God is big


Here is an e-devotion I shared 14 years ago.  As I was looking back it caught my attention.  May this bless you…


Inspiration at the speed of words.  Conviction from the heart of God.  Individuals desiring to follow Jesus.  You.  Me.  Read on:

 

"...risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."  Acts 15:26

 

"For he risked his life for the work of Christ..."  Philippians 2:30

 

"What is impossible for people is possible with God."  Luke 18:27


"...he and his entire household rejoiced because they all believed in God." Acts 16:34

 

"...a loud mouth who missed his opportunity!" Jeremiah 46:17

 

"But some people have missed this whole point..." 1 Timothy 1:6

 

"Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus..."  2 Corinthians 4:11

 

"...good-hearted people who hear God's word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest."  Luke 8:15

 

"Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live..."  2 Thessalonians 1:12

 

POINT: don't let the bigness of God pass you by.  God wants to show the people around you (and you) just who He is.  Try it.

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...
