Book Metaphors

I came across an entry in one of my notebooks, and it was good to be reminded that God is the Author of life, and He knows how to write and finish good stories. When life happens and things change, whether we like those things or not, we need to turn the page. And...

Looking Back Again

Round about a year ago, I was looking for a new job, a new place to live, and a new direction in my life. Now I have two jobs, a place to live, and enough direction to figure out where I should probably head from here. I'm probably going to sound like a broken record...

New Year, New Schedule

Once again, I find myself changing my blog schedule. I'll be posting my blogs on Tuesday, since my new schedule this year allows better writing time on that day. Speaking of new schedules, this past year has been full of changes for me. I went from one job to another,...

God Can Use Them?

In the Bible God used many people, most of whom were not considered very important until He got a hold of them. Let's dwell for a few minutes on who God has used in the Bible, and since He is the same God it will give us an idea of who He still uses today. When you...

Dry Bones and Revival

Let's talk about what happened in Ezekiel 37:1-14. Can you imagine how scarily amazing that must have been?! For starters I just wonder what I would do if God zipped me over to somewhere else, bodily or otherwise. Then I wonder how I would have responded when God...

Have Some Joy!

Yesterday in church we talked about joy. You can have joy in the middle of things that are not joyful (2 Corinthians 4:7-18 & 6:10a). Not that you'll be jumping around with a smile saying, "Boy, am I glad I'm in too deep!" But when you have God in your heart and...

More Wisdom Notes

I felt like sharing more of the notes that I keep. I pray that it's helpful. Self-control is restraint for the purpose of purity, exalting God and not yourself. If you get unexpected money, stop and ask God who it is for. Ask God what He wants you to do with it. God...

Praying Aloud

I don't normally look forward to praying aloud in front of people. But over time I have come to realize that praying aloud is important. Yes, you are talking to God and He is the only one who will answer your prayers, but when praying aloud you can actually bless...
