Christianity is not an arrest ... it is a release!

A grandmother overheard her 5-year-old granddaughter playing "wedding.” She had her teddy bear and dolly ready for to be man and wife. The wedding ceremony went like this: "Dear Friends. We have gathered here to join this man and this woman in marriage. The man goes first… Repeat after me. “You have the right to remain silent, anything you say may be held against you, you have the right to have an attorney present.” Now, you may kiss the bride.

Many Christian live as if being a Christian is a death sentence. Following Jesus is not like being arrested … it is an opportunity to get beyond the hell of sin and into the strength, the love and the light of living.

What does it mean to SHOW? – To SHOW that love of Christ is to allow or cause the love of Christ to be visible. We make Jesus visible (or reveal Jesus) when we show the world His strength in us, His heart in us, and His light in us.

So, lets get beyond our pride, stop remaining silent and get out to show we love Jesus!

You know I love ya, Don

Who are you serving?

The Apostle Paul’s response to the Risen Jesus recorded in Philippians 3:10-11, He says;  “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.”

Paul’s response to the resurrection of Jesus is a road map to our own resurrection. The map is to embrace the sufferings which comes through sacrificial love. Easter is a journey of hope and eternal blessing, the question for our journey is are we following the map? Are you fighting it or are you embracing the sacrificial love it takes to serve, bless, and give to others? Join me in offering sacrificial love… then, we will know Christ and the power of his resurrection.

So, who are you serving? You know I love ya, Don
