I know that...

Mother's Day is right around the corner, but I just want to say how much I love my Dad! For many many years, my dad was lost. Lost in his sin, lost in this world, and it was not always easy to talk with him and sometimes I really did not like him. To be honest those feelings have long since been gone. I remember the day that my mom called to tell me that my dad was going to church. I also remember the day that she called to tell me that my dad had accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior!

My sister, husband and I went to church the day my dad was baptized and I remember crying for joy as I watched my dad become a new man in Christ! Now let's fast forward to last week...yup last week. My dad was asked to preach this past Sunday. It was a very surreal moment for me when he was in my living room telling me what his sermon was going to be on and I could see in his eyes how excited and yet uncertain he was. I can't think of a time when I was so proud to be his daughter!
What's even cooler is that he shared part of his sermon was on. He was preaching on John 16: 12-15 and it was titled "Can You Hear Me Now?". Now what my dad used during his sermon was a fun, not really practical, but fun illustration of Senior Text Lingo. I liked it so much that I'm posting it here for you.

Now I'm sure that I could have just posted the txt part, but I wanted to share where my dad has come from and where God is taking him. It's so exciting to watch God work!

When you ask...

Jesus to use you, be ready! I knew when I completely surrendered my life to Christ that it would be a challenge and not easy. (Romans 7:25) Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin. I honestly thought that I had no comfort zone, but it seems that every time I get "comfortable", God changes the direction in which I am going or He intercedes personally by allowing me to encounter a life that is going through a struggle, and it "interferes" with "my life". So I have come to the understanding I will never be comfortable, and I am becoming OK with that. I have also come to realize that if I am in a state of being comfortable, then I am not growing spiritually. (Psalm 119:2) Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart Last night during Bible study as we were going over the passage in Ephesians 4,...

Discipline In Discipleship

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior is easy. We learn at a young age that Jesus is knocking at our hearts and is asking to enter in. We sing songs of God's love. We so very quickly accept God's forgiveness when we sin. We can justify our actions through Jesus loving us as we are. Following Jesus as Master and Teacher is hard. Again, we learn at a young age that the world is a cold, cruel place. We view hatred on TV and social media. To forgive when we have been wronged is almost impossible. To put another person's needs before ours is practically unheard of. To understand someone else's actions takes too much effort. Jesus never said being a follower would be easy. As a matter of fact, he said that it would be a narrow road that few would be able to travel. "S o in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,   for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.  “Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to...

Inside Outside

Why do we view sins as not so bad, bad, and really bad? I have been thinking a lot about this over the past week. Isn't sin, sin? Are we to judge as God judges? God's word says; "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." -Romans 3:23 My sins, and they are many, are not better or worse than yours or your neighbors - or anyone else's for that matter. So who are we to pass judgement on another? Why spew contentment and hate when we know what another person's sin is? Isn't God's forgiveness and love for them just as much as it is for us? There is no "them" and "us" in the eyes of God so we need to stop dividing people up into these two categories. " Dear friends, let us love one another,  for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God  and knows God.   Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.   This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son  into the wor...
