Use Your Words

There is power in the name of Jesus. There is power in the Gospel when we proclaim it with our mouths. We, as Christians, have been given a supernatural power and it is on the tip of all of our tongues. In the message of the Cross is the power of God to change people’s hearts. This is a profound truth about the influence and value that we (as Christians) have in this world. It’s for this very reason God has us in this world. He wants to pour out His love to others and bring more people to His Son. In order to do this, we need to use our words.

Woody has a place at the dinner table, in the car, and even has his own blanket and pillow! Wesley introduces Woody to everyone who crosses his path. As a family, we just got home from Disneyland, and Wesley got the chance to meet Woody in person! Just a few nights ago (it was the sweetest thing to see) as he was fast asleep, Wesley cracked the biggest smile as he was remembering the day they met. Wesley’s love for Woody overflows into every aspect of his life.

Closer

Psalm 145:18 “The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.”

As a dad, I am continually amazed by how much my little boy keeps growing and learning. He can bust out all of Michael Jackson’s dance moves, he can tell me about every slide at the park, and he ALWAYS remembers what I promised him we would do from the day before. (more…)
