God speaks..... through a Snickers bar

Recent Snickers slogan: "You're not you when you're hungry. Snickers Satisfies"

Think on this: The season of Lent is a journey to the cross.  It is in the journey with Jesus that we find who we truly are and who we are meant to be. With sin, we are simply not us.  The people Jesus encountered in his ministry found, in him, purpose, meaning, healing, and forgiveness.  Jesus truly satisfies.  How will his encounter change you?

Ephesians 5:8 (GNT) "You yourselves used to be in the darkness, but since you have become the Lord's people, you are in the light. So you must live like people who belong to the light,..."

"He is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness. He can transform a sin-blistered man into a paragon of virtue. The Spirit changes people. The Author of life is also the Transformer of life." - R.C. Sproul

An old worship song, but still a great one.

God speaks..... through Duke Basketball 2011

Like many, I enjoy filling out a bracket every year at tournament time.  It is fun to see how many games I can guess correctly. This year after picking Duke to make it to the Elite 8, I learned an injured player might be coming back for the tournament.  There was a temptation to change my bracket, because it seemed like it would benefit to me.  I resisted.  Duke lost, anyway.

Think on this:  Continue to allow God to lead your life.  Do not let popular opinion take you from the path you know to be right.    Tournament brackets are good fun, but your spiritual walk is far more important.  In him, you will never be disappointed.

Jeremiah 2:13 (NIV) "My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water."

"To place ourselves in range of God's choicest gifts, we have to walk with God, work with God, lean on God, cling to God, come to have the sense and feel of God, refer all things to God."
- Cornelius Plantiga, Jr.
