A stunning sunrise to kick off a new week to...who knows what?!!
For football fans, the countdown to who will make it to the 2024 super bowl is on!
Golfers have been delighting fans with some history-making highlights!
Did you happen to see any of winner, Steve Alkers amazing shots this past Friday and Saturday
Last week the winner of the Sony open was Grayson Murray!
He has been open about the demons he battles in his personal life,
which affected and impeded his game!
When asked what the difference is in his life now, he answered immediately that
his fiancée, but above that, Jesus Christ has made the difference!
For, no matter how sweet the kick, the toss, the shot, the triumph
it will never be enough to satisfy our need. Thrills soon fade...
1 John 2:15-16
Do not love the world or anything in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—
is not from the Father but from the world.
but whoever does the will of God remains forever.
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
***
We need more than this world’s finesse, to get from here to There
We need more than man’s promises, on which to cast our care
Where, though we need each other to cheer us along the way
To help us as we weather ups and downs from day to day
Our kindest word or dearest deed are inept on their own
To satisfy the need this world cannot fill or atone
We need Jesus, nobody else can save us from our sins
Or help us into heaven when eternity begins
Or hear our prayers or see into our heart of hearts to know
The truth without excuse, idols He longs to overthrow
The spirit, oh, so willing, and the flesh, weak as can be
Without His Spirit instilling, ‘not I, but Christ in me’
We need more than this world can boast of season-severed strings
No matter what success we toast, these are all fleeting things
The love of family and friends, as precious as they are
Will never be enough to rend and fling Heav’n’s gates ajar
We need Jesus; His Name is Wonderful, Mighty to save
He fits us for the flight that thunders through the lifeless grave
When all is said and done; the gap that gaped twixt here and There
Dissolved; when we have run the final lap of worldly care
We need more than this world can give; the whole world not enough
To take the place of ‘Look and live’; God’s gift of grace and love
Is Jesus; we all need Him; Savior, Shepherd, Father, Friend
For this world’s greatest favor is but vapor in the end
