God created us worthy. Jesus restored us back to our created state. The power of the cross goes back to before the world had form. In the beginning . . . the earth was without form.

December 19, 2022
God has always been King. Humans asked for men to be kings. God said to the prophet, “They have not reject you. They have rejected me.” Jesus came to be the King of kings, the answer to the request for a man to be king (the rejected stone).

December 18, 2022
Speak to the unbeliever’s unbelief. Be ready with the words of your testimony. They overcame the accuser of our brethren by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.

December 16, 2022
Church is not somewhere you go, church is who you are. We (the church) are the ones going in, “Go you therefore…”

December 15, 2022
Do not fear; find favor with God. Love puts down all fear. Do not fear God’s correction. God corrects (instructs in righteous) the children of God. Christ Jesus is our righteousness in God.

December 13, 2022
Your experiences with God come from your relationship with God. Do not trade them for the traditions of humans or their interpretations of our patriarchs or matriarchs’ relationships with God. A host of witnesses surrounds us, cheering us on as we live and share our testimonies of the goodness of God.

December 12, 2022
You may never reach some unbelievers by quoting scripture. The seed may be something that’s part of the fruit the Spirit grows in you while you remain connected to the Vine (Christ Jesus). Seed producing like seed. A grape vine producing fruit that contains the seed of the vine. A shaft of wheat producing the seed to grow wheat. Love reproducing love.

December 11, 2022
There are somethings we take by faith because there is no explanation other than, “I believe.”

December 7, 2022
Why don’t we declare and decree grace and mercy? Preach the gospel (declare the good message).

December 4, 2022
Follow me as I follow Christ Jesus really means follow Christ Jesus. Look past the man or woman to Christ.

November 30, 2022
Preaching does not require a pulpit. Preaching does not require a specific building. Preaching requires a willing heart.

November 27, 2022
The world is full of hurting people. A lot of harm has been done in this fallen world. Jesus came to heal broken hearts and asked us to do our part by loving one another.

November 24, 2022
Paul heard from Christ Jesus while on his way to persecute christians. Paul was not trying to hear from God in Christ. Paul was not on his way to changing until after he heard God in Christ.

November 20, 2022
Sometimes we build a pedestal and put a person on it. Later we use it as a hangman’s platform to lynch him/her.

November 19, 2022
Do not focus on the person in the pulpit. Focus on God in Christ. Focus on God in you. God goes with you.

November 14, 2022
We need to look at what is going on and ask our self, “How does this work towards God’s desire that none should perish?”

November 13, 2022
God so loved the world that God sent Christ Jesus. Jesus so loved the Father that He died to give us life. First, Jesus lived an earthly life that qualified Him to be our salvation. The Spirit hovered over the tomb and God called Jesus out, “Let light be!”

November 12, 2022
All y’all are children of God. Stop fighting one another. Do not fear being a child of God! Start acting like sibling of the servant King. Find the greatest rewards in serving one another. Do we fear to serve because someone may take advantage of us? Father, forgive us because we do not know.

November 11, 2022
Eve was deceived. There is a lot of stuff you can say in front of me that I let slide. That is not so if my wife is with me. Adam was there with Eve, let it slide, and Eve was deceived. I am not trying to convince you. I am protecting her.

November 10, 2022
Eve was deceived, but Adam sinned willfully hearing the word from God’s own mouth. Adam chose disbelief. Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!

November 7, 2022
The church is people. One person, one local fellowship, one city, one county, one state, one country, and the entirety of the earth. The head of the church is Christ Jesus. We refer to the church as the body of Christ. The desire of God’s heart is that we all repent and none would perish.

November 6, 2022
I am not a big fan of the Bible version wars. When at all possible for you be at peace.

November 5, 2022
Do not give up on yourself or others. Stand tall and lift others up. Humility is not being afraid to lift someone else up (without hype that glorifies your works).

November 3, 2022
At 2:00 in the morning my thoughts are on the lost and the town criers trying to get the message out. The world is full of SPAM messages. The sounds of madness are following the preacher with obscene sights and sounds. God bless the preachers!

November 1, 2022
We live outside the book and the box it came in! The read gets us ready for good works, but the good work take place out here.

