The Shield part 1

I always thought Captain America was one of the best super heroes. Smartest, anyway. Because he was a dude who got himself into situations where, quite often, people were shooting at him. So what did he have for a weapon? A shield! It just makes sense. And I think, even at a young age, I always...

Writing someone a letter is a little old fashioned these days. I think email is about as close as we get anymore. Which is kind of a shame. Because there's something special about putting pen to paper. Expressing your feelings in really pretty permanent way. In the age of emojis and snapchat... it...

God wrote a letter to the world. A letter of love. Unconditional, unstoppable, inseparable love. And He didn't just write it TO us, He wrote it IN us. THROUGH us. Because WE are that love letter. He wrote it, and we publish it. Look at 2 Corinthians 3:6, "His letter authorizes us to help carry out...

We are God's love letter to the world. "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart" (2 Corinthians 3:3). Written by God. Ministered by...

We are God's love letter to the world. That's what I'm trying to say in this Rant series. Our lives are a letter read by all men. Everybody is watching you. Judging you. Especially if they know you're a Christian. People hold Christians to a higher standard. "You're not supposed to do that." "Isn't...

So we've been talking about the Three T's, right? Time, Talent, Treasure. The way that we express love to each other. Giving what we have, and who we are, to each other. I want to continue on with that theme for the next few days. And I want to use 2 Corinthians 3:2 in the Message Bible as my key...

Time part 5

11/17/2019 20:06

There's not enough of me to go around. Too much to do and not enough time in which to do it. That's a hard thing to accept, especially in my case where I want to do as much as I can for as many people as I can. Which makes priorities even more important. How we choose to use the time we have is...

Time part 4

The most important, valuable, priceless thing we have in life is our time. Because once it's gone... it's gone. So we should be careful about how we spend it. Or use it. We should make sure that what we do with our time is useful. And, listen, that doesn't mean you have to push yourself past the...

Mother Teresa said, "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." I couldn't agree more. The most important people--the people you have the most influence over and connection with--in your life are the ones you live with on a daily basis. Those are the people you can really pour...

Time part 2

11/14/2019 19:58

I don't think I've ever heard this verse I'm about to quote used in this context. So stick with me. Romans 12:1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." Now it seems to...
