connected to God


Prayer is part of our relationship with God.  We are challenged to make this relationship a priority.  Be reminded that God desires to have a close relationship with us.  

It is a relationship that is connected, not disconnected.  A relationship based on trust, not mistrust.  It is a relationship that brings us life, not death. It is communication at its height and it is often.

Ephesians 1:18  NASB
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, sothat you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

Flooded with light. Connection to God floods us with light. That is what Paul prayed for, and we can pray for the same.  Expect what you pray for as God guides and hears and responds.

Philippians 4:6  NASB
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be madeknown to God.

Anxiety or faith, worry and fear or truth and living by faith… It is prayer that is our connector or conduit, if you will, of all things God.  

1 Chronicles 16:11 NASB
Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His facecontinually.

Join me in seeking God. Here is where we find power, contentment, strength, peace and so much more!

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...
