The Lost Sheep of the Western Church

I've noticed that many people don't go to church even though they've made professions of faith. I find them in odd places. Is it possible that our lust for bigger and better is at odds with "one" lost…

Matthew 18:12 (NLT), Matthew 18:13 (NLT)

THE WEBS WE WEAVE THAT GOD CLEARS AWAY

Hatred and unforgiveness are rife among God's people, just as it was with Jacob and Esau. The deception and conflict are of the flesh. But take heart. Those that belong to God eventually come to faith…

Genesis 27:41 (NLT)

CHOICES

We would choose the pigs over the demoniacs being healed. We prefer the status quo of the sick being among us and keeping our pigs rather than the upset of a work of God.

Companions of Theives

Does this sound like 21st century USA.

A WISDOM BANK TO DRAW ON

Why do we not take advantage of this wonderful tool. God stores up wisdom-a working knowledge of "how-to" for the task at hand and beyond that an intuition. The store is there for the upright to draw…

He Names The Stars!

COMPLETE OBEDIENCE

We think this impossible because we are walking after the flesh which will never obey God. The Holy Spirit in tandem with God's word says that it's entirely possible. If there is an area of disobedience…

2 Corinthians 10:6 (NASB)

The Call to Brutal Honesty

Fear God, Obey Him, He will judge us for everything, even the secret things. It is of extreme importance that we purge our souls before we reach judgement day. Let's arrive there having dealt with our…

Ecclesiastes 12:13 (NLT), Ecclesiastes 12:14 (NLT)

Talk is Cheap

We ought to measure our words. I drive a school bus to help fund my latest church plant. The # 1 safety issue is the mindless chatter of my students. I have to work to keep them under control so that…

Ecclesiastes 5:7 (NLT)

Oh That Foolish Child

God has spoken this verse to me over and over again. We need to accept the fact that kids and teens are full of foolishness and that its our job to drive it out if them. If we don't heed this we become…

Proverbs 22:15 (NKJV)

So you want to be a minister

Suffering With Purpose

Morning-Evening Practice

The refrences in the Psalter to this practice lead us to pattern our lives therewith. To be all consumed with God is an intentional thing, yet desire should trump duty. I want to live this way.
