all for His glory


You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail.

What really has hold of your heart?  You and I can answer that in many different ways, but it is the answer of the people who watch our lives that often tells the real story.  No, I am not saying that you would lie or that we would twist what we believe.

It is evident that what has our heart is where we lean, where we spend money and where most of our time is spent.  Take a survey, a personal one.  Be honest.  Where are you spending the most money?  Where are you spending the greatest amount of your time?

When we don’t push against God but work with Him, we will get more done.  We will bless more people and make a greater impact on the world and the people around us.

Oppose God or go away from God and we will miss some of the greatest possibilities that may be in our path.  That path has been built by our God for our good and uses the gifts and abilities that we have been given.

What is the reason we should seek God?  Is it because we want to have an easier life?  That is not the way it works.  Yet the fact or the reason we should seek God and obey what He says would be so God gets the most glory.  That really is the plan behind it all.

Ecclesiastes 3:14  NLT
And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God’s purpose is that people should fear him.

May our lives, our choices and what holds our heart be a spotlight on our God so that many people will come to love Him and know they are loved by Him!

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...
