At the top of your lungs!

Etched in my mind is a scene of two men confined to a dark prison. They are bruised, bloodied and battered, but yet they are singing to God at the top of their lungs. What in the world?! Their behavior was unnatural and certainly illogical. But sing they did, praising God in spite of physical pain and exhaustion, their feet secured in stocks. It seems they couldn't keep from praising God.

And then a funny thing…

Do Ya Have a Place?

I'm askin - do ya have a place of prayer?

"Yeah, I do," she said, "at my kitchen table, every morning."

"Yeah, I do," he said. "I pray with a bunch of guys-my brothers--people I trust."

Well, which is it? Is a place of prayer the place you privately pray, or is it the place you go when you have cares - great or small - to be surrounded by people of faith who will hold you close and pray with you?

Yes. It is one. It is…

Fear of.....

Fear can and will stop us in our tracks. Rightly so at times. Because fear, healthy fear can keep us alive. Fear can and will also stop us from being the people God meant us to be. Fear can come from lies that we have told ourselves or that others have told us about ourselves. Such as, "I'm just not good enough" or "Your not good enough". "I'm not smart enough"I can never help because I'm just not enough of....Whatever.

In my own life my own brokenness helped reinforce the lies that…

Are you a good listener?

Are you a good listener? Acts 16

"Honey, you're not listening to me!" your wife has oft said.

"Mom ... mom, did you hear me? Are you even listening?" your teenager says to you, or maybe you say to him!

We all want to be listened to...we all want to be heard. Even God. Sure, maybe you have practiced your active listening skills in therapy or even good business practice seminars, but are you a good listener…

The New Jerusalem

Something we are all looking forward to seeing the most is picturing what its going to be like. Together with our loved ones and with the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. All of our tears will be wiped away. Our sorrow and shame will be sanctified through our Lord Jesus Christ. Their will be no more pain, no more suffering, and no more sin. In a world that is looking for ways to find peace and prosperity, I have faith that we can find our hope in Jesus. Then we can shout with victory and…

Life is worthless if you don't live for God.

Live for God. God should be our first and foremost priority. Life is simply nothing if you don't know God. What's the use of living your life if you don't get to know the most precious thing and the one who is the only reason for your birth. Always seek for knowing Him more and more everyday. Live life for God. Love You God. Amen..

God its so sad to see people so sad.

God its so hard for me to see people so sad and unsatisfied even its more worst to see other people sad rather than my own. People are so troubled and full of tensions. And the main reason falls on to the teenage love. Everyone is so worried about love and the sadness seems so vulnarable. And i hate them to see in tears. Please make everyone's life better. I love You God. Amen..

Choose your next step wisely

Choose your next step wisely.

Of Paul and Dylan.

Sometimes he is brilliant-fluid in motion, very creative and eloquent.

Sometimes he takes risks that flirt with great danger.

He prefers to live life on the edge.

This picture of Dylan captures all of that1:…

Do something about it!

Prayer for America. November, 2017.

It is time to earnestly pray for our country-to pray that hatred would be turned toward healing of broken hearts and minds. Friend, this is about you, about me; it is for our children and grandchildren, for the generations to come. Read this prayer and consider its humble words; share this prayer with others and continue to pray it…

Fresh off the Airplane in Wake Forest

Fresh off the Airplane in Wake Forest.

Why do we strike up conversations with strangers anyway?

Which ones are divine? (conversations, that is)

Sometimes when I fly, I seat my seat in the seat and quickly pull out a book to study or my laptop to write. But occasionally, things roll out differently . . . and I talk to my seatmates.

Such was the case on my connection from Houston…