October 31, 2022
No one has dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers with you. It is God that called and equipped us all. God gave us the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

October 30, 2022
It is very easy to become disillusioned by our expectations or the hyped expectations of others. We miss the simple miracles looking for the next big thing. We miss the daily changes looking for the suddenlies

October 29, 2022
I am individual part of the I Am! I am a member of I Am. I exist because of I Am!

October 26, 2022
Rejected stones, you are not the problem. The problem is with people building their own kingdom or trying to carve out a piece of the kingdom for themselves. You have not been rejected by the kingdom of God.

October 25, 2022
Do not be quiet. Tell of the goodness of God. Speak it loud and proud. The people who do not want to know, need to hear.

October 24, 2022
Grace is not because of what you have done, but what Jesus did. Your works do not change grace. The works of God remain.

October 23, 2022
There is one who comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Our reply is to love one another. We are free to love.

October 19, 2022
Growth can be found in comfort. The road of hard knocks is not the only teacher. The Comforter (Spirit) is a teacher.

October 15, 2022
Church is important because you are the church, I am the church, they are the church, etc. People are the church.

October 14, 2022
There are many things I regret about my past. There are many things I celebrate about my past. I learned some lessons from both the regrets and the celebrations. Mistakes are not the only things that teach us.

October 7, 2022
There are somethings we will not understand because they are beyond anything we think or imagine.

October 6, 2022
Repentance is changing the focus of your heart and mind to God in Christ. Conversion is the process of changing everything else.

October 4, 2022
Love like Jesus. Not just when they are loving you, but also while they are killing you.

October 2, 2022
Correction is training and direction in an attempt to prevent crimes that lead to the need to punish. We need to stop the insane practice of punishing the innocent and teach the innocent the value of innocence.

October 1, 2022
It is better to walk with God when you are walking in the wrong direction. God will lead you to turn in the right direction.

September 28, 2022

Septemver 27, 2022
My creator is my Father, my savior, my comforter, and my sure help in times of need. God walks with me in the garden in the cool of the day. Christ is yoked with me in the heat of the day in the fields. The Spirit comforts me and is continuously fresh water for my thirst so I never feel the thirst again.

September 26, 2022
The passage of time is important to the future. Without the passage of time the future may never arrive. Time passes and the future is still in the future. The passage of time is a mystery. The result is never tomorrow, but always a new yesterday that will never return.

September 25, 2022
I do not believe grace was an afterthought. I believe grace was part of the original plan. The spiritual light of the world predates the physical sun.

September 24, 2022
God is more forgiving with us than we are with ourselves. Forgive and be forgiven is prophetic. Live by the Spirit; learn from the Spirit. God pays it forward.

September 23, 2022
God in Christ lives in us. We live in Christ in God. We are children of God. Where else do we have to go to be home with God?

September 22, 2022
God did something for us we could not do for ourselves. God created a universe for us and created us.

September 21, 2022
What is your cross? Jesus’ assignment was to live for us all, dies for us all on the cross, and be resurrected for us all. What is your assignment? What do you need to pick up everyday as you follow Christ Jesus?

September 20, 2022
Corrective criticism is different from condemning criticism. Corrective is aimed at change. Condemning is aimed at punishment.

September 19, 2022
We are Christians even when we make mistakes. Otherwise there would be no Christians.

September 17, 2022
The only person you can change is you, but you can encourage a multitude of people.

September 12, 2022
You cannot live someone’s life for him/her. Live your own life better for him/her instead.

September 7, 2022
Innocence is something to seek and to ask God to restore. Create in me an innocent childlike heart.

August 29, 2022
I believe God has always been giving the world a big alter call. I believe God desires that none should perish. Choose God!

August 27, 2022
You have an open invitation from Christ Jesus to go and reason with Him. He will clean your garment and make it white as snow.

August 24, 2022
The gospel is more about what God has done in Christ Jesus than what you need to do. Believe in the name!

August 22, 2022
We all make mistakes (mess up, transgress, sin, fall, fail or what ever you call it) and we all have the same grace.

