Life on Mission 2016

What a joy of looking forward to the new year.  Yet I find myself in a strange transition as I become more aware of what GOD wants me to be and do rather than what I have always planned.  This process of sanctification I have studied and researched int he lives of others but as […]

Peanut Butter Jelly Time – June 2015

It is always a joy to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Putting the Gospel to action in our lives includes the fun and sometimes dangerous adventure of feeding the poor and reaching out to the children. This month was another stunning example of God’s mercy played out in our hearts as we ministered […]

The Spread of Christianity

The Gospel and the great commission was an impossible task for the twelve disciples. But they jumped in and did what they could, the Holy Spirit spread Christianity through the world!

Embarased

Yeah it happened, I was driving the church van and had someone pull along side me just as I sneezed into my hand … I am sure I was red-faced and looking for a kleenex or something to … yeah gross. I looked up and there was a young couple staring at me and laughing […]

Book List : The Explicit Gospel

Today I have 5 more books to read before the end of Lent … well to try and read.  This one is on preorder but won’t be done in time…. The Explicit Gospel Just because you go to church doesn’t mean that you are exposed (or exposing others) to the gospel explicitly. Sure, most people […]

Verse : Psalms 50:2-3

Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth. Our God comes; he does not keep silence; before him is a devouring fire, around him a mighty tempest. Psalms 50:2-3 I love how the Psalm speaks to the reader, clear and reliable judgment of God comes from the very nature around us, even the […]

Verse: 1 Timothy 6:20-21
