God vs Money

We can talk about God’s blessings all day, but if the success you’ve gained was obtained immorally in the sight of God, then it wasn’t God that gave you that success. It was yourself. What if I told you that you could gain the whole world without God’s help and lose your soul in the process? What if I told you that just because it looks good, it doesn’t mean it’s God? What if I told you that your swollen pockets aren’t necessarily a sign that God is “in the blessing business?” The reality is that people (Christians included) have made money their God, and it’s impossible to serve God and money. God isn’t the author of quick fixes and fast money. In fact true blessings are obtained through the obedience of the one who loves God, serves God and puts God first in a way that honors Him. So what master do you serve? The dollar? Or Jesus?


"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. | Matthew 6:24

Corona Virus Tagged Our World With Our Feet Off Base

It's like a tough game when we try to play fair We didn't know that this fearful crisis was ever so near  It came in with a sudden blast, we had no clue  But no one really knew what to do It struck like lightning way up in the sky and shook the world with people from far and nigh It clapped like thunder, what a massive sound It twisted the world like a spinning wheel going round and round We are unable to determine when this invisible virus will no longer be around  Morning, noon and midnight lurching down on us without a sound It didn't come like snowflakes that quickly melted away It didn't come through the night and vanished by the break of day But it came almost as quick as the bat of an eye as swift as a rainbow moves in the sky As we continue with this challenge not knowing the outcome We are grateful and appreciative of what others have done We can stand and rest assure that GOD is bigger than any virus we know And he wil

Who Are You?

If God said it, believe it. Everyone walks through life looking for their identity. Looking for meaning and purpose. Often times we look in the wrong places. It can be any noun under the sun; people, places and things. But true identity can be found in the security of God. God says that you're His son. God says that you're His daughter. So if God says these things, why not believe it? The problem is that we are listening to the world. We're listening to the media. We're listening to the opinions of other people. We're listening to rejection. We're listening to the lies of the enemy. But what about that still small voice that speaks to us all of the time? That still small voice that doesn't lie to you but instead constantly reminds you that you are His. That still small voice that shows patience. That still small voice that waits for you and welcomes you back with open arms. That still small voice that affirms you as His own. This still small voice made

Gifted

You were gifted with a gift.  You were created with a passion Designed for a purpose, not for form or fashion. You were gifted with a gift Bigger than your mistakes It waits in eager anticipation Your purpose never waits. You were gifted with a gift The time is now The world needs your story But the question is how? You were gifted with a gift Yet the gift may be hidden It seems nonexistent  Almost bed ridden. You were gifted with a gift It's time to bring it to life It may seem irrelevant But someone needs your light. You were gifted with a gift Your life He did save Your sins washed away Your purpose doth made. I know you've been slept on It was all for a reason But hear me when I say Tomorrow is your season. So for today fear not For growth takes time For now, use what you got In His Will, you'll be just fine.
