Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together inContinue reading “Perfect Harmony…”

Review ~ The Church Creative ~ how to be a creative gathering in the 21st century by John O’Keefe
The church as a whole has been in a decline for quite some time. It seems we are looking for the new program that will turn everything around. The cookie cutter that will make all of our gatherings be like they were in the ‘good old days’… But will we ever get back to thoseContinue reading “Review ~ The Church Creative ~ how to be a creative gathering in the 21st century by John O’Keefe”
Lost Sheep…
Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine inContinue reading “Lost Sheep…”
God’s plumb line…
King Herod heard of it, for Jesus’ name had become known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead. That is why these miraculous powers are at work in him.” But others said, “He is Elijah.” And others said, “He is a prophet, like one of the prophets of old.” But whenContinue reading “God’s plumb line…”
when will you comfort me?
My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word.

O give thanks…
I really don’t feel like giving thanks. I have been without a call for over 4 months (that’s 120+ days). Now my wife is working and coming home bone tired, not that the work she did before did not wear her out, but it was here and we could help (and every now and thenContinue reading “O give thanks…”
vengeance upon them
But the LORD is with me as a dread warrior; therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonor will never be forgotten. O LORD of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance upon them, for to you have I committedContinue reading “vengeance upon them”
keep it!
A house divided against itself can not stand! Have you ever been there? Luke 11:14-28 tells us the story we heard from Mark last Sunday of the reason Jesus can cast out demons according to the Pharisees and the scribes is because He does it by the chief of demons… Yet a house divided against itself can notContinue reading “keep it!”
