Hello everyone!  It has been crazy busy for us since last week.  Our son is doing the kids Christmas choir at church, so I had to take him to practice, and our daughter performed in the Nutcracker ballet at school and she had three shows to do over two days.  The ballet was really good too!  Our kids go to a charter school that specializes in performing arts and they have great programs for music, dance, theater, and art.  The dance teacher is a professional ballerina and she did an amazing job teaching the Nutcracker.  We did our tree early last week and I hung the lights up on our house yesterday.  It took me a couple hours and lots of prayer, but I got it done without much trouble.  I prayed that it would remind people of Jesus and encourage people’s hearts.  Remember, Jesus is the Light of the world!

Welcome to our home!  It is filled with the Love and Light of Jesus!!!

Here is our 8 foot Rocky Mountain Christmas tree!  It is so fresh it had sap on the branches and our fingers got sticky as we put the ornaments on.

The kids also made wreaths out of paper and decorated their bedroom doors.  Our son’s door is on the left and our daughter’s door is on the right.  Great job kids!  Very creative and joyful!

The kids also decorated their windows.  They have the best views in the house!  It’s kind of cloudy today, but you can usually see Pike’s Peak and the front range of the Rockies.  Awesome job on your windows too kids!

Here is our daughter’s window:

Here is our son’s window:

And just for fun, this is how Coloradoans celebrate Christmas!

So much fun!  Shout out to all the mountain riders!

Grace and peace to you all and Merry Christmas!!!

“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

Please pray for the people of Anchorage, Alaska.  They had a major 7.0 magnitude earthquake this morning!  Thankfully, there have been no reports of injuries.  There was a tsunami warning for Kodiak Island, but that has been cancelled.  There has been major structural damage to buildings, homes, and roads though.  My wife is from Anchorage and all her family lives there.  I texted her Dad and he said they are okay.  They just have a busted pipe that he said he can fix easily.  My father-in-law can fix anything!  He built the house my wife grew up in and my wife’s grandparents were pioneers to Alaska.  Her Dad and Grandpa built many of the houses in their neighborhood.  I have learned a ton of valuable skills from her Dad!  We are so glad everyone is okay!  Praise God!

Here is a link to the Fox News report:

Alaska Earthquake

Please pray that everything gets fixed and that the weather will be good.  I lived up there for a winter and it is not as bad as some think, but it does get very cold at times and it can snow like crazy.  They call Anchorage the banana belt of Alaska because it has more mild temperatures year round.  Many times we are colder here in Denver than they are!

Here is a photo of the damage to Minnesota Drive in Anchorage.  I have driven on that road!

Look at this quote from Fox News:

“Slaton was alone and home and soaking in the bathtub when the Alaska earthquake struck.

He said the quake created a powerful back-and-forth sloshing in the bathtub and before he knew it, he’d been thrown out of the tub by the force of the waves.

His 120-pound mastiff panicked and tried to run down the stairs, but the house was swaying so much she was thrown off her feet and into a wall and tumbled to the base of the stairs, Slaton added.”

-Greg Norman, Fox News

That is one powerful earthquake!  I have felt one earthquake in my life and it was in Anchorage when we were visiting one summer.  We heard a loud boom in the distance, then the whole house started shaking.  It was crazy!  My father-in-law said we had just experienced a minor tremor, and it was quite a shaking.  I can’t imagine a 7.0 earthquake!

Thank you all for your prayers as the city of Anchorage comes together to rebuild!

Grace and peace to you all!

P.S.

If you are ever in Anchorage, you have to go downtown and have a caribou dog from one of the street vendors!  They are incredibly delicious!  Before I had Celiac, we would go down there and I would eat those up!  Caribou meat is awesome!  I can still eat caribou, just not with a wheat bun, you know my GF style.

God bless you all!

“God is our refuge and

strength,

an ever-present help in

trouble.

Therefore we will not fear,

though the earth give

way

and the mountains fall into

the heart of the sea,

though its waters roar and

foam

and the mountains quake

with their surging.

Selah”

Psalm 46:1-3

 

When we think of someone being arrested, we usually picture that person being handcuffed against their will.  They are usually forced down to the ground or restrained in a variety of ways and taken into custody.  When Jesus was arrested he had committed no crime and the men who came to arrest him were only able to do so because Jesus allowed it.  Jesus was not taken against His will.  He knew His mission and He went to His death willingly.  That one very short verse in John shows just how powerful Jesus is and that those men were completely powerless to do anything to Jesus apart from God’s will.

Let’s take a look at the section of Scripture regarding the arrest of Jesus.

“Now Judas, who betrayed him, knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.  So Judas came to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and Pharisees.  They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said.  (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)  When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

“I told you that I am he,” Jesus answered.  “If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”  This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me.”

