I’ve written about this before. But this is something I have to continuously be reminded of. The way my mind works, I tend to go big from the start. As I deal with my health issues, my mind still goes to the big things. How can I make an impact not only in my communityContinue reading “How to Change the World”

Intentionally Bless Someone Every Day
As we prepare for this Christmas season, it will be easy to get caught up in the secular meaning of Christmas. To prepare for family gatherings, to go shopping and make sure we have gifts for everyone. We spend a ton of time decorating our houses. Many believers will take the time to attend theContinue reading “Intentionally Bless Someone Every Day”
Blessed to be a Blessing
A common saying around our church is “We are blessed to be a blessing.” God showers blessings on His people not so we can keep those blessings all for ourselves, but so we can bless others. Blessing others is enlightening and brings such joy to me personally, it helps me look for opportunities whereContinue reading “Blessed to be a Blessing”
The cup that overflows
I ran across the story in Matthew 14 where Jesus feeds the 5000. Most have heard the story I’m sure. The focus typically is that Jesus fed 5000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Pretty amazing stuff really. However, one thing I’ve overlooked in the past happens in verse 20. They Continue reading “The cup that overflows”

Great is thy Faithfulness
I remember attending church as a child, the hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness was always a popular hymn on any given Sunday. I never gave it much thought though until the other night, I awoke in the middle of the night with that phrase running over and over in my head. I couldn’t fall backContinue reading “Great is thy Faithfulness”
Roaring like a lion
This past week has been a lesson in the meaning of this Christmas season and a show of the love of Christ. Near a small town 30 minutes from my home, there is a small village instead another. One made of tents and inhabited by those that are living on the margins of society. God ledContinue reading “Roaring like a lion”
While we were sinners, Christ STILL died for us.
A favorite verse of mine is: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. – Romans 5:8 Notice what isn’t said in that verse. It doesn’t mention that Christ died only for the clean or the healthy, it doesn’t mention that he diedContinue reading “While we were sinners, Christ STILL died for us.”
Do Something Amazing in Your Day
The Lord replied, ‘Look at the nations and be amazed! Watch and be astounded at what I will do! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it.’ -Habakkuk 1:5 These words were spoken to the prophet Habakkuk when he cried out to GodContinue reading “Do Something Amazing in Your Day”
