Ready for Anything
Why do we protect ourselves with seat belts when driving, helmets and boots when riding, and parachutes when flying? It's so we are ready when the unexpected comes. Right?
When we wear these protective devices, they don't restrict us from enjoying the activity we're choosing. Rather, they enable us to enjoy what we're doing and feel protected. Being safe allows us to keep doing what we're doing. Dig?
The same is true for the Christian faith. Many people believe becoming a Christian will restrict them from living a satisfying life. Nothing could be further from the truth! When you belong to Jesus, He's the One who enables you to live life as it was intended.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
John 10:10
More dangerous than riding motocross, driving in Atlanta, or going inverted in your airplane, is living life without Him. My advice to you is to be prepared to meet Him at any moment, because no one knows when that day will be.
"Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect."
Matthew 24:44
I'm ready. You? Have a great weekend.
Be Nice. Grace Wins.

Before I Knew It
We may never see the results of the seeds we plant, but that doesn't mean they don't matter. Faith the size of a mustard seed moves mountains. Commit your work to the Lord and trust the process.

More Than Enough
Jesus doesn't need the sharpest tool in the shed. Two fish and five loaves, a shepherd's stick, whatever you've got, is more than enough. The Lord specializes in turning failures into successes.

In the Majority
If God is for us, who can be against us? A jealous God asks for our faithfulness in return, and gives us a friend who sticks closer than a brother. If God is on our side, we're in the majority.
