We Are Free!

February 2, 2012 by

‘Sin is not a disqualification from the things of God. But, rather, sin is an INDICATION of where you must surrender your heart.’ -unknown When we struggle with a particular temptation we must realize that we have been given the power by God to overcome it. Jesus set us free from the power of sin! […]

Simple Ministry to a Lost World

July 25, 2011 by

2

Here is my attempt to simplify the ministry that everyone in the church has been called to join. If everyone in the church is in full-time ministry (and we are supposed to be), then what is our ministry?  We are in the ministry of sharing with the lost world the relationship we have with Jesus.  […]

A Direction for Youth Ministry

July 22, 2011 by

I am not a youth pastor, or directly related to ministry to the youth. However, I have been a youth pastor. I also volunteered in youth ministry for 5 years. With that said, the fact that I am not currently in a youth ministry position or related directly to a youth ministry at this time […]

‘So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”‘ John 20:21 This verse has been coming up time and time again.  Apparently I am not getting all that the Lord is trying to show me in this verse, at least at this time. On top […]

God Speaks

December 6, 2010 by

Do you hear God’s voice? Has He ever spoken to you? Would you recognize Him if He did? I can tell you the answer to all of these questions is Yes! Coming from a background where it was not necessarily taught, but totally understood, that God doesn’t really speak anymore, I understand anyone who does […]

Growing Faith

December 4, 2010 by

I have been met head on with a test of faith.  This I know without a doubt: What I thought I knew about the strength of my faith was false and arrogant and I have thrown it out the window. I can’t believe the goodness of God to meet us with tests exactly where our […]

Our Experience vs The Truth: Part 3

November 30, 2010 by

2

I realized that I didn’t make it clear why I titled this series ‘Our Experience vs. The Truth.’  The point of the title is because we base our theology on our experiences.   Our theology CANNOT be determined by our experiences. Jesus told us that he taught in parables to keep truth hidden so that only […]

What if…

“Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,” Ephesians 3:20  This verse has lead me to a point where I sit and try to think up the most outlandish good and favorable scenario for every situation. Why? […]

How Tall Must You Be to Ride?

October 24, 2010 by

I just changed my ‘About’ page on my blog.  Right before I posted the scripture, I asked a question. And, after I typed it and re-read it I realized how profound that question is…at least to me. “What if God made following Him so easy a child could do it?” The easy answer to that […]

The Spiritual & Natural Unite

I had a very significant dream about 2 weeks ago.  I won’t go into it all since it was pretty detailed, but the short of it was this: There was a battle scene going on…Pitbull dogs that walked like men were growling and trying to intimidate us with their sounds.  Men showed up and would […]
