Tuesday... There is power in it.

I just heard a leader of our country say that we needed to get together and find a remedy for Cancer. He said that Republicans and Democrats can be unified on that. And that is true. There is power in unity. It would have been great if we had come together to find a solution for Covid. It would have made such a difference.

Erin, our speaker Sunday said that two horses pulling together have four times the power of one horse by itself.

Proverbs 13:1 (NIV) says, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!" And the Evil One knows that. That is why he uses every method he can to keep us from being unified.

Paul in his second letter to the church in Corinth in chapter 2:10b-11 (NLT) says, "And when I forgive this man" this man had brought a lot of unrest in this church. Paul goes on "I do so with Christ's authority for your benefit, so that Satan will not outsmart us. For we are familiar with his evil schemes." Satan uses whatever he can to keep us going at each other but God wants us to live together in unity."

It is so true that Satan has used what we have been going through to bring great anger and great divisions among us. He doesn't want us unified, he wants us divided. And maybe we should get smart and do a whole lot of forgiving and get back together.

Psalm 133:1 (NIRV) says, "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in peace." And the last verse in Psalm 133 says, "And there the Lord gives his blessing. He gives life that never ends."

He wants us to be unified not only in the church but also at home and He will bless it. And I want God's blessing, don't you? Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is!

Tuesday... It is so worth it. It really is! Look at this, Proverbs 5:21-23 (CEV) says, "The Lord sees everything, and he watches us closely. Sinners are trapped and caught by their own evil deeds. They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control." That is true of so many. Now look at this, Luke 15:1-7 says, "Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law of Moses started grumbling, 'This man is friendly with sinners. He even eats with them.' Then Jesus told them this story: If any of you has 100 sheep, and one of them gets lost, what will you do? Won't you leave the 99 in the field and go look for the lost sheep until you find it? And when you find it, you will put it on your shoulder and carry it home. Then you will call in your friends and neighbors and say, 'Let's celebrate! I've found my lost sheep.' Jesus said, 'In the same way there is mo

Tuesday... Let's be smart.

Tuesday... Let's be smart. Proverbs 12:16a (CEV) says, "Losing your temper is foolish." It really is. And it is so hard to take it back. That is not smart. There are always consequence when we lose our temper and they are usually not good. Think of the last time you lost your temper at home, at your kids, at your spouse, at your pets. at your life, at where you live, at where you work. There are always repercussions and they are not good. The New Living Translation says, "A fool is quick-tempered." The Message says, "Fools have short fuses and explode all too quickly." The Amplified Bible says, "The [arrogant] fool's anger is quickly known [because he lacks self-control and common sense]." It just is not a good thing. is it? But then the rest of this verse, this proverb (CEV) says, "ignoring an insult is smart." It really is. I have striven in dealing with people to give them a benefit of doubt. They didn't mean that, they

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word.

Friday... But, can be such a beautiful word. It really can be life changing. Look at what Paul writes in his letter to the Ephesians. In 2:1-3 (NLT) he says, "Once you were dead because of your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil - the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God's anger, just like everyone else." There it is, there it is. That is the way we are living or have lived. Dead is a definite word of finality. At least the devil thought so and maybe you do too. And then verses 4-5 starts by saying, "But", that beautiful life changing word of opportunity even though we are dead. Yes, we are subject to God's anger, "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even t