August 15, 2022
You must become like a child in faith. Maturity in faith is becoming more innocent. Believe that it is God’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom of God.

August 14, 2022
I believe that loves hides (covers) a multitude of things that never needs to be revealed.

August 13, 2022
Don’t look for the revival. Spend time with God in the Spirit and people where you are and be part of the revival.

August 12, 2022
When someone is broken the love they can give may be broken. That is true if it is you who are broken or of someone trying to love you. Christ Jesus forgives and heals broken love. Be like Christ.

August 11, 2022
Be the kind of Church where people can come and glean the fruit. Freely receive, freely give!

August 10, 2022
Pray that the Lord of the harvest send workers into the harvest.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” -Isaiah-

August 8, 2022
Your part of the message does not have to look or sound like anybody else’s. Peach the gospel! Preach the message of reconciliation. Tell of the goodness of God in your life.

August 7, 2022
There is a difference between the good works God prepared for us and self-works. When your faith is in God there is no faith without works. Jesus answered, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

Jesus saves. The works of God in Christ saves. The good works God gives us is good works from salvation, not works for salvation. Work in the light!

August 6, 2022
God uses hurting people to help other hurting people. That is part of the healing process. Love one another. The person who said hurt people hurt people was hurting. It can happen, but that is not every hurt person’s destiny. Only love and forgiveness (gifts of God) can heal the brokenhearted.

August 4, 2022
The greatest servant is not the one telling everyone what to do. The greatest servant is the one setting the example.

August 3, 2022
What God’s love started with the Son sent continues with grace by faith in the risen Son.

July 31, 2022
God’s presence is always with us. The realization comes when we are paying attention.

July 29, 2022
“For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things” (1 John 3:20). How much of our anguish comes from self-condemnation? Put your confidence in God.

July 26, 2022
If you are hurting, still reach out to others, still minister the gift of grace, still share your talents with the world, still love one another, etc. that is how you heal. Christ Jesus forgave the world while hanging on the cross while He was still hurting.

July 25, 2022
Jesus came to die for the unrighteous. Why wouldn’t He sit at the table and eat with the unrighteous being justified by His works? Jesus makes more sense when you focus on why He did what He did. Jesus desires that none would perish, but all would come to Him for salvation (reconciliation and forgiveness).

July 22, 2022
Love made a way. We call it the grace of God. God in Christ reconciling us to God and to one another through forgiveness.

July 16, 2022
Forgiveness is not something we do with selfish motives. You cannot change the past, but you can forgive. You may benefit from forgiving another, but that is not the motivation for forgiveness.

July 12, 2022
Jesus said, “Seek and you will find.” Be a seeker. Be seeker friendly without changing the real meaning of seeker friendly.

July 11, 2022
If you are a carrier of Christ Jesus, doesn’t it make sense that people who need Christ may be attacked to you? People who are depressed and oppressed may see what you have and want to know more, even if they do not believe in what you have. Your testimony may not be what they want to hear but what they need to hear spoken in love.

July 7, 2022
I cannot save anyone. I can tell people about Christ Jesus and grace. I can talk about reconciliation with God in Christ and love. People have to believe on their own. God gives you faith. You have the freewill to use that faith to believe.

July 3, 2022
Are you tired of hating? Turn your heart towards Christ Jesus. Converse with Him as you would a close friend. Reason with Christ Jesus and find life, love, and liberty.

June 9, 2022
The most helpful message to others may be what you have overcome.

June 7, 2022
True Christianity is not suppressing behavior but changing behavior through forgiveness and healing.

June 6, 2022
Life is not just going on around you. Life is within you. Live a full life.

June 5, 2022
When you count the cost, do not forget to compare what it costs to do the opposite or nothing.

June 4, 2022
With as much as the Lord has pursued me, I am not counting anyone out.

May 31, 2022
You can give your life while you are still alive in the physical world. Give up some of you ideas of right and wrong and live. Forgive and have a more abundant life. Share love.

May 30, 2022
No human is a lone wolf, but many are lonely humans. Ostracising someone then bashing them for being a lone wolf is blaming the victim. Judge not …

May 29, 2022
Reading and quoting scriptures is not the gospel message. The gospel message is, “Be you reconciled to God by God in Christ.” We are ambassadors of the kingdom within proclaiming the King who serves. The King is saying, “Come to me that you may have life.” We are ambassadors of eternity walking in time though grace by faith.