John 18:2-9

I find it amusing that He asked them twice who they wanted.  He showed them who was really in control and He could have kept knocking them down, but He had mercy on them!  They didn’t catch Him.  He wasn’t running!  They didn’t arrest Him.  He gave Himself up for us!  Think about John 18:6 for a moment.  A bunch of soldiers, officials from the chief priests, and Pharisees who were being guided by Judas show up to arrest Jesus, and when Jesus answers them His very words knock them to the ground!  That is some serious power!  Folks, Jesus is God in human flesh!  Those men only had power to arrest Jesus because His mission was to die for the sins of the whole world!

“He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.”

1 John 2:2

We all know what Peter’s reaction was when they came to arrest Jesus, but Jesus did not need Peter’s sword for protection.  He had just knocked the entire group of men down with His very breath and He revealed to all of them just how powerful He really is.

“Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear.  (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away!  Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Then the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus.  They bound him and brought him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.  Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it would be good if one man died for the people.”

John 18:10-14

Jesus also reminds Peter that He has some serious back up, but He will not use it because Scripture must be fulfilled.

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.  Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?  But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

Matthew 26:52-54

That is a whole army of angels folks!  I understand Peter’s reaction.  He loved Jesus so much that he wanted to protect Him, but that was not the way.  Jesus came to die for us, He knew that, and He allowed His arrest because He loves us!  Jesus was willing to drink the cup the Father had given Him even though that meant terrible suffering and death.  Even in that moment He showed love and mercy to the men arresting Him and He healed the servant’s ear that had just been cut off.  Yes, the Lord touched him and he had a perfectly created ear again!

“When Jesus’ followers saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?”  And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

But Jesus answered, “No more of this!”  And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders, who had come for him, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?  Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me.  But this is your hour–when darkness reigns.”

Luke 22:49-53

Jesus showed great compassion and mercy on the high priest’s servant!  He also explained very clearly to all of them that they only had the power to lay a hand on Him because it was God’s will.  It was their hour for an appointed time in God’s plan for salvation and that is the only reason they were allowed to arrest His Son.

Jesus willingly gave Himself up for us, so we could be reconciled with God.  Jesus drank the cup the Father gave Him and He fulfilled the Scriptures.  Jesus is Lord and He did it all because He loves us!

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.”

Galatians 1:3-5

Don’t ever forget how powerful Jesus is!  There will be another time He uses the breath of His mouth and He will use it to overthrow the lawless one!

“And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.”

2 Thessalonians 2:8

Jesus could have overthrown His enemies at any time, but Jesus died for us willingly.  May we never forget that and may we always worship Him and honor Him for that!

Grace and peace to you all and Merry Christmas!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All around the world people are putting up Christmas lights as we approach the greatest birthday celebration of the year, the birth of Jesus Christ!  Many people might wonder why we string lights on our houses and all around our towns and cities in a beautiful glowing wonderland of light.  Well, the answer is very simple and powerful.  It’s all because of Jesus!  He is the light of the world and He is the only One to ever proclaim that!  He brings light to our souls and rescues us from the darkness of this world!

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Colossians 1:13-14

We put up lights as a symbol of His glorious light that shines on the world every day.  A light that rescues us, forgives us, and redeems us!  Jesus is the light of the world and that comes with a promise!  If you follow Jesus, you will never walk in darkness because you have the light of life!  Jesus leads us through this dark world and His light chases away the darkness that once dominated our lives!

Remember that next time you see Christmas lights and remember that while you string your lights this year on your trees and homes.  We would not have Christmas without Jesus and we would not have the great hope that His light brings this world without Him!  When I see those beautiful lights on that mountain cabin in the Scripture pin above, my heart is filled with His warmth and love and I am reminded of just how beautiful His birth really is!  Jesus truly is the light of the world and His light shines in our hearts and souls!

Remember, when Jesus moved from Nazareth to Capernaum the prophecy in Isaiah regarding a great light was fulfilled!

“When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee.  Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali–to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

“Land of Zebulun and land

of Naphtali,

the way to the sea, along

the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles–

the people living in

darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land

of the shadow of death

a light has dawned.”

From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Matthew 4:12-17

Jesus is that great light!  Jesus is the light that has dawned!  Jesus is the light of the world!  Thank You Jesus, we praise You Lord!

When we celebrate our Lord’s birthday, the celebration quite literally lights up the world!  It is a beautiful time of year full of love and compassion because Jesus is full of love and compassion.  The beautiful lights are all because of Jesus!  Happy birthday Lord, we love you!

