Oh be careful…

Earlier this week I was reminded of a habit I had during a season in my life. A good habit! My current Sunday school class is about Habits of the Household with content coming from the book by Justin Early. It takes a look at the habits of our rhythms and routines of the dayContinue reading “Oh be careful…”

“Glory in the Darkest Place”

Happy New Year my friends! This evening I am sharing yet another song! :D. This song caught my ears and attention just before Christmas. I was captivated by the words of prayer and worship. It spoke to the part of my mind/heart that was a bit weary in response to the sin and temptation thatContinue reading ““Glory in the Darkest Place””

Behold Him!

Christmas Day is upon us! :D. I like words. Okay, yes that seems to jump thoughts. I like some words. Better? To today’s point, some words seem to grab a hold of my heart, mind, and soul just a bit more than others. Often I don’t think those words are used as much in ourContinue reading “Behold Him!”

Designed & Defined vs. Described

Have you heard one of the newest CCM hits by Megan Woods called “The Truth”? Oh my gracious, the lyrics are rich with music that grabs your ears and a voice that captures your attention. She reminds me a bit of Adele! :). The lyrics of the whole song are worth meditating upon. For theContinue reading “Designed & Defined vs. Described”

“There is One Gospel”

In my last entry I shared the YouTube video of the song ” There is One Gospel”. by CityAlight. Following up on that I am sharing the lyrics here. Take some time reading and considering the messages being shared. Too often I suspect when we sing songs we get in the habit of singing wordsContinue reading ““There is One Gospel””

I recently picked up a the book “A Gospel Primer for Christians” by Milton Vincent once again. I believe, I may have shared from it in previous posts. What I share today comes from entry #27 Mortifying the Flesh with Fullness. It is so good! I nearly want to share the entire entry with you.Continue reading “Fullness”

Victory?

Recently I have found myself with an actual desire to read. For the folks that know me well, they understand that reading is not something I am particularly drawn to do. 😛 Regardless, it has been good as it has been feeding and challenging my heart and mind. I have picked up the book YouContinue reading “Victory?”

Vulnerable Risk — Part 2!

I’m back! I’m excited to be back. Excited to share with you the written words of a brother in Christ being vulnerable with the Lord as he journaled. Just like you and me, he is on a journey with God wrestling with thoughts and emotions and then God speaks providing wisdom through a word picture.Continue reading “Vulnerable Risk — Part 2!”

Vulnerable Risk?

I recently attended the Restored Hope Network’s annual conference in Rocklin, CA! What a joy to be with Jesus and others on the same journey; listening, sharing, praying, worshipping and learning. One of the speaker’s shared a quote that impacted their journey significantly. “If you want to experience unconditional love, you have to share theContinue reading “Vulnerable Risk?”

Joy in Jesus!

A piece of my local church’s belief and mission statement is that we find our “greatest joy in Jesus”. Sometime little sayings like this nudge a little eye roll or an off put attitude – even though I know it is good truth. In the times when I personally reflect upon my struggles with temptation and oftenContinue reading “Joy in Jesus!”
