Friends... How many of us have them?


“…Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.” -James 4:4

Can you have both? Can you have one foot in the world, and one in the spirit? The answer is exactly what you thought it would be, NO! We are born into a sinful existence, the question is “How long will you stay there?” We know that Jesus died for the sinners…


“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” -Romans 5:8

Does that verse encourage us to continue on the sinful path? Certainly not! God loves us so much, that he gave us his Son to be atonement for our sins, and he gave us his Spirit to convict us. His Spirit is very much like the staff to a Shepard, it keeps us from wondering off. We are all God’s sheep, and I love it!


“Even though I walk

through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.” –Psalm 23:4

It’s time to be obedient to God, and walk with him…


“For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” -Romans 5:19
