The road to the cross is not a passive road. It is not a leisurely stroll. We have work to do as we travel. God will plant along the road and we are the tools of his harvest gathering up believers as we go. Also along the road we will encounter those that are in need and we are roadside assistance to help them get on there way to eternity.

Roadside Assistance

Complacency is one of the greatest threats to the church in modern times. We sit back and wait for things to get bad so Jesus will come and make things better. We forget the we are in a war that we have already won.  We are not on the defense against a world in chaos but on the offense because our King reigns high and is breaking into this world more and more every day.

Thy KIngdom Come

What are you afraid of? What causes you anxiety? Franklin D Roosevelt said "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." I say you have nothing to fear if you fear God. If you recognize the total and complete sovereignty of God. If you have put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation. The inevitable results of that is a life full of joy and confidence, a life where fear is no more.

Fear That Saves

Jesus planted the seed of the church and it continues to grow. Our purpose is to tend the garden, by staying true to the word of God. We are not tasked with sitting idly by, but are to be actively moving God's kingdom forward.

Tending The Garden

Simply, he [sinful man] must repent and believe. He must forsake his sins and then go on to forsake himself. Let him cover nothing, defend nothing, excuse nothing. Let him not seek to make terms with God, but let him bow his head before the stroke of God’s stern displeasure and acknowledge himself worthy to die. Having done this let him gaze with simple trust upon the risen Savior, and from Him will come life and rebirth and cleansing and power. The cross that ended the earthly life of Jesus now puts an end to the sinner; and the power that raised Christ from the dead now raises him to a new life along with Christ. A.W. Tozer

Excuses

I once was lost and now I am found.....it is a terrifying thing as a child and even as an adult to be lost. And what joy and relief is there when we are found. So it is with all people. We re Love'lost in the darkness of sin until Jesus shines alight into our hearts and we are found.

Lost And Found

When you open a new box of chocolates there is always a diagram showing each chocolate and what is inside. This helps us to choose the ones we like. For me that means all the caramel ones go first. I wish people were the same because what appears on the outside is not always a reflection of the inside. God does not need a diagram he knows our hearts and where are hearts are so goes the rest of our lives.

It is whats on the inside

The heart of every man should be one of praise and thankfulness. Sadly we to often take things for granted.

One Out of Ten

There is one thing we can always accept with certainty, that is Jesus is who he says he is. With that there is hope, hope that gives us peace in all things.

Certainty

When I use to do Archery I did could to achieve one goal and that was to shoot a perfect 300 at the indoor nationals. I spent countless hours practicing and tuning my equipment to achieve this. AS a Christian I can honestly say that there are times I do not put that same effort into seeking Christ. We need to seek Christ fervently in everything that we do, if we want to change not only ourselves but the world around us.
