Remember Monkey Bars when you were a kid? How about those rings on chains? And those igloo-shaped bar cages you could crawl all over? The Bible says walk by faith and not by sight. It says nobody should build something unless they count the cost, otherwise they could get half-way done and get stalled. Yeah, that’ll look . . . → Read More: How Far Can You Reach? I’m not going to dress up a pretty post and end it with Selah so that it sounds poetic and makes you think. I hate that stuff when I read something thinking, “This isn’t very good,” and on top of that at the end they put a nice little bow on it to make it tidy. . . . → Read More: Selah – It Means Stop And Think A Moment Well, maybe exactly a day over 44. Yesterday was my 45th. Promise gave me a new backyard propane barbecue, then a surprise birthday barbecue at one of our member’s houses. Well, Karen lined all that up. What a wife! And I got about a hundred Happy Birthday’s online. Fun, huh? I just had a flashback to Billy . . . → Read More: I Don’t Feel A Day Older Than 44 In life I have to work like it’s up to me, and pray like it’s up to God. Both are true in ANY area of life, huh? As a pastor I have the responsibility of leading a flock. It doesn’t matter if it’s 40 or 40,000, the rules are still the same. Namely: No matter how . . . → Read More: Work, Pray, Work, Pray, Listen, Obey, Listen, Obey The bible says we shouldn’t have to put an oath to seal our words, but just let yes and no mean yes and no. Do you mean it when you tell somebody something? I try to be that way. Of course everybody fails, like a dad who promises his kids to go to the movies, but . . . → Read More: My Word Is My Bond Recently I heard a mom tell another kid’s dad that his son didn’t need to press very hard at baseball practice. “It’s the off-season,” she said. “You can push him during the Spring season. It’s not like practicing NOW is going to make a difference THEN.” Now, I’ve seen some really unbalanced dads in our Little League . . . → Read More: Is Washing Dishes Really Spiritual? Check your Recently Played list. You can’t really delete things off the list in real life, but you can bump some weak tracks down by playing the good ones frequently. That would preach, huh? . . . → Read More: What’s On Your Ipod? I’m finishing up with the 3rd of a 3-part sermon series this weekend. As I’m working on it here on my laptop I was thinking of what to title this sermon. I usually give them titles because it’s a basic way to reference them at some point in the future, and it gives it a truth-in-labeling . . . → Read More: Sermon Titles I did a sermon series called, “What’s Really Going On Here?” It was about how God works in the background on things you and I don’t see. Throughout history He has shown His hand, but not at the times Man has wanted; it was in His sovereign timing. Everything turns out okay in His plan, but . . . → Read More: What’s Really Going On Here? Anyone who says they don’t have sin is lying. The Bible says that clearly. It means everybody. Everybody. Not just people who haven’t reached some imaginary place in this life. Everybody.
