Why live on purpose?  Some would simply say to live on purpose because you can be more productive and accomplish certain goals.  But this begs a larger question.  Do you believe that you were created on purpose?  I do not believe there are people who truly believe that they are just here by chance?  Yes, […]

Mother Teresa has said, “The hunger for love is harder to satisfy than the hunger for bread.”  I encourage you to take some time to really think about that statement, especially this Christmas season.  Most of the talk and action during this season is focused on satisfying the physical needs of people.  But the very […]

How we see and experience Christmas says everything about how we see church and our relationship with God.  What are your fond memories of Christmas time?  Has Christmas become more of an emotionally tough time a year for you?  Do you find yourself trying to force a spirit of joy and cheer this time a […]

What is your first response to the news of an approaching storm?  Is your response different if the storm is going to affect you personally?  How should Christians respond to news of a storm?  And how should we interpret the cause or purpose of the storm?  When it comes to interpreting the cause of storms […]

Any control freaks out there?  Jacob was a serious control freak until God wrestled out of him this deep bondage in his character, so he could move into the promise land.  You can read about this famous wrestling match in Genesis 32:22-32.  What does God […]

What is the priority plan of your house?  Whether you are married with kids or without kids or single we all need a priority plan.  A priority plan defines who we are and sets the foundation for how we make decisions and live out a calling rather than just making a living.  What were the […]

Have you heard or seen the term YOLO (You Only Live Once)?  It is the most recent texting terminology representing an old philosophy built around “living in the now.”   The problem is that without a proper perspective on our past and a clear hope for the future we cannot truly “live in the now” without […]

The picture attached to this blog was taken by a good friend of mine who lives in CO Springs.  He took this picture close to where he and his family live.  These destructive and out of control wildfires in Colorado have awakened many of us to a more desperate intercession to God for relief and […]

How Are You Treating God?
June 11, 2012
0
It is the people we love who can hurt us the most.  It is the people we are closest to who can hurt us the most.  We all know something of the hurt that can come from relationships.  But there is no relational hurt worse than the ache of a parent-child estrangement or the betrayal […]

It is one thing to believe in God, but quite another to be led by God.  It is one thing to believe in Jesus, but quite another to follow Jesus.  Who’s lead are you following?  Are you doing the job that God led you to or one that you chose to do?  Do you live […]
