My devotion for this morning was about following Jesus and doing the commandments. Even today we hear the call of Jesus just as Peter, James, John did from the show line. Can you hear it echoing, “Come and Follow Me.” Come and leave your safe life behind. I want you to go to place andContinue reading “Passion Show”

Purging Passion
Josiah was king. He was also 8. Josiah though had a passion for the God of his father David, that caused him to become enraged by idols and false gods that would take away from his time and worship of the real God. Idols in Josiah’s time were easy to spot and take down, andContinue reading “Purging Passion”
I wonder…
Have you ever been approached by someone for help? It seems to be a daily thing for me now a days. I often find myself hearing a voice asking, “what if this is Jesus?” And what if it is? Aren’t I as a child of God suppose to see Jesus in the least of these?Continue reading “I wonder…”
Location or offering
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”
