IDK Where This Came From

Last night I was looking at a notebook and ran across a quote. The only thing is I don't know where it came from. I didn't write down who said it or what book I copied it from. I want to share it though.

"The health, wealth, and prosperity "gospel" swallows up the beauty of Christ in the beauty of gifts and turns the gifts into idols."

I am not into the prosperity gospel it is so stupid (I don't say this word very often). If the prosperity gospel was true then why do people in other countries struggle? Also people here in America struggle but American people for some reason think everyone makes the same amount of money. I know many good Christians that don't have very much money and sometimes their income is what makes them good Christians. They have to rely more on God. It drives me insane when people says that everyone won't mind to give a certain price for something. I have actually felt like correcting them and saying that everyone doesn't make the amount of money you make.

OK I got on my soap box for today but it is something we as Christians should think about.

The Light and The Shadow

The other day when I was waiting for the church bus to pick me up for Spring Jubilee I was looking through one of my Bibles and ran into a beautiful quote. The quote was made by D. L. Moody. The quote said this...

"The valley of the shadow of death holds no darkness for the child of God. There must be light, else there could be no shadow. Jesus is the light; he has overcome death." D. L. Moody

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;... Psalm 23:4

...I am the light of the world. John 9:5 (This was Jesus speaking.)

If I had never read that quote the other day, I would never thought about it. This is so beautiful because when it comes down to the end of someones life then we don't have to fear. We have someone there even when we feel like it may be dark. In order for there to be a shadow there has to be some source of light and that source of light is Jesus. This is evidence that we always have someone with us.

Congratulations to Martin Truex Jr. for breaking the Hendrick curse. Sad news, former NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr. died Monday at home in Daytona Beach, Fla. He was 74. Late breaking hockey news, I am sad to report that my team did not win the Stanley Cup. The Anaheim Ducks won their first Stanley Cup defeating the Ottawa Senators by 6 to 2. I do believe this makes the second year that a first timer team wins the Cup.
