Paul in his ministry did a lot of pretty scary things. He went to some pretty rough places. He faced down some pretty tough dudes. He was willing to do all of this, because He had a passion, a calling a desire to take the good news of Jesus’ love, mercy, and salvation to as [...]

God always has purpose for His people. Now, for us as individuals, that purpose may include specific things, in relation to our lives, our families, who we are and what we do. God has specific callings and purposes for you in your life. You were made for something specific for Him. You have gifts and [...]
I Don’t Want To!

I really wish that life was all unicorns and rainbows. That’d be awesome. It would be great if life was only made up of things that were easy, of things that we liked doing; of things that we would chose to do. That’s not the way that it works. Life is not always made of [...]
Something Better

One of the great things about the New Year and the starting over we get to do each year in this time is the chance to reaccess what is most important. What matters most. What are really living for? There is something better than the 9-5 grind that many of experience each day. There is [...]
Some Important Things to Remember
Posted in Reflections, tagged Forive, Love, Purpose, Serve on December 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It’s good to be reminded of things sometimes. I always joke with folks at church, if I don’t set a reminder in my phone for things that I’m supposed to do, then things won’t get it done. And even those of us with exceptional memories can at times forget things; forget things we are supposed [...]

Paul today reminds us what we were made for by God. We were not created for destruction. God did not make us to condemn us. We were made for salvation, made for relationship with Him. As the statement is said, What is the chief end of man? To know God and to enjoy Him forever. [...]
What Are We Here For?
Posted in Reflections, tagged Life, Purpose, Questions on November 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Why are we here? What are we here for? That’s a question that we’ve asked at some point in our lives. That’s a question we’ve all pondered at some point in our lives. That’s a question that we’ve all thought about it. It may be something that’s kept us up, robed our sleep, caused us [...]
Good Gifts
Posted in Reflections, tagged Gifts, God's Love, Life, Purpose on August 23, 2011 | 1 Comment »
God wants good things for us. Really, He does. Now, saying that is a dangerous statement. Because our understanding of what good things are is not always the same as His understanding of what good things are. Our understanding of good things often turns to earthly success or earthly possessions. God giving me good things doesn’t necessary mean [...]
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 [...]
