Time to Worship God

In this age of Relativism, "Worshiping God in Spirit and Truth"
seems to have become such an old fashioned term.

In this Post Modern World, it seems so
"cool" really cool to speak of spiritual matters, to search for God...
just not to actually find Him.

Spending time "discussing" and "redefining" Biblical terms
to make them acceptable and comfortable,
to explore without ever really grasping hold.


Always learning, but not quite to a point of
understanding or accepting the Truth.

It's like a form of godliness,
without the power of it...fake, deceptive,
deceived by a counterfeit!

It is high time....WE COME TO WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

"This world is full of fragile loves—love that abandons, love that fades, love that divorces,
love that is self-seeking. But the unquenchable worshipper is different.
From a heart so amazed by God and His wonders-… burns a love that will not be extinguished.
It survives any situation and lives through any circumstance.
It will not allow itself to be quenched,
for that would heap insult on the love it lives in response to.
These worshippers gather beneath the shadow of the Cross,
where an undying devotion took the Son of God to His death.
Alive now in the power of His resurrection,
they respond to such an outpouring
with an unquenchable offering of their own." Matt Redman



In whom ye also trusted,(In Jesus) after that ye heard the word of truth,

the gospel of yoursalvation: in whom also after that ye believed,

ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Which is the earnest of our inheritance until

the redemption of the purchased possession,

unto the praise of his glory

Ephesians 1:13-14



We can rest assured that if we belong to our Beloved we will always be

safe in His hands and on His heart.

His love for us will never be quenched.

We are His purchased, highly favored possession!

Expensive children indeed!

The Love He has for us should create a love that burns with in us

that floods cannot drown out.

A love so hot that it melts our hearts

and keeps them soft.

A love so jealous of anything that would keep us apart

that we would walk worthy of the love He lavishes upon us!

Resurrection Weekend



Our family would appreciate your prayers at this time. My husbands mom, Kathy, just went home to be with Jesus on Thursday night. She has been suffering from Alzheimers for quite some time, but is now safe and sound in the arms of Jesus. More family will be arriving next week and we will be having a memorial service next week. What an awesome first weekend to be spending in heaven! See you soon Mom!
