1 Corinthians 7:17  Let each one live his/her life in the situation the Lord assigned when God called him/her. 

When I am at church or at home and singing or praying, why do I look up? What am I looking for when the bible says Jesus is in my heart.

There is no getting around the fact that we are going to suffer in this world.

When I think on the past, I can’t remember a time where I thought to myself, “Wow Surry, you should be proud of yourself.”  Not ever… Come to think of it…

Have you ever taken a situation in which you spin it to the absolute worse case scenario?

A question came up in me the other day.  What is the difference between a test and a temptation?  So after spinning around and around on that thought I came to… why does it matter?

Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.

1 Samuel 15:22  What is more pleasing to the Lord, your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen!  Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams.  Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft, and stubborness as bad as worshipping idols.

Hebrews 2:1-4 Therefore we must pay closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away. 2For if the message spoken through angels proved to be so firm that every violation or disobedience received its just penalty, 3how will we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? It was first communicated through the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him, 4while God confirmed their witness with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.

The other night at Bible study, it came time for prayer requests.

Google reports there are 2.3 billion Christians on the earth. 

Okay…what other option do I have? I am a part of the kingdom of God. There's no other option but to believe His word. When I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I became a part of the Kingdom of Heaven.
