how we walk


Ephesians 5:15  NASB

So then, be careful how you walk, not as unwise people but as wise,


Far too often we miss the truth of what wisdom does.  Notice one of the major words and actions of the verse above.  Don’t miss it.


Be careful.


It is something you have to choose, to watch for, to make a conscious effort to do.  Be careful to do right, to go the correct direction and to know what is ahead and around.


Wisdom over foolishness.  Not like those who are unwise.  Look before you cross.  Listen with your ears and eyes.  I think you get it.


Ephesians 4:1  NASB

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called,


Then walk in a way that honors God and your calling from God.  He has set us up for good living and goodness.  His call gives us significance like nothing else can.  Take some time to choose wisely, not unwise.


Proverbs 2:7  NLT

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity.


Walk with integrity.


Proverbs 13:20  NLT

Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.


Walk with the wise people, not with those who get you in trouble.


Proverbs 22:5  NLT

Corrupt people walk a thorny, treacherous road; whoever values life will avoid it.


Walk like you value life.


And that is just a few.  Keep walking, and walk the right way!

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...
