remember

 


Psalm 77:11  NLT

But then I recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago.


It is a great thing to remember.  Tuesday, September 11, 2001 is one of those days that we say we will never forget.  The towers in New York City collapsed after being hit by airplanes killing hundreds of people, and there were the crashes at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania too.  We will remember.


There are lots of other days that we will remember.  Depending on our age there are dates that stick out to us.  I hear people speak of the day President Kennedy was shot, the day Pearl Harbour was attacked and others.  I remember the day Elvis Presley died, the shooting of President Reagan, when the space shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986 and others.


Each of those holds a special place in our hearts.  But there are also the things that God has done that I remember.  It might have been something God did or something that God used in my life.  The day I was saved I remember very well also the day my mom died, a day in my high school Bible class, the birth of my children and many, many more.


Remember those.  Remember what God has done.  Write those things down.  Take time to recall and even to share because others can learn from and even remember what God has done.


Hebrews 3:15  NLT

Remember what it says: “Today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts as Israel did when they rebelled.”


When we might pull away from God, He does not pull away from us.  We can remember His promises and hold tight.  We must remember and listen to His voice often.  We must remember and tell of the things God has done in our lives.  


Remember the promises God has given.  They hold true today and forever.  Remember there is more to come!

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...