May 28, 2022
Do we feed the hungry, visit the sick and imprisoned, give a covering to the exposed, and flow with water for the parched or do we just read about it and quote it?

May 25, 2022
God gave us dominion for a reason. Jesus used that dominion to reconcile a fallen world to God in Christ. Humans have a commission to help one another. We have the dominion we were given at creation. Use your dominion to help.

May 24, 2022
Repentance is when you turn your heart and thoughts to God. God’s grace makes you the righteousness of God in Christ.

May 23, 2022
We are the Church. Of course we need the Church. We need the Church to be the Church. We need to be the Church!

May 22, 2022
Yes. Jesus shows up at Church. I am the Church and you are the Church. God with us is with us. Jesus shows up at my house, in my car, in the Kroger parking lot, at the gas station, etc. Jesus is God with us. Don’t fall for the hype. Reason with the Lord. Be the Church.

May 16, 2022
Outlawing God is nothing new. The world has been in this mode for thousands of years. Christianity is an outlaw faith depending on God’s mercy and grace.

May 15, 2022
We are a community of individuals with a charge to love one another. There are two measures. First, love others as you love yourself. Second, love as Christ Jesus has loved. Love others with care and grace. Be kind and considerate.

May 14, 2022
The issue with bashing grace is what else is there. You’ll never earn it by yourself. How can a believer preach what they do not believe? Preach the gospel of grace, but first believe.

May 13, 2022
Jesus came to reconcile us with our Creator. Jesus introduces us to an Abba Creator, a personal God with a personal relationship with each individual. Do not give that away to a person or group of people.

May 12, 2022
Nobody said, “Let’s make a religion that rejects everybody we were commissioned to help.” So how did it happen? When did the argument became more important than people?

May 11, 2022
I do not believe because someone threatened my existence in the next life. If I did not believe, I would not care about what is next. I believe because there has to be more to this life than greed and selfishness. I believe because I was created/born to believe. Belief is personal.

May 10, 2022
Your teaching or preaching will not save. You teach and preach the salvation already finished. You remind people of what God has already done for them. That is what we do.

May 9, 2022
The gospel is the good news of the kingdom of God. The kingdom is within you. The king is in the kingdom within you. The king came out of the palace in heaven, sought you out, and moved into the temple created for that purpose. You are that temple.

May 8, 2022
It is difficult to learn grace from someone who believes they earned grace. Opening and putting the gift to use in your life is not the same as buying or bartering for the gift. Grace is a gift of great value freely given.

May 7, 2022
I really do not believe we are suppose to be rejecting the people that need emotional healing. That is how most of them got that way in the first place. Love one another.

May 6, 2022
Grace is for everyone, now love one another as one given grace. Do not love as one trying to balance good and evil. Jesus came looking for those we see as unlovable to love and those we see as unforgivable to forgive.

May 5, 2022
You are a Christian. That doesn’t mean you know what all Christians believe. We have Christ Jesus. That is our unity.

May 4, 2022
We make salvation a narrow road. Jesus made salvation a highway of holiness. How can a God, who is omnipresent, be hard to find? Why do we make up rules trying to limit access to God? Why do we pretend to be God’s gatekeepers? We are but town criers proclaiming the Way of life purchased by Christ Jesus for us all.

May 3, 2022
Other people leave fingerprints all over our lives. We do not go through life alone. Encouragement is one of the most powerful fingerprints you can leave with someone.

May 2, 2022
Some people are not pew sitters. They are still seated with Jesus in heavenly places and still reconciled to God in Christ. They are still members of the Church (the body of Christ). They are not even denying fellowship. If you do not get it, don’t worry about it. If that was you, you would know it.

April 30, 2022
Don’t worry about getting lost in your own thoughts. It is better than letting someone else control your journey.

April 29, 2022
What I believe is what I believe. That does not require you to believe what I believe. When I say what I believe is what I believe, I am correct in that I believe it. Intimidating me into not sharing what I believe does not change what I believe.

