Leaders Must Be Known For The “Right Stuff”

Proverbs 22:1 (NIV) A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.

For everyone, especially leaders, two attributes are more desirable than all the wealth we can accumulate: to be well spoken of and to be held in high esteem by others.

Both point to personal purpose: knowing who you are and what your purpose is. I hope you have a handle on that.

A.W. Tozer offered seven “tests” for us to use when we… Continue

Words create worlds!

I heard this statement this morning, and how so true! For God only SAID: Let there be light!! and so it was!

God spoke the words and it came to fulfillment! Awesome

Can we do that? Speak into your circumstance, your situation and change it, make it new, create something out of nothing ?

No not usually... and I thought why not?

BEcause we do not accept the grace of God!

When we are introduced by God, it is in our hands if we are accepting Him or rejecting… Continue

Support Group (NA)

Hello everyone. I finally found an NA group at a local Catholic parish and attended for the first time on Thursday of last week. It was enlightening. The majority of the people in the group were very young and all part of the same Job Corps that my son graduated from more than a month ago. This did not both me much, but I did long for people my own age to relate to. They all went around and shared their experiences, but it took so much time that the hour was up before we knew it and I had no… Continue

This is my problem.....

I just bought a new book by Gregory A. Boyd titled "The Myth of a Christian Nation". Gregory is well educated and has written many books on the subjects of Christ and Theology.

My problem with this book is this:

1. The book has a total of 9 chapters 189 pages total. So for the most part it is a small book.

2. The subject of this book is to explain to all of us why he thinks politics and the Church shouldn't be mixed. As in the church should not indorse any political party.… Continue

Leadership Challenge

Acts 6:1-7

In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this… Continue

New Book Started......

I received a new book in the mail yesterday. Some time ago I stubbled upon a website that caught my attention. A Lutheran paster was imprisoned for his Faith, and was beaten, starved, and most other unheard of things.
Well, to make along story short, after his release he wrote this book called "Torture for Christ" By Richard Wurmbrand.
Started the first chapter late last night and it's amazing!
I wish all of you have the chance to see this wonderful book.
God bless.....

GT JAIL IS SWEET!

Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 12:27pm | Edit Note | Delete

I'm sure you're probably wondering why in the world I would say something like that about the Co. Jail! I would never have said that in the 'old days!' Well, it's sweet because GOD ROCKS IN THE JAIL, that's why!!

I went back in last night, after what seems like months of not being there, and it was 'sweet!'

I sat in the parking lot and waited for time to go in. I was praying and all day I was asking the Lord to… Continue

Doing Good, but WHAT Good?

We read in the Bible that Jesus went about doing good. (See Acts 10:38.) That included many, many healings and deliverances. And because we are Christ's, we too will only want to seek to do good to others.

However, there is a trap!! We must be careful not to get so caught up in good works, that we are not doing God's work.

Let's look how Jesus handled all this when He was on earth. Even though He was God, He was human like us, with the limitations of a physical body. He… Continue

Men and The Bible. pt.2.

Their Responsibility to his Wife.

If the men of today would read and understand the scriptures, we would see less spousial abuse, for a woman was not put into this life to be beat upon or abused, this action constitutes sin.

Let us read a little and understand the importance of a wife among men.

"And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"

Daughter Of God--Why so downcast o my soul?

Precious Heavenly Father...
Why so downcast o my soul? FOR I HAVE THE LORD!!
Why do i not then reach out for you, when feeling low? FOR YOU SAID, "I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU!"
Why then do i not pray, as I should; asking you to rid me of these toxins? FOR YOU ARE MY ROCK!
Forgive me of these Glorious Majesty...for you know HOW I LOVE YOU SO!
Wrap your loving arms around me as youve done so many times before...THANK YOU FATHER. Amen.

Finding The Truth in The Storm

Going through the storm
you are never alone
the hand that guides you
is as strong as stone,
Though the rain pounds down
and the winds of life rage
no matter how strong it is
Jesus is your safe cage,
Just take his gentle hand
and let him lead you
through this life,
and on to eternity where
there will be no more
strife.
