MEN on a MISSION day 5


Ephesians 3:20  NLT
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

This has been an excellent week.  As it comes to a close I look back on all the work that the Men On A Mission team has accomplished, and the verse above takes shape and reminds me or who is really in charge.

Does it surprise you that God alters your plans?  Not me.  I often have a list, sometimes on paper but all the time in my head, that I want completed.  This week and this work is much the same.  They have done more than I thought possible, but they have also completed projects that were not on my mind.

When we first visited the former American Standard Building Systems property, it was evident that through it’s being vacant and open to theft that many bad days have left it in great need.  The Community Fellowship led by our vision from God and our project leaders Kasim and Cindy Adams we are seeing it come together.

Our hope is to be in the building in 18 to 24 months.  That is seemingly a long time away, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The work done this week takes us to the next step.  No, it takes us 20,000 steps forward.  Come and see for yourself.  Come and lend a hand to help get it done.  Pray for the completion of the future campus.  It is going to be wonderful!

God really is good!  Now, go and use your gifts to make others stronger and better!

1 Peter 4:10  NLT
God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

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...