April 28, 2022
People are still looking for the perfect Christians, instead of believing in perfect grace. Jesus is our righteousness while we are yet sinners. Jesus is the reconciliation with God. Our unity is in His name. Our identity is the love God sent in Christ Jesus. Grace is a gift given.

April 27, 2022
We have reached the point where preaching is a style and not the message. Grace is such a good message, but hype sells. Grace is freely given.

April 26, 2022
When someone said to you, “You have it in your head but not in your heart,” they were making up something to say. They were saying, “You have it right, but you’re still wrong.” The truth is God wrote it on your heart. Learn from the anointing of the Holy Spirit within you.

April 25, 2022
It is already finished and it did not start or finish with me. The Lord is my alpha and omega.

April 18, 2022
Church is not a buy here – pay here used faith dealership. Church is also not a used salvation dealership. Jesus bought you your own salvation by grace through faith given as a gift. You have a new renewed relationship (reconciliation) with God.

April 8, 2022
There is a big need for real kindness in this world. Not the cruel to be kind kind, but the kind to be kind kind. After all we are all human (that is our kind).

April 5, 2022
We all have a commission with Christ Jesus. A mission in common with Christ Jesus. You have a gift to uniquely minister grace. The commission does not require a stage, pulpit, or a degree in piety. Talk about your relationship with Christ Jesus with your friends, loved ones, the guy in the parking lot, the woman at the gas station, the store clerk, etc. Just be you led by the Spirit.

March 22, 2022
As a child when I read about Samuel and how God called to him in the night, I thought it not strange. God talks to us in so many wonderful ways. Still, listen for His voice to call you by name.

March 21, 2022
Wait on the Lord. While you are waiting, do not get impatient with your siblings. Wait in the Lord.

March 20, 2022
It is important to talk about creation because people need to know we were created to be in God’s image and likeness. Being Christlike is not an afterthought, but part of our created being.

March 19, 2022
The ministry gifts are diverse; diverse gifts one Spirit and one Lord. Our callings are diverse to reach a diverse world with the invitation to the Lord’s feast.

March 18, 2022
Everything with God is possible. Believe and love one another is what God asks.

March 17, 2022
We were created to be love. Created in the image and likeness of Spirit and Love. The fall messed up our psyche by changing our thoughts about our likeness and image. Jesus came to heal our hearts and free those oppressed messed up psyches.

March 16, 2022

March 15, 2022
When a word is misspelled, you do not beat the word into submission. You change the letter or letters that are incorrect. If you are assisting someone, you tell them the correct spelling. No one needs to be punished or condemned.

March 14, 2022
I see people getting glimpses of what Jesus has done for them. The creator who created and loved the people who killed Him. The Messiah who created the tree He was crucified on. The Christ who loves the world that denies Him. Jesus who purchased life for us by becoming mortal to take our death and give us resurrection in Himself. We are becoming faith-walkers, produces of love and grace carriers led by Spirit.

March 13, 2022
The anointing will teach you what you need to fulfill the call. Jesus was anointed to fulfill His ministry. He did not leave us orphans.

March 12, 2022
Every created person is in Christ. That is who Jesus died for, every created person. Every created person molded from clay or a rib in the garden or knit together in the womb. The people gathered around a burning barrel in the ally to keep warm and the gaily-clad people gathering under a steeple are all the body. Letting Jesus make a difference in you is producing the love to love every one another.

March 11, 2022
Fear not! Do not buy into the fear. Love puts down all fear. Christ Jesus overcame the fear to point of dying on the cross for us. Fear not! Believe and love one another. People who love justice will not have an issue with speaking out. It is not just a heart issue when tyrants rule.

March 10, 2022
In Christ, there is no sacrifice of the identity of the individual. The body is diverse individuals with one head – Christ Jesus – speaking the truth in love. The body does not exist by taking from the individual. The body exists by the head giving to individuals and shared by the individuals with the body.

March 9, 2022
Hate is not a form of discipline. Neither is rejection. Education is the greatest form of correction. Not what you believe someone needs, but what they need to learn. Train them up in the way they should go.

