We are continuing to reflect on Jesus' words to his disciples recorded by the apostle John at the Last Supper. In the last blog we discussed staying plugged into the source of life, Jesus. This week we want to continue in the verse because there are two themes that are produced from Jesus' previous instructions.
Read MoreI was sitting in my house with my family and I noticed something, we were all engaged with an electronic device. We all had some form of entertainment in front of us and what's worse is the TV was on with cartoons.
Read MoreOne of my favorite things about the Old Testament is the types and shadows that point to Christ. This scripture is one of those pictures. This is describing the turban setup of the high priest, where he had a plate mounted on the front of the head
Read MoreSometimes in life we have stress and problems that weigh on us. I have had countless times where I will wake up in the middle of the night because I am wrestling with a problem either at work or in my personal life. Have you encountered those times where you had no idea what to do?
Read MoreThankfulness has been something that the Lord has been really highlighting to me in my personal life lately. I have been convicted about how I have been so caught up in what I have going on and the business of life that I have neglected to pause and be grateful for the those around me.
Read MoreThe best laid plans of mice and men…
I remember the first time I heard this saying, I believe it was sophomore year when we read the book Of Mice and Men. At the heart of this book was the reality that no matter what our intentions our plans don't always work out.
Read MoreIf you have been reading this blog for a while you know that I love talking about the Word of God, and how it impacts our lives. It is not necessarily intentional it just happens because I truly believe that the Bible is our daily bread. It is something that we must rely on every day, the more I devour the Word the more I realize how necessary it is today.
Read MoreHave you ever had a situation where things were not working out for you, and finally it boiled over and you snapped? Yeah I have had that too many times to count.
Read MoreI like to watch sports, and it is really fun to watch a football or basketball team that is really talented. I think it is great when the stars of the team are at the top of their game and they are just dominant over their competition.
Read MoreIt is amazing how fast summer moves, isn't it? It seems like poof and June is already gone. Summer has become so busy with house projects, parties and events for the kids. Has your summer gotten busy?
Read MoreThe wilderness is not a fun place. Have you ever been in a barren land where there is nothing around? I used to have a job selling power lines and I would go out with our engineer and stake routes for the power lines. We would typically be doing this for oil and gas companies, but this one particular time we actually went to a uranium mine
Read More"For I have chosen him so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised." Gen 18:19
Read MoreI began writing this blog on the morning of May 11th. I was gripped by the scripture below in my prayer time. I could not shake the need to pray for those that were gripped by darkness and bondage. As I prayed my focus was on those enslaved by addiction and the bondage of drugs, alcohol, and other addictions
Read MoreI sat back and thought, wow, blessed is the man you discipline! That is not two terms that I would associate together. The next time I have to go into the bedroom to discipline my child I am going to say "Son, I am about to bless you."
Read MoreI am getting ready for the upcoming camping season. As my wife and I have been discussing what needs to be done, we have realized that it takes a lot of preparation for us to have a successful camping season.
Read MoreHave you ever hunted with a trap? I haven't either or at least successfully. I remember as kid my cousin and I would try to catch a local skunk in a box trap at our cabin. We would stay up all night trying to see if we could get him, however we were always out smarted by the skunk.
Read MoreThe little decisions we make have a massive effect on our lives. We have so many seemingly meaningless decisions, yet they end up so consequential. One habit that I developed while travelling for work was to listen to sports talk radio.
Read MoreHave you ever tried to have a conversation with kids around? Just as you are in the middle of the sentence explaining this intense conversation at work you hear: "Mom, I'm hungry!" or "Dad, can I watch sumthin?"
Read MoreAge has a funny way of changing your perspective. When you are young you have a different perspective than when you are older. Youth has a way of leading one to believe that they know it all. When you get older you look back and see the foolishness of youth…
Read MoreI love reading through the Bible, but there are some places where it can be very tough to get through. I have to admit that when I hit the genealogies I put on my speed reading glasses to blaze through. The major and minor prophets can be another challenging and confusing stretch of scripture.
