Great Reads from 2015
Well another year has come and gone. Another year of great reads is complete. I did not read as much as I wanted but this was a very busy year for a variety of reasons. As you will see I have a rather eclectic reading list. Also read quite a bit on the historical wring […]
The Dreamer’s Pain
There must be a thousand blogs written to help one discover and live out their dreams. I guess my blog is one of those. We serve a God who gives us dreams which are often glimpses into a future he has ordained for us. Sometimes the dream for the future is given through a promise […]
No – They are Not Thugs
Crime runs rampant in our nation. The pain and struggle between the different races and classes in our nation grows stronger as time goes by. A couple of weeks ago during the protests in Baltimore someone (not sure who) felt the solution was to refer to the rioters as “thugs.” People were literary burning down […]
Another Year of Great Reads – What I read in 2014
I have a simple goal to read just 20 books each year. I know there are many who read a lot more than that but 20 is the right number for me. In 2014 I barely completed that goal by reading 21. It was a busy year. Please note that the lack of comments […]
A Priest for The World
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” – Mark 2:5 This verse in Mark (also found in Luke 5:20 and Matthew 9:2) has always been a favorite of mine. Four men cared so much about their paralyzed friend they were willing to risk climbing onto […]
The Mission Field of Daily Life
The church must take up the mantle of being sent by God to bring a lost and hurting world to Jesus. We are sent to wherever we happen to find ourselves at this moment. – As we are going we make disciples “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on […]
Making Ministry Simple Every Day
Ministry every day really is not difficult. At least it should not be. We have a lady that has been faithfully attending life church for over a year now. It is amazing to see how her relationship with Jesus has grown. For many months she had been out of work and each week we would pray […]
It is Worth it All
I know there are those that think ministry is all glamorous and all Pastors do is spend an hour or two getting ready to preach. Yet there really is a lot that goes on behind the scene. For the majority of Pastors who lead small churches we really do take on a lot of different […]
Birthing Something New is Always Messy
The hospital room may be spotless and sterile, but birth itself will always take place amid chaos, pain, and blood. —Steven Pressfield I will never forget the birth of my three children. They were wonderful events but to the natural eye they were a messy event. Chris was my first born. Janice and I were […]
Urgent: Proclaim the Kingdom of God
Summoning the Twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons; and power to heal diseases. Then He sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. – Luke 9:1-2 Sadly the church and as individuals we have taken this scripture too lightly. It is so easy to […]
Pastor, Leadership Coach, Speaker: I am enthusiastic about helping others discover their purpose and grow into a deeper relationship with Jesus. It is great to see their eyes light up at their “Ah Ha!” moment when they discover they were created for something more.
