Do You Have a Guardian Angel?

Yes. Everyone does. How do I know? Because I know I have one and if I have one every other person on this earth has one. No matter what our physical (health, wealth, etc) circumstances, God sees our souls and sees all souls of His children equally. Trust me—You have a guardian angel! Continue reading “Do You Have a Guardian Angel?”

Only One Light Can Break Up the Cloud Hanging Over Your Head

I have a cloud hanging over my head. Can’t really explain why but I think it’s a mixture of too much work to do, too much Christmas anxiety, and a few other “things” mixed in. My mind won’t stop and the more it motors the cloud seems to get denser and darker. I know there is only one light that can break up the cloud and that light is Jesus. So, that’s the direction I’m looking for help. Continue reading “Only One Light Can Break Up the Cloud Hanging Over Your Head”

Make Every Day a Thanksgiving Day!

Every day should be a day of thanks giving! Regardless of your circumstances, we all share a common bond of needing to give thanks. Jesus Christ walked among us to show us the way to eternity with God. He saved each one of us personally by cleaning the slate on our sins—past, present, and future. Every day when we fall or jump out of bed we should be on our knees giving thanks to God! Continue reading “Make Every Day a Thanksgiving Day!”

“Someone” Hurt Your Feelings? Talk to Jesus!

Imagine trying to help someone and that person spits on you, hurls rocks at you, and tries to throw you off a cliff, never mind calls you names. Well, that’s exactly what happened to Jesus. He came to save each one of us individually and we nailed him to a cross. That’s not just game for hurt feelings; that’s simply a whole lot of hurt. So, the next time someone “hurts” your feelings, talk to Jesus. And, yes, I mean literally talk to Jesus. Continue reading ““Someone” Hurt Your Feelings? Talk to Jesus!”

My Greeting from God After My Vacation from Him!

I took some time off last week from work and, as it turned out, from God. I didn’t start out planning a vacation from God; in fact, I was planning just the opposite. I thought that with some time away from the pressures of work I could actually spent more time with God. The opposite actually happened—I left God at home for some reason. It was like I was trying to get away from everything, except for my wife who was physically with me. So, when I got back home God greeted me with his thoughts starting with a scripture verse that screamed at me. Continue reading “My Greeting from God After My Vacation from Him!”

What’s Love? Christ Dying For You!

God demonstrated his unconditional love for us in the most extreme way possible—God gave us his only Son. Jesus’ life showed us how to live our lives. His death liberated us from our sins.

God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

When you get mad at someone today, or simply are gruff and don’t smile, think about God’s one simple command to us: LOVE! And think about how God backed that talk with action. Jesus is the proof. Before he left us he passed on that command.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12

Very simple but key thoughts for today and everyday.

LOVE! It’s a Real Secret to Life!

VOTE!!! It’s a Gift from God.

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Romans 13:1

In the United States, all those who have gone before us worked hard and gave their lives to keep our country free and safe. That includes the gift, and responsibility, of voting. You may not like the way this country is being run, but not voting is not a solution.

Get off the couch and do what so many in the world only wish they could do—VOTE!!!

Never Look Down on Anyone Unless You’re Helping Them Up!

This short video is well worth the watch.

How many people have you passed on the street as if they weren’t even there? How many people did you fail to see God in their faces?

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'” Matthew 25:35-40

The line at the end of the video is a real life lesson: Never look down on anyone unless you’re helping them up!
