every believer a witness.

the church is one of the only armies known to shoot its wounded.














-condemnation
john 8:4-5
'but Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. when they kept on questioning him, he straigtened up and said, let anyone of you who is without sin, be the first to throw a stone at her.'

do not judge. love covers over a multitude of sins.

-compassion

care enough to bring someone back who has wandered away. in order to restore those lost back to God.we not only have a responsibility to save the non-believers, but also to restore and rescue the saved.

god forgives and god restores. (he gives second chances) if someone is truely repentant and asks for forgiveness.

satan wants you to think you are better than someone else or that a certain sin would never happen to you. dont let that happen.

turn back and turn away from sin!
do you know your job?

you are revived from spiritual death. james 5:20 "..will save him from death and covers over a multitude of sins."

revelation song.

even though i need to find new places to experience it. i just want to thank you lord, for the total worship that takes place in my car and your music.

sing a new song.

i've got new goals, i've got good plans. lord, i need your guidance to help me see these through. if it is your will lord, i pray that you give me strength and support. if there are things that are going to be nothing but hinderances lord, i pray that you take those things away. in the past, when i have asked that, there was hesitation in the back of my mind, but i pray this today with full confidence.

"thank God no matter what happens. this is the way God wants you, who belong to Christ Jesus, to live."
1 thessalonians 5:18

time tells all.

it finally hit me today. i've been asking for the true happiness and love and "on fire" feeling to become a part of me. today as i was driving to school. i was listening to "hallelujah" by phillips, craig and dean an it just finally was made clear that i have it now. i have no desire for the "other stuff" in my life anymore. i've realized how much better i feel when i give it all to you lord. how much more confidence i have that you are my strength and never leave me. i know that there are going to be times when i fall but for some reason this time i don't think i'm gonna fall on purpose or out of habit anymore. i'm going to fix the things that are a hinderance and no longer make excuses. i'm just happy that i didn't end up thinking it was hopeless. i've got it now and i'm not gonna let it go.

no matter what happens.

lord, i need your strength and confidence these next few days. please just continue to be with me and don't leave my side. i need your reassurance.

fixing it.

i am truely trying to break my habit. i've messed up once or twice today, but i'll get back to where i don't even have to think about it. i will. i promise not only you, but myself that i will. i gotta take these things one at a time. and truely fix them before i move onto something else. they'll always be more to come.

in the face.

lord, i will not retreat. after, crying all day and finally realizing how to come to live the life that makes me happy all the time. i will not turn away from this, i will not turn away from you. i want to thank you for giving me today, i really want to thank you for giving me everything. when i look back, i can not even begin to count or explain all of the things in my life that i once took for granted. i thought that those things just happened. lord, i now know that all of that was you. you and your grace. you control everything and i know that i knew that in the past but today i acknowledge and thank you for it. i thank you for everything that has happened today and for all those that you put in my path this morning. i thank you for keeping my family and i safe. and lord, i ask that from here on, i learn so much more and i pray that i will realize so much more and continue to grow in you. this is it. there is no turning back. love you.
