Living in the Light

"Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12 NKJV) Just like the sun gives light to the world, so that we can find our way, so does Jesus Christ. God sent Jesus into the world to light our way and direct us down a new path. Jesus came so that we no longer have to walk in darkness and be pulled down by our sins, our guilt and our shame. He came so that we can have a new start, walk down a new path, and live in the light of joy and amazing love. Just like the sun, he always shines over us and lights our path, leading the that leads to life eternal! Love, Beau

Witness to Love

"That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works." (Psalm 26:7 NKJV) In the Christmas tune, "The Little Drummer Boy," all this child had to offer the baby Jesus was to play his drum. He wasn't wealthy like the 3 kings that brought frankincense, gold, and myrrh. But, as much as His parents, Mary and Joseph, probably appreciated the wealth with a new baby to support, the gift that made Jesus smile was the drumming. This was a sign of how Jesus would be His whole life. He has never cared about how much a person has, but what is genuinely in their heart. And, how many people you bring to Him. This is the season of love, especially God's love. So, why not tell all you meet, this holiday season, that God loves them, about the amazing power, compassion and grace of God's love, and everything God has done for you! Love, Beau

Blessed Gifts

"That I may proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving, And tell of all Your wondrous works." (Psalm 26:7 NKJV) God gives us so very much. I have already mentioned friends, family, one's home, food, etc., in recent sermons. But, God also gives us the beauty of fall trees chirping birds, beautiful blue sky with fluffy white clouds, mountains, green valleys, and many beautiful nature scenes. He also gives us good health and the ability to have clear minds so that we can get up and go to our jobs everyday, and do well at them. God gives us the abilities to create transportation and modern conveniences to make our lives easier. (It is our responsibility to use them in a way that is safe, healthy and responsibility for ourselves and our environment.) God blesses us with so much that we need to sing God's praises at the top of our voices and tell everyone what God has done (and is doing) for us! Love, Beau

Angels on Earth

"For He shall give His angels charge over you,To keep you in all your ways....Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels." (Psalm 91:11; Hebrews 13:2 NKJV) God sends angels to be amongst us. Sometimes He sends angels, in the form of friends, to take care of us, protect us, and watch over us. Other times it's His heavenly angels that surround us. God keeps watch over us so that we won't be harmed, and so that we should only experience joy, happiness and good. God sees how we responds to strangers and those in need. And, it is possible that those we minister to are actually high angels. It is comforting and reassuring to know that there are angels all around us protecting us and watching over us. Praise God for His loving care! Love, Beau

Giving Thanks

'Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.. Rejoice in theLord, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name." (Psalm 30:4, 97:12 NKJV) Any time you go through something significant and or major, you should always thank God for helping you through it. Even if it didn't come out as well or the way you expected it to you should still thank God. After all, you did make it through! Also, everything happens the way it does for a reason. We need to thank God for His divine wisdom and care, for leading us in the best direction possible (even if it doesn't seem like at the time), and that you are now through whatever the task, problem, or difficulty and it is now in the past. Whatever it is He helps you with and or through, sing praise and give thanks! God is good indeed! Love, Beau

Saved by Grace

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV) We are all at different places with our relationship to God, including those who have completely lost their way. We are all sinners and therefore fall short of the glory of God. However, it is through God's GRACE, not works, that we are saved. That means anyone can be saved and receive all that God has to offer us, including eternal salvation. It also means that no one is better, or less, than anyone else. We are all equal in God's eyes, and we all come to and through grace equally. In this we can praise God...and be thankful for. Love, Beau

Your True Value

Notice Earth is the 3rd planet to the right of the sun (2nd to the left of Jupiter). Notice how small it actually is. Now...

...notice that our sun is the tiny star on the far left (with the arrow pointing up to it)...Now,...

...the tiny arrow pointing down (under the big stars/planets, & far left of smaller ones underneath) is pointing to our sun....

...which if you keep going ultimately results in this picture, taken by the Hubble telescope. This is a sample of the "deep core" of the universe, and just in this one sample picture there are about 10,000 galaxies (the oldest being approx. 800 million years old).

Now that you have some idea just how tiny we are in God's universe, think about all this in relation to this Bible verse:

"Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." (Luke 12:27 NKJV) (YOU are a lily!) Love, Beau
