Happy New Year 2020!!, I plan to post weekly going forward, likely on Wednesdays.

Now back to the more important things.

If Jesus Christ is not the real foundation under our lives, we are headed for real trouble. The sort of trouble that may not come to us until the end of life, or it may come next week, but it IS coming either way.

If money or a nice home, or a nice set of kids, or a nice neighborhood, a set of easy life circumstances is the foundation of our lives. Then there is coming a bad time for us. It will be very unsettling and upsetting. It will feel like our lives are being turned upside down, in a confusing way, against our will.

But if we can get Jesus Christ under our lives, in a real way, not a fake or sentimental, pretending-for-church way. If we can do that then he will turn our lives upside down in a way that we can understand and accept and perhaps even enjoy. Better this happen sooner than later. Get him alone under you, with intensity, while you’re young, and repeat every day if necessary. Let him shape your life-circumstances according to what he wants, not necessarily according to what you want, or what is easy for you.

Either way, for the Christian, our lives are not our own to control and optimize for ease and comfort. If we are a Christian we WILL lay our lives down for new ones, sooner or later, lives founded solely on him.
