Put Your Actions Where Your Faith Is!

"Put your money where your mouth is". How many of you have heard that statement? Maybe it isn't used much any more, but for me it meant a couple things: Do what you say you'll do, act like you believe, follow through with your promises. Our testimony is super important for the mission of reaching the lost and dying world. As God bring the unbelievers into our lives, He us...

You are Dead....Rejoice!

There are some many great things about being a follower of Jesus, and resting at the foot of the cross. One passage that kept jumping into my head this morning was in Romans Chapter 6, verse 11 which says "In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Have you ever stopped to really think about that verse and what it means to be "alive t...

You are the Light of the World!

Ask yourself: Am I the light of the world? Do I live my life each day in such a way that those around me would describe me as "a light"? I'm studying a book with a group of guys from church and we starting discussing the concept of biblical character as it relates to church leadership. One of the suggestions on the topic was the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:1-12. The aut...

Like a Bride, Waiting For Her Groom...

Word of the Day

Today I woke up with the song, "Even So Come" by Kristian Stanfill running through my mind, particularly the verse, "Like a bride waiting for her groom, we'll be a church ready for You".I will admit that the concept of being a bride, even as a member of the Body, is difficult for me. I am male after all.Pondering this as I went through my routine, I began comparing a 1st c...

Simple Heart, Happy Heart

Clean Heart

For you parents out there, you might agree that one of the most difficult concepts to teach our young ones is contentment. Actually, that is difficult for some adults too! Just about every night, I pray with my kids at bed time. I try to change it up and stay away from praying the same robotic prayer all the time. Lately, we've been praying for things that God has blessed...

Are They Biting?

Word of the Day

Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men". They immediately left their nets and followed Him. (Mark 1:17) How's the fishing going? Are you intentionally seeking and praying for opportunities to cast your line or just getting through your day with as little stress as possible. It is so easy for us to get wrapped up in our schedules, ne...

The Power of Prayer in Parenting

Walk with Jesus

"Now then, my sons, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways. Listen to my instructions and be wise; do not ignore it. Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me, finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death" (Proverbs 8:32-36, t...

Just How Deep is the Father's Love?

Word of the Day

Yesterday, we sang one of my all time favorite songs during worship: "How Deep the Father's Love for Us". I'm always moved how the author of the lyrics beautifully captures the message of the gospel, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I can't help but shed a few tears of pure joy and shame as I belt out the words. "How deep the Father's love for us, how vast bey...

Boldness to Speak

Pray

"as you know, we had the boldness in our God to speak to you the gospel of God" 1 Thessalonians 2:2 Every week, my wife meets with an accountability group. As they were studying/sharing last week, a friend that hadn't attended before joined the group. She was unsure of her relationship with God but wanted to know more. As you might expect, the group, shared the good news ...

2016 Coming!

Walk with Jesus

HERE WE GO AGAIN! This will be my 55th New Year's celebration. Of course I don't remember any of them prior to around age 10-12. However, whether conscience of them or not, they came and went each year and each time symbolizing something really significant for the human psyche. It's not hard to see it coming: all the diet programs start blitzing the airwaves with promise...
