Cross Over to the Other Side

Everybody knows the story of how Jesus calms the storm, and that is a great story. This is a bible story that we read to our children. It shows how Jesus has absolute power and authority over all things in this world... but this story is so much deeper than just "Jesus calming the storm".

Luke 8:22-25
²² Now it happened, on a certain day, that He (Jesus) got into a boat with His disciples.
And He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." And they launched out.

Did you catch that? Jesus said, "Let us cross over to the other side"! He did not say, "let us launch out, get caught in a storm and perish". Jesus told His Disciples exactly what was to come... He was going to take them to the other side, despite what they will face.

Our Gracie Sings "Victory In Jesus"

I know I haven't posted in such a long time, but I thought I would post this video of Our Gracie singing "Victory In Jesus" because it's so cute :)

"Victory In Jesus, My Savior Forever... He sought me and He bought me with His Redeeming Blood"

Newsflash: There is NO PEACE Without JESUS!

I recently made a website, Youtube, Facebook Fan Page, and Twitter for our church. We were WAY BEHIND times, haha. Our church has always been a ‘down home’ little hole in the wall-type of church where everyone grew up there, but we finally want to “get out there”… so we are dipping into cyber world to spread the word that there is a good church in our area that preaches Christ and Him Crucified!

We stay away from that watered down gospel that will pat you on the back and tell you that you are ok in your sin. We preach the whole truth: You are a sinner in need of a savior, Jesus IS that savior, He sanctifies and justifies through His death on the cross, and we teach how to live for Him after salvation takes place.

Anyway, I got a message this morning that our church twitter has a new follower. This follower is a “universal” teacher. He teaches that there are “bridges” that lead from all religions to God.

This made me angry!

There is only ONE WAY to God! And it’s through JESUS!

Jesus said,

“I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE: No man comes unto the Father (GOD) EXCEPT THROUGH ME” – John 14:6

This man was speaking of helping people find peace ‘within themselves’ and building a ‘bridge’ to peace.

THERE IS NO PEACE WITHOUT JESUS!!!!!! That bridge IS JESUS!

Why do people not understand this?!?

Reading this made me angry/ I began to read… 

and I stumbled upon this passage:

ROMANS 5:1-11

¹Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

²By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

³And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

⁴And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

⁵And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

⁶For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

⁷For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁹Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

¹⁰For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

¹¹And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

If you get a chance, drop by our church Facebook Fan Page or our Twitter and follow us… Help me build up our followers!

OH!

God Bless!

God, Grant Me A Few More Hours in My Day Please!

Good Morning

I want to start off by saying how sad I am that I have fallen away from this blog! Every single day as I read and study, I think to myself, “Oh I want to write about this!” But then I am never able to make it to my computer. I have jotted down so many versus that I wanted to write about, but there are just not enough hours in the day.

We found a home and started to pack in March. Packing and moving in April took me away from writing. After the move, my daycare picked up. I have so many little one’s to watch during the daytime that I have no time to write here anymore. And to top if off, I am not able to end ‘work’ at a normal time. I unfortunately work into the second shift every night which takes me away from family & household work. I am finding myself doing laundry at 10pm because that is the time I finally have available after I take care of kid things, dinner… etc. Another issue with my lack of time, concerning writing – I write on 2 other blogs. One of them I get paid to write for and I am contracted. In order to keep my contract, I HAVE TO write a certain amount. *IF* I have time to write at the end of the night, it has to be for that site. Same with the other one. I need to keep my stats up on that one in order to be able to do product reviews… so I HAVE TO write there too. This blog has been the one to fall by the wayside. I wish God would grant me an extra 10 hours a day, haha. I now understand why  these families were so eager to take me as their daycare provider – my hours. Other providers close at 5pm. Now it all makes sense.

As for writing… I plan to get back on track.

For myself.

I love studying and sharing what I learn. God’s word amazes me every single day. I can pick it up and read the same scriptures that I have read a dozen times, but learn something new each and every time. I miss writing.

I need to start again.

For now I will  leave you with this:

1st John 4:19-21

¹⁹ We love because God first loved us.²⁰ If people say, "I love God," but hate their brothers or sisters, they are liars. Those who do not love their brothers and sisters, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have never seen.²¹ And God gave us this command: Those who love God must also love their brothers and sisters.

I have seen much hate lately.

I think we need to re-evaluate the love we have for one another. Make sure we are walking in love, not hate. Hate makes a person so miserable and eats at them. Do we really want to feel that way?

Prayer Request

Please Pray for Baby Ellie and her mommy!

Baby Ellie had a traumatic birth which resulted in some head injuries in which her mama is being blamed for. Baby Ellie has been taken away from her mama.

Please pray that they are united!

They Want Darkness

John 3:19 (New Century Version)

¹⁹ They are judged by this fact: The Light has come into the world, but they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.

“Post-It Note” Tuesday

Monday’s Life In Him - Justified In Christ

Happy Monday Everyone! Who wants to join in “Monday's Life In Him”? It’s easy… Just grab this button below & post it somewhere either on your blog post or on your main page. Then… Write a post about HIM (Jesus) Sometimes I just post a verse, sometimes I share a short story or sometimes I write a short study.Either way… Let’s spread His Word and His Love! <a border="0" href="http://wedonthaveitalltogether.blogspot.com/search/label/Life%20In%20%27Him%27" target="_blank"><img src="http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab13/jacquiblogger/danielle/buttonlifeinhim1.jpg" width="125" height="125" /> </a>

^{Here is what I have for today:}

Imagine two chairs sitting across from one another.

One one side you have the seat of "Condemnation". On the other side you have the seat of "Justification".  IN the middle between these two chairs is THE CROSS OF CHRIST. To get from the seat of "Condemnation" to the seat of "Justification"... the person needs to go through the Cross of Christ!!

Condemnation is not a feeling. Condemnation is our standing, our position. It is a sentence. Condemned  = GUILTY!

Justification is not a feeling.  Justification is our standing, our position. Justification is a sentence. Justified = INNOCENT!

Notice I did not use the words, “not guilty”. Justification is better than “not guilty” – If you are Justified, you are  INNOCENT. If you are IN CHRIST then you are JUSTIFIED, INNOCENT.

A criminal can be guilty of his crime, but in court be found “not guilty” even though he is indeed guilty of his crime. The blood of Jesus and what He did on the cross makes us better than “not guilty” – it makes us INNOCENT of all charges!! We are JUSTIFIED!!

Gal. 2:16

¹⁶Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Romans 8:1 says,

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit"

IN CHRIST!

Are you IN CHRIST?

Eph. 2:13

¹³ But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Phil. 1:26

²⁶That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.

“IN Christ”

The word “IN” =

G1722 (taken from Strong’s Hebrew & Greek Dictionary)
ἐν
en
A primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state)

This relates right back to JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST!

Your POSITION is IN CHRIST.

Your POSITION is JUSTIFIED.

If you are IN CHRIST, you are JUSTIFIED.

INNOCENT!!

Set free!

Made whole!

Made whole IN CHRIST!

Praise God!

I Have No Words For This

This is so blasphemous and it makes me want to vomit.

THIS is NOT the Holy Spirit. It’s a spirit all right! Just not the Holy Spirit.
