Have you ever said, "I don't care"?

Some say it to deflect the pain they are carrying. Caring is something that describes who God is. Since he cared about this world, he sent the Son into the world not to condemn it but to save it (John 3:17).

Over the past few days in prayer, God has been talking to me about caring. I even said, "I don't care" about my desires but the Lord stopped me. I heard God say, "I care about your desires too."

Caring about God's creation, caring about your neighbors, caring about your enemies and even caring about yourself is pleasing to God.

Caring about yourself does not equal selfishness but it can certainly become selfish that is why we must care for God, others and then ourselves in that order.

Caring for others will mean listening and being led of God to help (the good Samaritan comes to mind), caring for God's creation will keep you from abusing animals. Above all, caring means you will pray and deeply enter into a love for what God loves.

Notice that even Facebook has a way to show you care. God cares for you and me as well as the rest of his creation so we reflect him when we do the same.

This Sunday, I begin a Sermon Series from the book of Daniel.
Daniel was a teenager when he and others were exiled to what is now Iraq. Back then, it was Babylon.
Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon thought he had conquered Judah when in reality, he was being used of God to scatter a rebellious people.
The story of Daniel is incredible. Join us over the next 7 weeks on YouTube of Facebook for a look at how God kept his word to judge his people and also to gather them.
This video is worth every second that you watch and more. It will show those who support Israel and those that don't how God spoke through the prophets with fulfillment being the result.

There's an old Chinese proverb . . .
“When you drink from the stream, remember the source.”

If you drink from the fountain of God's love and mercy, you will be satisfied but if you drink from a toilet . . . well . . . you get my point!

God is good!

This song always brings tears to my eyes.

I have met Damaris. She did this duet with Calvin Hunt who I had lunch with not long before he passed away. Both Damaris and Calvin gave their lives to the service of Jesus Christ.

That is our worship to God! Giving our lives away to the one who loves us is the least we could do.

Some may say, "you're crazy to do what you do" but when you know Jesus, you can't help but surrendering your life to his service.

My Father used to say, "if you get people laughing at you, they will be less likely to punch you in the nose."

Did you know God laughs? Read Psalm 2:4; 37:13; 59:8.

Milton Berle said, "laughter is an instant vacation."

An old Jewish proverb is "what soap is to the body, laugher is to the soul."

Jesus said, "Blessed are you that weep now for you shall laugh" (Luke 6:21).

Love may make the world go round, but laughter keeps us from getting dizzy. As much as you need oxygen, you also need to laugh.
Laughter is a blessing from God so do it today no matter what makes you laugh, just do it!

What is on my heart? Jesus!
