Do Not Just Go To Church

Be the Church!

 

Did you realize that this is National Back To Church Sunday?  I did not until I picked up my bulletin this morning.  I could not help but think that believers should be the church first and foremost.  A national day to call folks back to church is a great idea.  However, where have we been?

Are You Ready?

Whether you have been attending church or not I would like to take this day to call each of us back to being the church.  We are in very treacherous times.   Many … Read the rest

Do You Have Radical Faith?

Crazy Faith

Is Your Faith on Fire

Or Is It Lukewarm?

Do you ever feel as if your faith is shrinking and giving way to fear?  Are the circumstances all around you suddenly overwhelming?  Far too often you can live affected by what you see rather than what you believe.  Radical faith brings you above what you see with your eyes.  Radical faith enables you to close your eyes and open your heart to God’s possibilities.  Radical faith is the kind of faith that will get you through the season you are in now and the changes that are coming.

Labor Day 2015

Whatever Your Labor

Do It Unto The Lord!

As we celebrate Labor Day this week in the United States of America may you be blessed to share it with family and friends.  Labor Day ushers in the end of summer activities and the return to school for many across our land.  Pray for the safety of our teachers, students, and everyone in school support roles.

Established in 1894 as a Federal holiday, Labor Day is to honor the economic and social achievements and contributions of American workers to the strength, well-being and prosperity of America.  A strong work ethic and … Read the rest

Do Not Fret!

 Step Away from Worry

Do Not Fret

This week while reading Psalm 37 I could not help but notice the instruction, “do not fret,” repeated three times in the first eight verses.  Anytime the Lord repeats something three times it is wise to take notice.  To fret is to agonize, be troubled by or upset over something.  In today’s fast paced, super charged life fretting can readily take over your mind and heart and steal your peace and joy.

There are so many issues that can catapult you into a whirlwind of fret if you are not diligent to guard … Read the rest

The Assignment of Prayer

Step Into Your Assignment

For ‘Such a Time as This!’

Do you ever wonder why you are here?  Do you wonder why you are on earth in this period of history?  Some periods of history seem to evoke a certain charm and allure.  They offer a journey into a more peaceful and gracious time.  Today is quite a different story.  News headlines tell of one atrocity after another.  War dominates throughout the world.  Our country moves daily from the Christian roots on which it was founded.

What can you do as an individual?  Of course, you can become active politically … Read the rest

Are You Dandelion Fluff

Do You Know Who You Are?

If asked who you are what would your answer be? Would it be relative to your career, family, religious denomination, or community affiliations? So often your self-image is quite wrapped up in what you do for a living, who you are in your household or what your various community affiliations are outside your home. It is not uncommon to have your self-image so tied to some position in your life that if you were to lose that position you would no longer know who you are.

Can Our Land Really Be Healed?

Heal Their Land

God’s Promise Is To:

“Heal Their Land”

One Scripture that is getting a lot of play these days is 2Chromicles 7:14.  “If  My People, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  The promise is clear.  The requirements to receive that promise are also quite clear.  At no time in our history in the United States of America have we been more in need of a healing of our land.  Do you … Read the rest

Is There Joy In Your Journey?

Joy in the Journey

Are You Traveling Your Life’s Road

Filled With Joy?

There are so many analogies to life as a journey.  I picked up this print by Billy Jacobs at a sale and it gave thought to the journey of life. Traveling down this road called life there are many choices presented to you.  Do you stay on the straight road or detour to the left or right?  Do you enjoy the scenery of God’s bounty or complain about too much traffic, it is too hot, it is too cold, and the food is not the best?

Down the Drain

Do You Ever Feel As If Your Life

 Is Going Down the Drain?

If you watch water go down a drain it can sometimes make a swiftly moving funnel. What was a full calm sink of water now becomes a rapid release of all.  Once full, now empty.  It can happen instantaneously or progressively.  So it can be with the ebb and flow of life.  Some changes and seasons arrive in an instant while others come in so gradually as to be hardly noticed.  What seemed full is now empty.

Without a close walk with the Lord life changes can … Read the rest

Your Story

What Are You Writing
Each Day With Your Story?

 

Have you ever thought of your life as a story?  If you have chosen to make Jesus the Lord of your life you are the child of a King.  You are the child of not just any King but the King of kings and the Lord of lords!  With such a royal lineage are you aware that the way you live your life is being observed by all around you?   Even other royal children are watching.  Those outside of His court are also quite aware.  What are you writing?
