What this life is about?

James 1:27
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Psalm 62, Embracing Accusation, Loving and Exulting in the Gospel

Hi Everyone,
This is just kind of a release from all that God has been showing me so don't think of it as a formal email... More like a journal entry that I felt compelled to share. Wanted to share some of the amazing, awesome, wonderful things that the Lord of life has shared with this broken piece of clay that longs to be molded into a vessel of honor. He has led me to do a study over again that I have done in the past a couple of times. All times were very powerful in my life and knowing how this one is starting will be life altering again. The Word is sooo alive and active. Even when we don't realize it. It cuts and divides and heals our hearts. Martin Luther said once, "My world is held captive by the Word of God..."

Psalm 62 is an amzing, amazing passage. I know some of you are going through throughest time right now and it is so comforting knowing that can cast all, I mean ALL, on Jesus because He is our Rock and Fortress who will not move at all. You can let it all out on your Gracious Savior! Halejuah!!! He can take all our weakness!!

The whole idea of life is finding true satisfaction. I underscore the word true. Was sharing this with a friend of mine at the gym last night. I would ask you to pray for him, his name is Kevin. Pray that he would come to the Truth of the gospel that is so overflowingly satisfying.
Recently, I have been looking so many places to find this satisfying rest. Mostly, I have been very judgemental and critical and putting myself on this moral ladder and when I slip and fall, I hear a voice saying, "see, i told ya. you don't really believe all that ya say!" For years this has been going on. I hear the part truths of the enemy. It is so imperative that we know what the gospel has prvided for us.

Gospel-
I have noticed in recent years that the world we live in has been dragging this word through the dirt with all these half truths that they hear from the enemy of our souls, Most recently true most recently last week on CNN, i must had heard the 50 times word gospel but not the truth of it. Thank God for His servant John MacCarthur for being on and declaring God as the gospel.
I heard the following song about a year ago... didnt really get it but i do now... Satan has been telling half truths even since the garden with Adam and Eve... We have to know the GOSPEL!!!! Love it and SHARE IT with those who don't know how much they are loved...




Embracing Accusation

Father of lies, coming to steal kill and destroy All my hopes of being good enough I hear him saying, "cursed are the ones who can't abide" He's right, halleluia, he's right The devil is preaching the song of the redeemed That I am cursed and gone astray I cannot gain salvation Embracing accusation Could the father of lies be telling the truth of God to me tonight? That if the penalty of sin is death, then death is mine I hear him saying, "cursed are the ones who can't abide" He's right, halleluia, he's right The devil is preaching the song of the redeemed That I am cursed and gone astray I cannot gain salv.. The devil's singing over me an age old song That I am cursed and gone astray Singing the first verse so conveniently over me He's forgotten the refrain. JESUS S A V E S!!!



Galations 3:13

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

Love the Gospel!!!!


We MUST lift the gospel high! Higher than our moral codes that we as "christians" follow.

I Peter 3:18 The Whole Gospel in One verse

1For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the lesh but made alive in the spirit,
