We are continuing the theme from two recent blogs (learning lessons from Joshua 3).  We know that the people of Israel are on a journey with God.  We’ve said to move forward with God, they need to “leave Shittim” (an actual place in the Ancient Near East).  Basically they need to leave some old things […]

Leaving “Shittim”

Read Joshua 3 “Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the star ship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.” Ever since I was a kid and first heard Captain James T. Kirk speak […]

By on Monday, January 31st, 2011 | No Comments

Do you remember that fellow who was possessed by demons?  He was called “legion.”  (You can read about him here: Luke 8:26-39).  I think I met him what i was a kid! When I was growing up down in Florida, there was a man living a block over from us that everyone in the neighborhood […]

Isaiah 6:1-8 – Many worship leaders have used the Scripture passage for today’s scripture reading as a call to worship.  Certainly that is fitting, especially when we get a clear picture in mind for what worship is all about.  In our culture, worship tends to be seen as a cultural event aimed at the people.  […]

I once served as a volunteer in a mission for homeless men.  My job was to serve the evening meal and spend some time in fellowship with the men staying in the shelter. After serving the meal I prepared a plate for myself and sat with the men in the dining hall.  I sat at a […]

Included – Luke 7:41-50

So, this fellow invited Jesus to dinner. He was an upstanding citizen in his community and extremely loyal to his church.  Everything was going just fine, till this “sinner” entered the room.  She wasn’t such an upstanding member of the community.  She had no business in such a gathering – no business in the home of […]

Leadership Makes A Difference

By on Friday, November 12th, 2010 | No Comments

In his book Developing the Leader Within You, John Maxwell defines a leader as a person of influence.  When a leader speaks, people listen.  When a leader takes an initiative, people are inspired to follow.  When a leader tackles a problem, he or she makes a difference.  Nehemiah was such a leader (read Nehemiah 2:4-8, […]
