My Dad had a saying that always makes me smile when I remember it: Everyone puts their pants on the same, one leg at a time!  Everyone means all……no one is excluded. 

As human beings we all are really the same in nature.  All you have to do is room with someone and those basic things you will find we all have in common.

Another way we are all similar is that everyone, and I mean everyone, carries something.  It can be a past hurt or an addiction, or a habit or just ………something.  Our past is our past. Sometimes the past haunts us, but if you have given it over to JESUS, you are free of it to move forward in HIS grace and to help others be free as well.

We have the power of words right now tearing up our nation and coming between friends and neighbors…….throwing words at one another like knives is not accomplishing anything because……

EVERYONE CARRIES SOMETHING

We all have a history whether good or bad……..but mostly sinful.  Because we all carry sins, and most of us are well aware of those sins, past, present and GOD knows the future ones too.

ROMANS 3:10 “AS IT IS WRITTEN: “THERE IS NO ONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE.”

None of us are acceptable before GOD……..everyone is a sinner.

Because we are sinners we need a Savior, someone to stand in the gap for us before GOD.  JESUS is our intercessor for us.  And because of HIS love for us, JESUS met the small, the unnoticed, the broken and sinful and bruised…….because……

EVERYONE IS BROKEN

CHRIST touched mankind on earth, because of HIS abundant love for us, the Creator loved and reached out to HIS creation because HE knew that……..

EVERYONE  IS A SINNER

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS: GOD’S GRACE IS FOR…….EVERYONE.

Not just some……..everyone.  And GOD’S well of grace runs deep!

ROMANS 10:13 “EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”

If JESUS went to the people with HIS message of grace, then so should we, in our own circle of influence, because we are saved and because we are forgiven and because we should know that…….

EVERYONE NEEDS GRACE

Someone may be watching you right now, yes you, knowing you are somehow different and not like everyone.  And they may ask you what is the reason for your faith…….are you prepared to respond to them because…….

EVERYONE NEEDS LOVE

In the book of Ezra, the Godly priest Ezra felt compelled to improve the spiritual condition of broken people under his care……we need more Ezras today!

Ezra is a wonderful example of knowing GOD’S word and applying it to the world around us.  We need more people who really read the WORD and apply it because……

EVERYONE NEEDS SAVING

We are nothing if all we do is learn Biblical principles, but never apply them.  Be alert, watch, pay attention to those who cross your path today……someone needs to hear about JESUS because……

EVERYONE NEEDS A SAVIOR

This is a word of encouragement my friends, stay on mission today.  Because the time is critical, because we are HIS “everyone”.

MATTHEW 28: 19 & 20 “GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU, AND BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, TO THE END OF THE AGE.”
