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”

It’s not what you do, it who you do it for
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. -Colossians 3:23-24 It’s not what you do, it who you do it for.Continue reading “It’s not what you do, it who you do it for”
Say Yes to Heaven’s Nudge
I’m reading through a book called, You Were Born for This by Bruce Wilkinson that talks about modern day miracles and how God wants us to be a part of the miracles he performs in our day and age. I read a passage early in the book tonight that spoke to me and I hadContinue reading “Say Yes to Heaven’s Nudge”
Expect a miracle today
Does God still perform miracles? Are we expecting to see them?
Making good habits
So starting habits. Bad ones are easy to start and good ones are hard. Why is that? Bad ones are ones that can seem fun at first, even fun down the road, but they aren’t good for you in some way. It may not be healthy or somehow distracting you from what you should beContinue reading “Making good habits”
God is on the move
Our God is an active God, he doesn’t stand still, he’s not overwhelmed, he’s not passive. God wants us to join him. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the roadContinue reading “God is on the move”
When the world hates us
I’ve recently seen some very hateful things spoken about Christians. A few examples I’ve seen are comparisons to ISIS. I quote one “The only difference between Christians and ISIS is that Christians haven’t started beheading people yet” This isn’t a ‘feel-good’ post, but it’s something we should all be aware of even though we mayContinue reading “When the world hates us”
Do Everything in Love
Last year our church had a sermon series entitled Last Man Standing that was one of my favorites of the year and really impacted my life in 2016. My favorite in the series is the one entitled Men or Boys . I had written a post Act Like Men about this back then that is worth the fewContinue reading “Do Everything in Love”
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?”
God Gives Us Enough Time
How many times have I said “I don’t have enough time”? I deliberately keep myself busy, because I hate to sit idle. This quote from Professor Bruce Hindmarsh struck me as I thought about being busy; Busyness is moral laziness [because it is often a statement of our self-importance and our excuse to be inattentiveContinue reading “God Gives Us Enough Time”
