my savior


There is something about us that changes greatly when we finally come face to face with God.  He changes us.  His love is poured out on us in refreshing ways.


God has chosen His best gift to flow his salvation through.  This Sunday we continued our series “good God” by discussing how God is our Savior and how He rescues us on a daily basis.


David in Psalm 30 describes this across the twelve verses in a way that make is very personal.  He talked about a sickness that almost took his life or maybe the deep, dark depression that loomed over his life.  God came close and rescued the one He loved so much.


Hosea 13:4  NLT

“I have been the Lord your God ever since I brought you out of Egypt. You must acknowledge no God but me, for there is no other savior.


God continues to rescue.  He is our Savior.  Always will be our savior.  Just like God brought the people out of Egypt and through the Red Sea, He will bring us through.


He is our God.  He continues to be our Savior.


Psalm 18:2  NLT

The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.


I love how David put that together.  It was personal.  My rock.  My fortress.  My Savior.  My rock.  My shield.  No question what so ever because God showed up and showed off doing what He was called to do.


Jude 1:25  NLT

All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.


We will stop there.  Yet I ask … how have your experienced God and found Him to be good?  Think about it.  Share with others.  He is our savior and ready to rescue us!

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...
