Praise Break: Joyful, Joyful

Feel the Joy of the Season in this beautiful rendition from David Phelps. I've listened to it at least 5 times today already. Lol.

God is good


Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee, Op’ning to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, Fill us with the light of day! All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea, Singing bird and flowing fountain Call us to rejoice in Thee. Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. Mortals, join the happy chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, Brother love binds man to man. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife, Joyful music leads us Sunward In the triumph song of life. Music video by Bill & Gloria Gaither performing Joyful, Joyful (feat. David Phelps)

Podcast Episode 3: Living in THE Truth

I started a podcast! We are 3 (three) episodes in. I talked about a Jonah moment over on Facebook and this was it. God had placed on my heart to start this podcast a year ago and I sat in the fish a whole year. But, I finally decided to be obedient and the fish spit me out and I'm so glad that I did. This has been a good ride so far. God is good. Episode 3 is up now. In this episode we talk about truth. In this crazy world we are in today the truth is in the eye of the beholder. We are living in our truth. But God is the same yesterday, today and forever and in God's economy there is one truth, THE truth. Jesus is the way, TRUTH, and the life.  Thanks for listening. The podcast is on all of these platforms. So please listen and rate.

Suicide Does Not Mean You Are Going To Hell

People make me sick sometimes. When someone loses a loved one no matter how they lose a loved one it is incredibly difficult. To tell them that their loved one is going to hell because they committed suicide is inhumane, unkind, unloving and untrue. Nothing can separate us from the love of Jesus  Romans 8:31-39 If you are saved you cannot lose your salvation. God doesn’t take His gifts back once He gives them. Once you accept His gift of salvation He doesn’t take it back. Peter literally said he didn’t know Jesus 3 times and he got into the kingdom. What happened to compassion? Jesus was always sensitive to the grief and suffering of others especially when a family member died. He himself cried when his dear friend Lazarus died ( John 11 ). I don’t know where this idea that you automatically go to Hell if you commit suicide came from but this is another one of those Sunday stories that were told to you so you wouldn’t do it. Nowhere in the Bible does it say this. W...
