What do I Do?

I'm struggling to find a way to pay bills right now. There's more money going out than is coming in. I know I'm not alone in this situation, not in these times. Millions of people are in this same struggle as me. Sometimes it gets too hard to bear. We can't do this on our own. No payday loan or loan from a friend is going to carry us through; the cycle just keeps going and going! It's hard to catch up.

1st, we must turn our burden over to Jesus, for he died for our struggles.
2nd, he will give give us the peace that surpasses all understanding.
3rd, with this peace and an open mind, the Holy Spirit can guide us through our troubles.

No, this isn't easy to do. We say "I need help now!" Please, just hang in there and trust Him.


Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. ( Psalms 55:22)

Love is the Answer

Lord, I pray, that we will have loving hearts every day.



HEART FELT LOVE
When you look me in my eyes,
     and say, "I love you",
When you give me a hug --
              is it real?
When you send me a great big present,
    is this the way you really feel?
It's good to open up your heart once in a lifetime
    And to know that someone does love you
              with heart felt love like mine.

(Written by: Mother Emma Jean Dinkins)

The Price of Sin!

How sad is the death of Whitney Houston?  Whitney was unparalleled in the 1980's scoring with 7 straight # 1 hits. Who can forget her rendition of The Star Spangled Banner in Super Bowl XXV (1991), as the jets blazed across the stadium sky.  She was truly a beautiful superstar with  God given talents, but then sin stepped in and became a lifestyle; her much publicized troubles became media fodder and something she and her husband Bobby Brown seemed to relish.  I think of his song "My Prerogative": "I can do what I want to do."  Well, we all can see what that got her!

*Sin will take you further than you want to go and cost you more than you want to pay!

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Whatever we need to know about life is in the Bible.  We need to pick up the Bible and read it on a daily basis so that we can conduct ourselves properly in every area of our lives.
