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…”
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”

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?”
Is religion a smoke screen…
Did you ever think we could have to much religion? Usually as “Christians” we are concerned that people have too little religion. That they are not following God and doing what he is leading them to. However is it possible for us to have too much religion? Paul talks about this in 1 Corinthians: 13:1Continue reading “Is religion a smoke screen…”
Waiting for redemption… Waiting for Christ
Isn’t it interesting that we have jumped from Thanksgiving to Christmas, or should I say the Christmas holiday shopping season. We go about buying all the stuff on our lists and making sure that we get all the things we need to make everyone happy. We have to bend to the whims of the retailersContinue reading “Waiting for redemption… Waiting for Christ”
Boot Straps…
As I put on my boots this morning I realized something… If you have never worn cowboy boots it may not be evedent and it took me about 3 weeks to realize that boots are like our relationship to God… You see I can put on tennis shoes, or dress shoes or any other shoeContinue reading “Boot Straps…”
Who Are You?
Isn’t it interesting we are all apart of the Children of Abraham, just like the rich man. Look at the story again, Abraham calls him child, yet the rich man is not with Abraham, not in his chest as the Gk says… He is in Hades, on the other side of a chasm, a greatContinue reading “Who Are You?”
