So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See…

His Work
Start Living!
Right at this very moment, I’m hiding in the bushes of my front yard watching the sun come up. I’m worshiping. I hear His song through the birds gathering and being– “His Eye is on the Sparrow”. I know He is pursuing me with His unfailing love and goodness. A train whistle blows. Travelers. Progress. Moving forward….
You were made for more!
You were made for more. God created you for a specific work. As you learn more and more how God works, you will learn how to do your work. (Colossians, Chapter 1) When your circumstances seem contrary to a work ordained by God and more like chaotic disaster, or mundane, rat race, it’s time to refocus and…
Have You Ever Tried to Walk on Water?
There is an expression that most of us are familiar with.

The Writings of Charles Spurgeon Lifted Us!

The Notebook: A great expression of God’s love for us
Strategy 4, Your Family. By now you know I’m reading the book FerVent by Priscilla Shirer. The chapter on “Family” was familiar. I have three beautiful daughters, and I’ve been married for 27 years. Most books and Bible verses on marriage, I’ve read a thousand times, or heard lectures with similar themes and messages. I’ve been…
Keep throwing sticks in the water
Imagine living in 848 BC. You have no modern conveniences, and you are working hard out in the heat of the day to build a home. In order to build this dwelling place, you had to borrow an ax to cut down trees, one-by-one, to provide safety and shelter. In 2 Kings 6 the sons…
