Our spiritual life will wither, if we make the mistake of abiding in the branches instead of the vine. No human can ever replace Christ.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Both men were declared righteous. Yet, Abraham's faith produced Israel; while Lots failure produced Moab and Ammon.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Your daily life with God, fuels the faith you need to face the realities of walking in God's will.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Abraham built and altar(relationship with God) and stayed in the land;Lot never built one and strayed from the land.

It's far easier to make the wrong choice when you've never learned to hear his voice.

When God becomes a stranger, we are in danger.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

John 10:5
But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

John 10:27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Hearing God is your birth rite.

The greatest antidote to the temptations we fight is the powerful reality of heavenly delight.

Oh to drink from the waters deep, to heal our hearts even when we weep. Every time I desire to drink from its flow, to His word I go.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Heaven's river is always flowing. Only you can decide how often you are going.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Rev.22:1
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

Many times the perspectives and pain of our past can be the greatest impediment to perceiving God's present workings in our lives.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Isa. 43:18-19
“Forget the former things;
do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Bethlehem's failure to recognize their messiah is a critical lesson: geographical proximity does not determine perception.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Is your heart an inn or a manger? Are you so busy, your savior is a stranger? Slow down an open your heart, its time for a fresh start.

[Jim Laffoon @Jim_Laffoon]

Heart hurting? Filled with Pain? Fear not! Even if God seems like a stranger, he is wiling to be born afresh in your manger.
