The Bible teaches us that Jesus came to this world in order to save it. In short He came to make all things new. We are new creations in Christ. We are made the Father’s new family in Christ. Our old self, the carnal, the physical self, dies to make way for our new, reborn spiritual self.

Sometimes I need to be reminded of these things. Sometimes I am so wrapped up in the symantecs, or meanings of the words and phrases that I forget to look at the deep meaning, the true meaning of things. I get so wrapped up in the legalism, of the commandments, and the rituals of my daily patterns, that I forget to show true … Click to Continue →

Where am I?
Not physically, spiritually I mean. Have you asked that question of yourself lately?
Where am I? What have I done to honor God lately? Because that is the reason I was created. To glorify the King of Kings. Where has my focus been? On Him?
I’m trying to answer that question right now, and I have realized that I have been so focused on survival, that I have forgotten to focus on my mission. My sole purpose, has been to honor God. As our home church would say “honor God by being like Christ”.

Still a long road to walk.

We have been blessed in our new home. We have a home, a car, jobs that provide for our financial needs and usually provide for our personal growth, time for our families and for service to our Lord.

It has been a while since I have posted. Many things have happened, and I am stronger in my faith because of them. I am still working through some of it, however, we are well, we are moving forward and I hope to update soon.

— EDIT —

So it’s been a rough few weeks (rough month actually) for us here in the land of the lakes. We had a hard time finding a car, but the Lord provided as he always does… There have been some really long, difficult issues at work, and I nearly worked myself into a nervous breakdown. I am, however, truly blessed with a wonderful family, and good friends who look out for me and try to remind me that I am only a man, and I can only do so much.
Thank you all for the prayers, love and reminders to turn to the one who is truly in control…

I will return with more discussion soon.

Thank you guys for your prayers and emotional support.

May God bless you all.

Your B-I-C

May Jesus have His way with your day
