Moving…

I am going to be moving blogging areas!  I am going to work with a group over at He Redeemed Us.  Pretty excited about the opportunity to continue writing with a larger resource pool!  So if you get a chance update your bookmarks and check out He Redeemed.us

Blogging from the road

I will be heading out of town this week for a work related conference.  Hopefully I will find time to keep posting, but the posts may come at more sporadic times than usual!

Resurrection Sunday

Today is Resurrection Sunday, the day the Protestant church recognizes the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The day that evil was defeated and death handed defeat.  Let’s remember how special this event was and the second chance we were given.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the [...]

Verse of the Week – Reminder

Just a reminder…every week we will be pulling one verse from the Bible to memorize, reflect and study each week.  I challenge you to join in this adventure.  Focus first on studying and learning about the verse.  The memorization will come.
Verse of the Week Challenge

With his stripes we are healed

I love the the way Isaiah 53:5 is phrased.  It does an absolute wonderful job of putting into words the sacrifice Jesus Christ made.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:5
It’s easy [...]

Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy

I appreciate the feed back via comments and email about the Sabbath Day and some of the activities you all do.  I found a few activities from people who emailed me that were pretty neat, so I am going to go ahead and post those here:

Family Day – no television, family prayer and Bible study [...]

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
Wait did I read that right? Does that say count it joyful when I am in a trial; I better check a different translation.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, [...]

I am not ashamed of the Gospel

There is a hymn that you have probably sung a hundred times in church:
We’re an anchor for those who are hurting
We’re a harbor for those who are lost
Sometimes it’s not always easy
Bearing Calvary’s cross
We’ve been ridiculed by those
who don’t know Him
We’ve been mocked by those who don’t believe
Still I love standing [...]

The Sabbath

Today is Sunday, the day Protestant Christians typically set aside to observe the Sabbath.  I wonder sometimes if we take this day to lightly?  Do you treat Sunday the same as Monday-Saturday; if you do, does this seem ok or possibly not a big deal?
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he [...]

A Quiet Place

One of the important things in growing in our Christian faith and in our walk with God is our devotion and prayer time.  There are tons of approaches to doing devotions and when the best time to do them is.  I have tried many different times and many different styles.
There is no reason in getting [...]
