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)

Good sense!
I love the first thing that King David says when he meets Abigail (his future wife) - "Thank God for your good sense!" (1 Samuel 25:33 NLT) He obviously put a high value on wisdom ... on good sense. And he must have taught his children about its importance, as well, because when his son … Continue reading Good sense!
