    Founding documents

    We are getting ready to sell our church building and have had people doing some clean out projects. I am thankful some folks going through some old files recognized some buried treasure. In the old boxes were the first Constitution and ByLaws of our church and this announcement calling for the first official meeting of the church to set up…

    Don’t make it about what it WAS

    We need a deep shout of truth into the deepest part of our spirits. We need to understand the control we live under. It’s not the flesh any longer. Romans 8 has Paul demonstrating there are two allegiances, but in v. 9 delivers such a powerful shout of truth that needs to reverberate into the deepest parts of our spirits.…

    Where our minds dwell

    We get the opportunity to choose where our minds settle. We can choose our thought patterns in many ways. It is work. Too often it is so much easier to “drift” and allow the junk to float right in. Let us choose to reflect on the goodness of God today. I will dwell on your mighty acts, my Lord.     Lord, I will help others remember nothing…

    What I “bank” on

    I want to “bank” on the extravagant love, beauty, and power of Jesus. When those not following Christ currently encounter him through me, HIS incredible beauty shines through.

    What I’ve been missing on social media

    To this point I’ve done somewhat well on “fasting” from social media. But it doesn’t mean I still don’t catch “what’s hot,” because even the “news” has to report it. I only read the headlines because I just don’t get it. Something about a dress. I may never go back to social media again. 🙂

    To the mountain of the Lord

    Let us ALL be of the generation that seeks the Lord. Could we quit dividing this up? (THIS is the “generation” that seeks God. As if anyone over 25 is incapable?) Let us ALL be of the generation that seeks God! Let us go UP!  Who can ascend the Lord’s mountain?     Who can stand in his holy sanctuary? 4 Only the…

    The social media “fast”

    I am working hard to be away from social media, in that I’m not checking it. My blog posts show up. But I’m trying to save a lot of hours, literally, by staying off social media. But I couldn’t resist this comic strip.

    The value of a digital Bible

    It was simple. I was going over to the library of the college where I teach to do some study. My physical Bible was with me as well as my notes on the passage I was working on. Within three minutes of getting into the library I found the huge advantage of what I had built in a small way…
