This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will be done.” Matthew 21:21
Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Peter, and Paul. Saved mankind from destruction, fathered a people under God, saved the same people, led the people out of captivity to the Promised Land, was the rock of a new church of people, and brought the message of God to all peoples. They did all this with one simple thing Continue reading “With a little faith you can move mountains!”
It was exciting watching Bubba Watson win the Masters. The guy bucks convention left and right — has never had a golf coach, plays with a pink driver, and does goofy YouTube videos. “Being Bubba” is just throwing caution to the wind on the golf course and letting your emotions and the tears fly in public.
What I really love about “being Bubba” is Continue reading “Being Bubba; Being Christian”
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” John 15:12
Please help me out because I just don’t get it. God gave us ten commandments that can be summarized by two: LOVE him and LOVE others. In LOVE, God sacrificed his only Son for our sins. And the night before he was beaten and hung on a cross — for us! — Jesus gave us a simple commandment to LOVE.

He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
Now you’re really going to have to trust me. That’s because I will tell you right off the bat that one of the Secrets to Life is knowing that Satan is very much alive in the world, actively after your soul, and that you have to fight him every step of your journey. As you read this he is most likely putting doubt in your mind. He is the king of doubt and deceit.
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:7-8
When we think of words to describe God we typically think of all-powerful, all-mighty, creator, infinite, all knowing, etc. God is often described in words that are removed and almost cold. Our visuals relating to God are things like thunder and lightening, and a booming voice from on high. However, there is one simple word that describes God: love. Continue reading “God is love. Love him. We love him by loving everyone.”
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
Luke 12:25
Great insight from Jesus. I know that I spend way too much time worrying about tomorrow. When your focus is on tomorrow it’s tough to enjoy today.
We need to plan ahead but we can’t live in the future. I am trying to live each day as it comes by letting go and letting God take control of the future.
Plan for tomorrow but don’t worry about it. Live your life today!
READ the Bible as often as you can. There is such great insight on how to live.
Blessings and enjoy today!
Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
There are twists and turns on the road of life—most unexpected. In order to stay on course we need a handbook. That is exactly what we have been given by God. He has given us his Word in a handbook. He has given us the Bible.
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
It took me fifty years to realize that God is calling me. In fact, it took me that long to realize that God had been calling me throughout my entire life. I simply did not hear the call because I was not paying attention.
I was too busy. I was too absorbed in myself and the world around me. I complicated life way too much.
God is not “up there.” God is in here; in your heart, mind, and soul. He is waiting to embrace you with open arms when you look for him inward.