March 8, 2022
If you have been rejected by a building ministry and it’s elders or deacons, you have been rejected by the building builders and attendants and not the kingdom of God. The builders rejected the chief cornerstone of God’s kingdom. The kingdom did not.

March 7, 2022
Jesus is not bait and switch. He did not promise you grace and give you self-works. The works Jesus gave you are to help someone other than yourself find their way home into the arms of grace.

March 6, 2022
The builder of a building has rejected you? That is no sign that you have been rejected. You are the temple of God. The building is just a temporary tool. Come out of the rejection and shine like the light you are.

March 5, 2022
Humans are a sad breed. No matter that the most of us desire peace, the greed of the elite demands war. They force feed it to us. There is no “enough” for greed. No death toll too high. No inhumanity too low. Jesus said, “My peace I give you, not as the world gives do I give it to you.”

March 4, 2022
The best we can do is to tell people about Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They will do the rest. Our part is love one another and believe.

March 3, 2022
“Be a doer of the word,” starts with “be!” Christ Jesus is the Word. Be in Christ. Be the body of Christ. Then, do love one another. Do love your enemy. Do bless and not curse. Doing comes out of being. When you did (do) it to the least of these.

March 2, 2022
Take grace for the knowledge of good and evil. Take the garment of salvation and praise for your formalwear. Take the robe of righteousness and be cloaked in humility. Take the gifts of God and enter the lovefest.

March 1, 2022
Jesus is the Life. You do not stop living when you give your heart to Jesus. That is just the beginning. It can take a little while to unlearn the old path, but Jesus is the Way. Jesus is truth – what is finished cannot be changed.

February 27, 2022
The one thing I learned from studying the scriptures and living life is that while God may reward faith, God sometimes blesses the lack of faith. Like God is saying, “Okay, but here is what I have been planning for you,” or, “Here is how I can upgrade your expectations.” God doesn’t fit in our book or box. We get just a glimpse.

February 26, 2022
Do not fear the Holy Spirit. The Spirit comes to bring what is already finished. The Spirit guides us reminding us of Christ Jesus and teaching us of the (I am) Way. The need to believe is ours. God’s need for us to believe is in God’s desire for us. God is God with or without our believing. God does not desire that we should live incomplete unspiritual lives. We are the temples of the Holy Spirit.

February 25, 2022
Good works are a gift of God born out of faith. The only good works that lead to salvation are the good works of Christ Jesus, and they are finished. We were created for good works just as we were created to be in relationship with God. Our good works, just as our relationship, are reconciled by God in Christ. Not by our own works, least we boast in our works and not God’s work in us. We journey in Christ; we journey in faith. “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them “(Ephesians 2:8-9).

February 24, 2022
A misunderstanding of what repentance really is has caused many to mock grace. Repentance has no meaning without grace. You can only turn back to a merciful God. You can only be reconciled to God because God has reconciled you to Himself through Christ Jesus. Good works are done without keeping score, “Lord when did we …” The boasters in works said, “Lord when didn’t we …” Created and reborn for good work, not because of our good works

February 23, 2022
God blesses me with every breath I take.

February 22, 2022
There is only one Church. Different fellowships have different jargon and habits, but so do different people. The Church is diverse. Diverse ministries, diverse callings, diverse parts of the commission, etc. The unity is in the head of the Church – Christ Jesus.

February 21, 2022
Your viewpoint of God should be based on your relationship with God in Christ. Your relationship will speak directly to your heart and mind without all the confused words. If no one has told you that you can have a relationship with God, Jesus left an invitation in the scriptures. “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

February 20, 2022
Wake up! Stir up the spiritual gifts. Release tongues. Release the words God has written on your heart. Pray for your will to align with God’s will and perform God’s will on the earth. When in doubt pray! Ask God for help with your unbelief or misunderstanding.

God is a Father. We should expect Him to lead us in the way we should go. That includes correcting our direction when we wander off. Return your focus (heart and mind) to God

February 16, 2022
Sometimes preaching is just sharing your testimony. Sometimes preaching is just sharing a meal. The commission was to go! The commission is to go! Pew sitting is not a calling.

