A message for the poor in spirit….

This message is for you: God loves you. He loves you dearly. You are precious. He created you, as you are, specifically for His pleasure. There is nothing you can do or experience in life that will remove you as the apple of His eye. ANYTHING that a person tells you, or that you tell yourself, that is contrary to this truth is an absolute lie. Believe it. Know it. Live it. ***Follow the link and receive more.***

Are you focused only on what you can get from people?

Others simply faded away by not answering calls or responding to messages or showing up when asked or needed. However, not one of them had the decency and honesty to simply say, “I no longer want or need anything from you so this is where we part ways.”

Christian lifestyle is not a destination…

“I know, I know – sometimes you don’t want to overcome the temptation. You just want to do what you want to do. Times are hard. You need to take your joy where you can. I know. I’ve probably had the same self-talks, but I will tell you, there comes a time after you have surrendered your heart and your will to God that the temptations that once tortured you will barely register a blink when you’re confronted with it/them. The God in you is stronger than you think you can ever be.” Follow the link to read the whole post.

Jesus’s purpose…

Then John 10:10 came to mind. I initially thought the message was about the enemy’s purpose. A reminder that I should expect to be attacked by those who aren’t aware of their own blessings. But it wasn’t a reminder about the enemy’s purpose; it was a reminder about Jesus’s purpose! Jesus Christ came to give me and you life. Not just any old kind of life. He came to give us LIFE IN ALL IT’S FULLNESS!

Romans 8: Life in the Spirit…, God’s Everlasting Love

I needed this today.  Be blessed, Shawnda Life in the Spirit There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.[a] 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his ownContinueContinue reading “Romans 8: Life in the Spirit…, God’s Everlasting Love”

Who will speak for this woman?

Men have long denied those they have claimed to love the most. Women have long made the mistake of thinking men are greater than they are. Adam threw Eve under the bus and, as far as we know, up to a few moments before he denied responsibility for his woman – his love and hisContinueContinue reading “Who will speak for this woman?”

Sermon: THE DANGER OF A GOOD SERMON

GET UP AND GO! Celebrate the sacrifice as if we’re expecting to go someplace. Every now and again we have to address life as if tomorrow is not good enough. Next week is not good enough. God is doing something wonderful TODAY!

Pillar of salt or Salt of the Earth?

Lot reached the village just as the sun was rising over the horizon. Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah.  He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation.  But Lot’sContinueContinue reading “Pillar of salt or Salt of the Earth?”

When what you want most is what frightens you the most

A few weeks ago, I took a walk with a stranger on a dark night. On the surface, I’m sure he wasn’t really interested in conversation, but he provided good insight. Some of his assessments of me are still playing in my mind. One of his seemingly unloaded questions to me was, “Do you want a relationship?” IContinueContinue reading “When what you want most is what frightens you the most”

Sermon: THE LIFE OF FAITH

We serve a God who not only speaks to us, but desires intimate conversation with us.
