What’s so, not so, and just won’t go. Man, what’s Easter all about?

What’s true, what's untrue, why stew -- why are ya feelin' so blue? 

Got some broken dreams or friendships? Broken lives and relationships.. I mean broke off outward, upward.. they don’t really have to stay broke forever. That’s what it’s about. 

I am feelin' amped over my favorite holiday.. all stoked inside, totally thrilled and grateful for Easter.

“I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God. § I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.” See Job 19:25–26; and Psalm 17:15

Q. How could the greatest crime of all time actually be good for us? I'm talkin' about Easter. Prestonwood.Live

Right now does it look like a dark Friday in your life? It’s Friday but Sunday’s coming!

It’s Good Friday and I’m good with it (happy inside) – Good Friday to you! You can enjoy communion and fellowship. Harvest.org/Live

It sure was good for me. For you too. The Bible says... 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

What’s not so and so today? I can only earn a life I love by doing things I hate doing. False. I can gain that beautiful life of grace.. one that I’d really enJOY.. by doing religious stuff or other things I can’t stand. False. 

Real FREEdom is a gift; it’s what Easter (a.k.a. Ress-day) is all about. True! I’m good with it. Good Friday, it sure was good for us. I am responsible to change people, to convince them, to save em, and to change this world. False. 

I am responsible for any problem in my close proximity. False. I am responsible for all of my personal choices. True. I cannot reasonably ask for an abundant life in this world that's filled with so much suffering. False. 

I can't reasonably turn from wrong-doin's and ask for or a free unending life--the one I was meant to experience. False. That's why we celebrate Christ and Easter. 

Listen, you can live the life that you were always meant to enjoy. True. You can obey the Lord in the power of His Spirit with JOY, GLADNESS, ENTHUSIASM, PEACE and obey those flawed delegated authorities over you as well.. short of sin. And you can make a good impact in this world -- it's from Him really. Yeah, Jesus is the one that does that and for some reason that I really don't fully get.. He still delights to use us people for His glory. True. Read through the Bible His love letter to believers everywhere!

I am the sum of other people’s opinions of me -- I must become what they say I’ll be. False. Misdirection, fake news, and then living ill-informed or confused to various degrees.. are good for you. False. 

Relationships are meant to be hard and complicated -- they’ve been designed to be this way. False. Broken people with broken hearts, broken dreams, and broken relationships -- it just need to stay that way minus God’s comfort, healing or restoration. False. 

Living disloyal or with deception in mind.. or with spiritual-compromise, or with selfish-lust, and greed, and fear, or feelin’ all angry at God or people, or with that emptiness, boredom or infidelity.. is natural for people. False. 

In Christ you can have a new start. True. You can be forgiven, you can enjoy real life -- life more abundantly, yup non-stop for all eternity. True!

The restlessness inside was my godlessness, but now I enjoy His rest. Man, freely forgiven ain’t at all overrated. Let Jesus take over the reigns of your life and learn of Him. 

“For whoever enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart..” Hebrews 4:10–12

Come to.. or come back to Him! No puttin’ it off, no lame excuses. Follow Christ closely. Know Him well, make Him well known, start right now. You won’t regret it.  E v e r !

Clearly hear, continue to hear and grow in grace and truth.. muse on, get, wisely apply the Good News and go tactfully tell.

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10

Listen, pray for, share.. showing respect for all people. Expect God to honor His Word and do the work. The Message doesn't return void.  

In a couple days it's Easter.

Where will you go? Think I'll be takin' that trip past my livin'-room to the loft to do Easter this year. (Yeah, here).  And you?.. bring your sis, dad, brother or mother. Facebook.com/shareJesus

And Jesus awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39)

He being Jesus can still do that stuff. The winds blow, but He loves you and has a good plan. Does an area of your life need some calm?

Good idea: Why not we today go to / take some friends to Him.. yeah, and prep for makin' it to a healthy Bible teaching Christian church (instead of to some dead / anemic / or merely religious sorta one cuz who really wants to become like that?) ..this coming Ress-day /

 a.k.a. Easter. We want to be transformed, to know, and to walk with Him!

I love a Good Res and Resurrection-day! Happy Easter To You and Yours!

Done.. it is finished by a Finisher. If we start right.. it's good to run right and it's good for us to finish too.

Thinkin' 'bout Spring and some rapidly approaching days...

..days to celebrate on! The death-look of Winter all around is almost behind us and new life is almost here! Love seein' the green and blooms. Liney has already been outside planting things that will flower lately. Are you as ampted as I am? What have you been up to? 

Thinkin’ ’bout April 13 2014 and what happened with all those wavin’ palm fronds and cheers. Thinkin’ ‘bout April 17 and that last warm-hearted meal-gatherin’—a final Passover supper together with the beloved team. You remember how it played out back in the day. Why not read it again!  

“Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in spring-time.” ~ Herr Martin Luther

The truly repentant sinner is kinda grabbed-hold of by their lapels if ya will. He or she is seized with the enormity of his or her sin in the light of Calvary’s Cross, and they refuse to ignore or excuse it any longer. He or she points no finger of blame at anyone else, but quickly addresses their own sin and comes to terms with it, with the help of the living God. 

Thinkin’ ‘bout April 18 and that darkened, cloudy Friday afternoon..on a lonely hill far away.   

Thinkin’ about a hurting mother’s tears on the ground, and even more with a man that didn’t do any wrong. Her son and leader who gave it all. Sure, she too had sinned and rad-needed Him..like we do. A real Savior. Weren’t (and aren’t) any others to choose from. Thinkin’ ’bout April 20th and the Cross-experience there, nailed!..followed by an emptying. Jesus Christ is alive and now you can enjoy a meaningful, close friendship with Him. Why be a good example of some bad example (too many do that..), when you can become a good example of the best example—Christ.  

“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.” ~ Paul, Colossians 2:13–14 nkjv

My sin—O, the bliss of this glorious tho’t—

My sin—not in part, but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! ~ Horatio Spafford

Yes and thinkin' about that hole in the rock below Calvary's hill...that was once VIP-occupied. Not there now. He left there. So echo-empty now. Hello, hello, hello! Nobody in there and 500+ eyewitness saw Him. So glad!  

But have I no grounds to celebrate on others days you might ask? No I do because of this ress-day. We all have good reason n will do..everyday! But hey, let’s do our homework, seek Him all-out, pray for our pastors and other ones, and also go find a healthy Bible teachin’ church to worship God at..to go peddle-to-the-metal celebrate in..with family..and take others with as well.

God says go tell. “Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy.” Proverbs 31:9
