving God total control of your life, live your best life right now!
Be Blessed,

Looking Up

Jesus, He is the answer. If a country's top leader chooses dark over light what is the result for that country? If millions of dollars are given to aid abortion (murder of unborn children) and same sex marriage is made into law (even though Gods law is very direct on the matter) then just where is that country headed? This country is divided in two. The post modern (anything goes, its all good) and the morally bound (Gods Word says it so we follow). Now understand I'm not talking Old Testament here (stone em if they disobey) I'm talking New Testament Grace, and that Grace is the only thing that keeps this country going right now. Sodom and Gomorrah were almost spared even thought the sins of abortion and homosexuality were what the judgement was all about. Abraham asked God to spare the city if only a few good and right with God people could be found. They could not and the city was wasted. Who are the good and right? Are you? Am I? The bible say's no one is right in the sight of God, no one was perfect enough to be saved, until God sent His son, Jesus. And by accepting that sacrifice of Christs death on the cross, we were made right with God. Now how do you tell who was made right with God by Christ? Actions, faith in Gods word and fellowship with Jesus. I understand how it feels to some people that they must be the good because they feel like they are standing up for the gays and the women who want abortions so in that light they are actually doing right! Right? Wrong. Just because you think its right does not mean it is. If it feels right do it has destroyed billions of lives. I'm not perfect but because of the Cross I have a fighting chance to live forever in heaven. The bible states that the true believers in Christ are barley saved, what chance does the nonbeliever have? None. God is not a liberal, God is not a Conservative, He is not republican or democrat, He is ultimate and total. I mess up everyday, but because of Christ I have a place to get forgiven. If you think you are a believer but you have surrendered to this worlds post modern theology you are lost. Don't give up, pray. God wants to get you right, He wants all those caught in homosexuality to be healed and whole, he wants all the mothers of abortion to be healed and whole. I do not wish this country or its leaders to fail, I wish them to get connected to the greatest power in the universe, God through Christ Jesus. I can't preach or believe a liberal approach to Gods Word, its just not backed up by scripture. Judgment is though. Its time to look up, ask God what is true and right and by His amazing grace the truth shall set you free.
Love eternal,

World of Trouble

Man looking at the world from a Christian perspective looks bleak. I mean the Obamma administration is already trying to stop freedom of speech on the Christian networks I mean come on messing with freedom of speech just because Gods Word does not line up with your political agenda! Wow. The persecution of Christian on a world scale is worse than ever. More Christians are dieing for their faith than at any other time in history! It won't be long before allot of the freedoms we have taken for granted will be removed, and the funny thing is most people will just allow it to happen so that they are not seen as bigots or trouble makers. Hey I'm not the smartest man and I certainly don't have the answer for the economic crisis, but I do know who does, Jesus. He is and will always be the answer. I don't know what the current president is up to, and I really don't care. I do know that I care what God is up to. He tell us of the real home we have waiting and it's not here on earth. Hebrews Chapter 11: vs. 13-16 "All of these people of faith died not yet having in hand what was promised, but still believing. How did they do it? They saw it way off in the distance, waved their greeting, and accepted the fact that they were transients in this world. People who live this way make it plain that they are looking for their true home. If they were homesick for the old country, they could have gone back any time they wanted. But they were after a far better country than that—heaven country. You can see why God is so proud of them, and has a City waiting for them.
That is the country that we should fight for and even die for, anything else is second best. I don't imagine Obamma is the worst president this country has ever seen or will ever see, It's just that when you compare him with the ultimate leader there is really no contest. I won't live and die for a country I know will someday perish, but I will live and die for the country eternal, heaven. The bible says that God loves us and prepares a place for us through Jesus Christ, won't you become part of that eternal family today?
"If your not willing to stand for something you will fall for anything"

Rom 7: 21-25 ruready

21-23It happens so regularly that it's predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God's commands, but it's pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge.
24I've tried everything and nothing helps. I'm at the end of my rope. Is there no one who can do anything for me? Isn't that the real question?
25The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does. He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God with all my heart and mind, but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.
Those who are in Christ can understand the futility of trying to do good works apart from Christ. The world is full of those who seek to be or do good without following the lead of the Master. Christ's rule may seem unfair to those who do not understand, but to those who know Him His rule is completely perfect. The bible says that without faith it is impossible to please God, what kind of faith? Well that's easy, faith in Christ. The bible teaches that only those who remain true to Christ will have a reward in heaven, so don't look toward any world leader of any particular political party to understand Gods will for your life. You are the only one who can learn that by time spent with the Savior, Christ Jesus. Life is short and we all want to do it right, but eternity is forever and doing that right is not measured on what we did, as much as who we followed. Are you following Christ? If not, as happy as you think you may be in this life a much longer existence will follow, are you ready? I hope so, if not pray to ask the Savior Christ Jesus into your life today. Get on track with your best life now, greatness awaits you!
