Here lately I’ve been praying a lot about my lifestyle and attitude of worship. I recall Sunday mornings where I see the Spirit of God all over people and I wonder and ask, "Why am I not worshiping like that?"
Yet lately, I have been pressing through as if no one else is around. And through this God has been showing me how many of us worship on Sundays. Or even everyday.
In a world full of fast paced "ordering"…you know fast-food drive-thrus, Ebay, Online Shopping, Super Expedient Shipping….all these things give us next day arrivals of our expectations.
And many of us want our worship to be the same. We want the fast lane or self checkout when we walk into church, hoping we can just walk in and walk out, and just pay for what we want. Maybe because we don’t like to wait, or maybe we are tired of the same songs, or just the routine.
But God has a different idea of it all. Read the rest of this entry »

You know what I love? I love those days when you get up and read the bible, and the same book…the same story…gives you something new.
Yesterday I was reading the book of Luke, and he begins to write the book in an unexpected way. You would think that he would just jump into the story of Christ, but he begins telling his friend Theophilus that he studied these things to a "T". There was no room left for error. It was the best he could do to get the story right.

Here lately Pastor has been teaching on the thought life. How it happens, how it affects, and he will soon teach on how to tear down the strongholds in our thought life.
This morning as I reading, I came across Hebrews 4:12. I knew the verse, but always put emphasis on the word of God being sharper than any two-edged sword. I knew it was powerful, but I never saw the application of which its power can be used.

Ever have those days where you feel like you are just worn out? Maybe you’ve worked all day and you get home and your mom says, "You need to clean your room!" - And of course you don’t have the strength to do it. But you do.
Our daily walk with Christ is the just the same way. Maybe we’ve read our bibles, prayed it up, and fought the Devil all the way home - And at the end of the day you just want to relax - But the Devil doesn’t take a vacation so he hits you with his best shot! - Now tell me you don’t feel like giving up.
