  • Our Greatest Need, Their Greatest Need

    If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent us an educator. If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist. If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist. If our greatest need had been pleasure, God would have sent us an…

  • Over-Complicating Simplicity

    by

    in ,

    It seems to be a trend in today’s culture… To over-complicate everything. Some things aren’t supposed to be complicated… Like: government policies, law, math, and insurance. :-) I think we often over-complicate Christianity. We focus on theological terms and denominational stances. We focus on systems and programs. We focus on things beyond our control. While…

  • We Can’t Do That

    One of the things I find difficult… One of the things that seems to be difficult for others… Admitting when we’re wrong. It’s not the cool thing to do. We all make mistakes. I’m pretty sure we all realize that we do make mistakes. But, It’s hard to admit when we do. It’s hard for…

  • God Can’t Do That

    We’ve all been told to not try to be someone we’re not. As I read these verses, I can’t help but be thankful that God doesn’t try to be someone He’s not…. The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also…

  • The Sun Never Burns Out

    A commonly heard scripture that God shed new “light” on lately in me… Matthew 5:14-16 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in…

  • The Secret’s In the Cushion: A word on sin

    When I was a kid, I loved to eat. Even more than I do now. My parents had no problem with me eating (I was a big boy), but they didn’t like me eating at certain times. One of those “no eat” times was before dinner. Starting about an hour before dinner, I wasn’t supposed…

  • When the Waves Break

    I read this quote a couple of days ago… “Christ’s life outwardly was one of the most troubled lives that was ever lived: tempest and tumult, tumult and tempest, the waves breaking over it all the time. But the inner life was a sea of glass. The great calm was always there.” – Henry Drummond…

  • A Post Without A Post

    by

    in , ,

    Sometimes…. Very little needs to be said. Sometimes…. Less is more. Sometimes…. Drawing close to God means closing our mouths and opening our ears. Sometimes…. God whispers to us, but we’re surrounded by too much noise to hear. Sometimes…. I don’t need to post, you don’t need to read this blog, WE just need to…

  • 4 Calls Jesus Has On His Disciples

    Matthew 10:5-8 “These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,…
