JOURNAL/TAKING THE CHALLENGE




We are all CHALLENGED in this world-challenged in every area of our lives


CHALLENGED in health and in science
CHALLENGED in finances
CHALLENGED to RESTORE broken relationships


BUT most of all challenged-to find GOD in the deepest-darkest-part of our souls


THERE is only ONE reason to LIVE and that is to honor and love OUR GOD-and-love and honor our family-friends-and churches


ALL THINGS are held together by GOD and MY LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ


IT IS a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-as we face the challenges of LIFE-and find the ANSWER to all questions IN OUR GOD




















TAKING THE CHALLENGE




RECENTLY
There has been
A great effort
Going around
In the name of
THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE


It was GREAT
WHEN it started out
Then it turned into
A bit of a fad


What it was SPECIFICALLY
Was the “ALS ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE”
(Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)


It was an activity
PERFORMED by an individual
By dumping a bucket of ice water
On ONE'S own head
To PROMOTE awareness
To the disease
And RAISE FUNDS for the disease


I couldn't think
Of a better cause
To raise funds for


BUT at times
It could be
A little bit risky


In today's world
THERE are some
33 or 34,000 Christian religions
Not to mention
The Jewish, the PEACEFUL Muslim religions-most are
And the far eastern religions


I SUGGEST
That we need to get
To the point
WHERE we have ONE GOD
For ALL of us


THE GOD OF LOVE
THE GOD OF PEACE
THE GOD OF LIFE
THE GOD OF TRUTH
And the GOD of
KINDNESS AND FORGIVENESS


“HEAR Oh Israel
The Lord Our God
IS ONE LORD” Deuteronomy 6:4


ONE GOD OF LOVE


Why not try it?
Could this world be any worse?


“And thou shalt
LOVE the Lord thy God
With all thin heart
And with all thy soul
And with all thy might” Deuteronomy 6:4


ONE PEOPLE
Of ALL religions
LIVING one life of love
UNDER GOD


And Jesus said it too:


“The first
Of all the commandments
Is hear-Oh Israel
The Lord Our God
IS ONE LORD:


And thou shalt
LOVE the Lord thy God


With all thy heart
With all thy soul
And with all thy might
And with all thy strength


THIS IS
The first commandment


And the second
Is like it


Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbor
As thyself




There is none other commandments
Greater than these” Mark 12:30-31


MY CHALLENGE
Does not involve
Any ice bucket
Or water
Or money


JUST LOVE


LOVE GOD
With ALL your heart
And LOVE OTHERS
As yourself


Say “YES” to
THE GOD CHALLENGE


Let us LIVE
For ONE GOD today


THE GOD OF LOVE
