Road Signs – Psalm 119:10
I am reading through the Bible this year and this was part of my reading today. Psalm 119: 1-16 (MSG) 1You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. 2 You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. 3 That’s right—you don’t go off [...]
Pressing On In 2010
Sometimes I just feel like I am under attack. It never ceases to amaze me at how one little sickness can completely derail everything that I have going on. I am very thankful that we all made it through Christmas in good health, but 2 days after our big Christmas party the whole family gets [...]
Collaborative Bible Reading
When Faith and I started dating back in 2001, we decided that it was necessary for us to take certain steps to make Jesus a vital part of our relationship. Part of that plan was to read the Bible together, but we were not able to sit down together everyday to read it. So we [...]
What Do You Boast?
I have been chewing on these verses since yesterday. This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that [...]
Feels Like A Fight
I came across Jeremiah 1:19 yesterday and I have really enjoyed chewing on that for a while. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you, declares the Lord. Sometimes life really feels like a fight. Last week was a pretty rough week for me. [...]
Thoughts on Ephesians Chapter 2
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Dictionary.com defines workmanship as the art or skill of a workman or workwoman. The quality or mode of execution, as of a thing made. The product or result of labor [...]
Bible Study Overload And Loving It
I am up way too late dropping this post, but when creativity hits I have to write. Also I have been having blog withdrawal this week not being able to write a lot. So I am neck deep in Bible Studies right now. You may have heard about this little series we are doing at [...]
Want to Try Bible Study on Facebook?
Joe Boyd is the Teaching Pastor at VCC and he is organizing a Bible Study through Facebook during Lent. I have signed up and I think it would be cool to get some people that I know to sign up too. Here is a clip from Joe’s blog about the study. I mentioned a while [...]
Learning From The Bible – Luke 17:3
I was reading through Luke 17 today and came across verse 3 and something struck me when Jesus said, “So watch yourselves! If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.” (NLT) The word ‘believer’ jumped all in my face. I checked a couple other versions and saw that they used [...]
What Is Your Ministry?
I have been involved in several different ministries for the past 10 years and I feel that something new is on the horizon. Currently I help to lead a student small group and I am also a part of an adult small group. I am also working on better ways to disciple my children as [...]
