Are You Ready?

Are you ready to die for Jesus?  What about to live for him?  What does it mean to live for Him?  To die to self, to leave behind the old life, to give up all that stands in between you and Him, to do His will no matter what, to serve Him, even unto death.  To repent and turn from all of your sins you must, if you will truly live for Him.  For if you do not forsake your sin, you will never succeed.  To live for Him means obeying even in the minor things, and the major ones.  To live for Him means that He is first in your life, and nothing else.  I was for so long sure, that, I was ready to die for Christ.  I was ready to give my life for Him, but, I did not see the whole picture, giving your life for Him is one thing, and as painful as it might be, it is the easy thing.  What is hard is giving your life to Him, to mold it and shape in the way He wants, to give up all of your dreams to Him, all of your hopes, everything, and just say, You can have it all, lead me Lord in your path, I'd much rather follow you than my dreams.  That friends is the hard thing, but when you have done it and put your trust in Him fully, and are walking in His spirit, what freedom that is, oh what freedom.   You don't know what freedom is, until you walk free in Christ.

Thunder

Yesterday we had a severe thunderstorm pass just west of us and I was thinking just how awesome thunder sounds.  Three thunderclaps in particular just shook everything and made the roof rattle, they were just awesome. Reminds me of Revelation when the seven thunders uttered their voices, or Psalm eighteen.

Welcome

Hello friends and welcome to my blog, this is my second blog  (I really mean to use it this time,) I will try to write something at least weekly, most subjects will be on current events and my thoughts on various subjects from scripture.  I might occasionally throw something else in. Please check back periodically for updates.
