As we read post after post and hear sermon after sermon about the Gospel, we may notice that we are just hearing the same thing over and over.

That's true (and it's not a bad thing) because the Gospel is simple. (2 Corinthians 11:3 and 1 Corinthians 2:1-2)

The way our minds work causes us to think about whatever we are exposed to. Our thoughts reflect what's going on around us. Our thoughts are driven by the input we're getting.

Consequently, we need to be reminded of the truth constantly. In this way, we control the input our minds receive, and our thoughts fall in lockstep.

Therefore, we are told to think on good, pure, and praiseworthy things.

It's a subject that Peter spends some time on in his second letter. Read 2 Peter 1:9, and 1:12-15 along with the surrounding verses. Peter makes it very clear that being reminded is so important that he's going to write the Truth down so we will remember it after he's gone.

Remind yourself often!

Life changes so quickly. We can be happy one day, empty and broken the next.

If we learn anything from life, I hope it is to value the moments, treasure the memories and hold onto what counts.

Make each day to realise how fleeting life is and to thank God for each blessing.

Perhaps, if there is one great thing we learn from life, that would be to slow down, appreciate what we have and realise how quickly it can be gone.

LIfe is a gift. Enjoy it. 😘

Not everything that feels good is right for you.

The LORD did not check who inside the house was worthy. HE checked for the BLOOD on the doorposts.

None of us is worthy.
Only the blood of Jesus can cover us.


"The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt."
Exodus 12:13

To someone out there who might be needing this message right now.

Everything that happens in your life is to prepare you for what is to come, the good and the bad. It equips you to your greater calling; you would understand when that time comes. You followed the course set before you to bring you to a point in time.

Many times you tremble in fear like Peter did as he walked on the water towards Christ, we all do. The important thing is, when you fall down, that you don't just lay there and wallow in self-pity.

You move on.

If being happy is important to you, try this... Instead of regretting all you lack, celebrate all you've got.
