Deciding to Follow Jesus or Seeking Jesus?
If “if’s and but’s were candy and nuts we would all have a merry Christmas…or at least rotten teeth. My grandfather would give me that statement quite often as a representation of seizing the moment. Spiritual moments are no different. The seeker must still seize the moment when God is speaking. You either follow or not. I was raised in a Friends Church and have now...
New Thru 30 Week 3 - What If?
If “if’s” and “but’s” were candy and nuts, we would all have a Merry Christmas!
I love that line, always have! To me it says, no excuses “Just Do It.”
What if Micheal Jordan never said, “Just do it!”? Actually he probably didn’t, but it was a brilliant marketing campaign by Nike.
What if Martin Luther King never had a...

From MLK’s sermon “Loving Your Enemies,” delivered on November 17, 1957, at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama:
To our most bitter opponents we say:

We shall meet your physical…

The Experience of Christ
Followers and believers in Jesus are not men, women and children who simply hope for salvation, but those who have experienced it.
I’m fired up again about God’s word and how it moves me! I know this is the second day in a row that I have posted this passage, but maybe I should post it everyday for the rest of my life if that’s what it takes for me to truly understand...

New Thru 30 Week 2 - What's Your Experience?
Week 2 has begun. I pray that the ambition you may have felt in the beginning of this series is remaining true in your heart today. Everywhere we go you will find our culture pushing people, students and children to perfection. You will find it in sports, in education, in the workplace, in our homes, and sadly even in our churches. Perfection is hard to grasp in our minds simply because its...
What Am I Excited To Read?
“Should the leader allow himself to succumb to the visions of those he leads, will always seek to turn him into an idol, then the image of the leader will become the image of the misleader. This is the leader who makes an idol of himself and his office, and less, mocks God.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I just got this in and am so excited to jump into it and learn from one of the...

In chapters 10-11, Plummer offers some general principles for interpreting the Bible:
Approach the Bible in prayer.

In the book of Acts Peter and John were on a mission to proclaim and declare what they had seen in Jesus and His ministry. They were on a buzz mission! They were on a mission to continue what Jesus...
Happy New Year / 2011 Verse
Happy New Year! My prayer this year is to spend more time in God’s word. Because that is my desire, I chose a verse that would mark it.
