Hallelujah!  Resurrection Sunday is almost here!  He gave His life for us, why don’t YOU give your life to HIM?

Words escape me when it comes to Jesus. Oh how He loves us!

Shhhhh! Listen up!

Isaiah 30:21  (NIV)

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”

As the year continues, choose your guide well. One is provided for us with great love.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (Psalm 119:105 ESV)

Continue to count on God’s Word, loved ones.

Something to think about:

You love Jesus Christ only as much as the person you love the least.

"You are not my enemy." Words we said to each other to help us remember what mattered. This song helped me remember too.

Christianity

Excuse me while I get deep in thought, thanks to Timothy Keller. I can't help myself. Quoting N. T. Wright, Keller says: How can you live with a terrifying thought that the hurricane has become human, that the fire has become flesh, that Life itself has walked into our midst. Christianity either means that or it means nothing. It is the most devastating disclosure of the deepest reality in the world or it is a sham, a total nonsense. Most people, unable to cope with saying either of those two things, are condemned to live in the shallow world in between. Keller says that Jesus Christ can't be on the shelf. Each one of us will have to address who he is in our own lives. Most people cannot say either of these two things, but they are the only two things that you can say if you even a shred of intellectual, spiritual, moral, or emotional integrity. Why? If you read the Bible, read Jesus' sayings, read his words, how can you call that a sham? But if it's true, then you have got to throw everything you have in your life down at his feet, and say "Command me."

Excerpts from the message: Christ: The Final Word

[thedeadelvis]

I read this in a little late night reading last night: You see, when I don't let awe of God give my heart rest and define me as his child, I will seek things like success and achievement, power and control, and possessions and affluence, and I will work like crazy to get them, leaving a trail of relational and spiritual destruction behind me. - Paul David Tripp, AWE - Why it Matters for Everything We Think, Say, & Do, page 178

God is everywhere. You just have to look for Him.

Now this is praise. To God be the glory!
