What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? Is this you? My challenge is leading people who are not yet Spirit led. Fleshly people get offended easily and act like an unruly toddler. A fleshly person thinks everything is about them. You can be talking in generalities and they thinkContinue reading “Bringing up Baby”

Believe them.
What advice would you give to your teenage self? I would tell my younger self “when people tell you who they are, believe them.” People often say who they are by actions or words and we choose to ignore them. By doing that we spend a lot of years with a person who ends upContinue reading “Believe them.”
Normal Christianity
What bores you? Normal Christianity bores me. I need this type of Christianity that you read about in the Bible. Most people are content to read the Bible and go to church once in a while pray but not really see answers to prayers. I don’t want that. I want all of what Jesus said.Continue reading “Normal Christianity”
Life BC
Life BC (before cell phones) was better. It seems to me that life has gotten more complicated. Nowadays people are tied to jobs with a cell phone and an employer has access to an employee during hours normally reserved for family time. It’s not just work ties though, it’s also other relationships. Friends think theyContinue reading “Life BC”
Gifts
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. Gifts can be a problem. You’re obligated to like them even if you don’t. I once received for a Christmas present the worst gift ever because it was from a family member. I had to smile and say thank you. It was a plastic candy caneContinue reading “Gifts”
Undeserving of grace
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I didn’t deserve God at all. How I managed to escape the life I chose is incredibly miraculous. I tried to do life on my own for scores and I just kept getting worse. But God intervened when I humbled myself and criedContinue reading “Undeserving of grace”
I’d change this law
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? The law of sin and death is harsh. We are born into sin because of one man so we die. Thanks a lot Adam. However God in his mercy, sent Jesus so that through one man all may live eternallyContinue reading “I’d change this law”
Growth
Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time? Things change when you walk with the Lord. Old things pass away and you become new. You lose interest in the things the world does and you are changed to be interested in the things of God. Things I’m no longerContinue reading “Growth”
The difference between Christian and Jesus follower
Christianity is religion about Jesus. It uses the Bible and it’s centered around Jesus. Jesus followers use the Bible and they talk about Jesus. So what’s the difference between the two? Religion is about doing things: singing songs, giving money, taking communion. Jesus followers do all that, but there’s more. Jesus followers listen to theContinue reading “The difference between Christian and Jesus follower”
Will I win?
What would you do if you won the lottery? I can’t win because I don’t buy tickets. I don’t put my hope in money. I put my hope in God. It seems the more money a person has, the more miserable they are. In the outside they seem happy, but inside they struggle with relationshipsContinue reading “Will I win?”
