Welcome to Saturday! I love the weekend! Here’s some food for thought today… The love of God will impact your life when you start connecting and stop correcting! Randy Bezet, Bayside Community Church Jesus’ greatest commandment to us was to love him with everything we have and the second is like it, love your neighbor …

Does Jesus really get it? I mean, after all, he lived a long time ago and the things we face are 21st century issues. Like, did he ever struggle with addiction issues? Internet porn? Insider trading? Road rage? Probably not those things specifically. But here’s the beauty of temptation – it isn’t all that creative. …

Does Jesus understand what I am experiencing? Does he get it when I feel betrayed and left out? What if my family treats me like an outsider? What about when I am angry? Or sad? Yep! He gets it all. I challenge you to give this exercise a try. Next time you are experiencing a …
