He Is Risen

Today is our day of celebration.  Jesus is risen.  He has prevailed.  He has conquered.  This is a great day.  Our Lord has conquered the grave...my sin...my weakness.  Let us celebrate.

Proclaim The Lord

As I started reading in Mark this morning I took note of John the Baptist.  He was out in the wilderness living a modest life...eating locusts yum.  What was he doing?  He was proclaiming the Lord.  Our Lord is coming back...not sure when but He is.  Let us then proclaim the Lord.  Repent and believe.

Morning Snow

As I wake this morning and see the snow...I am reminded that as much as I want spring to be here...our God is in heaven and does all that He pleases.  I am still thankful that my God is in control...even if He gives me snow.

DIGG

First off sorry it has been way too long. I want to make a commitment to writing on here on a more regular basis. So let's see how I do. So DIGG. Something I thought about while sitting listening to a sermon at my local church. DOES IT GLORIFY GOD? So everything I do, think, or say needs to go through this filter. Does it glorify God?...that thought I just had...well does it or does it not. Now if I do start to ask myself this questions with everything I do...great...but be careful to not make excuses. For instance, you start thinking about retirement and how you need to put more money in there. Does that glorify God? Maybe...why do you want to retire you ask yourself. Well if I want it to glorify God...I want to retire to spend more time in ministry. Great but REALLY? Is that the truth? Maybe it is true because currently you spend no time in ministry and if you retire you will spend an hour a month. Congrats sucker. You just made an excuse to run this thought through the DIGG filter. So just an encouragement...put everything through the DIGG filter but be careful of the sinful excuses. Later.

Hope Of Eternal Life

Eternal life...what is eternal life look like when you are 30 years old and hopefully have some years left. That is the question I have been asking. Do I find hope in eternal life and if eternal life in Jesus. See this has been my prayer...that my hope would be in eternity. So often I get caught up in the day to day. Get up, go to work, enjoy family, and then go to bed. All this time is not just about me...about me just plugging along. See I would nothing less than to be totally in love with Jesus....to love him so much that that love pours out onto the people around me. My family, my neighbors, my co-workers, and even just the guy in the Wegmans' check-out line. I wanted to be whole-heartedly committed to Jesus' mission.

Ultimate Question

So all the time I need to come back to basics...sometimes we make certain things way too hard. So here is the reality...you are either curious about Christ or you are committed. Some of you want to know about Jesus and some want to know Jesus. Is there a difference? For sure! The devil knows about Jesus...he knows things about Jesus and is no way committed...Knowing Jesus is walking with Him...enjoying Him...spending time with Him. So in this are you curious or committed?

The Beginning

So this is going to be my attempt at a blog...maybe no one will read it and then it will serve as a nice online journal. I am starting this based on a comment I made in youth group at my church. When it comes to following Christ...am I curious or am I committed. So with this blog I am going to expand on my walk with Christ and attempt to answer that question in all things.
