I Am Yours! Black lights & white gloves…

It’s still one of my favorite songs: Casting Crowns’ song “I Am Yours.” My sister sent me the link to a very creative video - black lights and white gloves. Check it out:

God’s peace,

“Be Fearless.” - My Sweet Message from Dad

If you’ve been reading my last few posts, they have to do with fears that God is stirring up in me due to the series my church is going through right now called “The Plunge: Faith in Action.”
We even talked about it last night at worship rehearsal. God reminded me last night that the Bible [...]

Facing Your Fears - Going Deeper with God (Part 1)

The pastor at our church, Tim Whipple, has been doing a series on “The Plunge: Faith in Action.” It’s all about jumping in and going deeper with God.
God has used this series to really stir up a number of things in me. That’s what I love about my God the most - He loves me [...]

A Case of Mistaken Identity

As Christians, we’re to be a light in this world. People are watching you whether you care to believe it or not. Especially if you identify yourself as a Christian.
Here’s a funny my friend sent me that made me think:
A man was being tailgated by a stressed out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the [...]

Who’s Your Favorite Superhero?

My church is doing a series that relates spiritual aspects to current TV shows. This week’s message is about Heroes. I thought I’d just put it out there and see who responds:
Who’s your favorite superhero? And, why?
Or, if you prefer, if you could have any superpower, what would it be? And, why?
You can make it [...]

A Grand Opening

God had been preparing us individually for months, maybe years. Lives have been aligning with God’s plan for this new work for quite some time. Some of us were unaware of what was about to happen, others were unaware of how God would bring the right people together to make it happen. People had been meeting, [...]

Do you mourn? - Isaiah 61

There’s a lot of hurting going on in the world today - even in your country, your own city - your own neighborhood. Through today’s chapter, God has reminded me that He has called me (and you) to proclaim this message to our neighbors (and fellow church members):
3 To all who mourn in Israel, he will [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m so thankful to all my dBraggers out there. Thanks for reading my blog and for the many emails. I don’t know where I’d be without your encouragement to be in God’s word every day. It, more than anything else, is transforming me into what He wants me to be.
I pray that you and your [...]

Don’t Forget to Pray - My Thoughts on 9/11 Anniversary

Can you feel it? The air is heavy with something deep and dark. I guess since we’ve been hearing it on the news all week leading up to today’s five year anniversary to the tragedy of 9/11, it’s on everyone’s mind - whether or not they were directly impacted. It’s kind of like that feeling [...]

Change of Heart - Romans 2

Paul is trying to make the Jews understand that simply being a Jew - being circumcised, being taught the law, going to church on Sunday - is not what saves. Even the gentiles - who don’t have the written law - instinctively obey the law because it is written on their hearts, “for their own [...]
