Ruth 1:16 ESV
16 But Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you or to return from following you. For where you go I will go, and where you lodge I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God my God.17 Where you die I will die, and there will I be buried. May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”

Missing HFC
Missing my home church this morning at HFC. I am praying for Jared and the worship team add they have the high honor of leading people every week in worship, may Go power be on them. I am praying for Gods Spirit to speak through Josiah as he brings the message from Hebrews 11 this morning. I am so thankful for my church! Have a great morning in worship!

The Voice Of The Redeemed
Psalm 107:1-2, 6-7 ESV
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
He led them by a straight way
till they reached a city to dwell in.
If you have been redeemed, then let your voice...

We Are Engraved On His Palms And Not Forgotten
Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord has comforted his people
and will have compassion on his afflicted.
But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me;
my Lord has forgotten me.”

that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb?
Even these may forget,
yet I will...
A Couple of Nuggets On Running in Chandler, OK

9 But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man imagined,
what God has prepared for those who love him.
After watching the Denver nuggets get beat in overtime “live” in OKC last night I decided to run this morning while still in the Sooner state. “No eye had seen or heard” that Oklahoma had hills and...

Tomorrow your story will be told.

You may already know that we have been challenged to pray at 6:33 am and 6:33 pm daily for Steve and Trina in reference to Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first the kingdom of God...

The Grammys Don't Compare
And the grammy goes to?
That has been the news on twitter, Facebook, and the internet. Best album of the year, best artist, best new artist…and so on.
Personally, my vote goes to my church, our leadership, and the vision God has put in our hearts.
its such a blessing to work with such amazing people! From our childrens ministry, to youth, to adults, to music, to our fellowship, to...

Week 2 of February...LOVE is in the air
Do you remember that awkward moment of sifting through the little candy hearts at valentine’s day, wondering which one to give to Tammy Bell, or Kendra Dawson, or Cherie Wilcox, or more importantly Mrs. Soyez? Well, you wouldn’t know that awkward moment because those people weren’t in your life, but you can replace those names with your own and have the same story, I assume....

Praying for my daughter, my wife, and a whole crew of students and adults who just left Haviland on a road trip for Oklahoma City for their annual Believe Conference.
Please join in with me and pray for safety on the road, and a move of God to encamp in their souls as they will be challenged to follow and believe God at deeper levels!
I praise God for Josiah and his staff!

Walking And Running With God
[9] Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
[10] Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
[11] Give us this day our daily bread,
[12] and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
[13] And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

20 Minutes Till Kick-off
I am pumped for tonight. There is a buzz in the church right now. The building smells like home-cookin from our amazing ladies in the kitchen. Kids are running around outside because it’s spring in February. Ladies are getting ready to go over a Beth Moore study at the pastor’s house (with my wife…not me, that would be awkward!). Men are getting fired up to meet and talk...

Good Word For Today
There are days we ALL need this…good word for today!
[29] Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. [30] But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. [31] Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

The Faith That Produces True Worship
Today I was so encouraged by my weekly time with Jared Ross, preparing for Sunday morning. I am unbelievably blessed to work with such passionate and gifted people here in Haviland. Through our time of dreaming, and discerning what God is doing among our church people and community, it seems we always come back to worship as a lifestyle through our response to God, obedience to God, and an...
