iWorship

Yesterday as my family and I went to church I was really wondering how many people were going to be there. It always amazes me how many people attend worship on Easter Sunday. It also breaks my heart because they really miss so much. Worship is so much more than attending a "church service". It is about giving yourself wholly over and being in love with God!



I have a friend who says there is a God, but also says that he cannot worship a God that allows so much hurt and pain in this world. That my friends, breaks my heart even more. God does not allow hurt and pain in the way that you think or that my friend thinks. God is the healer of the pain and suffering that comes from the enemy, the devil, satin, Lucifer. It is because of his fallen state that he took his revenge on God's creation, us!

It was so eye opening yesterday as Pastor Tim was preaching on the resurrection how Jesus' disciples doubted that He was truly ALIVE! Do I truly believe that I serve a Living God? Do you? If I say I believe that He can save me from myself, that He loves me for who I really am, then why do I doubt when the tiniest "situation" pops up? If God is God, then why do I try to "fix it myself" or say that "I've got this"? Why do I think I'm any better than anyone else? Why do we pass judgement on others? Because they don't act like us, look like us, have the same demons as us? Believe me your demons and my demons are equally as bad in God's eyes. Sin is Sin, and God does NOT deem one less offensive as another.



So, I Worship. Not because I have to, not because it's the "right thing to do", but because He loves me, more than I think I could ever love myself or anyone else for that matter. He loves me despite my wicked ways. For that I must confess that I should worship more, love more, be more to Him, to Jesus. It's not my religion, it's my life! My heartfelt prayer is to not be afraid to share the truth of my life and how Jesus has saved me. I don't want to be afraid of what you will say, but to love you anyway. And I pray that you will come to love Him so much that you Worship everyday (not just Easter).


~Peace & Blessings~

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...
