have you met MO?

As we drove down the Pacific Coast Highway last Sunday evening the waves were awesome.  The east coast is so different from the west.  We stopped a few times just to take pictures and watch the waves crash against the rocks.  The momentum was incredible.

It is much like the momentum, or MO as i will call it, that we have when God speaks into our lives.  We get excited and run toward God and with Him.  Those are great moments that we want, long for and love.

Yet Satan is always trying to get our attention and to stop our momentum.  Think about it.

For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!

Those verses remind me that when we get our priorities out of order or take our focus off of God we miss His best and lots of blessing.  Plus, it will steal our momentum.  My prayer is that we will let God drive us, guide us and love on us making us grow closer to Him.

Have you met MO?  Have you felt the momentum and the excitement when you hear from and see God work?  I see it, know it and feel it now.  But I also see things trying to rip it away from me.

Do everything in your power to keep MO with you.  Seek God.  Watch Him work and let MO (momentum) lead you and others closer to Jesus.

I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
