When Jesus tells the story of the lost sheep, (Luke15:3-7) he is not painting a soft, sentimental picture. No, he is revealing a love that is costly, uncomfortable, and breathtakingly personal.
Sheep are not clean animals and when they wander, they fall, they get stuck in the mud and thorns, and their own waste. A lost sheep is not only scared, but filthy, exhausted, and covered with grime and filth. The dirtiest parts are its hindquarters. When the shepherd finds the sheep, he doesn’t drag it but lifts it up and throws it over his shoulder. There the hindquarters and all its waste is pressed against the shepherd's neck and face. That’s right his face! The smells, and the waste now is felt by the shepherd. Jesus chose to give us a picture of his love for us in this beautiful story.
Rest here…. You are NOT a burden to GOD
You are a joy set before HIM and JESUS does love you just the way you are, but he loves you enough to not leave you wandering…
COME to JESUS this new year…
2026! Wow it is hard to believe that we are already into 2026. I remember (sounding old now) when we just turned the calendar, and it was 2000. We thought the sky was falling and the world had come to an end. BUT here we are!
Every year I try and come up with a theme and direction for the new year…. Well here it is for 2026…
Find THE fix
For 2026
JESUS!
Our country is in a mess and struggling - Families are in a mess and struggling – The church is in a mess and struggling – Individuals are in a mess and struggling… I think you get the point….
The cure for every one of these situations is THE FIX… Jesus…
No really. this is not just a platitude… It is the FIX…. Until we see revival in our churches and in our lives, we will never get out of the mess…So join us in 2026 for THE FIX…
Because Jesus Lives!
