I have no hope other than in Christ Jesus. He is my rock and my foundation. Jesus was and is today the perfect, sinless, blameless, revealation of God to man. Today, I look around me and I see a Christianity in America that does not look like Jesus. We have incorporated this American Dream, this pursuit of happiness, with the message and the gospel of Christ. We "Christians" entice people into salvation w/ blessings and perks. That's not the gospel that Jesus preached. Read Matthew 19:16-24. Jesus was asked "what must I do to be saved?" In the end, Jesus exposes the idol in the man's heart and told him that he must give up everything. The man couldn't do it. Jesus didn't run after the man to try and entice him into following Him. Jesus calls us to live selfLESS lives and Love God with EVERYTHING that we are and to Love others as ourselves, which in turn leaves NO room for self at all. In the name of Jesus, we are to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit those in prison; MEET NEEDS. You just don't see that in "America's Church". Our Christian books stores are filled with SELF-HELP material. Again, that's not what Jesus called us to.

Christians... WAKE UP! Get out of YOUR world and get into the will of our Father in Heaven which is MERCY. Stop kicking the people in your church that are hurting. Stop judging the people of this world. LOVE THEM. Jesus said "judge NOT, lest you be judged".

Non-Christians... I LOVE YOU. I Love everyone because Christ's Love is my love.

My prayer is that everyone who reads this will be blessed and encouraged. If there is anything in your life that seems too overwhelming to handle, Jesus can take care of it.

LIVE YOUR LIFE POURED OUT OF SELF AND LET GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT FLOW THROUGH YOU.

ALL GLORY TO GOD.
