First Day of Summer!


Pools, Lake-Time, Picnics, and T-Shirts! Yesterday was the First Official Day of Summer! That means for the rest of the summer your attire will probably be one of two things. Either a bathing suit or your choice of T-Shirt/Tank-Top and a pair of shorts.

I know when I was a kid that's what I LIVED in! Most of my t-shirts where camp shirts or christian t-shirts. Most of them were from an event that I went to, and it made me proud to wear that shirt to "show off" what I had done that summer. It said a lot about who I was to someone just passing by, glancing at the shirt. They could tell what I liked, what band I was into, what Church I was with, and often it spoke of my personal beliefs. It was a starting point to "share the gospel." 

What T-Shirt are you wearing this summer? What Story does it tell? What does that T-Shirt say about your character?

"How To Love"


Love is so misunderstood these days. We associate it with a physical relationship or how much someone does for us. How did we get so off the point of what love is? Thankfully we have a few examples of what a healthy understanding of Love is from God's Word.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8: LOVE IS: 
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 John 4:8: LIFE WITHOUT LOVE:
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Proverbs 21:21: PURSUIT OF LOVE:
He who pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor.


Romans 5:8: GOD'S LOVE:
But God shows his love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Chronicles 16:34 : GOD'S LOVE FOREVER:
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

God's love is eternal, he will not leave or forsake you, no matter what you have done. Realize that Jesus is a God of mercy and forgiveness. Hold strong to those TRUTHS! Memorize one (or all)  of these verses and the next time the enemy attacks or causes you to think you may be "unlovable" just fight with words of Truth.

"Abundant Life" -John 10:10


"A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance."- John 10:10 HCSB
Now days we are so wrapped up in the mundane routines of life that causes us to not see life for what it is. I was told something by a bible study figure in my life that said that God has come so that we will have "LIFE". Yet. not just living in the day to day but to have a more "ABUNDANT LIFE."

If you have that Abundant life it causes you to see everything in a different light. When there are problems at school, at work, in relationships in general we have a way of stopping and looking for someone else to give us the guidance we need. It causes us to then see the big picture again, and whats the main reason God has us in the position we are in at the moment. 

God is always teaching, groaning and developing us as christians, and even thought things are not easy on a day to day, we still have a hope and way to have true optimism. Jesus is our Hope, He is our Life, and he has come to make that life more abundant.
