God told Gideon his army
Had way too many men
Sometimes we need to lose a lot
Before He helps us win

Blessed are His Prisoners
When John the Baptist
Was tossed in jail
His cousin Jesus
Did not post bail.
While he sufered alone
He found cause to wonder
If Christ was the One
Or should he look for another?
Then Christ sent word
“John, the lame can walk!”
“The blind now see!”
“And the dumb can talk!”
“Oh, and one more thing
And this will set you free …
Blessed is he
Who is not offended in Me!”

A Blogger’s Confession
Help!
I’ve been writing forever (well, sometimes I exaggerate) and I can’t seem to get much response.
Just trying to share the hope we have in Jesus. Am I boring? Am I antiquated? Do my verses not rhyme?
Honestly, do I need more color?
Am I not loud enough?
I am so serious! I wanna tell the world about my Savior.
ANY and ALL comments and suggestions are welcome.
Enjoy your day!

Freed to Serve
Freed from enslavement to serve the One who freed me from slavery.
He sets the captive free.
No longer am I a slave.
He set this captive free:
from death, hell, sin, and the grave!
No longer captive — captivated.
No longer fallen — fascinated.
No longer weary — rejuvenated.
No longer a prisoner — I’ve been set free.
Freed from enslavement to serve the One who freed me from slavery.
“O Lord, truly I am your servant … you have freed me from my chains.” Psalm 116:16

If you are a Christian, then God has called you to go out and touch the world around you, just like Jesus did. The same Spirit that was on Jesus is also on you and me and He wants to use us to bring others to Him.
“How can I do that?” you might ask. To be honest, I don’t know what that would look like for you. Sometimes I don’t even know what it looks like for me! But when I go and pray and ask God how He might use me, He puts ideas in my heart and mind. He takes my gifts and my talents, and He shows me how I might use them to help others see Christ in me.
And that’s all He wants to do with you! God wants to use each one of us. Are you willing to allow Him to use you? Come to Him today and ask Him how He might use you and your gifts to touch lives around you.
I can’t wait to hear how God uses you!

Luke 4:18 NIV
