Word Up — I like to call it “getting stretched”
Psalms 119:165 Great peace have they which love the law.

Word Up — Start living the ripe life Jesus died for you to live.
Jeremiah 31:29 ...The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's mouths pucker at the taste. Don't play the blame game.

God … [Read more...]

Word Up — There is a misconception that a Godly life is a boring life
Psalms 84:10 Better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

Word Up — For every horizontal problem, there’s a vertical answer.
Psalms 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters So...lay down in green pastures?? that sounds pretty relaxing to me.

God knows we are … [Read more...]
