B.E.L.I.E.V.E

With the issues of life facing each of us day by day it’s extremely difficult to endure the pains involved. I just want to encourage each person to hold on and fight the good fight of FAITH. Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

God created people to connect with each other, help, protect, and to run this race of life together. I know during these most trying times some of you may be on the verge of just throwing in the towel, but “don’t quit!” When we have done all we know to do in order to make it in this life, and things still don’t work out, it’s time to let go and let GOD. Mark 10:27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

It’s time to reestablish the village; remember the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child?” Times are tough out there at the moment, it’s time for all mankind to come together, and those who have should help those who don’t. If we are Christians and have the means to assist those who are struggling, and fail to do so, we need to revisit the WORD.

<><><>The Parable of the Good Samaritan<><><>

Luke 10:25-37

25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
29 But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”


Let’s wake up from this deep sleep, and get serious about what is really important. GOD is concerned about people (Souls), so we as children of God who are made in HIS image should have like passions. John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Let’s team up everywhere, all over the Earth and let our lights so shine that Souls may be won to the Kingdom, to God be the glory forever. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

All I can say is B.E.L.I.E.V.E!
