Place your life in His hands…
Hour by hour I place my days in your hand, safe from the hands out to get me. (Psalm 31:15 The Message). I place my days in your hands. Wow. If we could only do this. It is easy to do when we are surrounded by enemies wanting to drag us down with them. WeContinue reading “Place your life in His hands…”
Interesting Quote I found today…
“The fact is that the cross isn’t a form of cosmic child abuse – a vengeful Father, punishing his Son for an offence he has not even committed. Understandably, both people inside and outside of the Church have found this twisted version of events morally dubious and a huge barrier to faith. Deeper than that,Continue reading “Interesting Quote I found today…”
Where is the Hope?
Where is the hope? This day is after all Good Friday. What is really Good about a day where the one who we thought was the Messiah is crucified, killed on the cursed tree? The worst type of death known to man. What is so Good about this? The hope is in 19:39 – NicodemusContinue reading “Where is the Hope?”

Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.” Jesus served his disciples. He set the example for usContinue reading “To Serve…”
Are you devoted to God?

Mary took a lot of perfume and anointed Jesus feet. In Matthew and Mark she anointed his head (Matt. 26:7; Mark 14:3), butContinue reading “Are you devoted to God?”

I read this psalm, and starting singing a song I rememebr from my days in North Carolina. At the start up mission congregation my family and I were a part of there. It is a song by Chris Tomlin from his first album The Noise We Make, called Forever. This song is a paraphrase ofContinue reading “Forever God is with us! Psalm 118:1-2”
Strong Enough
I was taking the girls to school this morning and I heard this song by Matthew West and it really struck me. We sometimes wonder why God has brought us to this place, and sometimes maybe it is so we realize that we can not do it by ourselves and we have to give itContinue reading “Strong Enough”

But then all of the people around, you just lose interest in the presents, I mean they can be opened later, why not spend time together and worry about those presents later… I do not know many peopleContinue reading “The Gifts…”
Bank Account
I received this in an email and thought it was worth sharing. A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years recently passedContinue reading “Bank Account”
