How great the Chasm

“We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God.” ― J.I. Packer

"Obedience without delight is only half obedience." — Charles Spurgeon

Pastors, there is no pressure to crush your sermon on Sunday - absolutely zero. Why? Because Jesus got up out of the grave and is still reigning as King. Let that be enough for your church and for you.

Preach the gospel today, so tomorrow you will not forget

Lord, I worry because I forget your wisdom. I resent because I forget your mercy. I covet because I forget your beauty. I sin because I forget your holiness. I fear because I forget your sovereignty. You always remember me. Help me to remember you. Amen...

In holiness, God makes man in his own image. In sinfulness, man makes God in his own image.

Jesus wants us to experience life in him here and now not just the saved for later mentality.

This was an AMAZING week! Even more amazing when God shines through students!

"Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go." -Max Lucado

“Pray as you can, not as you can’t” Don Chaplain

As believers We are only sustained BY Christ through our Dwelling IN Christ or Christ In us. We can have knowledge of Him but only through walking with him can we experience the fullness of God. #ephesians

4-generation fade: 1-Parents don’t make church a high priority for their kids 2-Kids grow up & make it less of a priority for their kids 3-Those kids grow up & make it no priority for their kids 4-Those kids grow up w/ no concept of God Priorities today, impact generations.

“It is a good thing to be without a trouble; but it is a better thing to have a trouble, and know how to get grace enough to bear it.” Charles Spurgeon

“Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.” Benjamin Franklin I may not have a Blue check but that’ll preach.

"No short cut exists for a deeper spiritual life...the man who would know God must give time to Him.” - A.W. Tozer

What brings you joy?

“But I enter your house by the ABUNDANCE of YOUR FAITHFUL LOVE; I bow down toward your holy temple in reverential awe of you.” Psalm 3:7

Did those in charge of filming Wheel of Time read the books and just go…nah

What to do when your kids aren't walking with Jesus: 1. Pray without ceasing. 2. Remember that God loves them even more than you do. 3. Don't compromise your faith, but also don't argue about it. 4. Don't burn a bridge, so they have a path back. 5. Point to Jesus when possible.
