Money Back Guarantee

“I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth will I make your faithfulness known through all generations.” Psalms 89:1

I play games on my iPad so I’m forced to watch many ads to play and everyone has something you just got to try. You just don’t know how much you need this till you try it. It may be awesome for them, in their life, but it may not be something I want. Not everyone wants the same things. But you can get your money back if you don’t like it. I have never known someone who tried Christianity with any effort and didn’t get hooked. I know I did but not till I went all in. I had dabbled with it growing up but didn’t spend a lot of time and was happy with the little I knew, but it didn’t change my life. Oh I knew about Jesus and believed in him, but I didn’t know him personally. Something I recently read said that if the apostles had not gone all in and hadn’t zealously shared the gospel to everyone they could there wouldn’t be a Christian church today or Christian’s. They knew of something that could change a life and had to tell everyone. They were even willing to risk their lives on it. It doesn’t cost money so you can’t give it back but people have to give up something to go all in. Someone I knew was so madly in love with Jesus and could not stop bragging about it. She was so passionate that I was intrigued. They say the best person to reach you is a friend or family member because you know when they are sincere. You know them and their life shows living proof of what they are telling you. The worst person to reach you is someone who can talk the talk but doesn’t live by example. If they have the passion, joy, strength and wisdom in their lives. But if they don’t live it out every day through the good and bad times then you probably won’t be drawn in.

Heavens Glory

“The heavens declare that glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalms 19:1

If you really think about all that is around us it is difficult to deny God’s amazing glory. Most people just don’t think about it. They just take one day at a time, struggling through. If they just pondered for a moment nature’s faithfulness. The world starts brand new every morning and it is a brand new day not like any day before. The sun comes up at the same time every morning. The weather is always different, whether it is sunny, raining, snowing and hot or cold there is something new all the time. But the plants thrive and animals have water to drink or just play in. He not only takes care of people but every organism. Tides go in and go out. Moon is full or dark. But the sun and moon do Gods bidding and sustain life. Summer turns to fall and then winter to spring. Variety so we have it all. The world has been spinning around for thousands of years. Clocks tick perfectly the same all the time. Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July. So much to enjoy. Nobody wants to go through life on their own. We all need companionship and family. God thought of everything. The best friend we could ever have is Jesus Christ, and he will never leave us or forsake us. He is daddy to his children and never minds sitting and listening to us. When you need a hug or wisdom, or the fires of life are getting close he is there. I can look back at all the mountains you have moved and miracles you have done. I know there is nothing you can’t and won’t do, if I ask. Your power is amazing but you care so much about each one of us. You even care about a sparrow and you know when it falls to the ground. They never worry about what comes next. You have it covered. One day we will breathe our last breath and you will bring your children home to your mansion to live with you forever as one big happy family.

What Is Freedom

“You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge in the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.” Galations 5:13

Jesus paid a very high price for our freedom so shouldn’t we understand what that really means for us. Before Jesus came all people were slaves to an evil master. One who wanted to control us and have control of our lives. When he got Eve to eat the forbidden fruit he thought that now he could be god. But that is because he never understood God and just wanted power. But God is anything but power hungry. So many people think God is all about rules and commands taking your freedom from you and any chance for a life. This is because they don’t know God. If they only knew they are believing the lie that Satan has been pushing down our throats for years just to become a god. They don’t realize all they have already given up because they are his slave and they don’t know it. Jesus came to give life and give it abundantly. He came to give eternal life forever to anyone who would believe on him and just say, “I’m sorry!” God promises to forgive every sin we have ever committed and those we will commit in the future, because we still have a sin nature and can’t stop sinning. Jesus has become our new master, but he does give us free will to do what we choose because he loves us so much. He wants us to love him so much that we get to know him intimately and don’t want to do anything against his wishes. As free people we can do anything we want but shouldn’t we first consider the one who gave us our freedom and how much he loves us and only wants what is best for us. Never wanting to see us hurt. It took thousands of years to bring people to the place they needed to be just to be ready for Jesus to be born. And John The Baptist prepared the way by doing what God called him to do. So many were blinded by the sin in their lives. They tried to earn forgiveness by following rules and rituals. They weren’t trying to do something for someone they loved just keeping the laws that Moses gave them but Moses wasn’t God and he would be the first to say so. He was taught by God what they needed to do to live holy lives. Pleasing God not Moses. But people made it about works not worship. That is why they didn’t see Jesus when he stood before them. He was about love not rules. He went to his death showing how much he loved.

Gods Presence

“The Lord replied, “ My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14

The wonderful thing about God is he will never leave us. He is always watching over us and he is in control because he knows everything that is going to happen and the thoughts and intentions of all people. He sent his Son to die for our sins so we could live with him forever. The more you spend time in his words and talking to him the more you feel his presence. When you have the joy of the Lord in your life you can handle whatever comes your way because he brings contentment that this world can’t give. The blood of Jesus Christ bought our freedom and has overcome all that the enemy tries to bring in our lives. But, greater is he who is in us than he that is in this world. Things and people can’t give lasting contentment only God can. He gives everything we need. Do you need more wisdom, peace, strength, power, or pretty much anything. Just tell him what you need and he comes through for you. He is not a genie granting your every desire because maybe some things just aren’t good for you or what is best for you. But he works for the good of those who love him and have his purposes and his will as their desires. Being used to further his kingdom should be your priority. Things that matter for eternity and not just temporary enjoyment. He has given us everything w need to make this a great life. Strength, wisdom, power to do great and exciting things to better our world. God wants you to have enjoyment but living for him can bring enjoyment and fulfillment.
