Today is a day to walk and pray
Today is one of those prayerful days. I will actually take more time by walking my way to work, praying each step of the way. We have a neighborhood party tonight at our church and I want to walk through the area and bless it with prayer before we bless it with fun! Lord, help me to take more time…

Too Busy for God
We are reading through the Book of Joshua this week as we being our summer journey through the Old Testament historical books in our church. Joshua 9 is the story of the Gibeonite deception. A group of Gibeonites came and negotiated peace with Israel because they knew Israel would run them over. Their only hope of survival was to fake…

Receive the Holy Spirit
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.” (Jn. 20:21-23, NIV) The resurrection is not about apologetics. It is not about superior reasoning skills…

We now join God already in progress
When I’ve watched some live sporting event and the game is over and they are ready to send you back to the regular schedule, or it’s a news flash and they are ready to leave the reporting, they will say, “We now return you to the program already in progress.” This is the activity of God. God is active. He…

The hope of breakthrough
Last night our church held a night of worship and prayer. Having a time of prayer doesn’t “draw” a lot of people, but the time is still incredible. Through prayer and song there were some bold steps in spiritual warfare that took place. There is a sense that this is a time of truly asking the Lord for incredible things.…

The tenacity of prayer

The ADHD Generation
13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold. (Psalm 106:13, NIV) Our walk with God today sounds too much like this verse. It shows the short term memory loss of humanity in every generation. It’s not just our ADHD issues! Whew! But it IS a problem as followers of Christ. We are…

Holy Spirit Prayer
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy. Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy. Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may…

We Wait in Silence
“Come, Holy Spirit, to console and strengthen Christians, especially those from the Middle East so that, united in Christ, they may be witnesses of your universal love in an area torn apart by injustice and conflicts.” Pope Francis I
