15. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
21. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5

I am speechless at the love our father has for us. He has always known that the very people that he created would crucify him both in body and in heart. He has always known the hearts of man…

We are a too busy for God kind of people. I am one of them. We need to work extra hours so we can make that payment, we need to figure a way to make more time after dropping the kids off, we need to run over here and over there, we need to research this for class…

We were made righteous by God himself coming to US right in the middle of all our hustle. When Jesus walked with us he was a perfect being without sin or stain. He chose to take all our sins at once and become sin.

Imagine that for a second. Jesus is hanging on the cross and cries out: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Matthew 27:46 In one moment that we will never understand Jesus took in every single sin of the world into him. In that one moment he did not feel the presence of the God he had been with for all eternity…
Wow, what love he has for us!
That moment is a moment we need to remember every day.

Take it with you to work, school or Wal-Mart. Remember what he said. He died so that we no longer live for ourselves but for him. We have a memorial day, we have 911 and remember. Truthfully, we have nothing that he hasn’t given us. Let’s honor the father every day not just on Christmas, Easter…Sunday’s… The day and all that it contains belong to him. Just like our salvation, he gives us the day to do with it as we chose.

I ask you today not to touch a life, not to witness or spread the word. I ask you to remember him before your every thought that becomes an action. You won’t have to touch a life. Christ who is in you will take care of that. You all are already making such an impact on the lives around you. Praise God and glory to him forever!

All my love, Scott

I was at a drive thru the other day and the man in the box was very short with me. He sounded as if he was being forced at gun point to work behind that mike. To be honest, he acted no different at the window.

After being as polite as I could and waiting for my turn to speak so that I could tell him that Jesus Loves him (that really cheers me up, I thought it might work for him) he abruptly said ”pull up to the stop line and I will bring it out” and shut the those little glass windows really fast.

Well after about ten minutes or so, he brought out our food and tried to drop the bag and run. I said: “Hey man, Jesus loves you”. Well, he gave me a not so nice look and really took off without a word.

I felt worried afterwards that I would face rejection again if I tried to bring up Jesus to someone else. I wish I had verbal skills!

I post these messages and I have a secret. I am worried. I have never just came up and spoken to someone before. My insecurities tell me that someday someone that I don’t know will tell me: “Hey dork, stop spamming me”.

Now I know that I am with the best bunch of people and that you probably would not do that but still; I feel the insecurities of rejection. More than likely because of the rejection I have given. I think maybe all of us feel it at times.

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7

This passage rings sweet melodies of calmness and love to me. God promises to guard our hearts AND our minds if we submit to Christ!

Now I won’t lie, I am still worried about what people will say but when that one single person tells me “Thank you, I needed that” WHOOO!!! The Lord Jesus my savior has just worked through me! The chase is on now! Try and stop me if you may Satan! God almighty promised me a victory.

I want ya’ll to know that I love you. If you run into someone and have the opportunity to SHARE our Lord and savior; try it! God promises to guard our hearts and minds. Sure, someone may reject you but just think; the seed has been planted and God promises to not let that seed go unattended. Someone will come to water it. A few minutes of embarrassment will pass but salvation is eternal.
