Who Are You Living For?
Posted in Reflections, tagged Life, Purpose on May 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Who are you living for? What is the purpose of your life? Who, in your life, who do you want to see happy? Whose purpose, pleasure, and joy are you living for? Are you living for yourself? Or are you living for God? Today’s reflection will be shorter, because I want you to really stop [...]
Simple

One of my favorite statements by John Wesley was in talking about the Bible. He said “The Bible contains everything needful for salvation. And everything that is needful is made plain within.” I just love that quote because it tells us two things. First, everything we need to know to be a Christian is found [...]
The Lord Appeared. Really?

How do you expect God to show up in your life today? How do you expect God to speak to you or show Himself to you today? A lot of time we expect God to show Himself to us as He does to Isaiah, where the smoke and wonder fill the Temple. We expect God [...]

For those of you that missed it, I wrote some words about the controversy about the prediction that the world would end this past Saturday. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, you can read it by clicking here, or just by scrolling down. Now, for today’s reflection. Grace changes things. I fully believe [...]

My Take on May 21, 2011 Not Being the End of the World

It looks like the world will not end today. Jesus told us that no one knows the hour or day, but for some reason that doesn’t “sell” as much as guessing about when it will all happen. Now, I’ve had as much fun as the rest of you with laughing at the claims that the [...]
Where’s Your Head At?

One of the statements any ball player hears, and it’s one that I heard A LOT when I played ball, was where’s your head at? You’ll see a player out on the field, looking like they are thinking about everything under the sun, except the game, and then not be ready when something happens. It’s [...]
