never give up

This weekend concludes our five week journey to fail proof our marriages.  Some of the people who have taken part in this series are married.  Some are not.  It is evident through the comments and conversations that many lives and many relationships have been strengthened or even saved.  Our prayer is that God would give us the ability to make great choices so we will see success in all our relationships.

Seek God.  Fight Fair.  Have Fun.  Stay Pure.  Never Give Up.  Each part is crucial to the success we want.  But above all we must seek God.  Seek God beginning by yourself.  Then we are to seek God with our spouse.  Make God your number one and above everything else.  That is no easy task.

God wants our marriages and our relationships to flourish.  The last piece of this says to NEVER GIVE UP.  Our culture says when it is too hard give up.  We learn that when you can't get your needs met give up.  But God says something very different.  God says never give up.  We make that vow the day we get married ... from this day forward ... till death do us part ... not easy, but it is right.  I pray that this weekend God will bring people our way who will see God in fresh ways.  I pray that God will heal our lives and heal our relationships.

Next week we begin our EASTER series which is in partnership with the new series running Sunday evenings on the History Channel.  It is called THE BIBLE, and in the following three weeks we will take a journey through the Bible to hear stories, to learn of courage and to lean on God with great faith.

Invite people to join us for worship on EASTER SUNDAY, March 31st at 10:10am.  People are more apt to say YES to our invitation than ever.  Who are you going to invite to church?  Have a great end of the week, and we look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we worship Jesus and learn to never give up!

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...
