What am I afraid of?

Day 78

What is it about fear that has the ability to paralyze? Fear is an emotion based on speculation about what can happen during a period uncertainty. But it is real…and really can just stop you from doing anything. At that time, it is very lonely…and almost anything can send you into disappointment and [...]

I have life…so now what?

Day 77

Finally the last day in Ezekiel 37. But this is one powerful story…and is real to me. Because I am looking at the hopelessness of a project that I can’t do on my own. Ezekiel is looking at a bunch of dead bones…God tells him to prophesy over the bones…God starts knitting them [...]

What good are bodies without life?

Day 76

Okay…we are still with Ezekiel Chapter 37. He is watching God take a hopeless situation, and knit the answer together piece by piece until He has taken a pile of dry bones and knit them together to make them bodies. Sinew…flesh…and everything…except. Who needs a bunch of dead bodies? Who needs a bunch [...]

God puts things together…

 

Day 75

My mom used to knit all of the time…and I was always intrigued by how she could take yarn and make something out of it. She was so good at it, that most of the time she didn’t even look…

So let’s talk about the way that God knits things together. Ezekiel [...]

The bones come together…

Day 74

We are still in Ezekiel for inspiration today. Yesterday, God let Ezekiel look at the hopelessness of the situation…the dry bones. And then Ezekiel told God that the answer to whether these bones can rise up is completely up to Him. We continue in Ezekiel 37:

Ezekiel 37:4-6 – Again He said [...]

Dry Bones…

Day 73

It is amazing how God steers your thoughts and actions if you are letting Him. The more I realize how unable I am to restore Emmaus, and how impossible the task is….God takes me to Ezekiel 37. I am sure that you all have heard the story, or at least the expression….but it [...]

Do the impossible! For men that is…

Day 72

Wow…I have just jumped head first into an impossible project…and I am loving it! Of course, I am scared to death. Because in and of myself…there is NO WAY that this will ever happen. The project is the Village of Emmaus. I wrote about one of the most amazing people that I have [...]

Eliminate the “I” and Accentuate the “I AM”

During my morning drive into work I am fortunate to be able to prepare for the day by listening to the teaching of learned brothers in Christ. This morning I had the privilege to hear the Lord speak profoundly through Pastor Derek Grier (of Grace Church in Dumfries, VA) and the late great Pastor J. [...]

Find people who inspire you…

Day 71

When you want to do good…sadly, we sometimes need an inspiration. There is so much junk that we waste our time with it is no wonder that we seldom really do anything that is substantial. I saw the front page of the Washington Post this morning, and the article was about Capitals fans [...]

Commit? Ouch….

Day 70

The single reason that everything fails is that people quit. It is not easy staying with it…but if we all encourage each other to “not quit” …we can do amazing things. This is a short blog, because I am on the road, but think about Proverbs 24 or Luke 9.

Proverbs 24:10 – [...]
