You were saved by faith in God, who treats us much better than we deserve. This is God's gift to you, and not anything you have done on your own. 9 It isn't something you have earned, so there is nothing you can brag about. 10 God planned for us to do good things and to live as he has always wanted us to live. This is why he sent Christ to make us what we are. Ephesians 2:8-10
Q: Is Christmas a time of “extravagant wastefulness” for you?
choosing a pastor has become so weighed down with process and people… prayer, fasting & REALLY listening… then obeying rarely comes into play. In Acts, they arrived at a simple outcome: “it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us” Acts 15:28.
I’m all yours Lord. I’ll do whatever you ask. I’m confident that whatever is on your list is better than what’s on mine. ~ chilly
I'm seeking God HARD to discover His timing and strategy -- no time to be passive... I don't want to just be close, I want to HIT THE BULLSEYE!
As long as there are hearts full of passion that embrace the face of fear, there will always be hope amidst great opposition and staggering apathy.
God is preparing me and Netta for our BEST days of ministry — and we’ll be READY when He puts us IN to whatever NEW adventure He is preparing!
Character takes more time to develop than Charisma but it lasts MUCH longer and will bring with it the wisdom, from God, to lead & sustain you.
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. Isaiah 43:2
looking back over my life & ministry, it's painfully obvious that I rarely did things close to perfect. I should've smiled more, said less, given bigger, listened longer and prayed more specifically.
Christmas is the celebration of “presence.” The incarnation (God, the Son, coming to earth and becoming human through Jesus Christ) reveals the importance God places on being fully present.
its’ been a crazy last 3-4 months… and WE ARE READY for the next chapters!
