Him not me

"As a Christian, I realize I am one only by God's grace. Jesus is not my savior because I'm good. He's my savior because He is good. My sin separated me from God, and God showed grace by sending Jesus to atone for and take away my sin so I can have a relationship with Him and call my self a "Christian" - a follower of Jesus Christ. My life is changed, and I'm no longer controlled by sin, but filled with the Spirit of God and free to be the man God planned for me to become."

The Search for Peace

I have been pondering Robin Williams death like most of America since it happened. It is truly heartbreaking. I think one of the things that is so hard for most of America to understand is how can someone who has everything that this world has to offer, who lead a good life, and helped so many people in so many different ways not find peace and fulfillment?

The quote that struck me most about the article below is the constant fear that he was living in. I think everyone can relate to that, constant fear and having to be on constant watch not to let the world get the better of you. However, there is hope, you don't need to live in constant fear, defeat, or depression. Jesus died so that He can fill that need you have. God made these needs in us so that we can turn to Him and be completely fulfilled, not just appeased, so that we can have joy in the midst of sorrow, and so that we can have that peace in the midst of a world that seems to offer no solace for the weary.

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

The Best Adventure

Following God's leading is the best adventure that you will ever have in your life. Keep pressing into Jesus. 

Faithfulness

"I think we'll both agree that, just the more we love Him the more we realize His faithfulness is everything."

"Yea that's the word that comes to my mind. More than ever, how faithful He is. He's faithful and that means that he is fully worthy of our faith and trust."

"And what the Word says about joy it is not based on circumstance.We can have joy in the darkest of times."