Let the pretty lights remind you that the kingdom of Heaven is near.  The picture above is where Jesus started His ministry.  The people living there at that time were so very blessed to have that great light among them in the flesh and what a glorious light dawned from that place and moment in time!  Jesus is Lord!  Hallelujah!!!

Jesus is the light of the world and His light is always with us!  Let His light shine on you.  Shine in our minds Lord Jesus!  Shine in our hearts!  You are beautiful beyond description and I am so thankful for Your light inside my soul, amen!

Grace and peace to you all…and you will hear me say this often, Merry Christmas!!!

Jesus literally lights up the world and He loves you!  Merry Christmas!

 

 

I love the Northern Lights and I love that verse.  Please recite that verse out loud.  You are speaking peace over your soul!  This truth reminds us that we can rest in the goodness of the Lord for He has most definitely been good to all of us.  That rest will never leave us because Jesus will never leave us and even now we are enjoying that eternal rest that He promised.

We all need rest no matter how tough we are.  Our bodies get physically tired and worn out and we need to recharge.  Tired bodies are one thing, but what about our souls?  Oh, how many weary and burdened souls there are in this world.  That is the kind of rest we all desperately need.  We need rest for our souls!  I’m here to bring you good news!  That is exactly what Jesus promised to give us when we come to Him!

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Jesus speaking in Matthew 11:28-30

I pray we enter that rest every day and we never forget what Jesus promised us.  My soul can be at rest for the Lord has been good to me.  Before I knew Jesus I had no peace and my soul was not at rest.  My soul was like a hurricane and I was crushed by the storm.  When I accepted Jesus, the peace that flooded my soul was so powerful that I can’t even explain it!  His peace is beyond understanding and the rest that He gives to my soul is something I cherish every day.

The Lord has been good to me in so many ways, even in the midst of suffering.  There are testimonies of the Lord’s goodness all over the world!  What are some of the ways the Lord has been good to you and brought rest to your soul?

As we enter the season of celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords, I pray we all think about the goodness of the Lord and the deep and ever present rest that He has given us.  I pray we would dive deep into that rest and let it heal and comfort our hearts.  And I pray these things in the glorious Name of Jesus, Amen!

The Lord has been so good to us!  Enjoy His rest every day!

Grace and peace to you all!

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.  Trust in God; trust also in me.”

Jesus speaking in John 14:1

The Apostle Paul had it right!  My life is nothing without Jesus and my number one task is to testify to what Jesus did for all of us.  Believers in Christ are living testimonies of the gospel of God’s grace!  I pray the Lord would strengthen all of His people and empower us to finish the race and complete the task that has been given to us, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

What is the gospel of God’s grace?  It is so simple and beautiful it can be explained in one very famous verse:

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Jesus speaking in John 3:16

Think about that today!  “For God so loved the world.”  God loves us!  He gave us His Son Jesus, so that we could be forgiven and have eternal life and by His wounds we are healed!

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

Isaiah 53:5

And how do you receive this forgiveness and have eternal life?  You receive Jesus by faith, as it is written in Romans:

“That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Romans 10:9

“For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.  As the Scripture says, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”  For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile–the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Romans 10:10-13

That is the Gospel of God’s glorious grace in Christ Jesus!  He loves you!  He does not want you to perish!  He wants you to have eternal life!  He wants to save you and richly bless you and never put you to shame!  Rejoice because that is the greatest news of all time!

There is hope in these dark times and His Name is Jesus!  He is the only One to ever die for your sins.  He is the only way to God.  Jesus Christ is our eternal life!

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 14:6

“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.”

Jesus speaking in John 5:24

“For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Jesus speaking in John 6:40

Once you believe in Jesus Christ, you are filled with the Holy Spirit, which will empower you to live a righteous life that pleases God.  You are sealed in Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit and nothing can snatch you out of His hand!  Your salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone, which is a free gift of God’s grace.  No amount of works or human effort could ever save you.  Your salvation is guaranteed through faith in Jesus Christ alone.

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation.  Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession–to the praise of his glory.”

Ephesians 1:13-14

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Ephesians 2:8-9

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.  My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  I and the Father are one.”

Jesus speaking in John 10:27-30

Why do we need a Savior?  Because we have all sinned and we desperately need to be redeemed!  We need to be made righteous and justified by God because we could never do it on our own!

“But now a righteousness from God, apart from Law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify.  This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.  There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”

Romans 3:21-24

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Romans 5:8

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Romans 6:23

When you believe in Jesus you are forgiven, justified, redeemed, and reconciled and you have peace with God!  Jesus Christ is the gift of God’s grace to the world!

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.  And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.”

Romans 5:1-2

“Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him!  For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!  Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”

Romans 5:9-11

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

Colossians 1:13-14

Remember the words of Jesus and take Him at His Word.  He is the only way to eternal life, He loves you, and God does not want you to perish!

