Luke 10:42 ”But only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” I am so guilty of getting busy doing stuff that I don’t take time to sit at Jesus’ feet. Without great people in my life that have reminded me that taking time [...]

Winning people for Jesus: "It all depends upon the soil that the seed is falling on!"
Posted: September 25, 2007 in Faith, Love, new churchLuke 8:8 “Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up and yielded a crop, a hundred times more than was sown.” As I read this scripture this morning and reflect upon my own life I can see that I was bad soil for most of my life; in fact, anyone spending time on [...]
Daniel 7:14 “He was given authority, glory, and sovereign power; al people, nations, and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” This verse has so many implications for my life today. I guess the first [...]
Choosing Jesus: "It might get you killed, but it will definately save your life"
Posted: September 19, 2007 in FaithDaniel 6:10 “Now when Daniel learned that eh decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.” Perhaps Daniel’s world is not to far [...]
Luke 1:37 “For nothing is impossible with God” If nothing is impossible with God then that means that anything is possible with God. That means that God can take a ruined situation, a forgotten life, a broken world and transform into something of significance. It means that God is able to bring something out of [...]
The promise of God’s presence: "KISS (keep it simple stupid)"
Posted: September 17, 2007 in Faith, HopeEzekiel 43:9 “Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the lifeless idols of their kings, and I will live among them forever.” As I reflect upon this text today I can hear the call of God upon us today to stop prostituting ourselves to the world and worshipping the lifeless idols within [...]
God’s ability to bring life to our barren lives: "Making chicken salad out of chicken crap"
Posted: September 14, 2007 in Hope, new churchEzekiel 36:36 “then the nation around you that remain will know that I “the Lord” have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I, the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.” This is a great text for me to read today as I am preparing to go into a season [...]
Speaking God’s warning: "Caught between a rock and a hard place"
Posted: September 13, 2007 in Faith, LoveEzekiel 33:6 “But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.” This is the [...]
Daniel 3:17-18 “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king , that we will not serve your gods or worship the [...]
A life beyond my wildest dreams: "Being called by Jesus to, ‘get up! take your mat and walk.’"
Posted: September 10, 2007 in Faith, LoveJohn 5:8-9 “Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath.” Could it be that unless we come into contact with Jesus Christ we will never know God’s [...]
