DAY 2 men on a mission

When the ground soaks up the falling rain and bears a good crop for the farmer, it has God’s blessing.

The first day was good, but it is time for day 2 of the Men On A Mission team work on our new campus. As always these men work hard and get more done in a work day than we can imagine.

By working together we are so much stronger. I have known for years that people with skills are important to accomplishing big things, and this group of more than 75 men has displayed that fact. There is one particular group that I enjoyed watching today.

Their leader is a skilled worker. Seems like he can work with wood or metal or steal or with a rag tag bunch of guys. He completed a couple projects before mid afternoon and then completed a third. You could look at the various guys and see they flat worked hard and got it done.

We are go grateful that this team has chosen to be a part of our new campus and our church family. It is our belief that God is going to help us complete this building. We also believe that if He doesn’t show up that we will fail. This is an act of faith.

Day 2 is going to provide opportunities to grow, to work hard and to see more of how this property will open possibilities of ministry and God’s love for our community and beyond.

Please pray for this team, for the completed buildings and for many, many lives to be changed by the work of God.

Acts 11:23 NLT

When he arrived and saw this evidence of God’s blessing, he was filled with joy, and he encouraged the believers to stay true to the Lord.

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...
