The only thing that truly matters is whether a person will accept Jesus Christ - who alone will make us holy - At all costs to self, we must put Jesus above all. This is the first of God’s Ten Commandments—not just first in order, but first in importance. Whatever is first in our lives, whatever is most important to us, whether it is money, work, family, a hobby, sports, a house, a car, or a host of other things, whatever is most important to us on our must have and to-do lists that becomes our god. If it is anything other than the true living God of the universe, then the Bible calls that idolatry. My friends there is none but Jesus, put God first. {tweetme}My friends there is none but Jesus, put God first.{/tweetme}

Only God can work in the midst of every situation for His glory and our good. {tweetme}Holy Spirit reminds us not to fret but to be still and wait.{/tweetme}
I understand waiting is hard to do. Think of it like an activity even, worry, it is active; it gives us something to do, something to say, or to talk about with others. And yet when we feel overwhelmed by life, there is only one thing which is essential: sitting at the feet of Jesus as He surrounds us.

Imagine you’ve been invited to share in someone’s special occasion and there is a long, beautifully prepared table where everyone has a seat. You find your name card and sit between people you’ve never met before. After some awkward introductions, a bread basket is passed around. Soon, laughter and easy conversation flow. It’s odd: Even though you’ve just met them, no one here feels like a stranger.
This is the kingdom of God at work. {tweetme}This is the table and our tables will become His churches.{/tweetme}

Luke 5:31-32 NASB And Jesus answered and said to them, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” His call of absolute surrender goes out to all people: Luke 13:2-3 NASB And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. In His farewell to the disciples, Jesus commanded that they take His message of repentance and faith to all the nations. Luke 24:46-49 NLT And He said, “Yes, it was written long ago that the Messiah would suffer and die and rise from the dead on the third day. It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of His name to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ You are witnesses of all these things. “And now I will send Holy Spirit, just as My Father promised. But stay here in the city until Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.” Holy Spirit transforms us in the secret place of our hearts, the fruit of this change will eventually become evident to those around us. John the Baptist taught this when he said in the Book of Matthew, {tweetme}“Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God”.{/tweetme}

We embrace music at Gospel Garage - music written for the Trinity - God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit - and the singing that we offer Him at our churches or in our living rooms should reflect what we have been doing every day of the week - carrying to Him praise on our lips and worship in our hearts because nothing confuses the dark more than a person who is going through problems and yet instead of panicking continues with a grateful heart to trust the Lord.
