share Life


 

Life is precious and a gift from God.  He is the creator of every things, and we have seen, through Scripture and through example of many, just how loved people are by God.

 

Take some time today to simply read through these observations.  May God burden our heart that we may give life and help others experience God’s grace!

 

1 Corinthians 8:6  NLT

But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.

 

Jeremiah 1:5  NLT

“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

 

John 10:10  NLT

The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

 

Psalm 139:13-18  NASB

For You formed myinward parts;You wove me in my mother’s womb.   I will give thanks to You, forI am fearfully and wonderfully made;Wonderful are Your works,And my soul knows it very well.  Myframe was not hidden from You,When I was made in secret,And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth;Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;And in Your book were all writtenThe days that were ordained for me,When as yet there was not one of them.How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they would outnumber the sand.When I awake, I am still with You.

 

Several truths stick out to me in those verses, but today I let the Scriptures speak to you. Choose what sticks out to you or what hits your heart.

 

It is always right to do the right thing.  Many people have said that.  Some used a few different words, but the sentiment or meaning was the same.  I will leave you with one last verse that hits my heart over and over again.

 

Proverbs 31:8  NLT

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.

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...
