One is encouragement.When I make a list of people that are an absolute treat in my life (besides my children) it is made up of encouragers. What a joy it is to spend time with them--I ...

At Wordpress you can see the search terms used that led readers to your blog. It always makes for interesting and informative reading. On my personal blog I recently noticed some of the phrases people typed into a search engine that landed them at my site, and it was a reminder of how hurting people reach out for help online. One search phrase was, “can God forgive me for getting pregnant?” Another was “finding help ...

Many pastors copy models. There is the “seeker sensitive” model, the “purpose driven” model, the “emergent church” model, the “contemporary church” model, the “spirit-filled classic charismatic” model, the “small group” model, the “multi-site” model, the “missional inner-city” model, the “dream center” model, and the list could go on and on. Each of those models and the leaders who practice them have contributed a ton to the Kingdom. Rather than copying the latest model that moves ...

For years I tried to be like other ministers. I listened to messages, attended conferences, and devoured every Christian book I could. Each time I learned from a new leader, I tried to become more like them. God led me to do something very different. (I don’t recommend this for you. I’m just sharing the story of what God led me to do.) For an extended season, I stopped attending conferences, reading ministry books, and ...

This story is very famous; sometimes the old man is the boys grandfather, other times the main characters are mother and daughter. What matters most is that the message remains the same..."Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked ...

Going on to Jr. High. Going ...

God said "No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up."I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said. "No. Her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary."I asked God to grant me patience. God said "No. Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; ...

I’ve been reading the book of Acts recently… trying to wrap my head around what it must have been like for the apostles in the short time after Jesus had left them to do the great commission. I love chapter 16 where Paul and Silas have apparently aggravated enough people to the point that they are beat up and thrown in prison. What I love is that they didn’t let their brutal situation dissuade them ...

Ryan over at www.iamanoffering... sent me an email a couple of days ago about “Blog Action Day“. I’d never heard of it so I took some time this morning to check it out. “Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day. Our aim is to raise awareness and trigger a global discussion.”. It looks like ...Shared by Tyler (12)Contribute comment
