it really is that simple

Sometimes answers really are simple. We don’t like simple answers, but they confound us or make us stop doing the things we think are that important. I am not a thinker or very deeper. I love theology, but I struggle with debate, with the study of end times and a lot more. But when it comes to the simple, I am still overwhelmed.

The simple and true answer is this: TRUST JESUS. With all the problems that are going on around the world, trust Jesus. Seeing all the pain that is caused and thrown around, trust Jesus. Why are things so confusing or so tough? I don’t know, but we can trust Jesus.

The answer is trust Jesus. When times are tough or you don’t know what to do, trust Jesus. How are we to get through all of the stuff we have to do? We trust Jesus.

Yesterday I heard a profound message with many good points. The one that stuck in my brain sine the message was this one. We must and will continue and need always… trust Jesus.

Proverbs 3:5 NLT

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

2 Corinthians 3:4 NLT

We are confident of all this because of our great trust in God through Christ.

Titus 3:8 NLT

This is a trustworthy saying, and I want you to insist on these teachings so that all who trust in God will devote themselves to doing good. These teachings are good and beneficial for everyone.

Trust Jesus. It really is that simple!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan. His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God. Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st. The book is Forgotten God . This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into. All of it is within the Holy Spirit. Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people. It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about. And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts. We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things. It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share. For me C.S. Lewis is one of those. He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class. It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before. He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born. It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian. He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
