This is Personal.

This is Personal. Matthew 26

Are you an observant person, or are you in your own head so much you miss a tremendous amount? For instance, do you pass by something rare and beautiful because your mind is flitting from this thing you have to do to what someone expects of you to some vague notion of something eating at you, though you haven’t stopped long enough to work that thought through? What do you fail to notice?

What did you notice…

What do you notice?

What do you notice? Matthew 26 - it is long, it is worth it.

No way around it – we’ve got to look at the whole chapter before we step a little closer. What do you notice, perhaps that you have never noticed before?

YOLO … sure about that?

YOLO … sure about that? Matthew 25.31-46

YOLO, or You Only Live Once ~ described a few years ago as the newest acronym you’ll love to hate.1 How true! I remember being in a crowded, hot gym one evening watching Dylan dance his one number for his IB Dance class, and hearing students yelling it ad infinitum, “YOLO!” Latin? Sort of. Actor Jack Black said it was dumb folks’ way of saying “Carpe Diem,” but in truth, YOLO falls woefully short of the principle of Seize…

God uses it all… even your rough stuff.

“Trust Me?” God asks.

You slowly nod.

“You know I’m FOR YOU, right?”

“Well yeah, I think.”

“Listen, I know that you are going through a rough time…

A Winning Mindset.

A couple nights ago, I sat down at a local eatery with my friends. When our petite server greeted us, I took in all of her tattoos and her sweet face. ‘What is the date about?’ Bill…

DIY: God Qualifies the Called

But Moses replied in the LORD’s presence, “Since I am such a poor speaker, how will Pharaoh listen to me?” — Exodus 6:30 HCSB

It used to be that if you had a problem with your toilet, you would call a plumber. If you had some faulty lighting, an electrician was the person to call. Whatever your need may have been, the logical thing…

“I am Here.” Love, God.

What are you looking for?

Who are you looking for?

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Eph 6:10-18

The Christian armour is made to be worn; and there is no putting off our armour till we have done our warfare, and finished our course. 2Ti 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: The combat is not against human enemies, nor…

FAITH THAT REACHES OUT

FAITH THAT REACHES OUT

by Claude Houde

Abraham was a man whose life was consumed by a faith that reaches out. He knew that faith without works is dead (see James 2:17). Genesis 14:11-16 uses simple yet clear words to reveal the scope and beauty of his decision when he learned that Lot and his family had been taken captive and had lost everything. “As soon as Abraham learned this . . . he brought…

In God We Trust.

In God we trust . . . it is our choice.

Reflecting the current goings-on in our world, I was thinking back over the last months. In November, I was on the highway travelling to Flagstaff, Arizona, to see my 20-year-old son, Dylan,…
