When we know Jesus as our Saviour, we will look back and learn that there’s purpose in the pain. There’s hope in the unraveling. And I totally believe God is wanting to take the little you feel you can offer Him and multiply it into something so much more than ever imagined for His salvation plan.

Cling to the truth of God’s Word! Don’t be fooled by false teachings! Jesus’ return is imminent! it may be sounding repetitive, but it’s because we constantly need the same reminders and warnings. I have made the same mistake many times, so obviously I need to be reminded not to do that over and over and over again. We have a choice though. We can be put to sleep by the reminders throughout the Bible and ignore them, or we can allow them to wake us up to the truth that is being shared.

When chaos surrounds us with ever changing rules and regulations, new expected behaviours and conforming decisions which will impact our households - choose to lift up your eyes beyond life’s challenges and circumstances.

He sees in each one of us exactly what God created us to be.

Amazing grace! One of the many miracles of the cross is that it reversed the curse of Adam and Eve’s sin: Just as that one act of disobedience separated all of humanity from God, the sacrifice made by one perfect person, Jesus Christ, covered the sin of all people and made a way for reconciliation. {tweetme}Because Jesus offered Himself for us, we have the opportunity to be in relationship with God again.{/tweetme} When God looks at us, He doesn’t see our sin - He sees the righteousness of His Son.

There are seasons in life where we spend numerous hours of the day worrying and fretting over things we have little or no control over. Our stomachs churn, our minds spin, and our hearts hurt. We can't enjoy a beautiful spring morning or a ride on our bikes because of the anxiety we are experiencing or the “what if” we are anticipating. But we have a remedy for the ache of anxiety. Jesus Christ.

He speaks one word and calms the wind and waves — and He can do the same thing with your heart full of fear, anxiety, and depression. Can we have peace in a world full of chaos? Yes! we can have it because Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace.

Jesus is fully divine. All-knowing. Ever-present. All-powerful. And, the Bible makes it clear He is also all-human. Jesus came into this world and comes into the lives of those who believe in Him, flushing away every fragment of doubt and death and infusing us with wonder and hope.

God wants us to be changed by His forgiveness, seeking Him, admitting to Him our sins, because trust me He knows every single piece of shrapnel in us left by sin, and ask for redemption, repent and stop doing what it is we must repent of! Like stop! Holy Spirit will be with you through the breaking of the enemy’s chains! He will pull us through and out of the mud! and then to offer that same grace to others. {tweetme}God commands humble hearts which in gratitude show mercy to others in the same way we are shown His mercy.{/tweetme}

Over and over, Jesus tells us if we know Him then we know God and have seen God. And the primary way we get to know Jesus is through the Bible. It’s His powerful, authoritative, enlightening, and life-changing self-expression. It’s the very breath of God on each and every page!

Have you noticed that the world just seems to spiral more and more out of control? Things that used to be true are no longer considered true, things that used to be wrong are now considered right, and whatever a person wants to believe is ok and no one can tell them it’s not.

In 2 Thessalonians, Apostle Paul is warning us about the direction the world is headed in. There will be an uprising of false teachings about God and bad influences will be louder than any other influence. Holy Spirit doesn’t want us to fall into these traps, so He gives us some tips on how to avoid believing these lies. He also warns us to be ready for the return of Jesus! Thank You God for Your truth! Your reassuring promise!

When we believe the Gospel and trust Jesus to save us, we are sealed with Holy Spirit. This is why the Bible calls us God’s temple because God’s Spirit literally dwells in us! God gives us His Spirit, so we can know who He is and know how to follow Him. There are times when Holy Spirit will speak to us by giving us a thought or an idea, or He will prompt us to say something, do something, or think something we weren’t thinking before. It’s also important to know that Holy Spirit will never guide us to say or do anything that doesn’t align with Scripture. {tweetme}If you hear something that conflicts with what you’ve read in the Bible, it is not from the Spirit of God! {/tweetme}

{tweetme}Each of us has been customized and created by God to be a catalyst for world change.{/tweetme}God orchestrated our time here on earth for a specific reason and for specific purpose and if we’re not aware and cautious, the entirety of our lives can be lived without consideration not only of our salvation but of other people’s salvation as well; their pain, suffering, and estrangement from God could be felt across generations.
We all have a part to play in bringing Heaven to Earth, particularly in gracefully and boldly sharing the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. That brings a person into the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of Jesus - He is not merely the rope that pulls us from the threatening waves; He is the solid beach under our feet, and the air in our lungs, and the beat of our heart, and the warm sun on our face, and the song in our ears, and the arms of our beloved.

With so many different kinds of churches around the world and even in our own communities, how do we become unified? We have to start focusing on who’s we are (God’s people) what we’re for (Salvation) and stop focusing on what we’re against.
We’re for the lost finding Christ. We’re for the broken becoming whole. We’re for the hurting finding the healing that can only come from God. We’re for lifting the name of Jesus Christ higher than the name of our local church, denomination, or current ministry endeavours.

It’s easy to look back to our grandparents era and imagine it must have been the good old days of our country, imagining that they really asked and trusted God, that our national anthem was almost a prayer asking God to keep our land glorious and free.
And it’s easy to look around today and feel like our position as a nation under God is slipping away. Yet we—the squarely under-God Church—don’t ever need to respond to changing times with fear, anger, or vengeance!
Why? Because Jesus Christ, our leader, doesn’t live in a 10,000 sq ft cottage, a mansion estate or penthouse, He lives in God’s house. He lives in us. The Church.

I’m certain there would be less anxiety if we took our eyes of our own problems and leaned in to hear the quiet, steady urgings of Holy Spirit and His prompting to have us offer prayer to those around us. It’s easy to focus on so many other things in our immediate circumference when sifting through a pile of to-do lists, but let’s take a deep breath, being aware of God’s hurting people that we pass by or interact with while carrying out our work day or making a quick trip to the grocery store. It will make all the difference in our day and theirs, these simple interactions that are blessings.

As we come out of the often overly busy days of last year and the beauty of celebrating our Saviours birth to close out 2020, we (here at Gospel Garage) have been feeling a calm come over us which can only be Holy Spirit. Steadying us, reminding us to yes be productive, for God’s kingdom, and also to be rested and prepared for anything God asks of us.

Our daily lives are so often a complex mix of busy, exciting and chaotic, tossed together with seemingly mundane tasks but all the everyday moments are where we can meet with Jesus. Seek His Face throughout this day that He has made. God has carefully prepared it for each of us—with tender attention to every detail. He wants us to rejoice and be glad in it.

I'd like to think there was a small moment the night Jesus was born that took Mary and Joseph's breath away. That held the shepherds captive for a few seconds. That even the animals ceased from eating, from shuffling in their stalls- just for a moment. The hushed awe. The reverence. The holiness...it had to be tangible. O holy night.
