My desire is to share my daily journey through the Word of God so that others can be inspired and encouraged to be all in for Jesus!
God takes me so many places as I read and study His Word, and I love to write about it. Maybe someone will read this and get their own message from God. Or maybe following my journey will give them a desire to start a journey of their own. I just hope that God will be glorified and that He will always be the main contributor to this blog!
God loves you - and he wants to have a one-on-one relationship with you! That is why he sent Jesus to bridge the gap between you and Him by way of the cross. All you have to do is:
Admit your a sinner. (Romans 3:23)
Recognize that the penalty for sin is death. (Romans 6:23)
Know that God loves you, so Jesus died in your place. (Romans 5:8)
Understand that nothing you can do on your own will ever be enough. (Ephesians 2:8)
Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord! (Romans 10:9)
Celebrate the new you! (2 Corinthians 5:17)

Well, right off the bat I know I could use a lot of refining in this area when it comes … Continue reading Patient & kind
The most excellent way
The lead into to the "love chapter" (1 Corinthians 13) comes on the heals of Paul explaining to the church the special gifts they have received as part of the body of Christ. As he finishes explaining these gifts, given by God to accomplish his purposes, he makes a statement that leads right into his … Continue reading The most excellent way
Love – our “secret sauce”
Recently my pastor gave a sermon on love and on the famous "love chapter" (1 Corinthians 13). I know. We've heard countless sermons on love and can probably recite or at least cite this chapter from all of the weddings we've been to. But he shed some new light on the whole "agape love" thing … Continue reading Love – our “secret sauce”