February 15, 2022
If we really think about it, God serves us so we can serve others. God is the greatest servant. “Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many” (Matt. 20:28).

February 14, 2022
Life isn’t making much sense right now. Maybe that’s why we have to live and walk by faith. Life doesn’t make much sense without hope of something better somewhere and sometime later. Peace has to surpass understanding, because there isn’t much peace in reality right now.

February 13, 2022
I believe in God because He believed enough in me to create a universe for me to live in. I love God because God loved me enough to be in Christ Jesus to lift me up before I knew I had fallen. I talk with God because God talks with me I walk in faith because God gave me His own Spirit to walk with me.

February 12, 2022
Everyone wants to be somebody, be great, be important and matter. The truth is we matter to Christ Jesus. Christ Jesus, grace, should matter to us. Christ Jesus is the greatest servant, so that spot is filled. God created you some body. You already have meaning and worth to someone. People knowing your name does not make you important or great. Remain in Christ! Love one another!

February 11, 2022
You are just as much of the church as the person behind the pulpit. Talk to God yourself. Study and reason with the Lord. Do not go to church, be the church going.

February 10, 2022
The knowledge of humankind imprisons. The truth that sets you free is the salvation of God. Know God’s mercy and grace and be free. That is that God was in Christ Jesus reconciling you to God in Christ. “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).

February 9, 2022
We do not wrestle with flesh and blood. When it is at all possible for you, do not wrestle with flesh and blood (be at peace with all humans). Jesus took care of your peace with God. Rest in Christ.

February 8, 2022
Love is more than learning a song. Love is more like laying down your song to help others write their songs. You can choose to lay it down and pick it back up again. Helping another with their song does not mean you will never sing your song again.

February 7, 2022
Sometimes it is easier to get caught up in the fight going on around you than to face the battle going on inside of you. If your conscience condemns you, God is greater than your conscience. His mercy is new every morning for a reason.

February 6, 2022
Until someone is ready to hear, s/he will not listen even if s/he hears. Until someone is ready to see, s/he will not look intent on seeing. Sometimes you have to be willing to suffer to love another.

February 5, 2022
I am not a Christian because I am perfect nor because I am imperfect. I am a Christian because of Christ Jesus.

February 4, 2022
By the grace of God, some of the people I hurt the most during my selfish years have forgiven me of my ignorance. From my own scars, I know I have scared them. Life’s biggest regret is that we can never go back and undo the scars. Christ Jesus carries our scars willingly to give us a heart that can go on and face another day.

February 2, 2022
How can you know anything beyond what you will let yourself believe you know?

February 1, 2022
Not everything different is bad. How boring life would be if we ate the same thing every meal. If our life depended on eating the same thing at every meal, we may see it as beneficial. Being diverse is not of itself a bad thing. Neither is being similar.

January 31, 2022
The Spirit does not give gifts to glorify or hype-up a man or woman. When you hear a testimony, listen for God. Do not assume the story in the testimony is about the man or woman sharing the testimony. They are supporting characters and recipients of the miracle glorifying God.

January 30, 2022
People kept telling me I had to be someone else so God could love me. I never understood that because God formed me. God pursued me. God loved me. I believe the new creation is the one God mended together in my mother’s womb. God created me in Christ. Love was not looking for me to be someone else. Love was looking for me to be me.

January 29, 2022
When I was preteen, I was too young to know. When I was a young man, I just thought I knew. Now that I am old, I am out of touch. You are always wrong to somebody. Do not let it be your defining attribute.

January 28, 2022
It is easier for a fully loaded camel to go through the narrow gate. Then who can be saved? With humans this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Preach the good news of the possibility!

January 27, 2022
You are on a narrow path where you walk next to someone else on their narrow path. Jesus is the only way, but the line is not single file. Diverse parts, one body. Diverse callings, one Spirit.

January 26, 2022
If I bandage the wounds of someone that you wounded, I have not betrayed you. I have been true to me. Bless and do not curse.

January 24, 2022
It was a difficult lesson to learn. Everyone lies. The one god everyone puts before God is self. God in Christ must increase and I must decrease.

