Man Two Man

We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord

Thought of the day….

Last night I told many of our youth at church about an urgent prayer request, of a young collage age student named Vitoria that had been in a violent auto accident. The doctors had told her parents that she would not make it through the night. I asked you to pray for her for healing and for her parents for comfort and the young girl that she have peace. I regret to tell you that Victoria went home to be with our Lord this morning. God did answer our prayers, just not in our worldly ways. She is no longer suffering and is in praise and worship with the father. As a parent it breaks my heart and I ask you to continue to pray for her parents and the young girl that caused the accident, for peace.

Today I simply asked you to pray.

7. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

Thought of the day….

I used to tease some of the youth at church that God is always with you and see everything you do. He’s with you when you’re out and about and he even with you when you’re naked. So when we are blatantly defying His word, He is not far away.  No, I can’t explain it, I just except it. How can God be everywhere at all times? There are so many other references that God is “Omnipresent.” Genesis 28:15 What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. Job 31:4 Doesn’t he see everything I do and every step I take? Jeremiah 23:23 Am I a God who is only close at hand?” says the Lord. “No, I am far away at the same time. Psalm 145:18 The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. Hebrews 13:5 I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” Like I said, I can’t explain it but I believe it and am thankful for it.

Today I ask, do you feel Him with you always?

“Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.

Thought of the day….

He is risen! Yesterday was Easter, with the exception of Christmas it is the most celebrated Christian holiday. Without the risen Christ, the Christian faith is not any different than other religions of the world. The rising of Christ from the dead in fulfillment of scripture for the forgiveness of sins is the center of the Christian faith. We celebrate not only the rising of our Lord and savior from the dead but we are publicly announcing our faith that He is the risen Lord, the son of God.

Today I ask, will you celebrate and announce Christ is the risen Lord and son of God?

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

 Thought of the day….

 What can I do to be saved? Nothing! I know people today that have told me they couldn’t come to church or have a relationship with Christ until they made some changes in their lives or they had done some things that God surly could not forgive. As today’s verse says, it’s about GRACE not works. It’s about GRACE not about being worthy. It’s a FREE gift of God. All you must do is ask.

Today I ask, what must you do to be saved? Nothing but ask. 

Thought of the day….

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

24. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.

Thought of the day….

Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy week, the beginning of the last days of Jesus’ life. Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus arrival into Jerusalem and being greeted with praise. Only a few short days from then those same people would shout “crucify Him” and turn their backs on Him, a crucifixion that caused horrific death. As we enter into Holy week, I ask you to be in prayer and be mindful of the death that Jesus freely gave up for you so our sins would be forgiven.

Today I ask, are you mindful of what Jesus freely did for you?
