Peter Eide hit me hard again today. Not literally, Peter is not that kind of guy, but figuratively… We read the commissioning of Isaiah, and talked about it. Here Isaiah is in the temple, and sees God and realizes he is in the wrong place, because he is not worthy to be here, but GodContinue reading “Location or offering”

A forgiveness explosion
Isn’t it interesting that we forget about others it seems and focus only on ourselves? I mean, look at Jesus. No really look at Jesus. He cried out in the garden, the night before his death, “if it is possible, remove this cup from me…” I don’t want to do it, I do not thinkContinue reading “A forgiveness explosion”
Feather Blower or Feather Grabber
I am at a gathering for senior high youth in the SW Texas Synod. Peter Eide is here to lead worship and concerts, and tonight he gave a wonderful talk about how we are all able to seize our destiny and grasp the feather and follow God… He told us a story of a kingContinue reading “Feather Blower or Feather Grabber”
Invitation only…
Have you ever seen a party that is invitation only? Been close enough to crash the gates? Ever wanted to be in on the cool happenings… Isn’t it interesting that we all want what we don’t have and we are not always ready to open up and accept what is right in front of us.Continue reading “Invitation only…”
Wonder of Christmas…
What is the first thing today you think of when I say Christmas? Hopefully it is not what comes to my mind, but I bet it is… I think of presents to buy and wrap, I wonder if the things I ordered and are in the mail or on a truck between there and hereContinue reading “Wonder of Christmas…”
Correction!?
Why is it that we are so quick to see the sin in another and seem to miss it in our selves? Do no try to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye until you have removed the plank form yours! We all have to be willing to hear the words that convict us ofContinue reading “Correction!?”
Necessity of Prayer
Pray is necessary for our lives to be connected with God, however I agree with Charles Spurgeon, that necessity and prayer do not really go together. If prayer is a necessity for you, maybe some reevaluation needs to happen. In an excerpt from Charles Spurgeon’s Lectures To My Students he speaks about prayer, and ourContinue reading “Necessity of Prayer”

This season is confusing to a lot of people. Society is pushing us into Christmas. Many are doing 12 days of Christmas promotions now, and this does not help the confusion. The 12 days of Christmas actually begin Christmas Day and goes for the 12 days after leading up to Epiphany, the visit of theContinue reading “Joy”
What is it that drives you?
What keeps us going in life? There are so many things that could drag us down and make us just despise life and run away and hide. What is it that keeps you going through the stuff of life that we all wish would just go away? It is interesting to think about this forContinue reading “What is it that drives you?”
Have we forgotten our first love?
Revelation chapter 2 starts the writings to the 7 churches and it starts with the church in Ephesus. Oh to be like one in Ephesus. The report sounds so good. “I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance.” We are working for the lord and enduring through what seems to be an endlessContinue reading “Have we forgotten our first love?”
