Sunday can't beat that day
















There are so many blessings in our lives that we are so thankful for right now, how about you? We have been saved out of a life of abuse, drugs, alcohol and a whole lot more by the God that created the whole universe and sent His one and only Son to die for us as He took our sins on to Him at the cross. We also have a great family and a wonderful church family and a city full of friends that stand by us to see the ranch God has put on our hearts being built. One of the greatest blessings we have is the love God has put in us for those that are hurting and struggling or just simply live in our society and communities that have never chosen to get to know Jesus for who He truly is. We want them to know what He has done for each and every one of us and what He can and will do for them if they will allow Him to be in their lives. Our lives with Jesus is like our marriages, when we chose to be married to our spouses we did it for life, it was based on a choice not on a feeling. That's what a commitment to Jesus has to be also and as we live out that commitment the benefits or as the Bible calls it the fruit will also be evident. We are so privileged to have the trust of our comunity and we believe it's because of the love God put in each of us for those that live next door to us or the nieghbours at the ranch. The Jesus that lives in our hearts loved the worst people in our society, loved the most hurting people in society, loved the most hideous people in society, loved the most corrupt people in society and loved the most lost people in our society. The Jesus that lives in our hearts didn't have a lot of time for the pious or selfish. We are so thankful that he had time for every day ordinary folks like us and that's why we are so priviledged to have so many every day ordinary folks like us as friends.

Luke 15:7 (New International Version)

"7I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent."
