THE WAY OF BELIEF

BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU WILL BE SAVED.

THE WAY OF FAITH
God is fair, just, righteous. God is good, kind, loving. God is faithful, relational, active. God's Word is true, right, unchanging. These are always true. We may not understand aspects of faith or why bad things happen. We may get stuck and even rail at God. But God is who He is.

Some people reject God. Some hate God. Some don't believe God exists. Some couldn't care less. Some are blind to the concept of a creator, living, redeeming, almighty Being. My desire is that all could see and know God IS real. When God is known--the soul awakens--redemption is nigh.

To the unbeliever the belief of a believer doesn't make sense. If only they could know the beauty of a relationship with God. The way of belief, of faith, is a deep, penetrating, life-changing, redemptive journey. God loves--they KNOW His love. God forgives--they KNOW His forgiveness. God enlivens the soul--they KNOW His quickening as beloved, new creatures.

WELCOME 2020

HERE WE GO, HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Welcome, 2020!

Pause & Consider

 

A perfect year for listening, learning, and loving. Carry on. . .

Out with the old, in with the new. Kinda nice how that works. New beginnings -- fresh starts -- give us a zip, like we're hitting a refresh button. With mental energy . spontaneous ideas . creative fusion . goal setting, we boldly move forward: undeterred, undaunted, resilient in heart.

I am grateful for all my blessings. Grateful to God for taking care of me. Grateful for you, my faithful followers. Grateful for the grace that gets me through each day. Grateful to be alive.

I am so glad God is a God of second chances. He offers grace, forgiveness, and life to all who believe. Across the spectrum those in the faith experience restorative spiritual life. Life is complicated. We can derail with this or that misguided notion, but God guides us back.

Awareness of nature's wonders lifts the spirits. Delight in looking closely at the natural world: Delicate flower petals, fluffy cumulus clouds, sparkling fresh-fallen snow, glorious firs and stately pines, mountain peaks rising to greet the sky. See its breathtaking loveliness.

'The Love of God' is an old song that is a song of the heart from the heart. We could never pen the magnitude of God's love. Truly impossible. My brother plays 'The Love of God' on the harmonica. The song is incredibly beautiful to listen to.

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints' and angels' song.

 

God’s best to you and yours as we enter a new decade.
