snippets from the past

I want to finish this week with some “snippets” from past e-devotions. Things that stick out … truth I need to be reminded of … God continuing to guide and love and lift us.

Take some time today and this weekend digest, or at least read again, the things God has shared before. God is still working because God is good!

John 8:36 NASB

So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

Freedom can be described in all different kinds of ways. Often it refers to someone not received what they deserve. On the other hand freedom can be described as something given by grace and undeserved and not easy to understand.

And another …

SURE THING: God’s love never ends!

SURE THING: God’s mercy never ends.

SURE THING: God’s faithfulness is incredible.

SURE THING: God’s mercy is refreshing and sweet every morning.

SURE THING: God is our hope.

SURE THING: If we depend on God, He is good to us.

SURE THING: Waiting on God brings reward.

SURE THING: I am an heir to a great inheritance because of God

Claim what is a sure thing directly from our God.

And another …

John 13:34 NASB

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Choose this week to be the cheerleader, the servant, the helper, the listener, the prayer warrior for one another!

There ya go.

I am encouraged so often by what I see God doing. To see what He is doing often takes remembering what He did in the past He will do again.

Have a great weekend!

Finally, please pray for the trip to Cuba next week and the retreat I will help to host May 5-7 for the FCA sports ministry staff in Cuba. Thank you! God is good!

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...
