Before 2012, take a moment to Remember...
For Katie and I we make it an annual tradition to take time at the end of the year to remember and write down All that God did for us in that year.
Verses like this one below is what inspires me to do this.
“Deuteronomy 4:9
Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live....
What will be the message of your 2012?
Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us. (1 Peter 2:12 NIV)
Our lives are designed to be a billboard for the greatness of God.
Now our lives are a billboard whether we want it be or not. The question is, “what is the message your billboard is saying?”
Is your life a...
Do what u know...
God has all of us on a journey of growth. So Don’t be anxious about all that you “wish” you knew, just dedicate yourself to what you do know…
Like James 4:17 says…
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:17 NIV)
Now I see....
Just hit my 30’s today! And now I’m finally as smart as my wife! :) (she is 1 month older)
“Do you give Him your words, but deny Him your life?”
– Titus 1:16 NIV

Heading home! // Reflections on Freese's Game...
As I watched game 6 of the 2011 world series (Cards VS Rangers) something hit me as Freese hit the stand up homer to win the game.
Once his team saw it was a home run, they all rushed the home plate to wait for him to come home. You could see that Freese was excited about what just happened, but his buddies at home were cheering, they were yelling they were partying! And all their eyes were...

First Class Relationships (accelerate you)
Relationships have the power to accelerate your life!
The other day I had the opportunity to travel with Pastor Kevin Gerald. He flew first class, while I flew coach. Normally as a coach passenger you wait in the longer security check line. But because I was traveling WITH Pastor kevin, I got to go to the front of the line with him.
That experience made me think how true that is in our...

Bring it to Jesus......
Matthew 14:17 ”We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” 18 “Bring them here to me,” he said.
When the disciples made It public to Jesus what “they had”, his response was “bring it to me.” Simple thought & simple question: “Have you brought what you have to Jesus?”
You have a business savvy mind, great, bring it...

Take Your Stand...
As the story of David’s 3 mighty men are being told in 2 Samuel, you see a pattern. The enemy is coming, the “crowd” gets scared and runs, one of these mighty men stays and “takes their stand” and it says the Lord brought a great victory.
2 Samuel 23:12 But Shammah took his stand in the middle of the field. He defended it and struck the Philistines down, and the...

Are you a KILLER?
Before you claim innocence of murder, lets probe the question further.
Have you ever participated in “KILLING TIME”?
I would say one of the most devastating things that someone can do is to throw away this precious gift we have called “TIME”.
Now I know you may think that Im being a bit to intense or maybe dramatic about the whole thing. And your asking me...

In 1 Samuel 1:28, Im challenged as a Parent by the statement that comes from Hannah. (the mother of Samuel the prophet)
When she receive the gift of a baby boy, she makes this powerful statement:
1 Samuel 1:28 So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.”
Each version uses some different words for the word “give” in the verse above....

Do you measure up?
Galatians 6:14(MSG) For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others and fitting into the little patterns that they dictate.
I think that verse basically speaks for itself. We waste precious time when we spin our wheels...
