Peeing in the Easter Basket
After listening to a sermon the other day I posted on Facebook a very strong opinion about how preachers should do their preaching. The specific preacher I was listening to at the time was circling round and round a point for what seemed way too long, never really saying much. Being entertaining, but not communicatingContinue reading “Peeing in the Easter Basket”
Politicians and Religious Leaders
Mark 8:11-15 (YLT) The Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him; and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And having left them, havingContinue reading “Politicians and Religious Leaders”
Where 2 or 3 are gathered to talk about someone else…
I can appreciate the world’s standard of what gossip is and isn’t. I can go to webster’s definition and totally justify much of my behavior concerning this matter. Under positive subheadings, I can talk about my friends and colleagues with “good intentions” and reckless abandon. Or with the discernment of the Holy Spirit and theContinue reading “Where 2 or 3 are gathered to talk about someone else…”

Observation: Saw a person on the side of the road today changing their tire like they knew what they were doing. It surprised me… I’m sure only a few minutes after I passed them they were done and back on with their day. Made me think of life.

We are prone to be skeptical and weary of the church. If you think about it, it makes since. The bride it the representation of God’s grace towardContinue reading “The Bride.”
Getting Back to the Basics
Worship had been electrifying. The room was charged with the presence of the Almighty. Everyone had a gift to bring, no one was exempt. It’s just funny we even went there, but somehow it was like we accidently ran over the right road marker that showed us we were on the right path. The roadContinue reading “Getting Back to the Basics”
Love Till’ it Hurts
God loved people enough that He sent a part of Himself, His Son, to us[1]. This Son this God in flesh was a man who was grief-stricken[2]; all He saw broke His heart. He was weighted down with sadness and sorrow so much so that He constantly had to spend time with Father God[3]. WhenContinue reading “Love Till’ it Hurts”
The Words that Brought Reformation
“The Righteous Shall Live By Faith.” Romans 1:17 Luther stumbled upon these words and it changed the world. Very much like King Josiah rediscovering the law(2Kings 22:8-13). What will be rediscovered that will bring another wave of change?
It’s Time to Quit Being Friendly and Be Family
Reflections on Ephesians 4 There is a group of people on earth that have the spirit of God in them. They love like Him and speak like Him. They even act like Him. Jesus Christ died so that they could exist. He has given the characteristics of Himself to dwell in His people permanently. TheContinue reading “It’s Time to Quit Being Friendly and Be Family”
