Saving Grace!

What's up! I pray your having a blessed day. I'm going to jump right in this afternoon to Acts 11:23 It says that Barnabas came and saw the grace of God. I wonder what the "grace of God," looked like. I bet it looked like what scripture said it did!! "For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in the present age."(Titus 2:11-12) "God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) " But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not i, but the grace of God which was with me." (1 Corinthians 15:10).......Barnabas witnessed the grace of God in the Church of Antioch because he saw righteousness, humility and labors of love in the people of God. Grace is not simply an invisible blanket of God's mercy that covers us when we sin. Grace is the visible empowerment of God to save us from sin. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."(Ephesians 2 8:9)........A life that is lived in the grace of God will be one that says no to unrighteousness, that is humble and that is able to accomplish more than anything we can do in our own human strength for the glory of God. As a believer, those looking on at our lives should be able to see the grace of God. We all share the same spirit full of Grace, Mercy, and Love! Can others see the grace of God in your life? Wrestle with that I did that's why I wrote on this issue have a great day and let your light shine love Jason!

Chocolate!

"Life is like a box of chocolate you never know what your going to get so don't be surprised and eat it anyway" Life is very hard at times but Jesus is Lord of Lords! I hope everyone has a blessed day and remember ONE LOVE, ONE GOD, ONE WAY that's the bottom line cause Jesus said so!!! John 14:6 God Bless You! Love Jason

Tiger Nation.....

Well good morning to all and I want to talk about something close to my heart this morning "Clemson Football". I am absolutely pumped about Dabo Swinney getting the Clemson job! I think he is a Great Man and a Great Leader, he is a man of Faith and will not hesitate to talk about his beliefs to you! He is also a Great recruiter and I love his Passion on the sideline that has been something missing from this program for 10 years or longer and it's great to have it back! He will totally reorganize and change the way Clemson Football is viewed by the sports world! Let's face it we as Clemson supporters hate the way anouncers downgrade us as a team that chokes! However we over the past 10 years have blowed some big time rankings and totally slipped out of the ACC Championship picture! I know you say we have been so close which is true but almost only counts in horseshoes! I am tired of being close how about you! Let's back Dabo and watch Clemson Football become a national powerhouse like it was in the 80's! Go Tigers Yaba-DABO-DOO

Some of my favorite sayings!

1) The power to believe provides the power to change! 2) Don't dream alone dream together! 3) Now for my favorite quote from Matthew Barnett "Great men are ordinary men who never give up"

True Leadership!

The true leaders are people who never set out to be leaders. True leaders don't elevate themselves. Instead, the people elevate them. Some young men make a mistake in ministry by forcefully proclaiming that they are leaders. In fact, they love the power; they love to have authority and control over people because their egos get a boost. But they fail to realize that the power is not for them; it's for serving others!(Matthew Barnett said it all in his book "The Church That Never Sleeps" and I think he said it well!)

The Flow of Water!

Does your life feel dry at times? Are you beat down and tired from the things of this life? Have you taken wrong measures to satisfy your life? Those are just a couple of questions I want to ask before I launch into this post! Man-made religion never satisfies; only God provides the Living water that can quench our thirst in this life. His invitation is open to anyone who gets thirsty. To hunger and thirst for the water that Christ gives is to hunger and thirst for the things of God and for the fullness of the Holy Spirit. With our Lord there is no waiting for the water our souls require and need! Anyone can drink of this water that gives life! How do we drink the water? When you come to the water you are coming to a person. You must come on God's terms, and you have to yield yourself by faith in order to get the water! The release of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life, however, is conditional- we must believe, receive, and then glorify Christ through our lives! Jesus must be loved, honored, and exalted. Jesus is saying that the part of us that is never satisfied, the part of us that craves so much, becomes, when we receive this water, the part that is satisfied. Our unfulfilled desires can become fully satisfied by the indwelling Spirit of Christ in our lives. Furthermore, the satisfaction that comes to us in Christ overflows to others(John 7:37-38)! Power and overflowing joy are the characteristics of great drinkers of the spirit. But the inspiring irony in this is that we never experience satisfaction, as we are meant to, until our lives give satisfaction to others. I don't know about you but helping others fills me up! I have a dream and through Christ it can happen! A 24 hour Church in Anderson, It bothers me that the homeless and the addicted have no place to go for shelter, rehab, and most of all somewhere they can feel the presence of Power and Love in Christ! There are over 300 churches in this county and none of them are open at night to help those in need! We need a place for all people to come! The church is not a place to gather in a Holy Huddle its a body that needs to be effective! I'm out Love Jason
