Do you ever “catch on” to a word or phrase and for the first time it sticks and you have a new understanding of what you’ve been listening to for the last 10 years? Thanks so much to the ministers who go over the basics on a regular basis. I know you probably get tired of it but sometimes a great “word picture” or even a diagram makes all the difference in the world. I’m really thrilled to be sharing my “aha” moment regarding the Spirit, Soul and Body. Yes I know super basic teaching but this morning a simple picture brought everything full circle.

Stand up! Stand up 4 Jesus!
During times of great tragedy we need to not act like those with no hope. Some how somewhere over the years Jesus and all he did was lost in the translation.
Jesus and God are not the ones that the Bible says are here to kill, steal, and destroy. It’s someone else. In fact it’s a defeated someone else. As Christians we “need to use our heads for more than just hat rack.” Let’s put on our thinking caps and set folks straight.
God does not roam around like a lion seeking whom he can destroy. God is love. And God LOVES us that he sent his son Jesus to die for our sins and so much more. Let’s Stand up for Jesus and Stand up for God! Let’s get the record straight for the lost and babes in Christ. The last thing a babe in Christ needs to hear is some ignorant but meaning well Christian to pull the “God took him to be with him” card or the “This happened so God would get glory out of it somehow in the long run but we really don’t know what or how because he works in mysterious ways.”
If you don’t know what to say then remain silent. But don’t take the one thing that a Babe needs during a time of tragedy away from them. It’s so hard to trust in a God that people are telling you “took” your loved ones.
I Know I’m probably rubbing some of you the wrong way. So I suggest you turn around… We just don’t have the luxury of spreading ignorance anymore. People are dying and suffering and they need the TRUTH!
By the way…big shout out to all you straight forward no nonsense ministers of the GOSPEL! We need you!

As we remember those for their service and sacrifice…Great time to reflect on the greatest sacrifice of all.
Joh_3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Have a great Memorial Weekend and Thank you to all those that have served and sacrificed their life and time away from their families.
Time and laughs
2 things that can brighten someone’s day. Share those 2 great ministry gifts with someone today. Time & Laughs
Don’t have much 2 give?? I bet U Do
People r always thinking wrong when they think they don’t have much 2 give or they don’t have the skills 2 b helpful. If u know someone n ministry that spends time helping others U might b surprised 2 know that if u can laugh, drink coffee or tea, eat out or cook toast u may b just what somebody needs. Invite a ministry friend over or out 4 toast, coffee, & some laughs. U might just B surprised.
Happy He is Risen day!
There r numerous names for tomorrow. ” I get to eat beef day”, I get to have chocolate day, Lent is over day, Easter, Resurrection Sunday, and the list goes on.
But, I think we r all on the same page when we stop 2 celebrate the life that Jesus gave us. When we remember what his death accomplished. So much was accomplished in one day even Jesus himself shouted “It is finished!” Just so we wouldn’t forget. One sacrifice for all for all time. No more bringing chickens, doves, pigs, grains etc. to the priest for when you sin. Jesus paid it all for all for all time.
Don’t get caught up in the technicalities of theologians arguing these days. Let’s focus on what was accomplished on the cross and not get lost in the arguments. When He said “It is finished!” he didn’t say ” It’s finished so you can argue about what happened for the next 2000 years”.
Let us put our arguments aside and focus on The life and purpose that God has given all of us He paid a very expensive price and so we could live and look forward to being with Him one day.
Let’s bury our past, our old fleshly man and the fleshly way of doing things. It’s time to resurrect Christ in our hearts, lives, and Churches.
He is Risen!

Have you checked the App Store?
I recently searched for Ministry Apps. Wow… it’s amazing. If you have a unpredictable schedule these ministry apps are great. Listen to teaching, read devotions, check the event schedules. Thoroughly enjoying the Mark Hankins Ministry app. It’s good to laugh at ourselves, our situations, and the Devil … Ha Ha Ha… I get it now!!!
I think it said there were 734 apps the last time I checked. Surely there is an Ministry app out there 4 U.

Is Sickness your Friend? Improving communication skills.
“You know I just don’t feel like it today. Maybe some other time.” How many times have we heard people say that? Sometimes it may be true but how many of us have said that and were not thinking? Few hours later hmmmm…I don’t feel very good.
How many times have you used sickness to bail you out of a situation? In that instant. Sickness became your Best Friend. I know it is a difficult thing to just be honest and say…”You know…I’m just not interested in going to that. We can find something else to do later but I want you to go ahead and enjoy that activity with someone else who likes to go shopping at 4:00 am. Have fun… let me know all about it.”
“You know I just bought a fresh steak and I just want to stay home cook a great meal and read a book tonight.” Yes I have literally said that… and you know my friends survived a night without me. They know I’m a great cook so they understood although they were disappointed.
Just being honest with people will set the stage for being a healthier person. When we lie to people it has a tendency to cause stress in our own body. The truth will set you free and in this case keep you free from making yourself sick.
Need to improve your communication skills. Dr. Gary Chapman (Five Love Languages…etc) Website is a great place to start for learning the art of communication for any relationship.
Let’s keep ourselves healthy by NOT using sickness as an excuse when we would be better off communicating honestly with people.

Lord bless r sister & renew her. We all make mistakes. #Christianity #relationships #grace
