@emilykmay Of course we all always have a choice. But falling in love getting married and having children because you want to is a great choice. Raising a family with the person you love &being married to someone you love &loves you back is something to be celebrated. It’s always a choice.
“Love the Lord your God, obey him, and remain faithful to him. For he is your life...”
Deut 30:20
“When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”
Col 3:4
He is our whole life.
One reason why things are a bit turned upside down is that we keep trying to save Jesus from all the sinners instead of Jesus saving the sinners in our mirrors. “I thank God that I’m not like them.”
You can tell a lot about a person by what they post on social media. I have seen Jesus-loving, Bible-quoting Christians become more enamored with Politics and conspiracy theories than with Scripture and theology. Our primary message is Christ! Let’s not lose sight of that.
The pandemic changed the course of the church. Raw mission is everything now. The slick church modeled after corporate style leadership models is dead. The church is now smaller, tougher, less glossy, and not as concerned about fitting in. It sounds like the recipe of revival.
Jesus always has been what He promised to be for me. He’s never failed me once. He’s never let me down. And He’s the author and finisher of my faith, which means that God finishes what He starts.
He will do the same for all of us who trust Him.
I tested positive for COVID-19 last Friday. I have been in quarantine since then. My wife Cathe is also in quarantine with me. I am happy to report that all members of my family have tested negative for COVID. Read more here:

Reached for my phone early this morning to see if it was time to get up and saw the news about President Trump and First Lady Melania testing positive for COVID. Immediately went to my face in prayer. This is not partisan. This is Christian. God, help us in these difficult days.
Isaiah 57 this AM. I can hardly take my eyes off v.11. The Lord asks His rebellious people, “Who was it you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and didn’t remember me or take it to heart? I have kept silent for a long time, haven’t I? So you do not fear me.” Dear Lord.
We’re not called to faith in Christians. We are called to faith in Christ. If “Christian leaders” can cause us to shrink back from Christ, our faith was in leaders, not in Jesus. Everyone will fail to be Jesus but Jesus. We’re all up in everybody’s business but His. He’s not us.
Save ur energy.
Guard ur time.
You’re not supposed to be willing to die on every hill. Just the ones that God has called YOU to.
Those are the ones we need u to climb to the pinnacle so that u can plant the stake of truth in the ground.
Be wise. Be prayerful.
We need u.
We all have faith and faith is what moves God. But we also have unbelief because of the world we live in and the things we see. Pray this prayer today.. Lord I do believe, help my unbelief and God will remove your unbelief and your faith will reach Heaven and you will see God!
