from the desk of Denver Snuffer: Our Many Cares: Our many cares often focus on things which do not matter. Christ told us what matters. It is not what we can get from God, but what we do fo...

Jesus IS The Christ
(Note: This post subject to change as I am able to more accurately convey my feelings with words.)
For several years now I have been hungry and thirsty. I have spent a great deal of time studying, learning and praying about spiritual things. I have read blogs, books, the scriptures. Always gaining understanding by the Spirit. In all of this I have come to one inescapable conclusion. JESUS IS THE CHRIST! The son of the living God. It is something I feel should have been distilled into me years ago. However, somewhere deep in my soul I know it is true.
He is the Christ. He lives. He loves us. He has redeemed us and we are nothing without Him.
In all I have been reading, studying and pondering the point always comes back to Christ, His life and His teachings. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We simply need to accept His offering for us and follow him. His yoke is easy and His burden is light for when I think on these things I feel a lightness in my soul, peace fills my heart and the love I feel is real.
It is now to become my earnest endeavor to work towards becoming like him. I am a weak individual. I have no strength of my own so I must rely on Him. It is not as easy as it sounds but whatever is going on in my life, I know this is the road to follow.
It has become increasingly apparent to me over the last several weeks as everything I have read and discussed with friends has come back to follow Christ, become like Him.
It is one of my dearest desires to see Him. To walk with Him and talk with Him as others have done. I spend a large quantity of time thinking about it. Now I need to spend a large quantity of time acting on it. Doing as he would have done.
I know where to go to continue to understand His ways. To learn the truths he taught. To become one with Him and to know him. Seeing Christ, learning of Him, becoming like Him is all that matters.

You're Not Alone
You're Not Alone
I can't make it imbed. I suppose because it isn't from YouTube, even though a search on YouTube is what brought me the link.

I Believe in Christ.
I believe in Christ. Apart from dreams, I have never seen Him, yet at times He has felt so close. It was as if the veil was as thin as gossamer and could be ripped open. Right now, I'm feeling pretty much the opposite, so I wanted to remind myself that He is there. He is real. He is awesome. He is someone I cannot comprehend.
I think the way we live and the way He would have us live (as a society, as well as individuals) is so foreign to us as a people, that we would have a humongous culture shock if we were thrust into that behavior, into that society. He may be patient with us, but I wonder if He becomes a bit torqued that we just don't get it, and we go along our merry Babylonian way, thinking this is the way things are supposed to be.
