20 yrs ago we stood before the Lord and pledged our lives and love to one another. We had no idea that it would be such an exciting 20 years of family and ministry. Heather has been the greatest companion that I could’ve asked for. Can’t wait for the next 20!
Contentment is when you are so thankful for what you have, and the One who gave it, that you no longer desire what God has denied or removed from your life.
I think some people who claim “church hurt” actually ARE the “church hurt.” You can’t be vicious in the church and be a victim of the church at the same time.
Proverbs 1:33 - “But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”
The quality of your life will mostly be determined by how well you listen to God.
It still blows my mind every week that Lord allows me to serve Him in any capacity at all. I am very grateful for what He allows our family to do. Thank you to all those who pray for us.
Psalm 130:1 - “Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD.”
God sits in the loftiest place yet His ears can hear those in the lowest place. Call out to Him from wherever you are.
He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the LORD: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. -Prov. 14:2
How you live reveals what you really think about God. Low living = low view of God. Your behavior is the most honest doctrinal statement you’ll ever sign.
“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” -Psalm 107:8-9
We have CALL to worship, but we also have a CAUSE - God has been good to us!
Don’t let a trouble-filled life keep you from living a Spirit-filled life. You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control what happens in you.
When you read the book of Leviticus, pair it up with the book of Hebrews. For every 2 chapters of Leviticus, read 1 chapter of Hebrews. The shadows in Leviticus become much more exciting when you realize the substance is Christ. He is both our High Priest and our sacrifice!
What if singers could only sing in tune if they were in tune with God?
What if a preacher’s sermon was as only as “good” as his walk with God?
Just because man applauds it does not mean that God approves it. Stage presence will never be more important than the secret place.
