Jon Randles

He is a man who radiates Jesus from every ounce of him. While in college, at Texas Tech I had the amazing privilege of listening to this man preach God's word to thousands of college students on Sunday's and Thursday nights.

His passion to share God's Word with students was one of the many reasons, I desire to share God's Word.

He is bold, black and white, and a living example of how we are to live our lives on fire for Christ.

Awhile back, Jon Randles was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and as we all know this type of cancer can be vicious. But to Jon and his family they joyful look at it differently. Their eyes are steadfast on the Lord and every ounce of their strength is found in Him.

Would you join with me as we pray for Jon and his family?

Cancer seems to be making it's way into more and more people today. Let's be mindful of all who are fighting this awful disease, along with their loved ones. Not only do those fighting the battle need prayer, encouragement and love, but they need God's super natural strength and rest as well, as does their family.  Let's also remember those families who have lost loved ones to cancer, especially as we approach the upcoming holidays. But don't stop once the holidays are over, continue to pray for them  everyday all year around.

Effort and Choice

“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever.” Psalm 107:1

We must remember to give thanks to the Lord no matter our circumstances. I find this to be very hard at times.

Do you?

There are a lot of times when we allow stress, illness, frustration, hurt, money, appearance, etc to distract us from our blessings and God’s goodness.

God is so much better and greater than any of those things. Yet we still tend to focus more on them than Him.

It’s a messed up situation, really. But the more we focus on Him the more we see His goodness. So in reality if we would just stay fixed on Him, stay buried in His word, the better off we will be and the more we will realize His goodness and love.

It’s a daily effort and a daily choice.

So let’s choose to focus on Him. It is way more joyful and uplifting anyway, which I know we all need anyway.

Jesus You are good! Every single thing about You is good, perfect, holy, and beautiful. Thank You for Your unending love and mercy. Fix our eyes on You. Help us to fill our thoughts with Your word and love for us. In Jesus name amen!
