Take a taste test!



Every been in the kitchen when mom was cooking something and she says come taste this and see how it is!!! I don't recall ever being disappointed! The psalmist of Psalm 34 challenges us to the same thing with God:

Psalm 34:8

8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Some may say how do we taste the Lord??? Well just look around! watch a sunrise, watch a sunset, look at your children, look at your spouse, watch it rain, eat some food, read your bible, pray, and the list goes on. God is awesome and we are blessed....taste Him for yourself and see!

The number one way we see the Lord is good is through Jesus. God sent His son to die for you and I. Anyone who puts their trust in Jesus will see how blessed they are and how good God is!!! Oh the love God has shown us through Jesus. We sure don't deserve it but God loves us that much!

So on this Monday stop and taste and see how great God is....you won't be disappointed!

Fire in your soul!



Oh brothers and sisters I pray we all have a fire in our souls for our Lord and Savior Jesus! Do you have it or does the embers need to be stirred? When we have that fire we become a light for the world to see! Light my fire Lord and may it become a forest fire to your glory and honor!!

Psalm 43:3
3 Oh, send out Your light and Your truth!
Let them lead me;
Let them bring me to Your holy hill
And to Your tabernacle.

Matthew 5:16
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Jeremiah 20:9
9 Then I said, “I will not make mention of Him,
Nor speak anymore in His name.”
But His word was in my heart like a burning fire
Shut up in my bones;
I was weary of holding it back,
And I could not.

Luke 24:32
32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

Here is a great song from Unspoken called "Start a Fire". Worship and pray for the fire in all Saints to be light for the glory of the Lord!

Called to be Holy! 5-7-15

God doesn't owe us a thing! 5-6-15

What are you shouting?



Your life and your words are shouting something, what is it? Is it greed, money, love, racism, pride, self-control, love of an idol, worship of a celebrity, or a million other choices? For the follower of Jesus our lives should shout the love of Jesus and His gospel. Are you keeping Him a secret or are you shouting Him from the roof tops?

Matthew 10:27 
27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.

Romans 1:16 
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Mark 8:38
38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

I pray this morning that we are not ashamed of Jesus and shout out to all who He is, how wonderful He is, how much He loves us, the mercy He has shown us, the grace He has given us, and that He died for each of us so we can live forever with Him!!! That is worthy to SHOUT, amen?

So what are you shouting this day? It just may reveal much about your heart!

Here is an awesome song to worship the King too! Rooftops by Jesus Culture
