Christian – Exceptional Christian

Where are You?

Where are you? We all have our own ideas of how we will serve God, where we will minister, and what we should be doing for God. However, not always are our plans the same as what God has in store for us. Look at what Paul says; It has become clear throughout the wholeContinue reading “Where are You?”

Kingdom Partners

God could have set up the world with very different rules. He could have withdrawn after creation and let it run itself. A very distant God with no interaction with His creation. In this case prayer would be irrelevant and our petitions to Him would go unanswered. Or He could interact with us with frequentContinue reading “Kingdom Partners”

Am I an Exceptional Christian?

The title of this blog is Exceptional Christian, but what do I really mean by that? Does it mean I’m a great Christian? Nope not at all! I’m far from it in fact. I need a savior, if I was truly great I wouldn’t need one (nor would I be a Christian I suppose). In thatContinue reading “Am I an Exceptional Christian?”

He is Risen!

“He is risen”…..”He is risen indeed!” Mostly likely this Easter Sunday you’ll hear those words over and over again. I’ve seen them multiple times this morning already on social media sites. Those incredible three words, “He is risen”, have such a profound effect on our lives and our world since they were uttered 2000+ years ago.Continue reading “He is Risen!”

What are your idols?

The Bible over and over again warns of worshiping other idols. Back in Biblical times, many people and other nations worshiped other Gods and made idols to them of gold to which they sacrificed to, prayed to and trusted on for their needs. God warns about this and having idols take the place of him.Continue reading “What are your idols?”

Meditate on the Word of God – Psalm 119

As I was reading this morning, I came across a chapter in a book I’m working through about how important positive thinking is to our mental, spiritual and in fact physical being. In that reading, one of the precepts in making sure you have positive thinking throughout the day is to meditate on the WordContinue reading “Meditate on the Word of God – Psalm 119”

Nothing is too difficult….

….for you if God is leading you to do it. For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. -Philippians 4:13 As I’m sitting here going through my late Sunday reading (as an aside, I must say I’ve become much more diligent in reading my Bible. I’veContinue reading “Nothing is too difficult….”

Freedom to Live

For you have been called to live in freedom — not freedom to satisfy your sinful nature, but freedom to serve one another in love. -Galatians 5:13 I came across this verse this morning and it really struck a chord with me. I’ve talked to a lot of people over the years that thought becomingContinue reading “Freedom to Live”

Renewing Your Mind

Renewing Your Mind One of the more challenging verses in the Bible I think is Romans 12:2. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will knowContinue reading “Renewing Your Mind”

Start Your Day with Prayer

I stumbled upon this quote a little while ago and it really spoke to me so I had to put some words down about it. This is attributed to Martin Luther, if it was actually said by him, I don’t know…..but the quote has a lot of truth to it that it’s worthwhile looking atContinue reading “Start Your Day with Prayer”
