Listen. Obey. Pray.

If you can do these three things, you can follow Jesus. God will reveal himself to you throught the Holy Spirit. He will speak to you. My faith has never been stronger-because I have been consistently doing these three things. I always thought people were freaks that talked like this, or said they heard God speak to them. Now I know that I was the freak that didn't want to humble himself before God and confess my sins. If you don't confess first (AND I MEAN EVERYTHING), his voice will be clouded by your sin. If you truly make the choice to believe in Jesus Christ, and submit ALL to the creator of the universe, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and reveal God's word to you. I believe. Therefore, I am going to listen, obey, and pray. Why don't you "Come, follow me?"

Sounds like someone may be getting drunk in the spirit a little more often then before. This is fantastic advice that should be shared...I am glad it is out on the web for anyone who needs to hear it can read the truth. Pray changes things. I think we have heard it too many times and don't really believe it the way we should. tmp

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

10 years in a day

So my days are beginning to run together, and the timelines in my brain are blurry after being on the ground at CEM for three days or has it been four? Either way, let's just say that one day in India is like ten years. That is a pretty good description of what reality is like here. Pastor said that sandrews said that on a trip here many years ago, and I was shocked by just how accurate of a statement that was. A day here can bring life events that you might be exposed to once in ten years living the way we live in the US of A. Here, life is hard. No matter what. As we drove to a 'village church' yesterday, we were what one team member describes as 'in the boonies.' (What does that mean exactly?) We saw things that I don't even know if I would have seen in 10 years living in the US. Men harvesting sugar cane and loading it on trucks. That sounds like a very simple sentence, and a very simple thing to do. But when it is in the upper 90's, and ther
