A better place?

37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37-39

Everyone wonders what it takes to make this world “a better place” you always hear new ideas on TV and the radio. There are tons of people out there trying to make this world a better place to live but everyone is doing something different and at the end of the day this world is not better than it was in the morning when we woke up. From all the ideas I have ever heard to make this world and “better place” the best is straight out of the bible and that is Matt 22:37-39 if everyone in the world followed these two commands I know this world would truly be a better place to live in. Think about it for a while and you will realize that this is the KEY to living in a better place this is the key that will set this world freer from its shackles and will allow it to be a better place for us, our children, and their children. Like everything else the answer is in the bible. Let’s make this world a better place, lets spread the word of CHRIST, lets love Him and one another.

God bless,

Beautiful Creations

Here we have an awesome Sunset. I think Sunsets are one of Gods most beautiful creations. I have seen a lot of picture perfect sunsets and sunrises while out on my boat.



This is one of my favorite places to be on Earth. A nice tropical beach I love the Ocean and I thank God for it a lot believe me lol. I dont get out there as much as I wish but I enjoy it when im at the beach or out on the boat. This is a truly beautiful creation by our Lord.


Ahhh and the last place I will talk about. I like Space it facinates me, how it works and all the things in it. Truly a beautiful place to explor, too bad I dont work for NASA jajajahahah LOL. Another picture perfect place made by our God.

Why did I just take you on a tour of some of my favorite places? Well because they all share one things in common, they are beautiful creations made by our Lord.

But God created one more beautiful Creation his name is Jesus Christ. He died so that we could be forgiven of our sins, if we just ask and so that we could have a direct relationship with God. Jesus was obedient to God and died on the cross for us because of the Love that he has for us. Because he wants us to get ahead in our walk with God. Do you think that God would let his only Son die on a cross for us and then make the Christian walk impossible?
No way!!!
Sure it is hard and we fall from time to time but he is there extending his hand so that we can get up dust our self off and continue to walk with Him.

That was truly the most beautiful creation God ever made, forget the sunsets, tropical beaches, and space. Jesus Christ is truly the most beautiful creation ever made out of love from our God. Thank you for taking me from who I was and what I said I would do in life and makeing me into who I am now and who I will be, thank you for telling me what to do with my life. Now life truly makes sense.

Thank you Jesus for everything I love you!

Watered Down

Christianity has been watered down so much that some think that we need to blend into society in order for society to accept Christ but this is far from the truth. We need to be different than society so that society sees God in us. I am not saying you have to wear a tie to church and I am not saying that women need to wear skirts. What I am saying is we need to remember that the bible tells us to dress in a humble fashion so as to no attract attention to our self. Let’s be real guys, this has nothing to do with a women using make up or painting their nails and everything to do with excessively baggy pants and pink and green hair. How is your friend going to see a difference in you after you come to Christ if you still speak, dress, and act the same as you did before you came to Christ.

How Still Should One Be???

I know I have not blogged in a long time, I am sorry. So figured I would throw something new and see what YOU have to say.

I have had something important in prayer for about 9-10months now. I get a yes answer from God. But when I ask when, he just says be patient, still, relax. Don’t worry about what it is that is in prayer some of you know what it is, what matters is how still should one be? I mean God does require that we do certain things for example if you pray for patience you get the opportunity to have patience. So when God says to you be still and know that I am God, when he says did I not tell you if you believe you will see my glory, when he says why do you worry, did I not say have faith. These are obviously not direct quotes but are the scriptures God has thrown in my face time and time again over the last few months regarding my prayer. But my question still remains how still does one have to be? I know for a fact that I am not still enough as a close friend proved to me last week. As every time I am not still enough I seem to mess things up a bit. So you tell me how still should one be when God says BE STILL.


God bless you guys always,
Jesse

Thought of the DAY.

Some way some how, we all mess up. Every day is a war between us and our self to do right by God. We seek perfection in an imperfect world. But we seek perfection through a perfect Christ. But we still mess up, some way, some how. Sometimes its with thoughts, actions, or words but we sin against God. We are no longer the same person we were before Christ, so we hate when we mess up. I know that when I mess up I hate it with a passion. So when we mess up in our walk how should we take it. The devil wants us to stay down for the count and not get up, he wants us to feel so bad that we wont even look at God for forgiveness. But we have to get over that feeling and go to God and ask him for help. We need to do this because it will be the only way for us to continue walking with God. Feelings of guilt are good because they keep us on our toes. But they are not good when they keep us flat on the ground. Remember when God forgives you its is no longer an issue to Him. So we have to get over it and try to move on. If we fall again later, then repeat. We will always over come our vices because God is with us but we must be hungry for it, we must want it. We must seek perfection in his holy word, prayer, worship in order to grow and be fruitful. The only way for us to get near perfection in his path is by wanting it and striving towards it. We are perfect only through the blood of Christ so through him we will have the strength to fight to live as holy as possible. We will always mess up, thank God salvation is a gift from Him to us and we can do nothing to earn it. But our hearts have to be pleasing to God, always wanting to do right by Him.

God bless!

Sunday 8-17-08

So I always brag about how great the student services are at sawgrass every sunday. This last sunday was not up to what I like to call sawgarss standard. The projector did not want to work right no matter what I did, the dvd player for the TV at the entrance broke out of the blue, and the adapter for the lights controller was lost so we could only set them on and not be able to play with them and the colors.

But we were determine to serve God and the students to the best we could. The worship lead by Shannon was great and the message that God had for the students through me was on the money or so I was told and decor was coverd by Craiger and my cuzin Alex. In fact today a student messaged me telling me "church was cool sunday" , thanks for that Jessica I needed to hear that. Great job fighting through the mess of things that went wrong this sunday team.

Next Sunday things will run smoothly..

God bless you guys!
