True Courage

This might be tough to swallow but just for a moment think about this. Imagine your neighbors home on fire you see it run outside and laying beside your feet is a hose but you freeze. You stand there fear has you helpless you know that they are going to die but you do nothing. Think of your emotional state. The sleepless nights that follow. Now is this you in the story, really do you freeze or grab the hose and attempt to save their life? I just got done reading a great quote and it reads like this. "So many churches have diluted and adulterated the clear, powerful gospel in ways that robbed it of its vitality and power." We need to see the gospel the way the early disciples did fearless and convicted. Now back to the story its easy to hear a story like that and sat no way I just let them burn, but really? There is people around us all of us who are dying daily and we need to ask ourselves are we standing there froze or are we ready to take action. Do we lose sleep over the lives that don't know Christ. I just ask you this are you truly passionate about saving the lives of those around us or are we standing like cowards froze watching people burn?

God aka the show off

I just got done spending a few days with Melanie and while I was away I would watch the sunrise. That got me thinking you know God is a show off and I mean that with love. Lets just think of a few the sunrise and sunset, the northern lights (that's neat) and the grand canyon just to name a few of what is a very long list. God also shows off right in front of us but we miss it alot. Several weeks ago I was talking with my dad about outreach goals for the church we joked how nice it would be to get one person a week. That just seemed too ambitious so we settled on two or three people a month. That's when God decided to show off. In the last ten weeks we have had 11 families join yes families for a total of twenty six people. Its like God said don't you see I am better than you can imagine. I am sorry for ever doubting just how capable God is. I think we do that far to often. Think of all the wonders that God has created the fact he is the one who tells the sun to rise yet we struggle with the idea of fully relying on God. Well as for me I got it God you keep working your miracle and I am honored to be on this awesome ride with you. Thank you Jesus you are so great and I pray that you continue showing off. I am paying attention and don't want to miss a thing.

And the lights shine!!

You know that Christmas time is a great reminder of what Christ meant when he called us to be the light of the world. When you drive around you just cant help but be drawn to the lights. Hanging from the houses and on the trees. We just cant help but be reminded of Christmas by all the lights. Which gets me thinking if we are to be the light of the world when people See you what are they reminded of. Now we might not be reminding them of all the dark that is in the world but the truth is we are to remind people of Christ and his love for us. Life is a light so you cant avoid it you are shinning a light on something. When I was a golf pro I would shine for golf people that I came in contact with knew what I did. I was excited about golf and talked people into golfing. My energy towards the game of golf was contagious people who didn't golf found themselves trying it. We must realize that we are guiding people towards something restaurants movies. people influence people period there is no denying it. So just think to yourself this Christmas when you see the lights how are you influencing people. What are you shinning your lights on?

Room for Christ (stupid inn keeper)

Well you know we talk alot about missing Christmas. Just think of that inn keeper, man if he only knew that he wouldnt make room for Jesus Christ. We look back on this guy and think man what an idiot. While I think about this guy and think of how busy we get around Christmas maybe we are not so different. Are you leaving room for Christ? Lets be honest we look at that man at the inn and say wow how in the world could he turn away Jesus. Well Jesus is at the door of our hearts and he stands and knocks. Are you leaving room for Christ? People say well if I was the man at the inn I would have cleared a room out. Well just maybe we need to do some cleaning out of our own. Lets just examine ourselves and see how much room we are leaving for Christ. Do not look back and see we were just like the man in the inn. Leaving Jesus knocking at the door with no room. So ask yourself are you leaving room for Christ??

Litter nose

The other day my dog walked into the room with cat litter on her nose gross. Yes she is eating cat poop and it got me thinking. You know I never would have noticed if it wasn't for the litter on her nose. We go through each day as an ambassador for Christ with a bunch of poop to deal with. We are faced with decisions in which we know the right answer yet we may find ourselves compromising. So just ask yourself do you have litter on your nose?

Its not Happy Holidays!!!

Thats right its not happy holidays it is HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Let us all remember what Christmas is really all about. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. Want to know what all the gift giving is about then? Well with the birth of Jesus Christ came the greatest gift of all. When remembering his birth lets remember why he came, he came here to give us the gift of salvation (eternity in heaven) Which he paid for by giving his life for us. With that said the greatest gift of all time has been given to you do not leave it unopened (not accepting a gift of this worth is simply not smart). Open it by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior dont put this off!!!

With Love, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS
