    Being willing to reach out may take effort that we must be willing to do.

  • Bringing God a Sacrifice

    On Sunday we talked about worship.  However, we didn’t so much talk about the elements of worship like prayer, sermons, and music.  We talked about what those elements were supposed to do.  They are supposed to help us sacrifice. Sacrifice.  That isn’t a popular word today.  Sacrifice is something we ask of others, but we…

  • Remembering the Important Stuff

    I’ve been reminded over the last month how it is to be a little child. With Bible School a month ago and Children’s Camp last week, I have been reminded of the truths that we teach children.  Those truths aren’t minor.  Nor are they little.  They are the most important truths that we have.  They…

  • Moving from Acting to Doing

    I think of myself, even to this day, frozen on that diving board. I was taking swimming lessons, and it was my turn to jump. I had seen others jump. I had heard how to jump. I had even practiced on the side of the pool. Yet, there was something about going from theory to…

  • Those Who Came Before

    Yesterday was Memorial Day. It is a day that we remember in this country what those who have gone before us have done. Our service men and women show us that freedom is worth it. It is worth fighting for even if one will never get to use it again. Think on that for a…

  • A New Tool for Evangelism – Discipleship

    Last week I talked about Jesus helping you see your life in a new light. This week I want us to let Him show us how to see reaching others for Him in a new light.   Think for a moment how you generally assume people get into the family of God. The way that…

  • Troubleshooting 101

    When I was a kid, I did a lot of troubleshooting. No, I didn’t call it that back then, but I did it. When I was faced with a problem like a ball stuck on a roof, I would think through possible solutions until one presented itself. Sometimes, I would do foolish things to solve…

  • The Mystery of the Resurrection

    As we think this week about the resurrection, I want us to consider that the resurrection is God’s declaration about the cross. It is the declaration that the cross is not a failure. It is not a loss. It is victory. First, it is a victory of mystery. What is that mystery? It is the…

  • Be Excellent in what is Good

    Romans 16:19 I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. It is easy to be lost. I am very good at it. It isn’t being lost that I have trouble with. I have trouble with finding my way. If someone wants directions, they won’t get it from…
