The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
Here is a man who was born in a lowly manger, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in an obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty, and then for three years he was an itinerant preacher.
He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never went to college. He never owned a house. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where he was born.
He never did one of these things that usually acompany greatness.
He had no credentials but himself.
He had nothing to do with this world except the power of his divine manhood.
While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against him. His friends ran away. One of them denied him.
He was turned over to his enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. he was nailed upon a cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property he had on earth while he was dying-His coat.
When he was dead, he was taken down and laid in a borrowed tomb through the pity of a friend.
Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone. Today he is the center-piece of the human race and the leader of the column of progress.
I am within the mark when i say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that were ver built and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has THAT ONE SOLITARY LIFE.

More Sermon notes. (I LOVE this series on "doing faith")
Doing Faith-Defining Faith
"James 2:14-25"
Dr Steve Washburn
-James is giving us special attention to the definition of faith.
-"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?" No!
-"In the same way, faith by itself if it is not accompanied by action is dead."
-Real faith is faith that SAVES.
"John 1:1"
-The Word was God
"John 20:28"
-Jesus is God
-You believe there is one God? The demons even believe that! And they know it, too! But demons are not saved.
"Matthew 7:21"
-Only he who does the Father's will will be allowed into heaven
-I am saved ONLY by a serious faith that commits my life to Jesus.
-God doesn't accept applications. Only commitments.
-The only faith that saves is REAL faith
"Mark 8:32"
-The faith that saves is the faith that abandons everything and turns it all over to Him!
-The only faith that saves is real faith that is under the management of Jesus.
-Faith that lives is faith that doesn't just believe things, it DOES things.
-"What we DO in this life echoes in eternity!"
-Faith without deeds is dead and useless. But, faith that is full of deeds is faith that is alive!
-Faith IS more of an action than a conviction.
-Am I doing faith? Is my faith useful to my Savior!
-Is my faith lifeless or full of life?
-Real faith:
• is faith that GROWS!
• grows and changes me.
• lifts me
• allows me to be stronger than I was before
-Abraham's faith was always growing. It was always lifting him. His faith was made complete by what he DID! Abraham was called God's friend. My faith is Christ can SAVE me!
-When I make a choice to put my REAL faith in Christ, it grows me, changes me and lifts me!
-You CAN have that kind of faith! It doesn't matter what has happened in your life.
-Perspectives are different, Jesus sees the big picture, we can't.
-Now that we know what faith means, let's do it!

"When the rain is falling there's silver lining and you just can't seem to find the light..."
"When you need a reason to help you keep believing, let my love be your blue sky" (My favorite uplifting song right now.. "Blue Sky" by Francesca Battistelli)
It is true, Im quite overwhelmed...we've had company,
combined with driving school and being sick... I have so much to get done. Don't worry, I'll prolly get it done sometime. Today would be nice....
I made my dad a Caramel Toasted Marshmallow latte.. It relieves some of my
stress, oddly enough... (it's kind like baking for some people) I also made a Caramel Macchiato for myself
in hopes that the espresso will help me today!
Today is day 11 of drivers ed, btw :)

PS ALL of this was typed on my iPhone :)

Ooo..I forgot
I forgot to tell you that this CD is amazing :)
Annnnnd.....
This app is pretty much the best thing ever..
I've read the Bible all the way through twice, through this app! It's so convenient..There are also offline translations if you have an ipod Touch..
So, if you don't have the app, you probably should get it ;)
That is my randomness for the day..

***By the way, Jenna..This makes 2 posts for one day :D***
