You are being manipulated

This week I was in the room when a Christian man past away. Death no one wants to think about it, but like it or not it is a reality. While the death of a loved one is heart breaking there was good news. Everyone in the room knew that the man not only believed in Jesus, but He LIVED Jesus. Today there is no doubt where he is. He is in the arms of Jesus where there is no suffering, no death, no tears.

As a pastor God places gives me the opportunity to help, work with and share in the lives of many different people. Most of these people are totally devastated by one common thing SIN. Sin in their life or sin in the life of someone they love that is destroying everything.

Who am I? This question drives just about every action we take, every decision we make, and ultimately, everything we do.

Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and unexpected detours. It can be overwhelming at times, especially when you’re facing uncertainty and feel like you’re walking in the dark. But no matter how dark things may seem, you can find hope in Christ and trust in His plan for your life.

God wants you to know that he loves you, and perhaps what you're going through right now that you cannot understand and you say, "Where, where, where are all his promises"? Well, David in the Bible asked that one time, all right? David asked where are all his promises. He was going through a tough time, and he might say, "What happened to Psalms 91? What happened to this? What happened to that"? This morning I asked, and I claimed, and I told God, "I have favor with you. But He seemly God did not answer. Today, I offer you this simple analogy as to what may be happening.

Being a mom is more than carting kids around to games and concerts, finding lost sippy cups and pacifiers, and fixing scraped knees. It’s more than being a chauffeur and a chef. Being a mom isn’t a job…it’s a calling.

Human nature does not like change. We like stability. Change is scary. Change is unknown. It’s a lot easier to stay with the status quo, to stay with what we know. That’s true for everyone, of all ages. The problem, of course, is that our world is constantly changing. I don’t know if there’s a good way to measure how fast the world is changing, but it sure feels like it’s changing faster than ever before, doesn’t it?

The story of Jesus didn’t end at the resurrection—it continues in us, every single day. Living out our faith isn’t just about believing in what Jesus did, it’s about becoming a living testimony of His love, His sacrifice, and His power to transform lives.

I am so excited to blog about the upcoming Easter Sunday. I can sense God moving and working as the three events are being worked on (Sunrise Service, Breakfast, Morning Service).
