Sunday Reflections

Sunday was unusual! Here's a quick review of our series: In the Name of Love...Say it! (Declare you will be a home that has Christ @ its' center) Live It! (Choose to love, forgive and be counter-cultural) and lastly Fight It! Before I spoke I was apprehensive about being that transparent! God has allowed me to hear some feedback & evidently He challenged all of us to step it up in our marriages & Fight Right (in a way that honors Him)!

I also addressed a void I have noticed...as one old pastor put it: "Too much dust on the altar!" I believe it should be full every time the Word is given! Full of people praising God for His goodness, praying for others and themselves, repenting of sin, etc...When we do this and have this attitude, I believe the power of God will be upon us! More to come...

Blessings to each of you...

I like big...

My friend Dave Adams reminded me recently that there are ebb and flows in ministry. Sometimes you're in the "flow" (things are going good!) and other times you're "ebbing" (all you want to do is run and hide!) I have found myself in the ebb lately. I was bummed. Down. Had no desire to push on! My creative juices were dry. This was for many reasons but the fact is I was in a low place!

Then my wife steps in! She is a woman with big faith! Her attitude, support and vision for God to do the impossible has re-energized me! She has fed my faith fire! I love my "big faith" wife!
