I preached a number of months ago about the significance of worship when you are going through trials (we called them "404" times at church). I figured I'd practice what I preach.
This song has brought me to a better place. Right now, God is my strength.
Having been a personal recipient of PJim's "let grave have the last word" I am a living testament of what the extension of grace can mean in your life....words of encouragement in a deep dark time can mean the difference between life in Jesus and separation from fellowship thanks PJim! M2
I can’t figure out how to be a "follower" on this thing. I am a "follower" at heart!!
Thank you for the simple reminder of worship=peace. The thing I enjoy most I have been denying myself; worship music. Instead of focusing on the positive message of the “Word FM” or a favorite CD, I have been leaving myself to the devices of my own mind. Well let me give you another simple reminder...too much of my own thinking=disaster. This I know. I also know that I am ALWAYS filled and feel better when I get the opportunity to worship and focus on GOD’s word and promises, so why not. I want peace! Who doesn’t?
GOD, thank you for giving Pjim the idea of starting this blog to speak through him and for this simple yet profound and very important message.
"You are my strength when I am weak" "You are my All in All"
I'm gonna try to be as up front as possible without getting myself in trouble. My motto is "let grace have the last word" but that implies that it is perfectly acceptable to let a couple of non-grace words fly beforehand.
I'm also not gonna let my wife preview what I write so that might not be a good thing either.
The title of the blog is an adaptation of the John Lennon song "Give Peace a Chance."
This effort is motivated by the desire to honor Jesus.
