A little Encouragement For The Discouraged

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Romans 8:31 (ESV)

13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Phil 4:13 (ESV)


Well, I am writing again so thank God for this! I haven't written in a long time about the power of God and try to define him just a little but more. I could never define everything about God but I am surely not going to stop until I am dead. I have been talking to it seems like so many people recently about either coming back to God and giving him a second chance. The above verses seem to come to my mind so much when I am talking to them. To me, I would call these encouragement verses. These verses are so profound. "If God is for us, who can be against us" I use this one to tell people who are very discouraged and just want to give up. I ask them to give him a second chance because with the power of God behind you, nothing and I mean nothing will stand in your way. This verse gives us that comfort for sure and its so obvious. And the second one says "I can do all things" that does say ALL THINGS, not some or a few things. This mean you can do everything you have ever wanted to (within reason) with the power of God at your back.

These 2 verses go hand-in-hand to me. Not only can we do all things through Christ but when Christ if for us, nothing can be against us. I love these verses. This one is not as long and may not be as powerful but I wrote this for the people who needed to hear it. Because everything happens for a reason and I dont know who you are, but Im glad you can be my reason foe this note! I thank God for you!

If this is my first blog/note you have read of mine, please read my others! I pray they bless you as much they have blessed myself and others! Thanks for reading!

Masquerade Christianity

Wow, it has been so long since I have done this! I wish I could write all day every day! God uses me in his time though. The title of this comes from J.T. Cheek, Life group leader, friend, brother in Jesus Christ. One day at life group we went off on a tangent and it all concluded with J.T. saying Masquerade Christianity. It blew me away because that is such an appropriate term for religion in south Georgia. We live in "The Bible Belt". Most of our southern morals are based on biblical teachings. We are getting away from that now but still a lot of our moralistic ideas are biblical. It's not right for this or that ... You get it. Anyway, This is why Christians look weak to the world, this is why Christianity is so accepted into everyone's lives because they see Christianity is just a word and not a commitment/ lifestyle . When you first accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life it's a lifestyle and a commitment to God. I don't know a poll but I bet if ...

My Mansion

I am learning more about myself daily, as I am sure you are as well. Today I began my day as I usually do and proceeded with the typical way I live my life. I did wake up especially early this morning though. 4:30am came early considering I went to bed so late last night. By late I mean I went to be around 11:30 - 12. Going to sleep that late, I would usually sleep in much later than 4:30am, but not this morning, for whatever reason. Well, I got up, took my dog out and came back in to sit in front of my computer, played some video games and watched some movies/videos online. I have always enjoyed a good "reaction video" so I took a stroll down that field this morning. I am always intrigued with how someone from a different walk of life will react to some specific song or something. I started watching a man, probably in his mid 50's reacting to Eminem videos. I was struck with how open minded he was, and realized how emotional Eminem's songs make me. I began to thin...

The Narrow Way

3 "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." Matthew 7: 13-14 Read that and read it again. Think about what that means to you. "Enter by the narrow gate" - to me this is simply saying the narrow gate is the right one to enter through without having read the rest of the above scripture. "For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many." - This is something that is so hard for us to comprehend. Not everyone will go to heaven, actually by what this says, many people or most people will go to Hell because they will chose the wide gate and the easy way. By them choosing that way and following that path, they will find destruction in the end. Pain and suffering for eternity. What is eternity, I can't explain because I don...
