Missional Vs Institutional

Interested in a couple of good reads regarding the church & its purpose?  The verbiage is “missional” &  these books I highlight, are a great place to start.  I never signed-up just to do church.  I am the church, love the church, and ultimately Jesus died & gave His life for the redemption of mankind, [...]

A Day after the Day!

Took the family to Mesquite for a little getaway following Sunday services.  We haven’t been major vacation people, not sure why, but we do quick jaunts, and still create memories as a family.  I will never regret spending money to create lasting memories.
We stayed at Highland Estates in Mesquite.  Absolutely the best bang for our [...]

Called

I hung out with Kurt & Kelly Smith last night.  A couple that just arrived back from Northern India, and ultimately are called to full time missions in India.  This couple is truly called, and you hear it in their stories, their voices, their passion, etc…..It was refreshing sitting with people that know their call, [...]

Stuff

Is change in the air?  It has to be!!  Like it?  More than likely you don’t, because studies have shown conclusively that the majority of people buck change, and in some cases really fight to keep it from happening.   Why? I have my theories and maybe will share some of them down the road, but [...]

Abraham Lincoln Proclamation

I read this the other day & was so moved by it, I felt it was necessary to post.
By the President of the United States of America.
A Proclamation.
Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, [...]

A Holy Challenge!!!

HOLINESS. THE CHRISTIAN’S JOINT VENTURE WITH GOD. “Be holy, for I am holy,” commands God to His people. But holiness is something that is often missed in the lives of so many that call themselves Christ Followers. Often times it is because we’re not exactly sure what our part in holiness is.

Council

“There’s wisdom in council!”  Have you heard that somewhere before?:)
Last night our advisory council met for just over 3 hours.  So much to cover, so many changes in the air, and we’re working to capitalize & harness energy that will advance the local church – “Glocally” (A word I recently heard that is used to [...]

Mom's & Boy's

I called my mom yesterday, and wished her a happy M-day.  I almost forgot & that would’ve made today very bad!!:0  Not really, but I did almost forget.  I do love my Mom & thank God for her nurturing, insight, love, cooking:), etc…. and for sticking with my Dad when the going got tough.  I [...]

In my first two posts on “Developing Your Unique Purpose”, I pretty much pave the way towards what [...]

Decisions & Destinations

A quick reflection from a day spent with my oldest son Samuel.  In Vegas we have year round schools, so he’s currently on track break, so I promised him some quality time while he was off for a month.  I had a blast with him, and love being, and count it an honor to be [...]
