5/21/2010 Inside is what counts

Ever notice how much pride and time people spend on their outward appearance?? Yes, it is amazing to take the time to have a put-together look and it is always important to have a good respectable first impression, but when is it too much??? Today our society focuses on labels, and all of the new and hottest things to get, do you notice that all of those are a distraction? There are much more meaningful things going on around us. It is very easy to be blinded when people are telling you what you need or should have, or what the majority of people have. I have said this many times before and I will always keep saying it, these things are ALL TEMPORARY!!!! Its great to reward yourself, but don't get consumed in it. It is very easy to get wrapped up in it and forget about the most important value, and that is what is inside. We are judged on eternity for our inside, not the outside. When it is our time to stand before God, we are alone and judged on how we lived our life and how our inside is, and if we had obedience following God. We should have a fear for God. If we don't fear God, then we do what is best for us, and don't think about consequences. We need to respect the authority of God, and think about if what we are doing is pleasing to God, or if a change needs to take place. Once you get tapped into God's Word, and following Jesus, you will experience a different relationship and a more intimant relationship. God won't seem so distant anymore, he will be more present in your life. God forgives and loves us, but it is up to us to acknowledge him and have obedience. The more involved you get and the more you open yourself to God, the feeling is something I cannot explain. Your eyes will be fully opened and you will want more and more, and you will want to share with others what you learn. Time on earth is limited and its important to remember that all of our days our numbered, if you were to go right now, do you know where you would be spending your eternity??

5/7/2010 Life is Truly a Blessing

It is such a blessing to be able to wake up each morning and be alive and healthy and able to experience the gift of another day!! We are truly blessed and this is something that we should never take for granted!! it sometimes takes for something bad or unexpected to happen, for us to truly appreciate this and it shouldn't be that way. Rejoice and enjoy life's true blessings and gifts, don't take things or people for granted. I was once told by a Pastor, that no matter what the sun is going to rise in the morning, no matter what mood you are in, so you can either be positive or negative. it is our choice!! The biggest thing I can preach on is to cherish the things in life that really matter. God, family, friends, and the gift of life. All of these earthly things that are forced upon us are just a distraction and don't mean anything in the end. We are all judged on how we lived our lives individually and nobody can help one another out in the end. If you aren't living your life accordingly, then this thought should scare you. The good news is that if you are still alive right now, you can start today and change the way you life today, before it's too late!! Get connected with the bible, spread the good word, be kind to one another, we aren't supposed to have the mind set of "eye for an eye." It is also important to be in fellowship with one another and get to church and worship and praise the Lord with other believers and form connection with godly people. We are definitely in the end times, and we should be coming together even more now and focusing on God's word. Rejoice and be happy that you re alive today, and its not too late to start, so start now!! Find a good church that can get you through the coming week, and when times get rough turn to the bible and on the go, get the book "Gods Promises" and that will pull you through the hard times when the enemy tries to catch you off guard. There are tricks to arm yourself in God's Armor. As my favorite bible verse in Ephesians says: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powerful forces of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all of this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." God Bless, have a wonderful blessed weekend!!! Katy Rose
