Today kind of piggy-backed off of yesterday, and unpacked the idea of getting to know God. Rick talked about desiring God and obeying Him, valuing what He values, and seeking after Him.
The point that really stuck with me was being honest with God. I find that often in my prayer life I’m praying about what’s […]
I love the way the PDL presents our journey to explore and know the vast personality of God. It’s an eternal journey, but it’s the one relationship we should take the most seriously. I get to know Him better by…
Reading His Word
Having conversations with Him (prayer).
Focusing on Him throughout the day.
Talking to others who are on […]
Total Surrender, that’s what God desires. It’s the goal of the Christian life; to give God everything we have. Today, Rick lists the blocks we face in surrendering to God…when we question “Can I trust God?”, and “Admitting Our limitations”.
Ultimately, when we trust God with everything we have, and embrace our limitations, we truly get […]
I love watching my 4 kids play together. It’s amazing the creative ways they think up to have fun. Many days they go out on our big trampoline just to jump. Recently, they decided it would be more fun to turn on the hose and add water to the jumping equation. It makes me crack […]
Today we began to read about the first purpose for our life - worship. God planned us for His pleasure. It strikes me, as we’re in this MADE series, how often I forget that I am here only because He MADE ME! Many times I begin to feel self-sufficient, and forget that I need Him for […]
Our first Power Source class kicked off last night, “Leadership In The MarketPlace“. This is going to be a cool week, with a number of new discipleship opportunities launching this fall. It was a blast for me to see so many show up to learn how to function as Christians in their businesses, and to […]
Sorry this is a day late, but Sunday was pretty busy for me
The main thought for reading #7 is, “It’s all for Him”. The question that arises is, “How can I bring glory to God”. This isn’t just a Sunday morning question, it means every part of my life.
How can I bring glory […]
Next Saturday we’re having a special men’s breakfast, called “the man-law breakfast”. We’ll be talking about what it means to be a Christian man, and having a blast doing it. It’s at 8:00 am on the patio of our church offices. Don’t miss it!
Somewhere on the blogosphere a while back I saw someone doing a […]
This life is a temporary assigment. I think at points we all struggle with that understanding. I know I do. We live like this life is all there is. As followers of Christ, this shouldn’t be. We ought to live with a desire to impact this world for Christ, and to proclaim His name.
Interesting point […]
“Life is a test, and life is a trust“. These are the two premises of today’s reading. As I read, it really struck me that this life is a test of how we handle the things God trusts us with.
We often get caught in the trap of thinking that stuff is ours: our money, our […]
