Never Scared

Church shootings, school shooting, cops shootings, kids shootings, people shooting people! Why? What's the answer!!!!?

JESUS IS ALWAYS the answer. He's the answer before and during our problems. He does not change. He will do everything the Word says He will do.

Romans 10:13 says,"Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Most of us probably think of this as a salvation scripture—and it is. Jesus is our Savior, and one day we'll be in Heaven with Him. But He is not just our Savior ultimately. Jesus is our Savior in any situation we're going through.

It doesn't matter how depressed we are or how far we think we are from the Lord. When we need help, we should call upon Jesus. Doing this will change the way we feel and also those in our paths. It will change everything about us.

You may reply "But Brother, I've gotten myself into this situation, and I have to get myself out."

No! Jesus is the answer, the battle is His, no matter what we've gotten ourselves into. Our Savior loves us, and He already took care of our situation more than 2,000 years ago. All we have to do is call on His Name.

John 14:13–14 clearly says, "Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."

Jesus' Name is the answer to all of our problems. That Name opens up everything we need.

Many ask with no Faith or the equivalent faith of driving through a fast food drive-thru. That's not faith. That's earth expectation.

To have faith in Jesus means to trust Him. Simply. Fully. Without reservation.

I now that all things happen for a reason even those matters that seem unfair or incredulously horrific.

Stop participating in the problem and begin to focus solely on the solution, JESUS! Love is the answer.

There's an old saying in the hip-hop community originally written by rap artist Bone Crusher, that is so relevant to people of true faith, "I ain't never scared!" Yes, Jesus is our Savior and the answer to everything. I ain't never scared with Christ in my mind and my mind on Christ!

Scripture -

John 14:1-30
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”

Trusting and Pleasing

“Therefore, we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:9  “Cease striving and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10 Do you seek to please God or simply trust Him? I believe many of us would say that we desire to do both, but if you had to choose or focus on one or the other, which would it be? In pleasing God, we put ourselves in a “what must I do” frame of mind. It requires considerable effort to do those things that are “good and acceptable in the sight of the Lord” (1 Timothy 2:3).  Our way then becomes paved with good intentions as we strive to please God. That word, strive, means “struggling in opposition,” and that really sums it up. We are not perfect, and those imperfections and shortcomings will continue to follow us as long as we live. “Trying to please,” in and of itself, becomes an ongoing challenge. Conversely, Scripture says to “cease striving” … to be still and know that God is God. Instead of all the manufactured...

The number three is a powerful and often used number in scripture. When one goes looking for “threes” you can most certainly find them in Christianity. Noah had three sons (Gen. 6:10). Three visitors appeared to Abraham (Genesis 18:2). Jonah was inside the belly of the fish three days and nights (Jonah 1:17). Jesus answered Satan’s threefold temptations with three scriptural references (Matthew 4:1-11). Jesus’ ministry lasted three years. Peter denied Jesus three times (Luke 22:54-62), and three times Jesus affirmed his love (John 21:15-17). And the biggie and most often reference to the number three is the Trinity, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So how can we harness the power of three? Well, let’s use and follow Jesus’ example. The Father is repulsed by sin so, as Jesus did in the desert let us also use the power of three to fight temptation. When tempted by the evil one, do these three things immediately. First, pray! Ask the Lord to remove the temptation. Pray earn...

PULP FICTION

Samuel L. Jackson is Jules Winnfield, a mobster in a tight spot. Jules and his partner Vincent Vega (John Travolta), have just pulled into the home of Jimmie (played by Tarantino himself) with a dead body in the car which they have to dispose of pronto. Under pressure from Jimmie to get out of there as fast as possible, Jules calls his mob boss Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) to apprise him of the situation and plead for backup. Wallace reassures him he'll be sending "the posse" in the form of "The Wolf" to help. Jules, obviously as relieved as he's ever been in his life, utters a line similar to this one, “Brother, That's All You Had To Say.” Roll with me here. What kind of faith pleases God? What constitutes a belief in God that receives His approval? These words of Jesus from Luke 7 rest in the middle of a story about a Roman centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant. A centurion going to this much trouble for a servant demonstrates great love for th...
