perspective


Just some quotes.  As the day after the election arrives I am more convinced than ever that God is in control.  No, I don’t like all the results nor situations outside of my control.  We know that God is still God.


We know that God loves people, you and me and others.  We know that God has a plan to give hope where there is none.  We still know that you and me can be gracious tools of God’s peace for the people we encounter. 


Our perspective makes a difference.  Dig in for a few minutes on this quotes:


Philippians 4:7  NLT  

Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.


No matter what happens on November 8th, Jesus will still be King on November 9th. - Shane Pruitt 


Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies. - Mother Teresa


You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. - Rick Warren


God never made a promise that was too good to be true. - Dwight L. Moody


It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner. - Vince Lombardi 


2 Thessalonians 3:3  NLT  

But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.


Have a great Wednesday and lean on God!

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...