“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

Jesus praying (before He died for us) in John 17:3

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men–the testimony given in its proper time.”

1 Timothy 2:5-6

There is only one God and one Savior above us all and there is no difference between Jew and Gentile.  All of us, no matter what country we are from, have sinned and we all need to be forgiven, redeemed, justified, reconciled, and saved by God through faith in Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ is eternal life and it is my daily prayer that all of those who don’t know Him yet would come to know Him today!

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.  He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.  For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.”

Colossians 1:15-20

Jesus is God in human flesh!  He is the image of God and all of God’s fullness dwells in Him!  He loves you and He is waiting for you with open arms to shower you with forgiveness, grace, and peace and give you eternal life!

Grace and peace to you all in the powerful redeeming love of Jesus!

This week is Thanksgiving week and it reminds us all to be very thankful for what God has given us.  It also reminds me of the verses in 1 Thessalonians that speak of God’s will for us in Christ Jesus.  In two short verses, the Apostle Paul tells us three very important virtues that are always part of God’s will for our lives: “Be joyful always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances.”  It is my prayer and hope that we would keep this truth in our hearts this week and always!

We might not always understand God’s will for our lives and we might not always be able to change our circumstances, but we can rest in knowing God’s will is that we never lose our joy because we have Him!  To never stop praying because He is listening and He cares!  And to give thanks in all the circumstances of our lives no matter what comes our way, so we keep our eyes on Jesus and we don’t sink in the crashing waves of our troubles!  That is how He wants us to live our lives in Jesus!

This Thanksgiving many of us are suffering and facing many challenges.  We don’t always feel like being thankful and many times we find ourselves complaining.  The Lord has been reminding me lately to be thankful in the midst of my troubles.  He wants me to keep seeking Him and giving Him my heart in prayer.  Doing those things will naturally lead to joy in the Holy Spirit.  It is only through Jesus alone that I could ever be joyful always, continually praying, and thankful through all the trials and tribulations of this world!  Praise the Lord for the Holy Spirit helping us!

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Jesus speaking in Acts 1:8

We have received power from Jesus through the Holy Spirit and that power enables us to have a steady river of joy in our soul!  Joy is not the same thing as happiness, which is tied to circumstances.  Joy comes from the constantly flowing river of life inside of us by the power of the Holy Spirit that we can dip into anytime!  In the midst of suffering, dip into the joy!  In the midst of bills, dip into the joy!  In the midst of unanswered prayers and questions, dip into the joy!  Praying continually and giving thanks in all circumstances is tied to being joyful always because it gets our eyes off of our troubles and allows us to dip into His joy!  There is nothing that compares with the joy of our salvation through Jesus and we need to be swimming in it!

“On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.  Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.”

John 7:37-38

Giving thanks in all circumstances brings glory to God and defeats the evil one’s lies.  Praying continually enables us to give every circumstance to God and put the battle in His hands, which in turn gives us peace.  When we live like this we can be joyful always as it empowers us to rest in the sovereignty of our Creator.

“Trust in the Lord with all

your heart

and lean not on your own

understanding;

in all your ways

acknowledge him,

and he will make your

paths straight.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again: Rejoice!  Let your gentleness be evident to all.  The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:4-7

Yes, I have many troubles and circumstances that I want to change, but I also have so many reasons to give thanks to God through it all!  When I lift my head up and give thanks to the Lord, my troubles look small and I am able to see that God was bigger all along.  I pray I keep a heart of thankfulness through this season and always, and I pray you do too!

Grace and peace to you all and Happy Thanksgiving!

“May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through.  May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.  The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.”

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

P.S.

Here are some photos my Mom took when she was visiting earlier this year.  These are good ol’ Colorado wild turkeys in our neighborhood.  The babies got stuck in our backyard for a little while.  I have pictures, but they are blurry.  After the mama turkey got her babies out, they walked around to the front down the street and My Mom caught up to them.  Look at the little baby turkeys!  So cute!

God bless you all!  Have a great time eating turkey and being thankful!

 

Good morning and God bless you all!  Psalm 57:10 is a powerful verse that explains God’s character and How He operates in His relationship with us.  Love and Faithfulness.  That is who God is!  He is Love and He is Faithful and I can testify that He has been loving and faithful to me even when I have been unlovable and unfaithful.  I praise God that His love reaches to the heavens and His faithfulness reaches to the skies!  Whatever struggles, challenges, or pain you are dealing with today, please remember this one verse explaining who God is and how He loves His children.  Great is His love and faithfulness for you!  Don’t ever forget that!

Grace and peace to you all this fine Sunday the Lord has made!
