Why is It Good Friday?

So why is it called GOOD Friday and not Friday MOURNING?.. 

If today is the day that Jesus died on the cross, what is so good about that? 

Because of something so very bad happening on this day, we have all received something eternally and forever good. 

The tragedy and horror of Jesus’ death followed 2 days later with His resurrection resulted in the eternal and everlasting opportunity for anyone and everyone who turns to God, through Jesus Christ, to be forgiven from their sins and to receive eternal life. 

So the great part of today is that what happened long ago can give anyone who asks eternal life. 

Those of us who believe and receive this know from our experience of getting to know Jesus through His Word and because the Holy Spirit enters our life and shows us a whole new way to think and live…. 

Check your experience …. 

“To us, the Realm of Spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive; never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly seek.” Big Book pg. 46. 

Lord, thank you for the ultimate sacrifice for our sins to give us eternal life, AMEN.

Have a blessed day Y’all!

Little "g" gods

Foreign gods of today...

What do you worship? 

Believe it or not, but some folks blindly serve another god in the form of money, work, or a material possession. 

Heck, some of us might even worship another human; like a movie star, athlete, or even obsess on a personal relationship. 

Now don't get me wrong, it's great to have nice things and healthy personal relationships, but are we allowing those things and persons to become our gods? 

Do we spend a large amount of time focusing our thoughts, energies, and efforts attempting to please or serve them? 

I am a firm believer of the spiritual principle that your heart exists where your thoughts reside...

Check your experience...

"God either is or He isn't. What was our choice to be?" Big Book pg. 53 

Lord, let us focus our thoughts on Your will and not fall into false worship of the people, places, and things around us, AMEN. 

 "The Lord alone led him; no foreign god was with him." Deuteronomy 32:12

Turning Troubles to Triumphs

Turning troubles into triumphs… 

Every day we are faced with challenges. 

Some, like traffic, are minor and recurring, but others can actually turn into setbacks if we let them. 

Think about it, how often do we see heartache and despair arise from issues that spin out of control or take us hostage, emotionally? 

I don’t know about you, but when I adjust my attitude and willingness toward the situation, person, place, or thing and give it to God to handle, things not only improve, but I learn something new along the way. 

Next time you find yourself in despair from a seemingly hopeless situation, try adjusting your attitude and willingness and give it to God...

Check your experience… 

“We hope you are convinced now that God can remove whatever self-will has blocked you off from Him.” Big Book pg. 71 

Lord, let us turn our troubles over to You and face the day with a fresh attitude and willingness to learn, AMEN. 

“From there I will ….. turn the “Valley of Trouble” into an “Opportunity for Hope. ”Hosea 2:15 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
