Closer 2 Jesus Build Your House On The Rock Not The Sand



The parable of building your house on the rock instead of the sand at first may seem a bit confusing or get you going huh?

In further discovery of what Jesus meant by this and reading it again you will get the cooralation going and the analogy of what exactly would happen if we built a home on the sand? And then a big storm (such is life) would come. The house would not have much protection and would be very damaged.

Alternatively, if you have a solid foundation, and protection like a Rock, and a storm comes, no worries.

Well, Jesus is the Rock! He is the foundation that will strengthen your inner foundation and getting Closer 2 Jesus will do just that. Then, when the "Storms" come (challenges in life) then our Peace comes from knowing the Lord!

Luke 6:47 "Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:

Luke6:48 "He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock."

Luke 6:49 "But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

Closer 2 Jesus Giving ... Blessings Returned



"Psalms gives voice to human emotion, silence gives voice to peace"

In giving of ourselves, time, and resources, blessings get returned. Maybe not in the Way "We" expect or think, but blessings come.

Both GOD and The Law Of Physics say so ;)

God Says No Worries Too ;)



Phillipians 4:6,7

6. Don't worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God.
7. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel.

Closer 2 Jesus Love Your Neighbor



Love Your Neighbor As You Would Love Yourself

Luke 10:27

The Parable of the Good Samaritan
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"

"What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?"

He answered: " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, Love your neighbor as yourself."

"You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live."

But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

In reply Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.

A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.

So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.

He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, took him to an inn and took care of him.

The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. 'Look after him,' he said, 'and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

"Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?"

The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him."
Jesus told him, "Go and do likewise."

Happy Friends Week




Happy Friends Week!!!!!!


Many people will walk in and out of your life. But only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;

To handle others, use your heart.



Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it is his fault;

If he betrays you twice, it is your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.



He, who loses money, loses much;

He, who loses a friend, loses much more;

He, who loses faith, loses all.


Beautiful young people are accidents of nature.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.



Friends, you and me......

You brought another friend ....

And then there were 3 .

We started our group .

Our circle of friends....

There is no beginning or end .. ..



Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is mystery.

Today is a gift.

Closer 2 Jesus Do For Others



Do For Others Only What You Would Have Others Do For You.

Do Unto Others Only What You Would Have Others Do Unto You.

Whoever is only forgiven little, shows little love.

Two men owed debts to the tax collector, one man owed 500 dollars and the other 5000, both were forgiven their debts, which would be more grateful?

The seed is the word of GOD... are yours among the path, the rocky ground, thorns, or good soil?

Along the path, the devil comes and takes the fruit away...

The Rocky Path stand for those who hear and receive but until time of testing they fall away

The seeds that fell among the thorns got choked and tempted by worldly things

The good soil seeds are the ones who hear, receive and hold fast to the Word of GOD.

Closer 2 Jesus For Children

http://www.jesusfilm.org/languages/indexjc.html
I found the Jesus For Children in all languages movie page and just had to share! This is the coolest thing ever!

Ephesians 2:8,9

"By Grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that so no one should boast".

We receive Christ by personal invitation:

Revelation 3:20

(Christ Speaking) "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any hears MY voice and opens the door I will come into him."
