God's Love is Unconditional

God's Love is unconditional. It doesn't depend on merit. God loves us no matter what. He doesn't judge us on whether we deserve his love or not. Aren't you glad that God doesn't love us with "human" love? We would have been toast long ago. God is a God of Mercy and a God of forgiveness. Nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Max Lucado talks about how John 3:16 summarizes the Bible's message. He talks about the love of God. "I think God intends for us to live life in complete awe of him, anticipating the wonders that await us after this world." One of the books he has written is "John 3:16 The numbers of hope."

Don't Face Your Giants Without Facing God in Prayer

Max Lucado is a well known author and storyteller. I like his illustration about the five stones. David as a boy, went out to face Goliath the giant who was blaspheming against God. He explains why David selected five stones to put in his pouch. The stones relate to our lives as we deal with the Giants in our lives.

1. The Past - dealing with our past
2. The stone of prayer - going to God
3. The stone of priority - What matters
4. The stone of Passion of life
5. the stone of persistence

Check out the video below where he explains it:



Don't let the giants in your life get the best of you. Go after Divorce, Drug Addiction, Debt and any other things that you face in your life.

Every Day Deserves a Chance



Max Lucado's book, "Every Day Deserves a chance" sounds like a great read! I found this little exerpt on Max Lucado's website:
An exerpt from the book: "A brand-spanking-new, unsoiled, untouched, uncharted and unused day! A Gift of twenty-four unlived, unexplored hours. And if you can stack one good day on another and another, you will link together a good life."





I found this awesome "commercial" on utube. It's done in the old school style of cartoon commercials from the 1950s.