January 23, 2022
The faith that remains is it in yourself and your own works? Do you believe your too good for grace? Do you put your faith in the completed works of God? Do you rely on God’s mercy and grace?

January 22, 2022
Christianity is for everyone. We have all sinned. We all need grace. We all need each other. We do not need the chains and condemnation of religion. Why do so many fear not being popular with people they do not even agree with about the important things in life?

January 21, 2022
You can compete all you want but life is not a contest. Life is a cooperative. Spend your energy cooperating with life. Can I be concerned for all lives?

January 20, 2022
What if we (all of we) mess up the plans of the agitators and refuse to hate one another. No fund raisers for someone to misuse or jargon for someone to hijack, just refuse to hate.

January 19, 2022
Sharing your testimony without reading it from a book thousands of years older than you is doable. All things are possible . . . Study to show yourself approved of God. Share your testimony of reconciling with God in Christ using your own words.

January 18, 2022
We are called to lift people up who already feel downtrodden. Not to walk all over them. They already have trials in this world, you need not be another one. Stop trying to flip the table Jesus is preparing!

January 17, 2022
There is too much going on in the world. Everyone cannot get involved with the few issues you feel are important. They have their own list. Work the issues God put on your heart without judging the issues God put on another’s heart. Walk in your own assignment and do not be so concerned about other’s assignment. They’re getting guidance from the lamp at their feet.

January 16, 2022
When we get over thinking saved means better than everyone else, maybe we can learn to forgive others. When other people get over thinking saved means we think we are better than them, maybe we can reach them.

January 15, 2022
Does another’s lack of faith taint God’s faithfulness? NO! Encourage one another by sharing the gospel of God’s faithfulness (the message of reconciliation).

January 14, 2022
As long as the people charged with proclaiming the good news are turning away from those needing the good news, nobody is preaching the gospel to a reconciled world. Thank goodness, there are some renegades still preaching the gospel!

January 13, 2022
A person cannot be forced to believe. An army may force compliance but not belief.

January 12, 2022
Jesus paid the punishment for our peace (safety, friendship). The account has been paid in full. Still we seek restitution from others before we grant them grace. Seeking payment for a debt already paid is extorsion. Flip the tables.

January 11, 2022
In the same amount of words, you could have encouraged someone. One of those encouraged could have been you. Encourage people to be compassionate. Including yourself.

January 10, 2022
Jesus preached the kingdom of God and taught His disciples to love one another, love your enemy, and pray for spiteful people.

January 9, 2022
Gladiator of praise. Someone who does battle in the arena using the sword of God (the Spirit of the Word). The Lord is releasing an army of the gladiators of praise to join the advance team already in the fields. Their alarms have already started to ring.

January 8, 2022
I changed because sometimes I need to change. I fixed myself (with the guiding of the Lord), because someone broke me. Jesus was sent to heal the brokenhearted and bore the punishment for our peace. Everyone is a someone that Jesus died to save and rose to lead into eternal life. Grace is for everyone. No sugarcoating. Blood washed.

January 7, 2022
For those who think, “love one another,” is too strong a phrase, how about, “do not hate one another.” Think about this, love in that phrase is not talking about sloppy wet kisses and all-night hugs or tucking in at night and a kiss on the forehead. Love is talking about respecting, caring and valuing.

January 6, 2022
My Father’s house is wherever I am. I take God with me when I go to Sunday service or anywhere else I go. Not because of who I am but because of who He is (He is I am).

January 5, 2022
There are more blessings than we are able to see all at once. Praise helps us express our thankfulness without seeing the full picture.

January 3, 2022
Forgiveness does not mean acceptance of the behavior. Forgiveness means the unacceptable behavior is not the rulering factor in a relationship.

January 2, 2022
When we start to understand what a parable is, we can start to see how a Lamb can be a Lion and how a King can be a servant. We were created in His likeness and image. Go reason with the Lord and be saved and learn what it means I desire mercy and not sacrifice.

January 1, 2022
We are people struggling with life in the flesh and life in the spirit. We were never intended to live life without the Holy Spirit. God breathed the breath of life into the created. Jesus said, “My peace I give to you,” and gave us reconciliation with the Creator. Go to the Lord and claim your reconciliation.
