Funny thing about us. We can’t remember what we ate for breakfast this morning. We can’t remember where we sat the remote. We can’t find our car when we walk out of Wal-Mart. But we are all good at remembering our past sins, stumbles, and rough patches. We are excellent at recalling what others have [...]

As we conclude our series on Falling Into Your Calling, I want to talk with you about that gal or guy in the mirror, yourself. So many of us float through life a bit confused at what we are supposed to be doing…what direction our lives are supposed to take. What next? What job? What [...]

The Apostle Paul urges us to live a life worthy of the calling we have received, Ephesians 4:1, which great and all that…but what if you have no idea of what your calling is? Who are you supposed to be? What has the Lord specifically called you to do? Not easy questions, but I believe [...]

This week I pulled a weed from our church mulch. One tug and it came right out, and I dropped it next to where it had been growing. Left to die in the heat. What is remarkable is that the weed was only 6 inches from where it had just been thriving. It still had sunshine. [...]

Each of us have them. Those friends and family members we deeply desire to see come to the Lord. They may unsaved, totally lost, or may have just lost their way. We think about them. Pray for them. And as the Lord opens doors, we minister to them. And month after month, we carry the [...]

Whenever I talk about evangelism and growing the body of Christ, my gut says “Oh, NO. I’m going to have to witness to someone. Going to have feel other people looking at me like I’m a freak-show snake-handler. Please make evangelism go away.” We’ve all felt that way. The uncomfortable feeling before we speak up [...]

Remember the little frog your science teacher told you about in third grade? How the frog will grow used to the water, and though it is slowly heated, will stay put even if the water begins to boil. It’s an issue of comfort. Our lives are not too different. We have pressure from our boss, [...]
